A special Sanctuary of Individuality," it is one of the few freedoms left in this regimental world where there are no hard and fast rules to follow. You may collect anything in the Phil atelic world that interests you and gives you pleasure. There are no two collectors that will collect exactly the same way, although both may be collect ing the same items. So no mat ter what you collect or how you collect, your collection can be just as interesting, neat and beautiful as any other collector's. Geology and biology have always interested me greatly, and recently I received the first copy of the Geo-Philatel- ist. The editor is our own club president, Elmer J. Binker, Jr. I wish all club members would gel a copy from Elmer, only 25c and every page a thrill and delight. On page 2 Is mention of the geological expedition to Puerto Rico last January. These are nice covers. I ob tained mine at that time direct from Puerto Rico. I have them with a red cachet and a black cachet. Right now cover collectors can obtain cachet covers from the Los Angeles Geoegraphic- al Society expedi t i o n to the Galapagos Islands. These islands have always interest ed me. I have the only stamps they ever issued, my nephew sent them to me. He was in these islands at one time for almost two years. There were not very many of these stamps issued, although you can still obtain them. They are only for use in The Galapogos Is lands. Canada and the U. S. plan a joint issue of a friendship stamp sometime in 19H4. The 5 cent West Virginia stamp is colorful, also the last issues of the United Nations stamps.

Attend our stamp club meetings, all are welcome at the Girls Commu nity club, the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. An interesting collection of covers that commemorate the only spot in the United Slates where four slates meet can be had with little work. Of course the joy I derive from my cover collection is the personal work in securing each cover. Nearly all stamp collectors are interested in some kind of covers. All our members have such collect ions. Attend our stamp show SOPEX '63 at the Girl Com munity club Sept. 21-22 and view these beautiful collect ions from every corner of the world.
