Blair Stamp Design
Uses SuIIy Portrait
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

The design Of the Mont
gomery Blair stamp features
a portrait of President
Lincoln's Postmaster Gen.
eral by the American artist
Thomas Sully.
The 15-cent air mail, to be
issued May 8 at Silver Spring,
Md, commentaries the Tooth
anniversary of the first In
ternational Postal Conference,
the Paris meeting Of 1853
which led eventually to the
formation of the Universal
Postal Union.
The design by Robert j.
Jones Of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing includes
a globe and symbolic chain
of letters. Mr.. Jones used as
source material a photograph
provided by the Post Office
Department.
The original Sully portrait
hangs in the home of Post
master General Blair's grand
son, DR.. Montgomery Blair of
Washington. A copy is in the
Blair House, now used as the
Presidents Guest House for
distinguished foreign visitors.
The portrait and vignette
for the stamp were engraved
by Matthew D. Fenton, the
lettering and numeral by
George A. Payne.
The stamp will be printed
on the Giori press in three
colorS, red for the back
ground, maroon for the por-
trait and blue for the globe.
The initial print order is for
40 million, one-third the
order for a scent COM
memorative. The 15-cent air
mail rate is for letters to
Europe and parts Of North
Africa.
Postmaster General Day is
expected to attend first-day
ceremonies May 3 at the
Montgomery Blair High
School in Silver Spring before
flying to Paris to participate
in a centennial observance
May Z by representatives of
the original conferees.
Although Montgomery Blair
is usually remembered as an
influential politician of the
Civil War period, he was one
OF the ablest administrators
ever to serve as Postmaster
General. He was appointed
for political reasons and
politics cost him the job.
But in his less than four
years in the Cabinet he made
OF a nearly bankrupt and
completely disorganized de-

New Products Seen

8mm precision cameras. Most
of the new ones are battery
operated with automatic or
manual exposure control,
power zoom lenses and
through-the- lens reflex view
ing. We handled the cameras
to test the smoothness of the
ICONS from wide angle to
telephoto and found that
battery operation performs
the feat with least effort and
greatest smoothness. Among
those seen were Zeiss Ikon's
Movieflex Super with f1.9
zoom lens ranging from rs
to 30mm; the Leicina 8V
with f/1.8 and a range from
8 to 48mm; the Agfa Movie
zoom with an f1.8 and 8 to
30mm. zoom range.
ZOOmex Features
Two unique features were
found in the Swiss-made Ca
rena Zoomex 8mm. movie
camera. First was the auto
matte film threading and
second was the motor handle.
1. Loading the camera con-
sisted merely of placing the
roll film behind the film
gate and into a groove.
Starting the camera auto
matically moved the film
thereafter into the take-up
reel without further fuss. 1t
was really "easy loading"
2. A round, ribbed-rubber
handle grip with a conven-
lent trigger for finger film
ing made the camera easy
to hold, point and shoot. In
addition, the handle con-
tanned a spring motor which
was wound by turning the
hand back and forth. The
action is much simpler than
the customary winding by a
lever. The advantage Of an
old-fashioned spring motor
is that it needs no replace
ment. Batteries do run down
and lose power.

face.-Mrs. M, L., Springfield,
NJ.
The apparent laZiness of ca
pable students Is usually assO-
ciated with some lack of know
how in study skiIIs. A good
solution is to have a capable
and understanding teacher talk
over with him the way In
which he approaches his
studies. Have the teacher check
over the way in which he
reads, his facility in handwrit-
ing, and the manner in which
he plans his work. O.
Once his difficulty has been
located and plans for Overc0m-
ing them have been set mp, IL
may take kind but firm in
sistence on your part to make
him do the necessary practice
and exert the necessary effort
to get started in a new study
pattern. Once the break is
made he will carry on by him

Dear DR.. Mason:
I am IA years old and have
problems with my school work.
! lost two months of school be-
cause of illness. I am failing
in history and arithmetic.
c., Lake Charles, La.
Two months Is a lot Of school
to miss. Many things are COW
cred in this time. II is possible
that a very bright student who
was ahead in his class before
he became iii would be able to
return to school and make up
the work he had missed. But
since you are now failing in
two subjects 1t is evident that
you were not ahead Of your
class when you became iii.
My advice is that you re-
peat the work and this win give
you a chance to earn high
grades and do 1t at a very high
level. You even can get ahead
SO If you become iii again,
you won't fall so far behind.

Dear DR.. Mason:

/ NeSN - @N1-9CAAs
We feel that our 17-year-old
daughter ought to be treated
lovingly, be encouraged to con-
tinue her education toward
self-sufficiency and have ar
interest in life.
Now she is finishing high
school, having attained a GER
tificate Of attendance in q reg
ular class but without a d.
ploma. Because of her low
I. c., a little below average,
and the fact that she reads at
sixth-grade level, we have been
unable to find a college that
will accept her.
We have inquired into train
ing as a dental assistant and
library assistant to no avail.
Our daughter is not physically
handicapped and is socially
pleasant. Is there no place for
children such as this one? -
Mrs. r. B., Wilmington, Del.
Considering the difficulty
young daughter had with high
school work and her ability to
read, she undoubtedly would
not be able to carry college
work successfully. From your
description, i am sure there are
things she could do well and
happily but these may not be
of a college or a semi-prOfes-
siOnal level.
A talk with a counselor in
the office of employment might
uncover possibilities well within
her range of ability. 1 would
suggest training on a job rather
than additional formal school
ing.

Is there any hope for a lazy
student? My 12-year-old has
