Lawrence Man Gets His Pay In Canceled Postage Stamps
You have heard of working for peanuts, but here is a man who takes his pay in canceled postage stamps.
frank Long, of Lawrence, bales the waste paper and cleans up the trash rooms at the University for the privilege of collecting the postage stamps he finds in the waste baskets.
With the stamps he collects, Mr. Long covers the figures and designs drawn on posters. During the New Deal era, he used one of the big Blue Eagles, nearly 3 by 5 feet in size, filling in the pattern with 3,300 canceled stamps.
Mr. Long's Peacock poster, 7 by 10 feet, required 13,000 stamps to fill out the design.
The latest of this hobbyist's posters is a map of the United States, measuring 19 by 33 inches. It is filled in with 836 cancelled United States stamps, with different colors being used for the various states.
Mr. Long became interested in stamp collecting in 1894 while he was teaching a district school in Reno county. A young man suggested that he save the stamps which came on the letters he received.
In 1929, when the government made the mistake of printing the names Kansas and Nebraska on 3 cent stamps, thus raising their wages.
Mr. Long saw the possibilities of gathering stamps for profit.
"There are great possibilities in stamps for one with the leisure to pursue the hobby," he says. "All you need is a copy of Scott's stamp catalog to determine the value of your stamps."
Saving Gas This Way Costs
Providence, R. I.—(UP)—No sense driving your automobile when you can save gas and do your work on foot, thought Leon Chalon, 29. New York salesman.
So he parked his car in front of his hotel for five days.
Police tagged it daily the first three days, once an hour the fourth day and towed it away the fifth day.
Chalon saved gas but the parking fee was $48.20 in fines and costs.

Johnny Long's "JUST LIKE THAT" from the Signature diskerfe.
Johnny Long (Duke University-Sigma Nu) comes up with a danceable, bright bounce. It's a Long original! If you should ask Johnny how he came to write it, he'll light up a Camel and say: "Experience! I know from experience what music suits me here
just as I learned from experience that Camels suit my 'T-Zone' to a 'T'."
Try Camels on your "T-Zone"-"T" for taste, "T" for throat. See for yourself why, with Johnny Long and millions of other smokers Camels are the "choice of experience."
