Stamp News
By Jones Waldo Fowcett

Norman Cribbens. Canadian
press staff writer in London, tells
the Montreal Star that a book OF
colored reproductions of King
George WIS finest stamps now is
being prepared for publication. 1T
will contain more than 400 pages
and show more than 100000
stamps. The plates will be in ex-
act color. There will not, however,
be any reproduction Of a single
current stamp. There are strict
laws preventing stamps in use
from being printed as exact
copies" @s
The King. according to Mr..
Cribbens, is zone of the worlds
keenest stamp collectors" and his
holdings are valued at between
$1,550,0 900 and So, 100000. when
ever the King gets a few moments
to spare, one of his favorite haunts
is the green walled stamp room at
Buckingham Palace, where the
world famous collection was start
ed by his father, King George v.
Officials say that when the King
first took it over, he was not par
ticularly interested. Then grad
ually he became a keen philatelist.
His recent illness gave him the op-
portunity to spend more time with
the $50 red and blue morocco
bound volumes which are in the
keeping of Sir John Wilson, keep
er of the Kings philatelic collec-
ton.
"All the stamps are those of the
Commonwealth"-the British Isles,
India, South Africa, Australia, New
Zealand. Canada and the Crown
Colonies. There are about 750.-
900 specimens-yet the collection
is not complete. There are gaps
which the King is eager to fill.
Stamp dealers are always on the
lookout for them. The moment
one is found, a telephone call will
be made to Sir John at Bucking-
ham Palace and the King will be
notified.
Among the rarest stamps in the
collection is the post Office pair of
Mauritius, penny orange and e
penny blue-the only perfect spec
linens in the world. Now worth
about 100000, the mounting has
underneath some Arabic numerals,
the late King George VS. private
code for the price he paid-f1.-
400"
The royal stamp collection, Mr..
Cribbens explains, "is not a state
collection. 1t is the personal prop
erty of the royal family and pay
ment for the stamps comes from
the Kings personal money"

work is financed through the sale
of Easter Seals which began

Mrs. P. A. Thompson, county

AS a part of the program to aid
Handicapped persons, the state
society will operate five summer
camps for crippled boys and girls
during the summer of 1949, Mrs.
Thompson said. These camps will
provide exercise, companionship
and outdoor fun for the children.
Though he uses a crutch, Ron

things featured at camp" society
officers pointed out. Camps and
crutches and many other facili-
ties are made possible through
the sale of Easter seals"
Many of the adults are taught
trades which they can do despite
their handicap and in that way
be either wholly or partially self
supporting through this society.
