In July we will have an 8 cent airmail stamp that glows. This will help the sorting ma chine to send sn airmail en velope into a special channel for airmail only. I guess none of our 34,667 U. S. poslofficcs will have these stamps sale, these stamps will known as "tagged ". Of course all collectors hope there will be a first day of issue. July 24 will give us an 8 cent airmail stamp honoring Amelia Earhart on the 65th anniversary of her birth. First day of issue will be at Atchi son, Kans., her birthplace. Is the time of day really necessary in a postmark on our letters? Our postal depart ment is wondering about this. Many postoffices have discon tinued this old tradition and no one has even noticed. I have a few letters as long ago as 1960 with the time of day missing. Changing the time slugs in cancelling ma chines takes much time and this helps to slow up the movement of mail. In June we will have our Freedom from Hunger stamp. To date we have sent $17 billion in surplus foods to hungry people all over the wuuu ainte luot.
