Addressing a recent meeting of the
Westchester County League, Rye. N.
Y, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said:
When the President is very tired. he
turns to his stamp album, which has
been his lifelong hobby. I dent
know anybody else who knows SO
much history and geography as. my
husband, and I think that is largely
due to his interest in stamps"
Charles J. Phillips, writing in the
Stamp Collectors Fortnightly, tells of
visit to President Theodore Roose-
welt in 1904. THE President" he
says. was very genial and seemed
to enjoy chat about stamp collect
ing He told me that he used to COL
lect when a youth. but that he did
not do so now. He said that he
heard that stamp collecting was al
most universal, but that now his
own interest in stamps consisted in
seeing that the officials did not make
any more errors, and send out auto
mobiles upside down."
Speaking at the Exhibition OF Phi
latelic Art, John Drinkwater, English
poet and playwright, said: Some
people sought to excuse philately as
an aid to geography, history or what
not, but always contend that ones
interest in philately Is not inspired
by those things at all, but purely by
| the collectors zeal to make a coll
lection"
