' PHILATELIC history is made
with the release of Panama’s
Fire Department Jubilee series
(Jubileo Cuerpo de Bomberos).
The stamps commemorate the de-
partment’s founding a half-cen-
tury ago. The issue includes six
regular postage and three airmail
values. All are printed in brilliant
colors.

First day covers clearing through
San Juan, Puerto Rico, on day
of sale of the new island com-
memorative totaled 244,054. The
San Juan postoffice sold 483,577
stamps. Philatelists spent $14,-
507.31, the Postoffice Department
reported.
* * *
Retaining the same design and
color, the Australia-to-Englaud
airmail stamp of 1934 has been
reissued in Australia on a chalky
surface, multiple watermarked
paper. The postofflce department
has announced no other stamps
will be added to the present set of
five values honoring the new Brit-
ish king and queen.

Seizure by Japan of the Chinese
postal organization in Shanghai
induces speculation that either
Japan may issue Chinese stamps
overprinted or offer new Japanese
stamps, overprinted for local use.
. . * .
Announcement from Russia re-
veals that in late January a set
of four values will be issued com-
memorating the conquest of the
North Pole by the Soviet Union.
These will be airmails. Recently
issued were four values in recog-
nition of last summer’s non-stop
flight of three Soviet airmen Via
the North Pole to the United
States.

NEXT: What famous Chinese
shrine have the Japanese recently
taken?
out just what this “New Year” stuff is all about, this baby kan-
garoo was snapped by a patient photographer just a few days after
birth at the Kansas City zoo. It won’t be long until Mother
“Jigger" lets the little fellow ov.t of her pouch for a few hop steps

Panay, slowly sinking. It gets lower
and lower, then turns on its star-
board keel as it sinks. Next is a shot,
a half mile away, of a burning ship,
presumably one of the Standard Oil
boats. Black clouds of oily smoke
roll from the vessel.
Wounded in Village
The scene changes suddenly again
to apparently the tiny Chinese vill-
age where the wounded first were
taken. Strewn over the ground In a
courtyard before a Chinese house
are a score or more of the injured
some unconscious, others calmly
smoking cigarets.
Here is a picture of Eric Mayell,
the cameraman who took the films.
Now Is seen a charging procession
of stretcher-bearers, carrying the
wounded through a picturesque Chi-
nese roadside to sampans on the
river which are rushing them to
medical aid.
Suddenly the spectators get ac-
tion.
Suddenly is a splash In the water
The cameraman swings to the deck
of the Panay, where machine gun-
ners aim at the airplanes, which
have not been seen in the film.
White Flashes
The cameraman ts focusing • on
the dock of the Panay, with the
Standard Oil vessels nearby. There
are sudden white flashes across the
screen, but it can not be discerned
whether they are bomb flashes. j
There is a scene of the Amer-
ican flag being raised and another
of it painted across the deck. Ac-1
tion is swift now, the scenes shift-
ing suddenly to various parts of the
ship, but the men appear calm.
There is a dim picture taken in
the dark which looks like the
wounded commander being helped
from the bridge.
Four bluejackets are carrying out
someone on a stretcher and the ac-
tion Is over.
An unidentified man in civilian
clothes is displaying one of the life
preservers from the Panay. More
scenes now of bluejackets carrying
stretchers. Some of the shots were
taken by day and some by night.
The film flashes back to a more
peaceful scene of the Panay drift-
