Of George VI again broke
with the stereotyped past.
While retaining the required

beautiful reproduction of the
British Coat of Arms to re-
place the wreath and crown
Of earlier years. This reverse
continued until 1859. when
the design was reduced some

the Canadian Coat Of Arms.

PHILATELIc NEWS
: Ross Stamps Bolster
New Zealand Claim
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

v William Hines, The Stars
science editor, reports this
item Of philatelic news from
McMurdo Sound in the
Antarctic:
"As you probably know, New
Zealand claims a wedge of
Antarctica from $50 degrees
west to 100 degrees east, and
from the pole to the Antarc-
tic Circle. It calls this the
Ross Dependency, because
the Ross Sea and Ross Ice
Shelf are its principle features.
As a propaganda measure in
furtherance Of its claim New
Zealand has printed Ross
Dependency stamps. which it
requires on letters leaving
Scott Base. the New Zealand
Scientific station adjacent to
McMurdo.
"The United States has
never prosecuted a claim in
Antarctica and has never
recognized the claim Of any
other country. We take the
position that the land on
which Naval Air Facility NC
Murdo is situated is inter-
national, not New Zealand.
The New Zealanders disagree,
but in a friendly way.
"The United States main
tains its own post Office,
where United States stamps
are sold. Mail from McMurdo
leaving for the States carries
7-cents postage.
r However, the post office
here sells New Zealand's Ross
Dependency stamps full
set of four for 40 cents-and
applies a cachet to the back
Of the envelope. The letters
are sent over to Scott Base to
be Cancelled. and then sent
back here to be airlifted out.
Whether this constitutes
recognition Of New Zealand
suzerainty ! don't know. But

NUMISMATTc NOTES.
conodion coins-l0

From its first mintage in
1870, Canada's 50-cent piece
was It's largest silver coin un-
til 1885, when the first dollar
was struck. In design the
coin closely follows the as
cent piece, but 1t was issued
much more ysparingly. For
the Victorian period. 1870 to
1901, the half appeared in
only IL years. plus one va
riety. Four Of the issues
came from the Heaton Mint.
While all Victorian halves
are hard to find. three in
particular are scarce: 1890H,
1894 and 1888. The first date,
1870, is relatively inexpen-
sive. because 1t is the largest
issue by far.
The reign Of Edward VII
saw a steady output Of
halves, with dies closely re-
sembling the corresponding
25-cent pieces. Only two
dates are scarce. 1904 and
1905.
The opening years Of
George VS. reign saw q con-
tinuation of the production
Of halves. the high point be-
ing reached in 1919, when
over q million were struck.
Only a half million were is
sued in 1920 and in 1921, so
few were needed for circula-
ton that the greatest part
Of the issue was remelted.
This caused a sky-rocketing
price, with thousands Of dol
lars offered for any one Of
the so known specimens.
Thereafter, no halves were
struck until 1929. It was not
until the reign Of George VI

REFORE you decide your

check to be sure that present

An easy and inexpensive
way both to analyze your
homes cloSet-rating and to
expand storage capacity is to
clean out from all closets all
items meyer worn or rarely
used.
To be effective, this means
firmly removing from hang
ers and hooks all outmoded
clothing that you know you
will never wear but that you
have kept because they are
"as good as new"
1t also means getting rid
Of that other large category

Eliminating all this dead
weight from your closet rods
is guaranteed to double

II you truly don't have

Potential unused closet space
is available in every room of
