So great has been the demand of collectors for imperfect copies of
 current postage isues, and so great the temptation to dispose of such
 issues 8 sthey might come across. that the Post Office Department has seen fit, to call the attention of its employees to the importance of detecting and withholding stamps of sufficient importance to place them in the class of rare or un-
 usual issues. The note, signed by Third Assitant Postmaster General c. B. EllenbcrgeF, mentions specifically sheets from which the perfOratiOns arc missing
 entirely or in part and stamps and stamped envelopes printed i'm . color other than that as- signed to the particular de- nomination unless such color variety Is noted In the official announcement.
 Postmasters have been requested to withdraw all such issues found, |,
 and report the: facts to the depart- ! ment, awaiting instructions. Fail-
 ure to comply with this request is
 to be considered just cause for dis
 ciplinary action. The Waterbury Stamp Club will meet at s o'clock Monday
 evening at, the Mattatuck His-
 tOrical Society building. 110 West Main street. Pre.cancells and an auction will accompany
 most of the evening. An enter. tainmcnt will follow.
