NUMISMATIC NOTES
Fiji Islands

The Fiji Islands were dis
covered by the Dutch explorer
Abel Janszoon Tasman in
1643 and visited by Capt.
James Cook a century and
a half later, but they were
long known as "Bligh's Is
lands" because 1t. William
Bligh first saw most of them
during his long voyage in a
small launch after the mutiny
on the Bounty.
The Micronesian inhabit-
ants were cannibals whose
taste for human flesh some
times caused difficulties with
the nations whose ships
sailed the South Pacific.
King Thakombau offered his
domain in turn to Britain, the
United States and Germany
and received polite refuSals
in each case. He finally
succeeded in ceding the is
lands to Britain in 1874.
British and Australian
coinage circulated in Fiji
until 1884 when the first
Fijian coins were introduced.
This George VI issue con-
sisted of five coins, a half
penny and penny of copper
nickel, holed in the center,
and a sixpence, shilling and
florin Of silver.

colonies which issued a coin

His "Breezing Up," a 38

brief reign. This was a penny
with his name but no portrait.
During World War II
thousands of Allied troops
were stationed in Fiji and
there was a greatly increased
demand for coins. This was
met by having a large supply
coined at the San Francisco
Mint in 1912 and 1943.
The coin illustrated is a
1852 halfpenny. The other

was selected as the best first
by the artists themselves,
then by Norman Todhunter
and David Lidman of the
Stamp Advisory Committee,
and finally by Postmaster
General Day.
The stamp will be printed
in yellow, brown and black
on the Giori press in an order
of l20 million. Because of
registration problems it will
require two passes through
the press, first for the yel-
low background and then for
the brown of the portrait
and buildings and black of
the frame.
This means that two plates
will be used instead Of one,
and there will be two plate
numbers on each post office
sheet of so. as was the case
with the Nursing stamp of
last December. With four
yellow and four brown plates
assigned, there is theoret-
ical possibility of 16 differ
ent number combinations,
though the actual total prob
ably will be considerably less.
To avoid complaints Of the
kind received from collectors
when only five of the Nursing
stamp combinations were
available at the Philatelic
Sales Agency and at least
two Of the remaining seven
were extremely scarce, the
Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing has been asked by
the Post office Department
to equahze Hammarskjold
number combinations as far
as possible and to avoid any
scarce combinations. Plates
will be put on the presses
in pairs instead of one at a
time and the inspection pro-
cedure will be frightened
avoid or eliminate unplanned
combinations.
The stamp was modelled by
Victor s. McCloskey jr. and
engraved by Charles A.
Brooks, for the portrait,
vignette and frame, and
Kenneth c. Wiram for the
lettering and numerals. Mr..
Brooks work on the portrait
is in an unusual etching
technique Of engraving which
reproduces the scratch board
effect of Mr.. Sanborn's orig
inal art work.
Addressed envelopes for
first day cancellation, with
remittance for the cost of the
stamps, may be sent to the

THE BLACK HONDURAS.

THE BLACK HONDURAS.
By Irving I. Green. tCol-
lectors Club, % East Thir-
ty-fifth street, New York
Is, N. Y; 81
The story Of the BLACK
Honduras" the worlds rarest
air mail stamp, is told by
Mr.. Green as fully as the
laws of libel permit.
The BLACK Honduras" is
Scott's C-l2, @ 25c black sur
charge on a l0c dark blue
stamp. one Of a small batch
overprinted by an air line
promoter with the permis-
sion of the Honduran gov
ernment for use on q pioneer
line operated briefly in 1925
from the coast to the noun
tain capital Of Tegucigalpa.
AS Mr.. Green reconstructs
the story, there were orig
inally four stamps in a
pasteup strip used by the
printer to test his 25c set
ting. At least three of them
reached collectors through
the promoter.
One came into the possess
sion Of John N. Luff, pub
Usher of the Scott catalogue,
under very questionable cir
cumStances. and was later
put on a fraudulent cover to
justify a catalogue listing by
Mr.. Luff's Succession, Hugh
M. Clark. Still later 1t was
removed, cleaned, regummed
and sold to an unidentified
collector.
Another pair which a diff
ferent Honduran owner had
some difficulty in getting
back from Mr.. Luff was
stolen in 1927. There has
been no word Of the stamps
since.
The fourth copy, acquired
by H. A. Robinette, a Wash
ington dealer in 1880 from
an unidentified owner who
claimed he had bought 1t at
a Honduran post office, has
a reasonably we'll docu-
mented career since that
time. 1t brought $24,500, a
record American stamp price,
when 1t was last sold at auc-
ton in 1861, which should
make 1t the worlds most val
liable piece Of printers waste.
It's a fascinating story,
and you can have a lot of
fun putting Mr.. Green's clues
together to identify his un-
named villains. B. F.

