Willkie or Joe Palooka, I do resent
any irregularity in any department
of government that favors a public
servant. Any stamp collector, who
has the sense of a lad old enough
to ride bicycle. knows that when
he has stamps no other stamp coll
lector owns he has something OF
huge potential value. I dare say
Ickes has sense enough to ride
bicycle"

Many of us claim, and perhaps
rightly So that the hobby of stamp
collecting is enhanced by the fact
that we all can form our collections
along lines that please us, without
the necessity of listening to the
dictctes of others. In this frame
Of mind we collect our favorite
country or issue. postal cards, pre-
cancels, aeronautical covers, post
marks, foreign revenues, or any
thing that suits our fancy at the
moment. No one is so much an
mdividualist as the stamp collector"
