The Collectors Corner There is no better way of learning history and geography than through stamp and cover collecting. And the world-wide friendships it gives a person are wonderful. This hobby will give you a miniature art gallery, and will develop powers of observa tion, and this makes the life of any person more meaningful. It would be interesting to know if we have any "Europe" stamp collectors in the valley. This Is such an interesting philatelic study. Anyone inter ested in these stamps or covers should become affiliated with the Europa Study Unit of ATA The information these bulletins given a person is priceless and it only costs SI a year. There are a very small num ber of collectors that have been able to obtain the Tonga gold coin round shaped stamps. We have heard that many dealers will not handle these beautiful, unusual stamps because they will be too hard to get tor col lectors, and the headache would PET TALK By M.I. L. ABOUT DOGS For a dog, an occasional bath Is an aid to good health and cleanliness, but it can be over done. Even in hot and sticky weather bathing a dog more of ten than once a month may dry his coat and irritate his skin. If your dog is long-haired and leads a rugged out-of-doors life he will need bathing fairly often. On the other hand if your dog is a lap dog who is seldom out-of-doors and has little opportunity to become dirty, a bath every six months should suffice. If his coat gives off an odor try wiping him down with a towel moistened with scented al cohol. There are also excellent commercial preparations on the market for cleaning a dog be tween baths. Puppies require special atten tion. They should not be bathed at all until after they have had their permanent innoculations, All dogs should be kept warm until thoroughly . dry. Puppies should be confined for at least 24 hours. In washing your dog any good ecrmicidal soap is satistactory taking care to keep the soapy water out of eyes and cars. Rinse thoroughly and rub dry with rough towel. In cold weather frequent brushing Is far better than bathing. In fact, the importance of daily brushing can't be overestimated. Not on ly does it increase the thick.iess and luster of the coat: it keeps him comfortable and helps con trol shedding. A stiff brush and a wide toothed comb do the job for long coats short haired dogs can be brushed with a folded rouah cloth. If your pet has a heavy outer coat, resist all temptations to clip it. His undercoat slants in preparation for summer he.it; what is left on top is needed to shield his sensitive skin from sunburn and insect onslaught. Climate has an effect on a dog's coat. Dampness will long- tnen ana coarsen we omcr cum. The skin seems to have eonsid-1 " erable power to vary the dun sity of the protective coat of hair. This generally takes care of a dog being moved from one climate to another. However, heredity puts a limitation on this type of coat development. Thus.'lt is up to the owner to be aware of the importance of his pet's coat and to maintain a watchful eye on its condition and growth. be great. Latest report that a few dealers obtained five sets from Tonga and had a dozen collectors to buy them. These stamps have a marvelous ap peal to most collectors. I have a few reports of these stamps on covers, how beautiful they must be. Notes from two different men say they have the full collection. One letter from England says they are not for sale for love or money, even when you find someone that has a set. I am certain there will be many people remain- absolutely silent if they are owners of this beautiful set of stamps. Well, we can hope that if Tonga can issue these beautiful stamps other countries can do the same thing, and I think they will. Then the entire world of col lectors can also own gold round coin stamps. No country has the monopoly on the size, shape or color of any stamp. When the triangle stamps appeared, there was quite a rush for them. Now they are very plentiful and is sued by many countries, and I hope this will happen with the round gold stamps. There is a fascinating, authen tic story behind each stamp is sued by any country. Really this enhances the collector s enjoy ment of his stamps. Canada will issue its first Christmas stamp in 19G4. Aus tralia and New Zealand have issued Christmas stamps for many years. These are the most gorgeous and interesting stamps, and they truly carry the meaning of Christmas, some thing that is lacking in other stamps issued for that time of year. Iraq issued a beautiful souvenir sheet of Freedom From Hunger, and this sheet is printed in the English and Iraqi language. Yes, so many coun tries are printing their stamps in English and the language ot their country. This surely helps the English speaking person to know at once what country the stamp is from. That funny lit tle stamp Korea issued for Christmas had many people guessing what country it was trom.

If the airport were so develop ed, there is a good chance it could be used as an alternate field for commercial airliners, particularly during winter months on days when the Med ford airport is fogged in. At a special meeting of the city council Thursday, George Ward, chariman of the council's airport committee, reported on an inspection tour made last week by federal and state air port officials. Wednesday, Wayne Flaherty, Seattle aviation engineer repre senting the FAA, and Glen Ply mate of the Oregon board of aeronautics, visited the munici pal airport here, conferring with members of the city council and chamber of commerce airport committees. Could Br Acceptable According to Coun c i I m a n Ward, they said the present air port could be made acceptable for minimum requirements if the city owned the property and if the air strip runway were de veloped to 3,100 feet. A second recommendation for a 4,000 foot airstrip, permitting use by larger aircraft, would be more acceptable by FAA stand ards as well as improve its us ability for commercial carriers. Both proposals would involve city purchase of approximately 50 acres in an area east of Highway 66. Present in addition to coun cilmcn and committer members were a score or more of valley industrialists, property owners and aviation experts, who ex pressed concern over the need for an airport which is usable during the winter months when Medford is fogged in and planes cannot land. Each year commercial air liners report loss of time and money in flyovers.
