HEALTH STAMPS
SALE BEGINS TOMORROW Commencing tomorrow, October 1, the Post Office for the eleventh consecutive year will, by the sale of health stamps, help in the annual appeal for funds for the support of children’s health camps. This year’s stamps, like those of last year, are of two denominations, l£d and 3d. They represent postage values of Id and 2d, and contributions to health camps of id and Id respectively. The design used last year is being used again, the stamps depicting three happy, healthy boys playing in a field, and vigorously keeping high in the air a medicine ball inscribed “Health.” The lid stamp is printed in green, and the 3d in a light reddish-brown. The design was prepared by Mr S. Hall, of Wellington, and the printing was effectively carried out by the Note Printing Branch, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Melbourne.
