Dear slogan cancel collector:
Beefs and Bouquets
During the past month I have received positive
feedback as well as criticism for recent issues of
the Slogan Box. Some are saying that the Slogan
Box has too many pages, is too expensive and lacks
good illustrations. Others are saying that the hand
stamps are irrelevant to the real study of slogan
cancels and should not appear in the Slogan Box
still others are saying that the hand stamps add
variety and are a new, heretofore unexplored area.
While all are to be believed as sincere personal
preferences, how then do we reconcile these
differences in viewpoint?

course Dan Rosenblat . This is the second 1997
issue and members are requested to forward
their dues to avoid missing future Slogan Box
issues.
Further proposal
The chair proposes that we explore with BNAPS
the idea of publishing a hand book on the slogan,
commemorative and pictorial hand stamp
cancels . The chair would like your reaction to this
idea. All reactions will be published (either with
name or anonymously as preferred ). But, please
send me your reaction.
Letter of John Robertson Re: Quebec Station B
Request for articles
The Slogan Box is your (and my) newsletter. It will
contain the information that members (you and I)
want and that members (you and I) produce. This is
not magic. Articles, questions and other sendings
from members are welcomed and these will be
included in future issues. The best way to help
ensure that the information in our newsletter meets
your desires is for you to advise me about your
interests and for you to produce articles (long or
short) yourselves.
Finances and membership
Financially, the study group is sound although
membership is weak. The chair would appreciate
suggestions to increase membership. I have
received 1997 memberships from the following:
Cecil Coutts, John Robertson, Elwood Poore, Doug
Lingard, George Dresser, Steve Friedenthal and of
The Station B Universal machine Cancel from
Quebec appears to be quite scarce and I have never
seen anything written about it. I have three
examples in my collection April 28, 1917,
December 15 1917 and December 7, 1920 and I
have seen one more in the collection of another
member. Can anyone give more information and/or
come up with earlier or later dates?

A report on the Coutts Slogan Catalogue by the author.
Since publication of the Coutts Catalogue, research
by the Slogan Study Group has been ongoing. One
area our Chairman Daniel Rosenblat has carefully
looked at is the matter of de-listing some offices
which do not appear to exist.
In particular, he examined B-770, B-775, K-25, L230 and V-110, all of them naming certain offices
from which slogans have not been seen nor is there
department documentation and/or die proofs to
support their existence.
The following list of corrections/additions to the
Coutts catalogue reflects changes to the above five
as well as reports of many new offices/dates of other
slogans heretofor unreported.
Of interest too is N-187. This 1939 Newmarket
impression was produced on a Columbia machine
and reported by member Doug Lingard. We will
await the discovery now of a second copy which
may contain the full slogan text.
A word should be said about the more modern
slogans . Many of the individual offices , from the
multi-office group , were never identified by Proulx.
The Coutts catalogue set about to report these for
the first time.
In the post-1953 period, post office documentation
and die proofs began to wane and by 1975 records
were infrequent and/or non-existent. The remaining
source for reports then was from the owners of
slogan collections.
With the help of these collectors, missing offices and
dates are now being reported to the catalogue
publisher. I am grateful to all of the study group
members, as well as non-members , for their input.
New reports continue to come in and I expect that a
second list of additions will be published in the fall
of 1997. By that time, we should have a pretty good
handle on slogan usage in Canada.
My earlier thoughts that OCR and jet spray
equipment would inject new life into slogan
collecting has come to pass. Forty-two new slogans
are included in List #1 and new ones are appearing
with regularity.

ANNIVERSAIRE 26 JUIN 1955. The French use was at MONTREAL and QUEBEC, and the English use at the following
16 offices. Note that MONTREAL used both versions.

