The Collectors Comer
Stamp collecting is a pleas
ure that's timeless. 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.

Christmas Island is issuing
a complete new set of stamps
in August. Their stamps have
always been beautiful. Quar

ty. Stamps and letters from far
away places can be very re
warding. Why not try this in
teresting hobby? Attend our
stamp club meetings, all are
welcome at the Girls Commu

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. They are educational
and interesting. The show is
free.
