EIGHTH BRITISH EMPIRE AND COMMONWEALTH GAMES - John La Porta -

The Eighth British Empire and Commonwealth Games at Kingston, Jamaica, opened on Aug ust 4, 1966, and closed on August 13th. Jamaica was the smallest independent country ever to stage the games and we-nt all out to show the Commonwealth the great promotional capa bilities of the youngest country ever to host the Games. A total of 1,143 competitors from thirty-four countries were housed in the University of the West Indies buildings, which also had served as the village for the 1962 Central American and Caribbean Games. Three of the nine Games sports (boxing, cycling, and track and field) were held at the National Stadium, which was built for the independence celebrations and has a seating capacity of 33,000 of which 6,000 seats are under cover. A new Convention Hall (home of badminton and wrestling events) was constructed at a cost of 250,000 pounds especially for these Games; it Is situated opposite the National Stadium and adjacent to the swimming pool. The shooting events were held at Warelka Range, which Is behind the Stadium, and at Twichenham Park, which is twelve miles outside Kingston. Weight lifting took place at the Ward Theater in downtown Kingston with a seating capacity of one thousand. The coeduca tional school, Excelsior, was used to stage the fencing events. Postal Emissions On August 2, 1966, East Africa issued a set of four stamps commemorating the Games. This set was designed and printed by Harrison and Sons, Ltd., of London.

Summary of Events The swimming pool was the place for breaking world records at Kingston with a grand total of fourteen world records being broken and one tied In the six days of the Games. All this took place in an open-air pool with a water temperature of 86-88 degrees, some ten degrees higher than the recommendation for competitive swimming! Australia, Canada, and England came away with the lion's share of medals with New Zealand and Scotland taking the balance and permitting no other country on the victor's rostrum! Of the eighty-four medals (gold, silver, and bronze) thirty went to Australia, twenty-five to Canada, twenty-two to England, six to New Zealand, and one to Scotland. Although Australia broke most of the world marks (all nine in the men's events and two of the five by the women) It was Canada who changed the face of the competition with Elaine Tanner who won four gold medals and three silver medals and broke two world rec ords. Peter Reynolds of Australia equalled Miss Tanner's gold medal tally and got one more world record but no supporting silver or bronze medals. In the diving events England took all four gold medals from the highboard and springboard, something no other country has achieved before. The track and field events, with the exception of the marathon, were held in the evening due to the extreme heat in Jamaica and so that they would not clash with the swim ming events which were held in the Stadium pool. In track and field the first medal of any kind gained in any sport In the Games by an African woman went to Violet Odogwu of Nigeria with a third-place finish In the long jump. Kenya pulled off a hat-trick in the track distance events with Kipchoge Keino taking the one-mile in 3:55-3 and the three-miles in 12:57.4, both new Games records. Naftall Team won the six-miles in 27:14.6, also a new Games record. Badminton and shooting both made successful first appearances in the Games with the Malaysians dominating the men's badminton. When the next host, Edinburgh, settles its 1970 program, shooting will be able to offer strong claims on the retention of its place, having attracted entries from more countries than any other sport except track and field. Lawn bowling and rowing were dropped from the Kingston Games. Badminton Men's singles: (1) Tan Aik Huang (Malaysia) beat (2) Yew Cheng Hoe (Malaysia) 15-8 and 15- 8.

EDITORIAL COMMENT A word of explanation Is due those of our readers who have missed Fred Farr's "Phila telic Market Report" In our March and April issues. Fred is now writing his doctoral dis sertation at Columbia University. When one reaches this last crucial stage and has set an exacting personal schedule of a definite number of pages per day, he has little time to do even the routine philatelic writing, much less an article requiring planning and research. Please be patient. We hope that Fred will get his Ph. D. in June and be back with his column even before the.

