STATE BULLETIN REVIEW

Although occurrences are much less frequent, one can still recognize a few
articles reprinted vrithout acknowledgment of the source, or any indication tJrat
permission has been given. Even when it may be an oversight, the practice is not
"cricket".

many ways a,nd merits the support of adult collectors. Their very own publication
is a strong bond between widely distributed members and one of their best sources

shanks, with drawings; a list of identiflable people on buttons; a piece titled
"Wildlife in Christmas Legends Depicted on Buttons".
