BRITISHPTLOT'S
E
W. Wilkinson Boyd, a British
f.Ier stationed in Italy, recently
wrote a letter to the Jregontan.
asking for information regard
ing a cousin, Amos L. Wilkinson,
believed to be living in Port
land, or elsewhere in Oregon.
The flier asked the cousin he
had not heard from, for several
years to write him at Siracusa,
Italy.
The Portland paper published
the appeal last Tuesday. That
evening John J. Wilkinson of
Medfrrd read it and recalled he
knew an Amos L. Wilkinson,
carpenter here for the past 15
years. He contacted Amos L.
Wilkinson, who said he had a
cousin named Boyd and had not
heard of him for several years.
He was shown the Oregonian
story and will write to his kin
at the published address.
The British airman wrote the
letter on stationery on the "Fed
erazione Nazionale Fascists Delle
Mutue Di Malattia Per I Lavora
tori Agricola," probably some
alphabetical farmer organization
of the Fascists.

Complete Collection
Of Christmas Seals
Shown At Postoffice
Mrs. R. O. Beach, one of the
Rogue River valley's most ardent
stamp collectors, who has fol
lowed the hobby since she was
in the fifth grade at grammar
school, ha a complete collection
of American Christmas seals,
now on display at the postoffice.
The cheery little seals, which
have brought better health to
Americans since 1907, are to be
soon in the glass case near the
office of Postmaster Frank Do
Souza, Mrs. Bruce Bauer, coun
ty seal sale chairman, announced
yesterday.
Mrs. Beach's collection was
not complete until recent years
because of her inability to get
four rare stamps, those issued in
1907, 1911, 1910 and 1914 by the
National Tuberculosis associa
tion. While visiting in Los An
geles, she contacted a stamp col
lector, who sold her the four.
She finds this year's stamp par
ticularly interesting because It
has been adopted by several oth
er countries of the world.
