WHITE SULPHUR, Oct. 21 Members of the Greenbrier Val-; ley Philatelic club are asking that more issues of the United stamps be made available through the White Sulphur Springs post; office, and have appointed a com-: mittee to arrange for better ser-j vice through the local office if! possible. The club has pointed' out; that considerable revenue is lost; the local office because collectors; are unable to purchase some rent stamps through it. Many of the local stamp collec-j tors and prospective collectors have been unable to secure the recent U.

A committee was appointed to discuss this matter with the local postmaster so that all new U. S. issues may be purchased through the White Sulphur branch. It was estimated by the Philatelic members that about S50Q would be added to the revenue of the focal post office in that manner.
