THE STAMP CLUB

Conducted by the Stamp Man Dear Boys and Girls, In 1900 the Republic of Dominica issued a set of stamps with a map as the central ctcsign, but the people of Hayti were indignant because, in drawing the map. the Dominicans had included a large part of Hayti. These lands had been in dispute for a very i long time, and alter the issue of these stamps it took a great effort by the .leaders of each nation to prevent an outbreak of war. However, in 1935 the frontier was Anally agreed upon, and Dominica issued another set of stamps, but this time no ma- design was included Patriotic parcels are still required, so will all you boys and gills, as well as adults keep on sending : n used N.Z stamps s.o that we can cel: them and raise money to purchase these parcels? Your Friend, THE STAMP MAN Thank you for stamps. Jeon and Rose, Nelson: Gwen Mansell, Nelson; “Miriam.” Nelson. SNOWBALLS (Selected) Timothy Toddles and Benjamin Bill Went trotting to school in the snow; Tim’s coat was blue and he'd little check pants, White his cotton tail hung out below. Ben's coat was green and he wore a black tie, His pants were a wonderful red; Anyone seeing this smart little pair “What dear little boys!” would have said. This funny old gentleman trudging along, I fear he will soon get it hot; For Timothy Toddles and Benjamin Bill, Are each such an excellent shot. —Sent in by Margaret Wells, Mahana.
