She will do some comedy

entitled Cecilia SiSson." If

embassy last week.

is said to have been offered
the diplomatic plum Of Am

from Bermuda. To send them
on their way they purchased
a new issue. Of Bermudian
sixpence stamps which they

The bluish-green stamps
were engraved with a picture
of the w. B. Perot Post Of
flee, with 1916 written under

Queen with a crown above
her head. The Bermuda
palmetto is also in the en-
craving which was made
from a painting by the ia
nous English artist, William
Harrington. He came over to
Bermuda to do the work.

some of the sheets of stamps,
the building was slightly

went out with a smudged
post office on them, but they
do know that some people

tiny imperfection have re-
ceived from SIPS to SITS per

will be given In their house at
the head of the Twenty-sec-
ond street steps on the corner
of S street. 1t will be a typical
Bermuda party, said the for
mer Stellita Stapleton. Down
there awnings are too hot be-
cause they tend to keep in the

edges out, they are suspended

feated Democratic candidate
for the 18th District State Sem
ate seat, filed a petition in Cor

ing for a recount of the ballots
in the Novem Der S general
election.
Mr.. Dodson was defeated by
Republican Robert S. Burrus
jr., by 210 votes in Lynchtburg
and Campbell County.
The petition alleges that "of
the $50 void voates cast a
difference of not more tn a n
one per centum of the total
votes cast exists between the
candidate apparently elected
and the petitioner"
In a separate statement, Mr.
Dodson challenged the election
results because of amazing dis

C confusion concerning a last
minute write-in effort by two

contrary to instructions from