THE CASES OF THE "DIRTY DOZEN" 9 - Harold Wasserman - Case 9: The Case of the Changed Design Each of us has a favorite stamp or set. Sometimes the reason is based on an Incident which gives a personal touch to the stamp. Sometimes it Is related to our travels or na tive land. Perhaps it recalls something we studied in our school days. My own favorite set is that of Haiti which pictures de Coubertln. However, there Is one rather recent stamp which appeals to me simply for its beauty and picturesqueness. It Is Monaco 505 which pictures the Rainier III Aquatic Stadium at night. I find it an attractive stamp, with the various shades of light and dark blue and a shimmer of green. Lights shine from the windows of the buildings and are reflected upon the waters under the adjacent piers. The stars actually seem to twinkle In the dark sky. Some people call this the "swimming stadium" stamp or the "aquatic stadium". How ever, to collectors of Monaco and to many sports philatelists, this stamp is known as the "night stadium". Incidentally, does anyone know of any other Btamp which depicts a sta dium by night? However, the point of this case is not to conduct a popularity contest. There are several points which I would like clarified. The design, as actually issued, was drawn by B. Minne and engraved by R. Camia, and is in the denomination of ten centimes. The set ting has the buildings to the left of the stadium, "Stade Nautlque Rainier III" at the top, "Monaco 1962" and the denomination at the bottom. The first day of issue was June 6, 1962. However, the stamp had originally been prepared as a 20-centimes denomination. "Stade Nautlque Rainier III" was at the bottom, "1962" was at the top, and "Monaco" was In the left panel reading down. But more amazing, the view has the stadium to the left and the buildings to the right—in other words, a view from the opposite end. The designer was the same B. Minne, but the engraver was Cottet. Color proofs were prepared in sheets of thirty in the usual format with the bottom strip being multicolored. The stamps bear the official post office oval seal normally applied to color proofs. It is unusual to find radical changes made between the color proofs as released by the post office department and the stamp as actually issued. Perhaps if someone has ac cess to the official announcements of this period, the mystery could easily be clarified. Unfortunately, there is one other "minor" discrepancy for which I can think of no valid explanation. The "dated corner" on the sheet I have and which Indicates the date of printing is June 27, 1962. All the other official markings are on the sheet: pencilled color notations, serial number, and press number. Now tell me, why would color proofs be made after the stamp had been issued? Was there to be a second stamp of a higher denomi nation? Although not a mystery of the stamp, the mystery of this later color proof es say needs to be solved.

OLYMPIANA - Helen Turner - "A New Year's Resolution" in January's "JSP" should have the full endorsement and de termination of all sports stamp collectors to make the point given their credo. As an example of what has already been let loose on gullible sports collectors and Olympic collectors in particular, let us look at the ever-dependable leader of such phila telic material, Paraguay. On April 1, 1966, the Paraguayan Postal Services issued a pre-Olympic series consist ing of eight stamps depicting pre-Hlspanlc sculpture with a sports-associated design. The series consists of five definitives and three airmail stamps. The definitive stamps will have a printing of 350,000 each, with the airmail printing of 20,000 of the two low values and 12,000 for the high value. To further entice the "must have everything" collector Paraguay also printed, imper forate and in different colors, 5,000 complete sets of these stamps. Their enthusiasm didn't stop there, so they issued 5,000 of the high value airmail stamp in small sheets numbered from 1 to 5,000. Naturally this sheet also exists Imperforate with only 4,000 copies numbered from 1 to 4,000. One would think the end had been reached, but they came up with one final burst and printed 1,000 sets consisting of the eight perforated stamps marked in blue "Muestra", meaning "specimen", which were distributed to the trade press and stamp dealers throughout the world. OLYMPIANA (Cont'd) 11 Then we have Mexico with their Olympic program. The first pre-Olymplc Issue was printed in six million copies each of the 20, 40, and 80 centavo values and two million of the 1.20 and 2 peso airmails. This Issue will be followed by three other pre-Olympic sets in 1966 and 1967, a big Olympic Issue planned to coincide with the opening of the Games In 1968, and a post Olym pic series in 1969. Here we have over a hundred million stamps put into circulation with in the framework of their propaganda campaign, a figure never before equalled by any Is sue in a Latin-American country. How do these figures stack up with "limited printings" and "long, unnecessary" is sues? Paraguay is a definite "yes". Mexico's planned Issues cannot be classed as limited although geared to the philatelic public. They are In keeping with their postal rates (foreign and domestic) and available in unlimited quantities. We would agree that the host country of the Olympic Games has to, and must, take ad vantage of every avenue of revenue to support their efforts In making the Games a finan cial success. As long as they stay within reasonable limits the philatelic public will cooperate.

