behind every stamp lies a fascinating story a magic carpet to carry one to distant lands and strange scenes and with little expense stampcollecting has been a hobby for only about one hun dred years because the first ad hesive stamp the penny black of england was issued on may 6th 1810 the issuing of this stamp and its successors was promoted by sir rowland hill the english postmaster it show ed the profile of the young queen victoria with the word postage above and one pen ny belpw it is said that black was the colour of ink selected because it was much easier to print in black at that time and the ink was much cheaper many countries of the world quickly followed the lead of great britain the united states issued 5c and 10c stamps with pictures of washington and ben franklin respectively in 1847 followed by canada in 1851 the first penny black adhesive stamp of great britain was head of the sovereign was and still is the chief feature for a series of postage stamps but for higher denominations and for special issues such as coro nations jubilees etc scenes of the life and geography of the country are commonly used on april 21st 1851 three de nominations of stamps for the province of canada were an nounced they were a three penny red with a picture of a beaver for the regular rate a six penny purple pictured the head of prince consort albert for double rate and a twelve penny black with the picture of queen victoria mainly for use abroad it was marked twelve pence because the depleted ca nadian currency required fif teen pence to equal one shilling sterling these stamps were printed in sheets of one hundred and had to be cut apart because they were not perforated between the stamps it was not until 1859 eight years later that the sheets were perforated between the stamps to allow for easy tearing apart because postal rates were changed and the immediate popularity of adhesive stamps other values were soon required so in 1855 a 10 penny blue stamp with a picture of jaques cartier was issued followed in 1857 by a one halfpenny rose a six penny purple and a seven and one half penny green all showing the head of queen vic toria in 1859 canada changed its currency from pounds shillings and pence to dollars and cents this was largely to simplify the rapidly increasing transactions with the united states so the york county preschool polio

the traffic sergeant said since the first of the year the officer has kept a record of the colors of cars involved in acci dents involving rightofway at intersections during one month 57 percent of cars hit at intersections were light gray or sand in color statistics showed that black cars or ones with light colored tops were almost as often in volved by contrast only one red car was involved in an acci dent during the month other statistics showed that light green cars figured in many earlymorning crashes and light j blue cars in accidents at dusk i these colors seem to blend i into the

expected to cause extensive damage this year to lawns cemeteries and goii courses and susceptible cul tivated crops commonly the june beetle follows a threeyear cycle with heaviest damage from the larvae occurring the year following the flight yesrr the adults seek out grassy unculti vated areas to deposit their eggs which hatch into tiny larvae in the fall the small larvae go deeper in the soil where they remain over winter and in the following spring come up to within a few inches of the sur face to feed ravenously on the roots of plants in most areas of york county a very heavy flight of the adult beetles oc curred in may and june of 1956 and extensive damage from the larvae is likely to occur this year lawns are very subject to damage particularly those on lighter soils and chemical treat ment to kill the larvae is recom mended crops such as cereals potatoes strawberries and gla diolus which are susceptible to attack should not be planted on grubinfested soil and if this is not possible insecticides should be applied to the soil before the crop is planted the insecticides recommended for the control of the larvae arc aldrin chlordane dicldrin and heptachlor kull
