HEALTH STAMPS
TO BE TRIANGULAR IN SHAPE THIS YEAR. WITH PORTRAITS OF PRINCESSES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Minister of Health, Mr A. H. Nordmeyer, announced today at a meeting of the Dominion Advisory Board of the New Zealand Federation of Health Camps, that the 1943 Health Stamps will be triangular—the first of that shape to be issued by the New Zealand Post Office. In this respect alone they will be novel, for even in the general world of postage stamps the triangular shape is uncommon. The Minister added that the central feature of the twopenny plus a penny denomination would be a photograph of Princess Elizabeth, and of the penny plus half-penny denomination, a photograph of Princess Margaret Rose. This is being done with the Royal assent. The first-mentioned stamp will be brown in colour and the latter green. The Minister said these attractive signs would considerably aid the cause.
