    • •/ A ot if** M Number 3 & 4 December 1969 Volume 8 DUPLICATING WITHOUT MAKING CARBON COPIES - Hal Wasserman - One of the fascinating features about stamp collecting is that a collector may collect whatever interests him. No matter what the catalogue may include or not in­ clude there is no law that says what the collector must have in his album. It is his own possession to build and expand as he chooses. It is only when the collector wishes to exhibit for competition that certain maxims come into play; then the collector loses some of the freedom he had before. Yet exhibiting need not enjoin a collector from remaining individualistic in his approach, nor does his collection have to be a carbon copy of other similar exhibita This is especially noticeable when viewing exhibits of Olympic Games stamps. Excluding the early Greek Olympic stamps, a collector would not find it too difficult or too expensive to put together a 'complete* collection of the basic stamps. How, then, can an enthusiast put his individual touch on his own exhibit except through a different type of mounting? In my opinion, there are enough unusual items on the philatelic marketplace that a collector could add for nearly every Olympiad, some expensive but many rather nominal in price, that would add sparkle to an exhibit. All of the items mentioned below are listed in various books and guides, in­ cluding Ira Seeoacher's Handbook of Sports Stamps. However, I would like to point out some of these that seem to be overlooked in many of the exhibits.

The series will consist of 6 events Nils Marius Otterstad Marketing Director, Ski Classics [email protected] where the last one will be the Ski Classics Final, rounding up the season and hosting the season review prize ceremony.

The TV concept has been developed by IEC in Sports who in 2007 Philip Parun Jizerska Padesatka began to distribute the Swedish race, Vasaloppet, outside of Sweden. Vasaloppet has existed for more than 80 years and is steadily growing in popularity. After seeing the TV share for Vasaloppet grow domestically to 73,9% of the Swedish TV Gloria Trettel Marcialonga viewers in the morning, when the race starts, on the first Sunday in March every year. Seeing Vasaloppet become a TV Rune Bergsodden Birkebeinerrennet institution and part of the folklore in Sweden the next step in order to grow further was to internationalize the TV product outside of Sweden to potentially reach new audiences and markets.

Special thanks are owed to a number of present and past Bicycle Stamps Club members whose keen eyes caught many (hopefully all) of my mistakes and omissions in the first edition.

  • Italy and Olympism
    Italy and Olympism “I wanted Rome because there alone, back from its tour of utilitarian America, Olympism would don the splendid robe, woven with art and thought, with which I had wanted to adorn it from the outset.” Pierre de Coubertin, Mémoires Olympiques “May the Olympic Games—this is my most sincere wish—strengthen hope and faith in a higher destiny of man. May the young athletes, returning to their homes, beyond the Alps and seas, remember their Roman visit when they felt united over and above all personal ambition, all difference of language, race and opinion; and may these young people declare that peaceful co-existence is possible and necessary between nations, in the name of humanity, freedom and civilisation.” Giovanni Gronchi, President of the Italian Republic, 1960 ITALY COMITATO OLIMPICO NAZIONALE ITALIANO (CONI) 301,200 square kilometres.

Abbenhuis - The World and European Championships in speed-skating are held each year under the supervision of the ISO (International Skating Union). They were officially organized in 1892, hot in 1891 'invitation races' were held in Amsterdam for the title of World Champion. The winner was the Amer­ ican skater Donoghue, second the Dutchman Klaas Pander and third place to Underborg of Sweden. The first official World Champituiships failed to cone up with a winner because none of the con­ testants could meet the requirements of those days. The program called for three out of four races (500, 1500, 5000, 10,000 meters) to be won to qualify as a winner. These four distance races are still the official meters in the championship rules today. Since 1900 the following rules are used by the European and World Championships, (a) the races are held in 500, 1500, 5000, and 10,000 meters. The 500m. and 5000m. races are held the first day, with the 1500m. and 10,000m. races on the second day. Since 19/4-7 the rules state that only the best 16 skaters after three distance races may start in the 10,000m. race. Every race will have only two skaters together* (b) All time-results will be reduced into 500-neter-time. This can result in the fastest skater losing the race because of the method in arriving at the total number of points when converted into 500-meter-time.

    Hteg&& Number 11 & 12 July & August, 1968 Volume ^ SOLVED: THE CASE OF THE HANDSOME WALLFLOWER - Harold Wasserman - Some time ago I wrote a series of little articles for JSP, entitled "The Cases of the Dirty Dozen". These were intended to stimulate reader interest and to encourage participation by the reader in submitting material to JSP. Unfortunately, they did not elicit the response I had hoped for. However, the first case involved my favorite set of stamps, so I set out to solve it myself if I could. Although there are still a few questions without definite answers, I believe that "The Case of the Handsome Wallflower" can be labeled * closed'• Before beginning, I must give credit to those people who have supplied me with the information. First, I must thank the late Leon Montes, whose book La Timbrologie Haitienne 1881-195/4. supplied much valuable, detailed background for this issue. Next, Jan L. Montes, his son, has graciously given me permission to use this material. M. Jan Montes also supplied additional information which was not included in his father's book. Finally, M. Felix Salnave of the Postal Division of the Ministry of Finance graciously verified facts and figures. The inception of Haiti's first semi-postal stampa (the Coubertin issue of 1939-Scott Bl, CB1-2) can be traced to M. Andre' Chevallier, President of the National Olympic Committee of Haiti. M. Chevallier was a devoted promoter of sports in Haiti, and when funds were being sought for the con­ struction of a modern stadium worthy of Port-au-Prince, the capital, he submitted his plan to the authorities.
