No More PosteI CoIors

No more stamps in pastel
colors will be issued. At least
that is what is indicated by
reports of discussions in Post
Office Department and Bureau
of Engraving and Printing
circles in recent weeks. The
Scent Gadsden Purchase COM

for it's design but criticism of

George Washington Bicenten-
NAL commemorative of 1882 is
another example of orange
yellow which ruined a good
design. Among regular postage
issues similarly spoiled may be
mentioned the 10-cent James
Monroe of 1923, the 2-cent
BENJAMIN Franklin of 1888 and
the 9-cent William Henry Har-
rison of 1898. But perhaps the
most pathetic instance OF a
stamp irreparably damaged by
being printed in a pastel shade
is that of the scent light slate

PhiIoteIic News

The hurricane that blew
down the steeple of Old North
Church, Boston, on August 81.
has helped the chances of the
proposed stamp for Paul
Revere. Worldwide attention
for the destruction of the
ancient landmark had the
effect of refurbishing the fame
of the courier who reused "the
country folk to be up and to
arm" against the British on
the night of April 18, ITS.
People who had not thought
of the hero of Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow's still popu-
lar poem for years were stirred
to a new appreciation of him
by the wrecking of the tower
in which his lanterns were
hung on the eve of the battles
of Lexington and Concord.
Even the complaints of a few
latter-day critics of Revere
and Longfellow added to the
general reaction of patriotic
fervor. The steeple is being
rebuilt and the projected
stamp. designed to pay tardy
philatelic honor to the courier
leader of the Sons of Liberty, is
being given serious consider
alton by Post Office Depart
ment officers.
Henry, Rodney, Adams, Hale
Similar study is being &C
corded to stamps intended to
acknowledge the Nations debt
to Patrick Henry of Virginia,
Caesar Rodney of Delaware
and Samuel Osgood and Abb
gail Adams of Massachusetts,
all of whom played impor-
tant parts in the American
Revolution. The merits of Ma
than Hale. the patriot spy
hanged by the British Septem-
ber %, 1776, likewise are
being reviewed. He was the
subject of a half-cent stamp
issued in 1925, but more ade-
quate recognition of him now
is being urged by Representa-
tive Thomas j. Dodd of Con-
necticut and others who have
petitioned Postmaster General
Arthur E. Summerf1eld to au-
thorize a Nathan Hale COM
memorative to be released at
Torrington, Conn, June 6,
1855, the 200th anniversary of
his birth.
The projected Patrick Henry
stamp probably would go on
f1rst-day sale at Richmond,
Va, the scene of his immortal
speech of March 20, IT'S, and
be inscribed: Give me liberty,
or give me death!", while the
Caesar Rodney stamp would be
placed in circulation initially
at Dover and New Castle, Del,
and bear the inscription,
"Sense and fire" from John
Adams description of him.
When the Paul Revere COM
memorative is released, his
celebrated ride would be re-
peated by a modern patriot,
following his route, Charles
town to Lexington, and wear
ing a costume such as he wore.
A like dramatization would be
arranged in tribute to Caesar
Rodney, his "stand in" riding
from Dover to Philadelphia as
he rode to cast his deciding
vote for independence in July,
1776.

If we allow the film to become

the screening.
But there is more to it than
just following these basic rules
for handling the camera. There
is the matter of variety of
camera position both from the
standpoint of angle and that
of viewpoint.
Try for Vorious Angles
To break up the monotony
of the average amateur home

era constantly throughout the
film. Shoot from high and low
angles as we'll as straight-away
and keep the camera moving

to the subject. Closeup scenes
