Stamp June 20 portraying the poet of the Austrian Alps, Peter Ro-segger (1843-1918). Three stamps of similar design were issued by Portugal July 10 honoring the 20th anniversary of the World Health Organization. Printings amounted to nine million of the one and a half million of the and half a million of the denominations.

Great Britain is withdrawing from sale in post offices the 5d. definitive stamp Aug. i mm, There has been a lot of talk around town this week about something called the Mind Excursion Centre, a place that's'' hidden away on Vallee Street, off Jeanne Mance. It's not a club, coffee house, discotheque or even a "fun house" as advertised it's just The Mind Excursion, a freaky place to go. I don't want to tell you too much about that would spoil the fun of discovering it for yourself.

I can tell you, tough, that just when you start feeling claustraphobic and want to run through a conveniently-located fire escape, they shift the mood and everything is groovy again; that there are subtleties of difference between even the most similar rooms; that you will have more fun if you take a friend; and that you should v. pay attention to the music. Personally, got hung up on the officially refer-'' red to as Kaleidoscopic Room, but you may dig somewhere else. I don't like the comparison, but the Mind Excursion is to an acid trip what a Picasso is to reality. It was better the second time around.

You may remember the pre-historic section of Expo's British Pavilion. There are points of similarity, but the Mind Excursion is better. Next week the Mind Excursion Department Store opens filled with "psychedelic" bumper stickers, buttons and electronic albums in plain brown wrappers, (the perfect present for your, pseudo-hippy friends). They'll hate the album and "luv" the cover. You, on the other hand, will hate the cover and love the album.

Do not ignore also their Award Winning Catalogue, I've filed it next to Bubbies Book for Boxer Buddies in my collection of all-Canadian trivia. For an explanation of its historical significance contact Dick Zander, Mike Hayden, Blake Parker, or John Mjlls-Cockell, of Intersystems Inc. Finally, you can refer to their comic book for help with the album, (stereo is mandatory incidently), or vice-versa. In September, the Mind Excursion will open a club, cum underground theatre, at the same location. The electronic music at the Mind Excursion and on the albums (there are three in all) is made with a synthesizer custom-built for Inter-systems.

In the Excursion, it's recorded on 16 specially-built stereo continuous tape machines. To he honest, I don't really understand how it works but to paraphrase! "I don't know much about electronic music, but I know what I like," and I like this. Kids under 16 aren't allowed in unless with somone over 16. (It's a law.)

A fine program of philatelic and social events, including a boat trip among the islands, has been arranged. There will be a Honor of selected Court of material and a large bourse.

takes place at Rochester, N.Y. Sept. 19 to 22, with the Rochester Philatelic Association as hosts, and a program of tours to points of interest is being arranged during the three intervening days between the two conventions.

Soon there's a quick invitation to come over and hash all about the popular card game. On a recent Johnny Carson show, the latter was discussing Omar Sharif's latest movie with the famed star of "Doctor Zhivago." After a few minutes of -movie talk, Sharif said: "Enough of this. Motion pictures are just a side line with me. Let's talk about bridge." And Sharif wasn't kidding.

With him, the game of briSge is a way of life. Right now the popular movie star is in Deauville, France, practicing bridge with such international experts as Italy's Benito Garozzo and Giorgio Belladonna, France's SYS ImontokI By 1 because of the need to ensure as far as possible that all 5d. stamps are of the same color (blue) when the new letter service starts Sept. 16.

His older brother, Joe, is his manager and his younger brother, Mike, plays guitar in a group with Bob Burgess and Bill Lowell here in Montreal. 1 I once figured the odds on a Montrealer making it in Montreal at about 300-to-l.
