On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Several of those who were
sent a sheaf of Christmas Seals
have failed to either return the
seals or the money for them.
We believe that the failure is
due to an oversight on the part
of the recipients and not a de-
liberate attempt to get some
thing for nothing. The names
to whom the seals were sent are
listed and it is easy to note the
delinquents.
