STAMP NOTES

THIS YEAR’S SCHEME

Will members who would like to join Black Penny this year in concentrating on the following countries, • please write and let him Know. These are the countries: —Australia, Straits Settlements, Canada, and Ceylon.

To help with this work, and to make up'our. exchanges for these countries, large numbers of New

Canada is another extremely interesting subject, and has unlimited scope.

Now, members, see what we can do! Above all, do your best to collect New Zealand stamps for sending abroad. Black Penny advises separate small books for this scheme. Exercise books answer very well until such time as results warrant putting the countries in order of sets in better books.

Zealand stamps will be required. Overseas exchanges are asking for the present pictorial set—l93s £et, from l£d to 3s inclusive. This is quite a good opportunity to increase our holdings, and is the surest way .to complete sets. Australian, George V issues, are becoming harder to obtain each day, and there is a great deal of interesting study in / these alone.

Wanted

Has any member a spare 3s New Zealand - ' stamp? If so let Black Penny know just what he or she would like in exchange for it.