In 1959 only, MONTREAL used a bilingual die of U-45 - 9758, UNITED
NATIONS IS YOUR BUSINESS LES NATIONS-UNIES VOUS CONCERNANT.
The usage was in late October, to coincide with what became the usual time of
observance of United Nations Day.
In 1960, on the U.N.'s fifteenth anniversary, there was the second mention of the observance of an annual United Nations
Day, with the issue of 0-35 - 6470, OBSERVE UNITED NATIONS DAY OCTOBER 24 and its French version, C-1460 2060, COMMERMOREZ LA JOURNEE DES NATIONS UNIES LE 24 OCTOBRE. The French version was used at
MONTREAL and QUEBEC, while the English version was used at the twelve offices listed below. Note that MONTREAL used
both versions . The non-separable dies were reissued to the same offices in 1961 and 1962, but at least one die must have been
damaged in 1961, since a replacement die, with somewhat thicker lettering , has been seen used at HALIFAX in 1962.

In 1962 T-240 - 9470 was issued , THE WORLD UNITED AGAINST MALARIA THROUGH W.H.O. The initials
were those of the World Health Organization , an Agency of the U. N. Proulx states use at 13 offices , but 14 are recorded.
MONTREAL and QUEBEC used a French version , L-355 - 5498, L'OMS LIGUE LE MONDE CONTRE LA MALARIA. The
initials in the French version -are those of Organisation Mondain de Sante, the French translation of World Health Organization.

The earliest use began on March 30, and continued through April. Thereafter usage was discontinued, with one unusual
exception . VANCOUVER use has been recorded in April, but then reappears from mid July to late October, and may have been
continuous from April. Even more oddly, it was then revived again at least in mid-February to mid March of 1963, and has also
been recorded in mid-November of that year . This very extended use by one office only is an interesting puzzle.

In 1963 S-2015 - 9150, SUPPORT UNICEF, was issued , together with the bilingual version, A-140 - 89, AIDEZ
L'UNICEF SUPPORT UNICEF. The initials stand for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, an Agency
of the U.N. The English version was issued to eight offices , and the bilingual to MONTREAL and QUEBEC. In this case,
MONTREAL did not also use an English version. The English usage was at the following offices.

Usage was in October and November, the normal season for observing United Nations Day, and the non-separable dies
were randomly reissued to the same offices in 1964-65. The initial format A dies had a 28 mm. slogan box, but 1964-65 use has
been seen in other widths, indicating the use of replacement dies. A format B die, with a 31 mm. box, has been recorded at
CALGARY in 1964 and at TORONTO in 1965. A format C die, with a 23 mm. box, has been recorded at CALGARY in 1965.

In 1965 only VANCOUVER used proprietary U-55 - 9763, UNiTED NATIONS 20TH ANNIVERSARY 1945-65.
Unfortunately, this slogan has not been seen , and therefore cannot be illustrated , but its usage is confirmed.
In 1966 the opening of the World Health Organization 's new headquarters in Geneva was commemorated by issue of
the multi-office W-225 - 10515 W.H.O. NEW HEADQUARTERS BUILDING GENEVA 1966, together with a French
version, 0-240 - 6565, O.M.S INAUGURATION DU NOUVEAU SIEGE GENEVE 1966 . Proulx states that the English
version was issued to fourteen offices , but fifteen have been recorded , and the bilingual issued to MONTREAL,
QUEBEC and SHERBROOKE. In this case , MONTREAL did not also use the English version.

Also in 1966 only , OTTAWA used both an English and a French version of a slogan advertising a regional Conference
of the International Labor Organization , a U.N. Agency . The English 1-30 - 4738 , I.L.O. 8TH AMERICAN REGIONAL
CONFERENCE , used the initials I.L.O., while the French E-145 - 2300 , 8E CONFERENCE REGIONALE AMERICAINE

In 1969 only a bilingual multi-office 1-35 - 4740, ILO/OIT - WORLD SOCIAL JUSTICE JUSTICE SOCIALE ET

In 1970 only a bilingual multi-office slogan C-1245 - 1818, COLONIALISM DECLARATION FREEDOM AND
PROGRESS DECLARATION CONTRE LE COLONIALISME, was issued . The wording does not reference the U.N. or an
Agency, but the subject matter strongly suggests U.N. sponsorship. Proulx lists 1970-71 use at 12 offices, but 13 have been
recorded or reported, and as use was in late December , possibly one of the offices continued use into very early January of 1971,
but there certainly was no major 1971 reissue. The using offices are as follows.
