Speaking before the Collectors
Club of Washington at the Thomson
School Tuesday night, Isaac Gregg
head of the information service O,
the Post Ofdce Department, read 9
letter from Postmaster Genera
Frank c. Walker saying: "I want
you to know that I am deeply in
terested in your problems anc
wishes, and to assure you that
intend to give careful consideration
to all meritorious claims from stamp
organizations which desire new
issues before passing final judgment
on the ones to be selected during the
present calendar year."
Discussion in Post Office Depart
ment circles suggests the possibility
that a Mothers Day stamp, more
or less in the tradition Of the issue
of 1884, may be authorized for re-
lease early in May.
Readers favoring such another
tribute to American motherhood are
invited to indicate their approval to
Deputy Third Assistant Postmaster
General Roy M. North.
One new stamp for each OF the
three major branches of the ma
tional defense-the Army, the Navy
and the Marine Corps-tentatively
is under consideration.
There also is a chance for an
issue in homage to nurses.
At recent meeting the Govern
Ing Board of the Pan-American
Union adopted a resolution calling

the United States-to produce

spirit of international humani-
tarianism exemplified by the In
ternational Red Cross Committee, +"
established by the Geneva Conven-
ton of 1864 1t is proposed that the

gust.
A thorough investigation of the
affairs of the Philippine Philatelic
Agency probably will be ordered
shortly. Meanwhile, a careful check
of the colors of the stamps re-
printed since the fall of Bataan and
Corregidor Is being made.
The New York Sun says: Based
upon a Nationwide poll of collec-
tors, the forthcoming edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica will re-
produce 20 philatelic items with
fame as rarities and oddities. One

lust Between
Yourselves
BY Philip Love-
Editor, The Junior Star.

When I was a boy, q popular
pastime was identifying automobiles.
Some Of my playmates could tell
the name of every car that passed
and, of course, were the envy of the
neighborhood.
Nowadays, nearly every boy and
girl old enough to read and write
fairly well not only knows every
auto on the streets, but recognizes
all types Of airplanes, ships, tanks
and guns. Or, at least, so it seems
to one who, like me, is still struggling
with the various makes of cars.
The other night, during the show
ing Of newsreel, I sat near enough
to two boys to ovsrhear their COM
ments. And 1t was an interesting
and educational experience.
An American warship was shown
in action against the Japanese in the
South Pacific. That's a .5O-caliber
machine gum" exclaimed George A.
(PaD Ford, 10, of Belle Haven, Va.
American planes were pictured
taking off from an aircraft carrier.
Alfred (SonnD Haley, IL, of Cottage
City, Md, knew what kind of planes
they were.
Some more American ships came
into the picture. That's a de-
stroyer," Sonny said. A moment
later, Pal put in, That's a cruiser"
And the exchanges continued in the
same vein throughout the movie.
even covering technical details of
the construction of Navy lifebelts.
Equally impressive was the knowl-
edge displayed by a girl who visited
The Junior Star Office several
months ago. She had a bundle of
drawings which she hoped to have
published. They were not nearly
good enough, but I was struck by
the fact that girl was trying to
draw airplanes and tanks, instead
OF movie stars and fashions. The
planes were labeled with their names
or model numbers, but the tanks
were not.
Don't you know the names of
the tanks as well as the planes?"
I asked.
Il just haven't gotten around to
putting the names on the drawings"
she answered. But I know the
names of most of them" And to
prove 1t, she reeled off enough
