WHAT'S A MOTHER FOR EXCEPT TO SUFFE R???? If child raising were te bc .summed up inl one word, its frustration. At the best of Urnes you think you're on the iliside track only te find out iou're stili in the starting gate. Did you ever wonder how you' cas trip over a. kid's shoes under the sink, in the toilet, up the stairs, behînd the TV. down the basement. - -.but neyer, neyer find themn when t's their turn te, cut the lawn? It arnazes me ne end how a child can spot a MacDonalds sign 5, miles down the rond, but neyer notice his dirty shorts still on the floor where he climbed eut of them ia week before. Perhaps there's an aniswer as te why a kid isn't hungry at supper but downs a dozen hot dogs at the local greasy spoon with ne trouble at aIl. M4.ybe there's an explana- tien for the boundless energy a child exudes while playing with his friends but interupt to ask an errand and he's pooped out. Perhaps it's too muchi to hope for, te be able to do the laundry and have aIl socks, with mates. Maybe it's naturai for mothers to spend the first few years of motherhood pat- ching up the kids, scraping themn off the pavement and fetching them eout of trees. 1 logged miles on the car runn- ing to hospitals, doctors, etc. onfly to hear in later years that I should have watched more carefully and irs my faulit they have battle scars. [ s uppose it's everyone t hat has sibling rivalry beginninig at 3 days and lasting lifelonig. And what about the stunts which they already started on their three wheeler, now h.av- ing progressed te the omiinous dirt bike. I- rememnber teaching them [o ride, hoping they wouidn't kill themnselves. They dîdn't. My sweater caught in the spokes and 1 almost mrade a wheel out of myseif. And what about the sports, summer and winter, year in- Sitamps iby Larry Mclnnis Stamp Collectors Find Fun, Profit in Errors Ideubt there is a stamp collecter alive today who dees net have a secret desire te discover a major stamp errer-, preferably one that wîll selI for enough te pay the fare te Easy Street. There are major errors that bring less than full fortunes, but comrmand a tidy return nonetheless: The famous Canadian Sea- way invert of 1959 (Scott 387a), with a catalogue value today of seme $ 17,500 in mint condition. That stamp and others like it, such as 'the even more famous U.S. airmail of 1918 with the picture of a Curtis Jenny aîrcraft inverted ( Scott C3a, which catalogues at $1 10,000) are printing errors. Errors are se in teresting, some are made especially for collectors. Many "new" countries issuing- stamprà have their printing cern- parties create errors, One stamp firm in the U.S. offers an "Inverted Water- mark of the Menth." More fun for the average collecter is seeking the error ef design. Errors in design include incorrect spellings, wreng translations, wrong sub- ject, incerrect dates or captions, and a host of errYors of commission as well as Omission. And, folks, we can take some pride in this regard: Newfouindland doesn't lead the world (Afghani- stan dees), but it's -close. Newfoundland had two errors on a single stamip in its John Guy issue of 1910. The stamip is a six- certer. The caption te the portrait reads "Lord Bacon." It should have been Sir Francis Bacon or Lord Verulam (Scott 92). The saine stamp has the word "eolonization" on it, but the "z" is reversed. The "z" errer was cor- rected subsequently (Scott 92a.) That wasn't the first Newfeundland errer, though. June 24, 1897, a long series of stamps was issued to mark the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of New- foundland. The two-center in the series (Scott 62) shows Cabot, but net the Cabot. It shows Sebastian Cabot, son of John Cabot. Newfoundland had an oops! even earlier than that. In 1865, afive-cent b rown was' issued (Scott 25) showing a seal. But the seal didn't have flippers, it had forepaws. In 1880, the correction was, made, in a five-cent blue (Scott 53) showing flippers. It is interesting that the 1865 errer, or ,inaccuracy, was repeated three years later with the issue of a five-cent black on white, palper (Scott 26). The catalogue values. are interesting tee: Scott 25, and year out. Its parents who struggle with tension on their riRside eerches: or 1Dace the fields and floors eyeing the referee. Its the onset of a cor- onary that Iasts through the next 15 years. The doctor has diagnosed my latest health problem as varicose veins of the neck. He's demanded 1 stop shoutinig at the kids and whisper ised Can you im- agine wipeigautherity? VI'msure1no one ini the wh1oie word has super Vision, super hèaring and super smel quite like a morther. And what about the teaýrs, the m-gan, man,-ty tears ithat are wiped off littie faces. Tears that wvrench your fhear-1, so often sque.ezing it a littie tighter. 0f the many ties you ease the childs pain by taking it on as your ewn. The world of childhood is universai. Dedication fromn th e heart startS ai birthi and ends at death. In between ail those years, you become a walking, talking, thînkJng, and acting bundle of nerves. $350 for fine mnint; No. 26, $165; No. 5 3, $1 30. In 1928, Newfoundland brouight out a "puiblicity" issue, one of the first to do so, but by no means the last. The one-cent green (Scott 145) issued Jan. 3 shows a miap of Newfound'- land. Check the mnap: Where it says Cape Bauld, it should saiy Cape Norman, and vice A Canadian stamip had a design error, too. It was a 17-cent airmail special de- livery issued Sept. 16, 1946 (Scott CE 3). The inscrip- t ion -inciud ed the wordA "lexprès", with a circumflex accent on the second "'e". 11t should have been a grave accent: "exprès". The correction was mnade the following year (Scott No. CE 4). Catalogue value for either is a mere $6 in fine mint conditio n. Newfoundland abounds with philatelic curiosities, and 1919 was an interestîng year, with two overprints provided by local' news- papers. On April 12, 1919, a three-cent stamp (Scott 117) was overprinted "First Tranisatlantic Air Post April 1919" for theill-fated Hawke r flight. The over- print was done by the St. John's Daily News. Fifteen copies were damaged and destroyed, 95 were used on letters, 1l were given as gifts and 76* sold to aid the Marine Disaster Funid. Cata- logue value is $20,000. On June 19, the St. John's Royal Gazette over,- prited a 15-cent scarlet stamp for the fam-ous Alcock and Brown trans- atlantic f'lighlt (Scott C2), Catalogue value is $260.
