Postage Stamp Changes
A gradual reversion to the twopenny orange-yellow Maori whare stamp of the pictorial series will be made this month as soon as the bulk of the brown penny-halfpenny stamps which have been converted into twopenny stamps by overprinting are exhausted. Towards the end of the year the brown threepenny stamp of the pictorial series, with the head of a Maori maiden on it, will have its colour changed to blue. The red penny-half-penny stamp of the King George series, which is to replace the present brown one, is not expected to be issued until late next year. This year’s health stamps v/ill be the same as last year’s, with the exception that both denominations will be overprinted with the date 1041.
