A WARNING TO LOCAL PRESI-
DENTS AND LODGES

We wish to warn our faithful pres
idents in particular and local lodges
in general against sending cash money
through the mail.
Throughout the years we have re-
ceived occasionally letters containing
from one cent to a dollar in ordinary
mail and we have pleaded with our
presidents not to take this risk for
several reasons.
One of our local presidents states
that he put twenty odd dollars in an
ordinary letter and mailed it to the
office, however, the office has not as
yet received this report.
So of t we do things without
thinking. If this local president had
thought over the fact that he was
mailing this amount of money with
out a receipt or anything to h w
that he had mailed it, he would have
had some ground upon which to press
his claim, however, he has paid dear
ly for failing to think.

that fraternity whose number is
legion, the stamp collectors, rallied
by the thousands to see it. I
= Their interest was evoked by the

production marking issuance OF the
United States first postage stamps
in 1847.
Eager philatelists browsing about
saw more than 100000 stamps from
all countries on display in Grand
Central Palace. Value of the stamps
cannot be enthusiastically, but
runs into many millions OF dollars
the Swiss governments exhibit
alone is worth a million.
On exhibit in a special frame
near the entrance was the shows
piece de resistance, one 1856 British
Guinan stamp valued at $4,000,
owner undisclosed.
There were more than $500 OF the
stamp faithful outside the entrance
when the show opened. Another
1900 surged through the doors dur
ing the first hour. &
So many English speaking
foreign guests were expected that
Interpreters on hand-75 in all
were for all languages. including

Joseph ]. Lawler, third assistant
postmaster general, opened the
exhibit, remarking that the United
Estates post office had sold more

He presented stor New York City
the first sheet of a new Scent
centenary commemorative postage
stamp.
