^Y'O .1 RfT HCNt CENTi ;'!p!. Carbonear24 Jan 43

This block of four was used a full eleven months earlier than thedate listed by Scott. The Scott catalogues Standard andCanadian specialied, list the year of issue as 1944• The basisfor this listing is unknown, but George Sloane in his column inthe January 8, 1944 edition of STAMPS listed it as alreadyexisting. John Ayshford in his "The Last Stamps of Newfoundland"listed the first printing by Waterlow as occuring in July 1942;therefore it is possible that even earlier dates than this onecan be found. Your editor would like to hear from any memberwith an even earlier date.

B.N.A.P.S. PRESIDENT

In case some of you have not heard, Lew Ludlow, Society Presidentand study group member , suffered a very serious stroke on April1st. While we have had reports on Lew's condition from time totime, it sounds like a long uphill battle to recovery. Our bestwishes go out to Lew, his wife, Mac, and the family.
