Hobby Fair Newsprint Probe Says Laws Broken WASHINGTON (AP) - A House of Representatives sub-committee By ERIC McVEITY Of all the hobbies concerned with collecting none is more popular than philately--the collecting of postage stamps. Visitors to the 3rd annual CRA Hobby Fair next week will se many examples of this hob- by there in the exhibits of the Osh- awa Stamp Club. Stamp collectors, or philatelists for the terms mean the same, range from nine to ninety years of age and their interests in collecting the colored squares of paper are about as varied as are the ages. Because a person may spend a fortune or as little as a few cents to acquire a stamp collection it is perhaps the most democratic hobby of all. Proof of this lies in the fact that collectors include = kings, princes, industrial tycoons, clerks, mechanics and a large percentage of public school boys and even school girls. While postage stamps as we know them have been in use a little bet- ter than a century--the 'first were issued by Great Britain 110 years ago and by Canada just a 100 years ago--it is estimated that more than 80,000 varieties have been issued by | the countries of the world in that time. Today just about every nation on this planet uses the adhesive pa- per square to inform postal authori- ties that the sender has paid for the transportation of his letter or parcel, This universal custom gives the would-be collector a wide choice in deciding what country's stamps to collect. WHY COLLECT STAMPS? But why collect stamps? Many reasons are advanced by collectors and they vary with the individual collector who may admit to one or any number of reasons for pursuing his hobby. It is generally accepted that stamp collecting provides a recreation or a diverting interest for those engaged in strenuous or uninteresting occupations. It is a means of getting out of oneself. It has therapeutic qualities and many convalescents have been helped on the road to health because they were able to forget their afflictions while absorbed in philately. Some approach stamp collecting with an artistic eye. Many stamps have been designed by 'world fa- mous artists and a collection of these stamps has been called the poor man's art gallery. Such collec- tors are one with those who de- light in the rare and beautiful. It teaches geography because it is al- most impossible to collect stamps issued by a foreign country without learning something about the coun- try's place in the world. For oth- ers old stamps provide a link with history and the newer._issues reflect the changing scene. Then there is a powerful ac- quisitive instinct that must be satis fied. Sometimes this leads people to collect about everything, includ- ing stamps. There gre even some who have thoughts of making mon- ey by investing stamps and holding them against the day when they will be rare and command a high price. This is much like playing the stock market for stamp values do fluctuate in accordance with the dictates of demand and supply. Unless a collector is marketwise this course is not commended. The healthiest attitude to stamp collect- ing is that there is more fun than money to be got out of the hobby. Having once decided to become a collector of stamps the question arises, how - should .a persoh go about it? This can be done by buy- ing the nucleus of a collection from a reputable dealer and within keep- ing of one's income. The Philatelic Section of the Post Office Depart- ment at Ottawa sells back issues of Canadian stamps at cost on a "while they last" basis. COLLECTIONS NOT COSTLY Many collections have been built up without the outlay of any mon- ey. These have been started by the gift of a number of stamps. The collection is enlarged and main- tained by stamps gleaned from the daily mail. The ancient and hon- ourable art of swapping is good report of an investigation of the newsprint industry Monday said there is evidence to indicate some Americans have used the Canadian border as an immunity cloak in violating anti - trust laws. It said it ran into difficulties, when seeking information regard- ing pricing practices from some companies that operate on both To Decorate Graves at Utica On June 10 MANCHESTER--Mr. Curry of | sides of the border.'

LEWIS 'Correspondent Claremont -- A very successful mixed trebles tournament was held on May 24 on the local bowling green, all the greens being occu- pied. Thus the local club has got- ten off to a very encouraging start for this season. The first prize went to a Stouff- ville rink with R. Johnson, skip, while the second prize went to Richmond Hill, Mr, Yerex being the successful skip. The prize for two wins was carried to Oshawa by George Reid, while R. Flintoff, also of Oshawa, captured the prize for one win. Thomas Hammond is the presi- dent of the local club for this year, with R. McLeod as first vice-presi- dent, second vice-president being R. Chester. R. E. Forsyth was elected secretary-treasurer. Other committees were returned the same as last year. Overseas Newsprint Demand May Be Met By New Allocation OTTAWA, (CP)-- Two negotia- tions concerning newsprint -- one deal jist completed and the other" expected to come up with an an- nouncement in a day or so--seem to spell some relief for newsprint- short overseas countries. Lord ,Layton, chairman of the British Newsprint Supply Company, announced yesterday in Montreal that an agreement has been reach- ed with Canadian newsprint mills. Agreed on was "a program of sup- ply to Great Britain during the next three years within the frame-work of Britain's long-term contracts which extend to 1958." Well-informed quarters here es- timate Britain likely will get about four or five times the 20,000 tons of newsprint she got from Canada in 1950. She may get even more in the following two years, dependent on world demand for Canadian news- print. But other overseas countries--y France, India, Italy, Turkey--also want newsprint from Canada. Their need may mean that emer- gency international allocation may be just around the corner for Cane ada's precious newsprint. Informed officials report this may develop out of a Washington con- ference of 10 countries, now study- ing means to help overseas coun- i tries face a crippling newsprint shortage. : : One of the recommendations of the International Materials Confer ence committee, informants believe, will be that a small amount of newse print, taken from "North Ameri- can supplies," be set aside to meet overseas shortages. The allocation is not expected to be more than a small part of the 171,000-ton increase expected in Canadian newsprint production this year--from 5,279,000 tons to 5,450,~ 000. Informed quarters believe the supplies can be met without any direct government control over what Canadian or American publishers' get from Canadian mills. This move, however, is not likely to be the fina] solution to a stead- ily-increasing world shortage of newsprint and other controlled ale locations may have to follow in lae ter months, For more power | switched to Toronto, were holiday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Christie.

Leaving specialty stamps to the specialists, the would-be collector will find enough to do in tracking down good clean copies of stamps.
