The April 6 Carolina Char
, tcr stamp Is colorful and
pretty. It was Issued to mark
the 300th anniversary ol a
vast land grant that staggers
the imagination of . today,
1,500.000 square miles, reach
ing from Virginia to Florida
along the Atlantic coast, and
etxending West to the Pacific
ocean. Eight Lords were
given this land for helping
King Charles II of England to
regain the throne.
We have these eight Lords
to thank for much of our
basic principles of American
Freedom. The system they
established was so liberal
that many Englishmen con
sidercd it radical. These men
gave us our law, "trial by
jury," and religious freedom
was part of their system.
Edenton, N.C., was selected
as the First Day of Issue for
this attractive stamp because
it was one of the state s earn,
est settlements.
Our Freedom from Hunger
stamp will be issued June 4
Many countries arc issuing
stamps the picture of bearded
wheat. It is a nice symbol
and shows a type of food that
can be eaten by people of ail
religions, and it can raise the
nutritional standards through
out the world. The plight of
little children being hungry
Is pictured on many of the
worlds stamps. A dinner spon
sored by the Freedom from
Hunger Foundation was at
tended by ambassadors from
104 countries, all members of
the United Nations Food and
Agriculture organization. The
U.N. issued, their stamps

A GOOD NEIGHBOR
"Love me, love my dog,"
is an old idea that causes a
lot of trouble for dogs and
dog owners. And even people
who love your dog have a
right-to expect that you will
be a good neighbor and will
help your dog to be one.
Dogs, of course, are "man's
best friend," but without
training they can cause un.
happy neighborhood squab'
bles and even cause serious
damage. Many people are
afraid of dogs; many people
don t want dogs romping
through their gladioli: few
people enjoy being bitten or
having their own pets chased,
injured or even killed. More
over; dogs that are uncon
trolled and are not properly
cared for by their owners
cost taxpayers and philan
thropists more than $50,000,.
000 a year In the operation ol
animal shelters, pounds and
Incidental services.
No one is going to love you
OR your dog if you and your
dog are a public and costly
nuisance. Remember - what
ever happens, it's not the dog's
fault, it yours.
Have you obeyed the law
by buying whatever license
may be required for your
dog?
Have you a fenced yard or
are you in some other humane
way keeping your dog under
control at home?
When your dog barks ex
cessively, do you call him Into
the house and give him a
chance to calm down?
If you have a female doit
have you had her spayed, or
do you keep her confined dur
ing her mating seasons?
Don't let your dog roam,
your dog at all times,
gets human companionship in
its own home than if it It
shoved outdoors every morn
ing to wander at large. Espe
cially, keep your dog from
wandering through the coun
tryside where it can kill
wildlife, poultry or livcslock.
Keep fresh water available
to your dog at all times. Feed
a varied, balanced ration
regularly. Clip and brush
often. A healthy dog with a
glossy coat is a pride and joy.
If your dog is injured or 111.
get professional veterinary
care immediately.
Keep an identifying tag on
yuor dog at all times.
And remember, your dog
can't lie a better neighbor
than YOU are.

In the days to come we will
see U.S. stamps printed from
a new nine-color press. This
press is being built now by
the Huck company.
My letters from Yemen are
franked with overprint
stamps, "Free Yemen Fights
for God, Imam and Country."
Right now my pen friends in
this country of turmoil arc
having a hard time to get
mail sent anywhere. They
take a letter to the post
office, buy stamps, and place
them on the envelope, then
they arc told no mail is leav
ing for at least a month. My
pen friends that can afford
It travel -to another town.
Many are told the same thing,
yet a few letters have gotten
out of the country.
The United Nations im
printed stamps on the April
26 issue of the 8c airmail, the
Sc regular envelopes, and the
6c airmail and 4c regular
postcards are colorful. The
envelopes are executed in
four-color offset lithography.
A nice collection to have.
Many collectors like and
enjoy using printed album
pages, including myself, and
at last, in the Philatelic
world, we now have a friend.
Earl P. L. Apfclbaum has
criticized stamp exhibitions
for ignoring collectors who
use printed album pages. Our
stamp club will apply for the
Maurice Apfclbaum Award,
polished gold medallion,
named after the firm's foun
der, and the father of Earl
Apfclbaum. This recognition
makes many collectors very
happy. Enter yours at our
SOPEX 1963 stamp show
Sept. 21 and 22, at the Girls
Community club. Attend our
stamp club meetings the first
Thursday in each month. You
are welcome.
