Unworthy Special Stamps

Something has been added to the head
aches of the Postmaster General and his
Third Assistant. Congress just prior to
adjournment handed them list Of special
commemorative" stamps to be issued be-
fore December 81. In previous years 1t
was customary for the National Legislature
to request" or authorize" such labels, but
decision regarding their actual production
remained with the postal authorities. Re
Gently, however. Senate and House resolu-
tions for extraordinary adhesives have
directed" their printing. This change
makes every such demand must" on the
Postmaster Generals work-sheet, leaving
him no discretion, no choice in the cir
cumStances.
To illustrate the difficulty, Congress has
required the issuance of . stamp to publis
cize the poultry industry. The inspiration
for it allegedly developed in the fertile
brain Of press agent for an exhibition Of
hens and roosters In New England. 1t is
matched by similar appeals for special
labels to advertise the cheese industry In
Wisconsin, the coal industry in West Vir-
ginia, the steel industry in Pennsylvania.
Even the show window decorating industry
wants stamp. 1t Is fair to ask how these
petitions can be denied now that the
poultry business has been accommodated
Coincidentally, Congress directed" the
Postmaster General to bring out stamps
for the centenary Of Fort Kearney, Nebras-
ka the tercentenary of the volunteer
firemens movement; the centenary Of the
Turner's Society; the fftieth anniversary
Of the organization OF the Rough Riders;
the eighty -fifth anniversary OF Lincolns
Gettysburg Address, and the hftieth an
niversary OF the consolidation OF the
boroughs of New York City.
Some of these projects, obviously, are
worthy of recognition. Taken together rs
4 group they raise the question: Do they
not have the effect Of cheapening the
whole conception Of commemorative"
stamps? The tradition in the Post once
Department and among philatelists is that
every such adhesive should be OF national.
not simply local, importance and should
be issued for an occasion worthy OF the
Federal Governments active participation.

Smithsonian Seeks Trace
Of Prehistoric Migration
u. S..Canadian Group to Follow
Eskimo Trail in Far North
By Thomas r. Henry

Search for ancient human trails across
Canada's far northern islands will be con-
Quoted this summer by Dr.. Henry B. Collins,
Smithsonian Institution archeologist.
Within historic times these landslide Parry
and Sverdrup Islands lying mostly above the
18th parallel-have been uninhabited. They
are frozen, desolate wastes. almost completely
inaccessible before the days of Arctic air trans.
port.
Yet there Is strong indication that they were
traversed by the Eskimo race, most mysterious
Of human beings 80 far rs their origins are
concerned on its long migration from Hudson
Bay to Greenland. For more than q century
explorers, especially the various search parties
sent out to look for Sir John Franklin before
the middle Of the last century. have reported
numerous old village sites with ruins OF crude
stone houses which had rafters of whalebones.
Some Developments Extensive.
Several Of these sites apparently are quite
extensive. Some have been reported on Corn
wallis Island where large Canadian Omitted
States meteorological station has just been
established. Here DR.. Collins, with his assist
ant. Colin Thacker Of the National Museum Of
Canada, will make his headquarters. The prof.
ect is a cooperative one between the Smith
sonian and the Canadian institution.
Stone houses very similar in type to those
reported from the northern islands were char
acteristic of the way OF life of prehistoric
Greenland and the Northern Canadian Eskimo.
This was the so-called Thule culture. The
present Eskimos in the Greenland-Bafnn Land
area live in snow houses and differ in many
other ways from the prehistoric people whom
they displaced or absorbed.
The Parry and Sverdrup Islands DR.. Col
lins believes, would have been q natural route
from the Hudson Bay region to Greenland.
Along it the migrants would have found an
abundant food supply-caribou, musk OK, whale
and walrus. There now are no large whales
in the area but the enormous whalebone raft
ers are evidence that they once were abundant
there.
Morse May Have Visited.
There also Is the possibility, DR.. Collins says.
that medieval Norsemen. who are known to
have made long hunting journeys west from
Greenland, may have made casual visits to
the Parry and svedrup Islands.
Eskimo migrations through the northern
islands probably were made in slow stages by
scattered groups over hundreds OF years DR..
Collins hopes to be able to determine the ap-
proximate rate Of such movements, and
whether the stone villages were set up as
permanent settlements or only rs halting
places for few years by people consciously
moving eastward and northward. He also
hopes to uncover the reasons for abandon.
ment of the villages.
Older and cruder than the stone house
culture is the so-called Dorset culture, remains
Of which have been found around Hudson Bay,
Labrador and in North Greenland. Relatively
little is known Of the way Of life Of the Dorset
people 1t is quite possible, DR.. Collins be-
neves, that the ruined villages may show
mixture of Dorset artifacts.

Actuaries and John L. Lewis

10 the Editor of The Star
I have been alerted by several persons in
reference to the report in your paper dated June
20, ascribed to Federal Judge Goldsborough,
in which he discusses actuaries and their cost
attitudes, and conveys the implication that
"they were to be bought" did not read the
report in The Star myself.
The actuarial profession Is rather small
one, with only about 1000 members. There are
three societies, one the Casualty Actuarial
Society, the other two life societies-the
Actuarial Society Of America and the Ameri-
can Institute of Actuaries The expressed
object of the second Of these is the promotion
OF actuarial science by personal intercourse.
presentation and publication of appropriate
papers, discussion and such other means as
may be found desirable" The Transactions,
the official publication Of the society, sets forth
as its objective "the substitution of facts for
Impressions" The members have developed .
very definite esprit de corps and a high sense
of professional ethics.
Financial relationships require training and
a strong sense Of responsibility. Pension pro-
grams do not involve specific financial COM
mitments. but rather wide range Of tolerance
is present Mortality rates generally have been
improving and interest rates falling for some
time both making for higher costs. In retire.
ment plans with minimum age OF retirement
and with effective age at retirement open to
the whims Of the employees and the financial
or business requirements OF the employer, 1t is
very wise, as one of the two actuaries engaged
on the project has done, to show two ilustra
tions OF potential expenditure. The third man,
although designated an actuary, has not had
the formal training for the profession, and
probably should not have been called an
actuary.
In the interests of the objective substitution
OF facts for impressions. should like to say
that actuaries will be deeply hurt by the i'm
plication OF their mental or intellectual dis
honesty. They also will be greatly disappointed
at the general ignoring Of our personal thrift
facilities which are available 10 the American
public, both. in clearly individual resources and
In mass provisions.

years, and am jealous Of the good name OF
our profession. w. RuLoN WILLIAMSON,
