Scandinavian Knitwear by Alice Stamore

Both books are available at the Mount Prospect Library.

NEVER THROW AWAY USED STAMPS
(we need old expired telephone cards too)
TUBFRIM is a humanitarian organization owned by the Norwegian Health Service. Used postage stamps are collected, packaged and resold to wholesalers and philatelists world wide. The profits earned from these activities are used to provide care and aid to handicapped children.
When TUBFRIM was founded in 1928, the objective was to help finance research into tuberculosis and to aid children inflicted by the disease. As this particular disease has almost been eradicated, the objective has been modified, and today the profits provide financial aid for the Society for Health and Development of Retarded Children and Youth.
Launched more than 70 years ago, TUBFRIM has helped thousands of disabled children by selling cancelled postage stamps to collectors and dealers, and donating the profits to the Norwegian Health Association. TUBFRIM, founded by Norwegian postmaster Ditlef Frantzen, raised 1,500 NOK in its first year. Currently, over 4,000 pounds of stamps are sold for more than 500,000 NOK (more than $57,000 U.S.). Sons of Norway members have been strengthening the TUBFRIM program for more than 40 years, and currently account for more than 20% of the profits. As a result, Sons of Norway has come to the aid of countless handicapped children.

PERFECT CLIP TIPS
A little extra work on your part helps everyone. When clipping stamps, please remember to leave at least a quarter inch of paper around the edges. No damaged stamps, no stamps with extra paper on the back, no pre-stamped or metered stamps, no stamps with more than 1/4 to 1/2 inch borders.
Damaged stamps cannot be sold. Metered mail, bulk mail and non-profit mail postage are not useful. We are also happy to receive stamp collections, commemorative envelopes, first day covers and postcards. If more than 50 years old, please do not remove stamps, but send us the entire item.
A big "Thank You" to all who have been saving stamps.