NEWS OF OUR MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES Awards at San Jose. Traditional philately and contemporary collecting with emphasis on subject matter shared major honors at the recent Fllatelic Fiesta In San Jose, Califor nia. The SPI Trophy was awarded to Alexander C. Katten of San Francisco, who showed a specialized collection of stamps issued in connection with European sports events. President Barbara Williams received honorable mention for selected pages from a col lection of world ski championship Issues. Roy C. Votaw (SPI 93) won third place In topi- cals with his "Signed Pioneer Aviation Cards". Congratulations to both of you. Did anyone recruit Mr. Katten for membership in SPI?

Report from SCOSC. The Sports Collectors of Southern Californai report several in teresting meetings. On February 13th the meeting was held at Helms Hall. Bob Oesch (SPI 250) was made a lifetime member of SCOSC for his many special services to the club. Chris Norgard (SPI 9) discussed early Olympic Issues, using portions of his own collection for illustration. The February 28th meeting at the Palms Recreation Center featured a swap session. Two March meetings, again alternating between Helms Hall and the Palms Center, have intro duced an auction and another swap session. Here is a lively group which meets twice a month, alternating between Helms Hall, 8760 Venice Blvd. in Los Angeles, and the Palms Recreation Center, 2950 Overland Blvd. In the same city. If you live In the Los Angeles area and are not participating in the SCOSC programs, why not give yourself a break and start now? » * # # # Doings of our president. President Barb Williams will be at SOJEX In Atlantic City on April 14th and 15th. The exhibition is at the Traymore Hotel. Included on her agenda are a formal meeting with SPI members and a more informal opportunity to meet individual SPI members anytime during the gathering. Her exhibits of "Olympic Track and Field Stamps" and ice hockey stamps will be on display for six months this summer in the Olympic Museum at the Canadian World Fair (EXPO) in Montreal. Furthermore, she will be at the world fair in Montreal during Olympic Week in June. If you are in the vicinity during that week, be sure to look her up. * * * * * Directory correction. Benjamin T.

Who won the First Air Acrobatic World Championships in Bratislava In I960 (Czechoslo vakia 1002)? Answers: 97. Vice-President Fred Farr (SPI 2) quotes extensively from R. C. Williams Jr.'e "The Principality of Monaco: Its History and its Stamps" In answer to this question. "The Louis the Second Stadium was planned and constructed by a local architect named Joseph Flssore, (and built) in a place called *Fonteviellle'. Its green lawns provide a pleasant contrast between the blue of the sea and the reddish-brown of the Grlmaldl Rock which Juts over It. "The first stone was laid on April 28, 1938, and the dedication took place one year later, April 23, 1939, in the presence of the Sovereign Prince. "This magnificent stadium, one of the most beautiful on the Mediterranean Coast, con tains a circular track of 400 meters, both a> football and a basketball field, jumps and Javelin-throwing areas. The Interior fittings are modern, with shower rooms, locker rooms, fencing rooms, gyms, etc. It can hold 10,000 spectators."

SERVICES Current black blots. The January issue of the "American Philatelist" olted Ras al Khalma's World Soccer Cup Championship issue (four perforate and four Imperforate stamps with souvenir sheets issued in December, 1966) as a limited printing, an excessively ex tended issue, and a set with intentionally included oddities. There were no black blata assigned to sports issues in the February issue of the "American Philatelist".

Warning on scout stamps from Qatar. Over a year ago an official post office notice from Qatar Indicated that the scout issue was "sold out". Nine months later this issue appeared again, overprinted to compensate for the new currency. In view of this "deal", it is not surprising that the new values were much higher than the original value and that imperforate sets and both perforate and imperforate souvenir sheets were also overprinted!
