A stamp collectors' clambake in Rhode Island bringstogether several hundred people from a dozen or morestates. An exhibition in Honolulu sends collectors travel-ling across the continent to be among those present, whileone of the great international stamp shows staged in NewYork, London, Paris or elsewhere will have in attend-ance collectors from all parts of the earth. At such gatherings a great opera star becomes friendswith an insurance clerk; a millionaire executive consultsa news vendor; a cardinal talks stamps with an inter-ested bystander. Lasting friendships are born amongpeople whose walks of life are far removed from eachother but who have in their stamps found a kindredinterest and a common denominator. The hobby is in-deed one of the greatest democratic societies in all theworld. |
