Hobbies Subject j Of Club Address i S D. Johnston Tells Some of the Romance of Stamp Collecting; at Rotary Luncheon S. D. Johnston was a very inter esting speaker at the luncheon ofj the Prlnc Rupert Rotary Club yes-; terday afternoon at the Commodore Cafe, his subject being "Hobbles, j with special reference to the hobby of stamp Electing, king George. ; it seems, is one of the keenest stamp collectors and he has paid enor-! mous prices for some of the rare! stamps be has .purchased. ! Mr. Johnson told romantic stories about stamps and stamp collectors, of the huge sums paid for rare varieties and for valuable collections.; In many rases the hobby had prov-: ed profitable and the collector had ' hot tftiiy reaped the -enjoyment of collecting but a good profit for his work. The true collector, however. never considered the monetary value of his work. It seems that the first postage stamp Was Issued in 1840 in England, the penny black and the t wo- I penny blue. In 1544 the first letter i carrier system was instituted and this developed gradually, monopolies for letter carrying being granted by the king to favorites. Classified collecting commenced in 1862 until today no fewer than 800 Journals were devoted to it. Old letters were often found in garrets, the stamps on which proved Very valuable. Some of the Central American countries, It seems, have special issues of stamps at Various times for the sole purpose of selling to collectors. Limited Issues are always valuable and the rarer the stamp the more It Is worth. At the close Mr Johnston was thanked by President Munro for his very interesting address.
