Please, Not Gummy
Tummy DownI
. Every time I lick a federal
postage stamp ^purchased at a
federal post office wickeit from
a .federal postal, clerk X wonder
that the*,federal department of
health' doesn’t descend on the
federal’ postmaster' and strip
him cf his fedeiiiad mail bag. ..
■ Heaven knows the federal
government' has time to inves
tigate all the smutty, sordid
Skeletons in the closets of each
• and’ every House of Commons
, member who might pose a
threat of some kind or another
. to the party’s future; peek into
the recesses of every taxipayers'
. pocketbook .to ferret out every
” fast' penny of his income the
government can claim; dig to
' embarrassing lengths into a
person's, private life to deter-,
mine whether or not he or she
is’deserving of financial assis
tance a year or two/ahead of
pension age. „ . -- ‘ \
One would think that ’with
all these government inspectors
about the country, someone im
• fluential would have ’noticed
that’postage stamps' are always
sl'id—gummy side down—-across
a .public - counter which, has
been fingered by everyone from
sticky Mary Qhocolateface to
smelly Charlie Garbagecan.
I am not suggesting that peo-.
pie Who haven’t washed .their
hands in the last five minutes
should keep their paws pocket
ed until they leave the postal,
premises. It would be imprac
tical to expect the garage me
chanic to scrub his fingernails
before picking up the carbur
etor bolts which have arrived
in the .mail at the last minute.
It does seem to me that With
all the modem advances in the
Shirley Keller
Maybe Mr. Cot? and his stamp
designers .cpwld cqme up with
a. stamp, wbioh adheres to an
envelope without being wetted;
or a land of cafeteria-style
stamp .bar which would cut
down on the number of persons
handling the stamps; or a dial-
o-matic stamp robot which spits'
opt just the correct stamp in a
sanitary prbteptive serii.
A simpler solufiop, of course,
would be to make it a federal
offence punishable by 20 strokes
With a stamp cancellation ham
mer for any postal employee
to slide a stamp s across any
public’ surface while the stamp
has its gummy tummy .down.

world: today, there should be
some way to' dispense postage
stamps one at a time without
picking up every kind of germ
the human Hand can- deposit.
■ Certainly, the more finicky
postal customers may get their
stamps at a. machine which
doles .out. some denominations
of stamps like cigarettes or
candy bars. Still .there are
times when one must consult
with the postal clerk arid pur--
chase stamps, individually and-
I, for one, - am not particular
about. getting my Centennial
coriimemorative issue with the
smell 'of turpentine and the
tasfe of duplicating ink.

Mr. Brown spoke, with auth
ority as he won first prize for
begonias at the 1966 Clinton
' flower show in August against
keen competition.
Mr. Brown -stressed purchas
ing top quality bulbs, whether
plain, pendula, picotee, or .bal
lerina varieties'; -also* planting
in early March maintaining a
temperature of 65 degrees with
lots of sun to prevent straggly
growth. He recommended, sheep
manure as fertilizer ands ne-
minde'd those present to plant
begonias face out and to cover
plants well.
Mr. Brojwn supplemented, his
talk with slides of hlis begonias
some with fourteen blooms to a.
plant, and. also the rose garden
at his residence on Albert
Street.

Galbraith- presented scenes of
vivid, coloring and breath-tak
ing scenery!
We remember the Tferii foun
tain of Milan, the 'beamtiful har
bours of- Athens • and Piraeus,
and cf Naples. Ancient history
came alive before us -as we visit
ed the Catacombes of Rome, the Basilicas, Romulus^' and
Remus’ statue and the .Arnphi-
.theatre.
The lavish • displays of fruit
-and vegetables in the market
stalls of Greece and Crete were
very colorful. The windmills of
Nioaros, -the Lion of Dios and
Peter the Pelican made for
diversity of slides. ’
Most exciting was th'e' Gal
braith’s expedition “• (under
police escort) to- Salonika and
the borders of Yugoslavia to
view the famous: allied cemetery
there, where many of Mr. Gal
braith Sr.’s comrades. Of the
First World War lay buried. Tt;
was a special pilgrimage for
him. ' '

the speakers for .their splendid
entertainment and reminisced re
his own sad memories .of S'al-
onika in 1915.
