Rush For B.S.I. Stamps

GO great was the demand that 45 minutes after Tulagi post office open ed up for business at 8 a.m. on May 18, the whole Tulagi quota of the Solomon Islands issue of Coronation stamps, with the exception of l|d, was sold out—even although mail orders had been cut down 33 l-3rd per cent. The result was that many Islands residents, outside Tulagi, who were unable to join the queue have not and perhaps never will see the Id and 3d issues, unless they care to indent a few from Dublin, or elsewhere. As one who does his mite to balance the budget, I suggest, to keep the money in the

group, another issue.
