In our last article on the ABC's
of stamp collecting we spoke about
the stamp hinge, the most widely
used device for mounting stamps.
In purchasing these care must be
exercised to obtain the best--not
necessarily the most expensive.
A good hinge is a peelable hinge
that can be easily x'cmoved from
the stamp without injuring the
stmnp or the album page. There
are many good brands on the
market. Your columnist always
looks fox' Dennison's. If you are
using a brand that you know by
experience to be peelable, stick to
it.
If you do get hold of a new
brand, test the hinge before using
it ,on good stamps. Mount a
worthless stamp and allow suf-
ficient time to dry before at-
tempting to remove the hinge. No
hinge is peelable before dry, If
the hinge iS not peelable, throw
away the packageyou'll be time
and money ahead.
OTItER STAMP mounting de-
vices are available: cellulose ace-
tate strips into which you slip
your stamps and cut off the de-
sired length, cellulose acetate
pockets with black backing paper,
etc. These ape, of course, more
expensive than hinges and, like
the izinge, have their disadvant-

ages an well as advantages.
It you have your album, tongs,
stamps and hinges you are now
ready to start organizing your
collection. Accumulations of loose
stamps are best haffdld by first
sorting the stamps.
We usually sort our stamps into
three piles (1) unused stamps,
12) used stamps with glue or pa-
per still on them, (3) e.lcan used
stamps.
TilE UNUSED stamps may be
moun(ed at once or placed ill an
envelope for safe keeping until
all the stamps are prepared for
mounting.
The clean used stamps should
also be placed in an envelope fox'
the time being. But the used
stamps with glue or paper still
on their backs require a little more
work before they are ready for
mounting.
Gum and paper are easily re-
moved from most stamps by the
very simple process of soaking
the stamps for a few minutes in
cold or hfl¢ewarm water. Occas-
ionally you will find stamps from
which the paper Will not come
free no matter how long you soak
themAustrta is one of the coun-
tries we suspect of using rabbeT
cement on stamps.
WE'RE STIILL looking for a
method to remove the paper from
such stamps. A few stamps fro m
the Dutch Indies cannot be soaked
in water without injuring the
stamps, but wc never have enough
of those to Worry about.
Frequently we also find stamps
that have an Obstinate gum slick
on the back. A recommended

Last Tuesday was a bit off .col-
or for the Junior High School.
There were dark greens worn with
royal blues, fushias with reds,
and stripes and prints worn to-
gether. In fact anything that
didn't go together was worn. Even
the teachers had on gaudy, un-
thinkable colors and the girls had
on no lipstick. Even the boys
seem to be good sports. Lyndy

which were simply beautiful. The
top was dark purple and the bot-
tom lighf purple with red Cuff
sleeves and purple and red flow-
ers 0n it. The occasion was "Clash
Day," just to add a bit of color
to the school.

PINATAS
By Bill M.
In Mexico, they celebrate Christ-
mas with Pinatas. Pinatas are
big paper figures with a thin clay
bowl in the center, The bowl has
candy, peanuts and other goodies.
S6metimes balloons, whistles or
nuts are m the jar.
They are all different figtres,
shapes and sizes. They, have fish
boats, silver moons and other ob-
jects. Children try to break the
jar to get the candy or what have
you, The children arc blind-folded
and each has to stick in his or her
hand,
They have a pulley and a rope
that is tied to the object. A man
at the other end of the rope jerks
it up and down to keep the child
from hitting it. When a jar is
btoken, the children scramble for
the candy and other goodies el'
tOys.