Paekaging Standards
The bill would establish
three packaging standards for
all consumer commodities, to
be enforced by the Food and
Drug Administration and the
Federal Trade Commission.
These are:
1. The net weight would have
to be displayed on the front
panel Of a package in q con-
spicuous manner, without any
adjectives. Senator
Hart said this would eliminate
such absurdities as the giant
half-quart.'"
2. Packages could contain no
Illustrations that would deceive
the consumer about the con-
tent. AS an example, Senator
Hart said that chocolate chips
should be as evident in. the
cookies as they are in the
package illustration"
8. Manufacturers would be
prohibited from printing
"cents-off" deals, Economy
size" designations and other
information on packages i'm
plying a price advantage.
The Trade Commission would
be given authority to draw up
and enforce other regulations
to be applied on a productivity

This bill is designed to re-

consumer must run whenever
he passes down a supermarket

Such practices operate as a

Save Housewives Money
The measure is the outgrowth
OF extensive hearings conducted

Of fractional weights and meas

Now is the time for all
good men and women to
come to the aid Of their 1862
summer photography. It's a
time to, edit, eliminate and
put into viewing order the
accumulation Of pictures
piled up through the busy
shooting season which Just
ended.
1t is also a time to tidy up
the darkroom for fall and
winter evenings of work
ahead. Here photography
can attain its fullest measure
Of meaning and satisfaction
through personal attention
to negatives and enlarge
mentS.
To bring primary order out
Of picture chaos, snapshoot-
ers should set aside a picture
area all their own. 1t could
be a filing cabinet-that
would be ideal-or 1t might
be a drawer, shelf, cardboard
or home-built box. At any
rate, it's a specific place
where your picture can safely
be put and speedily be found.
Use Envelopes
The next suggestion is to
get a batch of filing enve-
lopes or any type of uniform
envelopes that will hold neg
atiyes and prints. Each en-
velope. identified on its up
per edge with subject matter
and date, could hold a re-
lated group Of pictures. Other
pertinent information could
be written elsewhere on the
envelope. BY rifling through
a stack Of envelopes, any
subject desired could be
picked out when needed.
Some photographers prefer
to file their negatives sepa-
rately. Special negative files
are sold by camera stores but
inexpensive manila business
envelopes could also be used.
Here again, a uniform system
of negative containers is far
better than a motley assort-
ment. Negatives. too, should
be separated into related
groups for filing together and
each envelope identified and
dated on the upper edge for
quick reference. The negative
containers should be put to-
gether in a box or place of its
own.
Evening star., 1962-09-23
Complete Set

A complete box might hold
a single subject or event such
as: Vacation. 1852" Seat
tie Worlds Fair" or Susan
at Camp, 1862" Each subject
would have its individual en-
Velopes containing groups of
pictures or negatives that
deal with a single topic like
travelling. motel stops, eating,
sightseeing, landmarks, etc.
One Of the hardest things
for a beginner to do-the
hardest thing is to get started
is to discard his duds in
filing. If a picture requires
much explanation or any
alibis as to why it isn't better,
it should be eliminated. It'll
make any photographer look
better anyway if his mistakes
are never seen.
Select Carefully
The final goal is a careful
selection Of the best pictures
