COMMITTEE SPIRIT
GREATER PALATKA
At TRACTS NOTICE
Letters of Commentator
Received From South
Florida Cities

Commencing the second week of
the Greater Palatka campaign COM
mittee activities, meeting is sched-
uled at a o'clock this afternoon at the
Chamber of Commerce office. Fiji
teen confident and enthusiastic busi-
ness men are to assemble to devise
further plans, because of the hearty
response that has so far met the
committee activities.
An unexpected turn in the affairs
of the committee has come about
through statewide notice given the
publicity carried on in the campaign.
Letters commencing the spirit of the
committee have come in from two
growing south Florida cities, and
third has asked for permission to use
the plan under which the committee
is operating.
Local business men manifesting in
teresting and seeming growing
confidence continue to comment, and
to be outspoken in their belief of
Putnam county's future. Cliff Love-
land, who has proven constructive
genius, particularly in the organiza-
ton of the Palatka Building and Loan
association. that now offers oppor-
tunity to all wage earners to build
their homes in Palatka, says, "YOu

Ne VI POSTAGE DE-
SIGNS DEFENDED
BY ". |. Glover
Says Designs Considered
Because Interests of the
Service Demand 1t
{ BY Associated Press

Washington, August 14.-W. Iry-
ing Glover, third assistant postmas-
ter general, replied today to crti-
cisms reported in some quarters to
the proposed changes in designs of
postage stamps which the postmas-
ter general now has under consid-
Grafton.
Mr.. Glover, in a formal statement,
said the impression seems to prevail
that the new issue of stamps was
proposed because of desire Of stamp
collectors for new designs, when, on
the contrary, changes were under
consideration in the designs entirely
because the best interests of the
service warrant it.
SIN response to appeals of the
postmaster general for suggestions
for the betterment of the postal
service, thousands of letters sug-
gesting new issue of postage stamp
have been received from employees of
the potal service, who have pointed
out the advisability of a more dis
tinct variation in designs for postage.
Stamps, as we'll as colors, that do not
possess striking similarity" he said.
"The department knows that thou
sands of dollars in revenue are lost
yearly in the postal service, due to
striking similarity in stamps, as well
as little deviation in color, which
prevents postal employees from de-
tecting ort-paid matter. This liza
bility to error is increased by can
collation., which often oSliterates the
numeral on the stamps to such ar
extent that errors cannot be detected
promptly. In fact, the present issue
bears so many features alike that er'
rors now made in handling mail witt
these stamps attached are in the ma
jority of cases eXcusable. Particu
larly is this true in many Of the larg
er postoffices, where artificial light
is necessarily being used. lnasmucf
as the stamps from l to 7 cents de
nomination bear the portrait o
Washington and the Scent to S!
bear the portrait of Franklin, posta
clerks cannot easily distinguish tn
denomination in the rapid handlins
of mail because of the lack Of dis
tinctive features"
Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Glover also said that the cost o
preparation of the new special de
livery stamp was very economical
the master die only costing the gov
ernment $43S.91, which was NOR
than twice covered by sale Of thes
stamps to stamp collectors for whic
TO service was rendered.

EXPERTS
ARGUE FOR GREAT
AERIAL STRENGTH
Captain Viscount Curzon
Says Navy of Future
Must Take to Air

the future must take to the air; 9TH
erwise it will be at hopeless disad-
vantage;" said Captain Viscount
Curzon in the house of commons
when the naval estimates came up
for discussion. He pointed out that,
according to the latest figures, the
navy had only nine fighting airplanes
in contrast with the Sc possessed by
the United States navy.
To offset the allegation of Captain
Curzon, the air ministry has issued
statement declaring the British
navy to be better equipped with air
planes than that of any other power
and claiming no fewer than SO fight
ing air machines in commission, with
a large number of reserves.
George Lambert, former civil
lord of the admiralty, expressed the
opinion that the British navy was
very inadequately equipped with air.

the defensive point of view the money
of the taxpayer is being spent to the
best advantage?" ne asked. You
are going to spend 100000 pounds
on two new battleships, but it is use-
less to spend money on capital ships
