+THE FLYING DRAGON DESIGN WAS PRODUCED BY THE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION SERVICES AND, SO FAR AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO JUDGE, IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY THE PUBLIC,+ HE SAID.

MR. BAMFORD OBSERVED THAT IN STAMP DESIGN, +YOU CAN PLEASE SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME BUT YOU CANNOT PLEASE ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.+

HOWEVER, HE FELT THAT THE RECENTLY ISSUED SILVER JUBILEE STAMPS WAS +Á COMMEMORATIVE ISSUE OF CONSIDERABLE DISTINCTION.+

THE STAMP EXHIBITION IS BEING HELD AT THE TSIM SHA TSUI DISTRICT KAIFONG ASSOCIATION ORGANISER OF THE TSIM SHA

TSUI PHILATELIC CENTRE.

AMONG THE STAMPS ON DISPLAY ARE THE PROOFS OF THE NEW DEFINITIVE STAMPS AND PROOFS OF THE COMMEMORATIVE STAMPS ON TOURISM.
