Floyd E. Merrill, editor, Greeley
Colo. Tribune Republican, and an en-
thusiastic stamp collector, writes
While the seaboard fiocks to Europe
on vacations, Uncle Sam misses a great
opportunity by not issuing a series OF
pictorials on the national parks. II
would be Federal advertising paid fol-
many times over by philatelists."
Many variations are being found in
the Newburgh stamp. The numeral
IS" is worth watching. Some are
without ink, a mere frame.
Some weeks ago the government OF
Peru ordered the suppression OF
stamps bearing the portrait of Presi-
dent Sanchez Cerro. The explanation
offered for this action was that the
national stamps should not represent
living man. On April 80 that excuse
ceased to be effective, for on that date
President Cerro was assassinated The
question now is: Will the rejected
stamps be recalled? Perhaps a memo
rial issue will be authorized.
