Several good stories had their origin
In the Washington Philatelic Society S
exhibition. One concerns veteran
collector who, visiting the show, discov-
cred a number of stamps he could not
recall ever having seen before. He
bought them through the societys sales
department and hurried home to place
them in his album. To his amaZement
he found their places already filled. He
had purchased the same issues years
earlier and had forgotten their exist
ence among his treasures.
One of the exhibitors, some days be-
fore the opening of the show, generously
volunteered to arrange the display of
friend. He did the work SO well that
the friend was awarded a first prize,
while he personally was accorded only
honorable mention.
A reformed collector, attending the
auction Thursday evening, made a cov-
enant with himself not to bid. But the
excitement was too stimulating. He
decided to take one chance. In the
end, he bought a number of lots.
Wrapped in single package, they con-
stituted considerable weight. Starting
home. with the bundle under his arm
he reached the car stop only to discover
that he had spent all his money. He
had to walk all the way to Chevy Chase
and carry his purchases with him.

European philatelists are protesting
against the great number of unneces-

The activities of Capital stamp col
lectors during the past week centerec
about the exhibition of the Washing
ton Philatelic Society. The show opened
on Monday evening and closed last
night. Daily attendance was estimated
at approximately thousand persons
An auction sale of stamps and coins
held Thursday evening by the dead let
ter division Of the Post Office Depart
ment, furnished excellent entertain
ment and brought Uncle Sam about

Albert F. Kunze, president of the

produced by the exhibition is the en-
thusiastic interest shown by the public
in the philatelic hobby. This was un-
expected since Westinghouse no.

throughout the year. How -ver, the
visiting crowds were not sporadic; they
we're steady, and mixed in age and

men and women milled among the
frames with a continuous babble of in
terest. The stamps, covers and other
philatelic material shown was of so
highly diversified a character as to
arouse enthusiasm in the large audi
ence
TT is a pleasure to the society to
have been able to provide the city with
an attraction so heartily received. The
exhibition Is forerunner of more elab-
crate events. The next exhibition will
be an even greater success. 1t is hoped
that as q result of its open house pol
icy the society may have become better
known to stamp collectors who hith-
erto have satisfied themselves with re-
cluSe activities.
The cooperation so freely extended
BY the various Government departments
and by the individual members of the
society, has produced a result which
has been very gratifying to those who
directed the exhibition. OF no less
satisfaction has been the support given
by The Star"
