A conference Of all groups
and individuals interested in
more beautiful postage stamps
has been suggested to meet in
Washington in October, either
directly before the Washing
ton Philatelic Society Jubilee
or directly after it, when
members of the American
Philatelic Society, the Bureau
Issues Association, the Essay
Proof Society and other phila-
telic organizations will be as
sembled here.
The proposal has been put
before Postmaster General
Summerfield as one that he
personally might wish to spon-
sor. 1t also has been brought
to the notice of David E. Fin
ley, chairman of the Commis-
sion of Fine Arts.
Many Qualified Artists
Meanwhile, news of the ap-
pointment of six artists of dis
tinction to advise the depart
ment and the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing on stamp
projects has created unprece-
dented interest in stamp de-
signs. Already it is clear that
artists well qualified for such
work have been attracted to
the field of stamp art. This
naturally includes the mem
; bers of the staff of the En-
craving Division of the bu-
reau-18 skilled and expert
enced practitioners of the
techniques of steel engraving
originally developed by its in
ventor, Jacob Perkins (1766-

each week four winning pic
lures submitted by residents
Of the Washington area and
award cash prizes totaling $40.
This is a contest strictly for

Here's the way the contest

two next best snapshots will
win S5 each; and the remain
ing picture, designated as an

be published, together with the
other three winners in The
Stars Pictorial Magazine.
At the close of the local con-
test this fall The Star will
pick from among the weekly
winners the four best snap
shots, one from each category
and pay an additional $25 to
each of those contestants.
Then the four $25 award
winners will be entered in the
National Snapshot Awards to
compete with snapshots from
other cities. At this point q
group of nationally recog-
nized judges will select the
pictures that get the top cash
prizes to be paid by the East

ond prizes in each class will
