(Do Not Write In Thi Spoce) It has always been one .of my privileges and pleasures to watch the skies especially after dark-in fact, I h ave been up at and as late as 4 o-clock just so that I mi ght see'some of the sights predicted by our daily n ews-papers a.Tld because of this I have observed many t h i ngs not seen by others. One evening I observed t h i s satelite i n t h e western sky a t about 9.40 and I watched it until it disappeared in t he north e astern sky about 15 minutes later. Then about 2 hours later I noticed the same per~ormance and a gain at about 12 - it a ppeared a few minutes later on each orbit. This occurred with some irregularity for more than a week - I c alled the attention of some of my neighbors to this. J.'his particular n i ght, the sate l i te per:formed a s us,u a l until it went over the top of t h e building , at which t i me we went out thru t:1.e :front of' the b uilding to c onti nue our observation. Instead of c onti nuin g in it' s usual path , it beg an t'.lrr..i~f; tovarc:> the sout~ a nd it continued in that direction until it was out of sight. I watched for it several days after this and then one morning I heard some radio announcer say that contact had been lost. One morning this week, I heard an announcer say that contact had been re- established -if the weather (sky) is proper, I will a gain be watching for the per~ormance. At this place we live on the 18th floor from which we can observe a vast expanse of sky and when I sit on the oatio on the street level I can watch the entire western sky for this area and also much of the sky overhead.

Maybe you've never heard ot them, but there are sucn p laces and Edward C. S challls ot 26 Cir- l.j ~. ;: e can produce post- marks to prove it. SchaUb makes a hobby ot col- 1ec:tinc post:nark.s !rom all over lhe country. Using the United States Postal Guide a~ his "bible" he marks ott ~ach l is t post office once a postmark from that station J! Added to his collection. At poit-, rnaster for the Grea t American S challis is in a particularly ad- vantageous spot tor snaring a hitherto unrecorded postmark.
