Robertson, this morning in con- , nection with the health stamp campaign. (He intimated that the drive would be intensified later in the campaign. It was learned from another quarter that it was dobutful if the camp , in Gisborne would be opened this year, but a decision would not be made until next week. Increased postage rales for war purposes have necessitated a slight change in the appearance of the original stamps. The design in red, originally intended to be sold for ’ 2d., is now a 3d. stamp with the original ‘‘ld. for postage” overprinted to show that the postage value is twopence, the "Id. for health” portion being unchanged. Similar changes have been made in the green stamp, which is now sold for a total pri.be of lid.
