Topical collectors happy with lighthouse Stamp | by LARRY MCINNIS It's impossible for even the richest philatelist to keep a world collection anymore. Last year alone, some 7,000 new stamps were issued and the number increases each year. This has forced many collectors into specialties and thematies, also known as topicals. Canadian stamps are among the most popular in the world with collectors. Anyone reading the philatelic press in the U'S., the U.K., or as far away as Australia, cannot but notice the number of dealers' selling Canadian material, and wanting to buy. Topical collectors seek stamps on a theme, or single subject. For example, Lew Waller of Pointe Claire, Que., has put together a_prize- winning collection on waterfalls of the world. He's also written a book on the subject. Canadian stamps have been a goldmine for topicalists, with the series on ships (Scott 670-3, 700-3, 744-7, 776-9) or aircraft (Scott 843-6, 873-6, 903-6, 969-71) immediately coming to mind. Canada _ has_ just added four more stamps that will make topicalists jump with joy: a set of 32-centers marking old Canadian lighthouses. One stamp features the first lighthouse built in Nova Scotia (and Major atoms take two This past weekend the Little Lake BP Major Atoms' played two exhibition games and won both of them. The first game was a 2-1 victory over Penetang's Major Atoms. For the first period and a half, Penetang carried the play to the Midland boys, but with some strong goalten- ding by Dean Scott, kept the Penetang team off the score board. Midland jumped out in front at the 6:53 mark of the first period with a goal from James Kranz assited by Adam Bougeious. The second period was scoreless but in the third period Penetang tied the game up by a goal from Adrian Maurko, but with 9 minutes left in the game Upsets aplenty The Midland Recreation Hockey League season _ got underway Monday night . at Centennial arena and if the first, games are any indication of how w The Midland Recreation Hockey League season got underway Monday night at Centennial arena and if the first games are B-ball refs.

It was built between 1731 and 1734 to mark the entrance to Louisbourg, the giant French fortress on Cape Breton Island, near present-day Sydney. The lighthouse was severely damaged during a 1758 bom- bardment by the British. The fortress fell, and the following year British forces went on to capture Quebec City and bring an end to French rule in Canada, goals from Ryan Deschambault and Adam Deacon gave the Midland team the win. The coaching staff at this time would like to thank all players that tried out for the team and didn't make it. Hope to see you back next year.

Another stamp shows the lighthouse at Ile Verte (Green Island) on the St. Lawrence River at the mouth of the mightly Saguenay River. It was built in 1809 and stands today. Canada's Great Lakes waterway system was honored with the June 26 stamp marking the 25th anniversary of the 1959 opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway (Scott 1015). It was honored the same day with a U.S. stamp. The system is further honored with a stamp in the lighthouse set. It shows the lighthouse at Gibraltar Point on Toronto Island. It's the oldest existing lighthouse' in the system, built in 1808. It stands today, tained as a historic site by the City of Toronto. The fourth stamp shows Fisgard lighthouse at the en- trance to Esquimalt Harbour, just outside Victoria on Vancouver Island. The lighthouse was built - of brick - between 1858 and 1860. Not only is it still standing, it's still in use. It's preserved as a historic site by Parks Canada. Esquimalt, in case a few of you didn't know, is the site of Canada's major naval base on the West Coast and is home for the Pacific fleet. The lighthouse stamps are from paintings done by Dennis Noble of Toronto. He showed the lighthouses as they might have looked when built. Project art director was Ken Rodmell, also of Toronto. He provided the type design. Ashton-Potter of 'Danny Woods formerly Olympia Sports eSkate Sharpening eRepairing & Reblading Skates Why buy new skates? When new blades are the answer!

Aircraft have been featured on a large number of Canadian stamps; those I have mentioned here are part of special tran- sportation series issued over a period of four years. A 12-center issued Sept. 16, 1977 (Scott 739) is an example of a stamp that could be used in several topical collections. It shows Sir Sandford Fleming in the foreground, a bridge across a river with a train on it background. The stamp could be in a collection with a topic of bridges, also trains. Fleming mapped the route for the in- tercolonial railway, so it could also be in car- tography, and perhaps others. Fleming designed Canada's first stamp, the famous 1851 three- penny beaver. So No. 739 could well be in a collection of stamps on stamps. LETTERS Letters are invited. Please send enquiries to the writer at P.O. Box 40, Beauharnois, Que., J6N 3C1.
