An Educator's Thanks
editor:
The article on educational tv [Education, Nov. 11] is to be complimented for its completeness and it's fairness. Through an article such as this the commercial side of our industry may get a better understanding of what and how much is being put into this effort.

Two Hearts With Same Thought
editor:
That was real saturation technique in Broadcasting, Nov. 4, running on consecutive pages [18-20] two station ads featuring a picture of intertwined hearts carved on a tree trunk. Our KBIG mermaid, who personally did the carving for our ad, took the Fifth Amendment when asked if she had ever seen the art work or roughs on the strikingly similar ad of WXIX (TV) Milwaukee. Knowing that she has been inspired in the past by another Milwaukee product, we have our suspicions.

I read with great interest "Radio-Tv's Progress Chronicled in Stamps of Other Nations" [International, Nov. 18]. . . . Last year I published Radio Philatelia which describes not only these but many more stamps, a booklet which was very much appreciated by many broadcasters. Since this book was published, a great number of stamps with radio and tv motifs have been issued and in just the last four weeks Germany and Czechoslovakia put out some interesting stamps.
The only country that has ignored radio and tv completely is the U. S., although the broadcasting industry is one of the most important ones as compared to other industries which have already been honored by a postage stamp.

editor:
I was delighted to read the article on stamps featuring radio and television. For quite a number of years I have been collecting philatelic items pertaining to the field of telecommunications. My collection now contains over 2,000 items portraying the history of radio, television, telephone and telegraph.
Because of my personal interest, I have long considered urging Broadcasting to spearhead a move to have the American broadcasting industry honored on one or more postage stamps. Stamps have been issued honoring the steel, trucking and
