This was stimulated even more when my then financial adviser told me he had purchased a small flat in Malta and had filled the bookshelves with books about boating. However, visitations to that part of the world will have to wait until a suitable opportunity arises. Which brings me to the question, what do the following have in common: Count Dr. G. Messins, Valletta; E. H. Rymer, Sub-Lieut. RN, HMS "Edgar", Suez; Rev R. A. MacDonald, St. Patrick's College, Manly, Sydney; Alfred Smith, Hawaii (surely not "the" Alfred Smith)? These names and addresses appear on used newspaper wrappers of Malta.

The bulletin almost invariably accompanies every stamp issue, although on a very few occasions this was not the case and instead information leaflets were issued in its place. Besides these bulletins a list of other promotional material regarding what may be loosely termed as "philatelic" issues made available during this period through the philatelic bureau is also included. 2009-08-01T00:00:00Z
