BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. War betweer Italy and Ethiopia, seemingly inevitable, will have phila- telic repercussions. Should the con- flict expand to universal proportions 1t would have even greater effect upon collecting than the struggle of 1914- 1918. The United Sta it has been sug- gested, certainly should have a stamp | for the 150th anniversary of the sign- | ing of the Constitution. If issued, it should go on sale September 17, 1937 An appropriate subject would be the painting by John H. Froehlich in the Pennsylvania Museum at Harrisburg.

Bermuda, September 21.—Air service between New York and Bermuda is expected to begin operation next Summer, now that arrangements have been com- pleted by Imperial Airways, Ltd., and Pan-American Airways, which will conduct the service jointly. The Colonial Parliament of Bermuda has authorized an additional grant toward the construction of the Bermuda air base on Darrells Island. Arriving air passengers will be subjected to only a nominal customs inspection, and will be whisked in fast motor boats to their destinations. | The air base is within a few min- utes of many of the leading hotels, most of which are directly on the water and will receive guests from the motor boats with no necessity - of transfer of passengers or baggage by “was instituted by the act of March A carriage or railway.

Winter is the time for Norway, the land of the ski, where hills, valleys and frozen waters have been traversed by skiers for.more than 1,000 years. A Norwegian, they say, is born with skis on his feet. “To get up before | way is “to get up before the devil puts | on his skis”; a crowd often dots the hills for skiing only two hours after | it is light. It is nothing in Oslo, the capital, to see 10,000 people making for the woods on a frosty morning for a day’s sport. Grandparents with tots but 5 years old clinging to their hands join the throng, for there are jumping contests for young children just as there are ski runs for men 70 years of age and more. NORWEGIANS have never been a hibernating race. Other peoples, including Americans, are inclined to “coop themselves up” in Winter, as if snow were something to fear. In Norway every one wants to be out of doors. Children and adults toboggan, skate, ski, making a world of radiant life, and their enthusiasm becomes so great that excursion trains have to be run all Winter to the most favored ski jumps. Visitors have often remarked that when a Norwegian speaks of the weather in Winter, ne never mentions the cold, but only the warmth of the sun, for this northern sun makes dazzling days for skiers. Combined with the exercise of skiing, it is enough to make one lay aside the | coat one would wear elsewhere. Norway has never set itself up as a land of spas and health cures, but thousands of semi-invalids have long known that it holds a unique place among the health resorts of the world. | A Winter in Norway, say members of the medical profession, causes sleep and appetite to return and in a month the number of red blood corpuscles increases as much as 30 per cent. THE great ski contests for the com- ing Winter are now being ar- ranged, and as in other years, the | compete on Holmenkollen Hill, near | Oslo, for the King’s Cup. It is not at | all unusual for 300 skiers to take part | in this event and for the spectators to number 50,000. The chief skiing resorts, outside | Trondheim, Dalen, and there, as well | as at a score of other places, compe- titions will be held frum early Decem- ber until April. Skiing is not the only Winter sport of Norway. Its people are fond, too, of skating, the sport of the Hollanders, the Germans and the English before Norway took it up. Today the Nor- weglans excel them all; for years they have held first place in speed skating and today they have many world rec- ords for skating over the international distances. __.

Tms surname appears to have been originally spelled Veci, and was introduced int6 England at the time of the Norman Conquest by Robert de Veci, who fought with the Norman invaders at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The name was later changed to Vesey, but has since been spelled Vea- zie, Veazey, Vesy, Vesci and Veschi. The name signifies wet or boggy land. Robert de Veci was rewarded for his services in the conquest of Eng-: land by great estates in the counties of Northampton, Leicester, Warwick and Lincoln.. Some members of the family were knighted and a branch of the family bore the title of Viscount de Vesci. Among the American founders of the name were George Veasey (or Vesey), who settled in Dover, N. H,, in 1659. Robert Veazey was in Water- town, Mass, in 1636 and William Veasey was a freeman in Braintree, Mass!, in 1643. William was born in England in 1616. The coat of arms here shown was brought to America by Col. John Vea- zey of Essex Lodge, Cecil County, Md. He lived in Maryland from the be- ginning of the eighteenth century and served the colony as a justice and as D. C, | C. N.

The Traveler’s Notebook By Jacques ESIGNED primarily for the Empress of Britain's globe- circling passengers, a fasci- nating list of travel litera- ture has been compiled by the Ca- nadian Pacific Co. and placed in the hands of those who plan to sail from New York on January 9 to see the world on a 130-day cruise. The read- ing was chosen especially to provide a background for the adventure that lies ahead in strange lands—the thrills in life and customs, oddity and beauty, color and, yes, smells. The books form a creditable library of their own, for 97 are suggested. Several are old friends, having been read when they were best selling fic- tion, some are crammed Wwith in-a- nutshell facts, and others are delight- fully written treatises on special char- acteristics of the countries. magic pages become almost a world cruise in themselves.
