Which Centennial Chicken Should Grace the Stamp
Washington reports Postmaster General Donaldson faces a centennial poultry stamp dilemma. Delaware Representative Boggs proposes a blue hen portrait for the three cent stamp, citing heritage and color harmony. Connecticut’s Sadlak notes the bill’s passage and suggests designer Ives and staff provide a concept, with final choice by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The piece compares to a prior air mail design compromise and hints at a first day sale location.
