1970. A group of Boy Scouts in their uniforms. This stock image was used on all the Boy Scout camp postcards throughout the country. Each card was personalized to the individual camps. Scouts would use these cards to send a message home from camp. This card was for Gateway To Gardner Dam Scout Camps Valley Council High Adventure - 1600 Acres along the majestic Wolf River - White Lake, Wisconsin. Opened in 1932, Gardner Dam Scout Camp is located along the Wolf River, near the Village of White Lake, in the Town of Wolf River, Langlade County. This vintage lithograph postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection. Love it ♡ Get it ☆ Get Lucky 💋Vintage

1892 Scott 46 1c on 5c green/greenish French Colonies 1881-86 Stamps Surcharged in Black Quick History St. Pierre and Miquelon, two small islands (93 square miles) in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean sixteen miles (25 km) from the southern coast of Newfoundland, Canada, were declared a French possession in 1536 By Jacques Cartier for the King of France. New France 1750 It is the last of the colonial empire New France remaining under French authority, and today is a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France. Saint Pierre and Miquelon The islands were occasionally visited by Basque and Breton fisherman, (Miquelon is a Basque name for "Big Michael"), but the islands were not settled until 1670, when four inhabitants were counted. The islands then went back and forth between Britain and France, when they were again resettled in 1816 by Basques, Bretons and Normans. Cod fishing was certainly the mainstay for this little French outpost. The islands are rocky and barren, except for a thin layer of peat soil, and some juniper shrubs. Rain and snow fall 146 days per year on average, and fog banks occur 100 days per year. Saint Pierre and Miquelon Stamps of the French Colonies cancelled "SPM" in lozenge of dots can be found from 1859. Handstamped surcharged stamps for St. Pierre and Miquelon proper were first issued in 1885. The St. Pierre and Miquelon issues continue to the present day (except between 1978-1986, when French stamps were used). The population was 4,300 in 1931, and the capital is St. Pierre. St. Pierre 1921 During the early 20th century, fishing became unprofitable at times. (Cod fishing, the traditional occupation of the inhabitants, is now essentially gone, with the severe depletion of fish stock.) But the 1920s prohibition in the United States created a smuggling opportunity for the little islands. Almost 2 million gallons of Canadian whisky were "imported". Then, by 1933, the islands were again in an economic depression with the end of prohibition. During WW II, the islands sided with the Free French (France Libre) of General Charles de Gaulle. In 1958, when a new constitution was approved in France, St. Pierre and Miquelon were given the option of becoming part of France, becoming a state of the French Community, or remaining an overseas territory. The islands decided to remain a French overseas territory. (Of interest, at that time, the Comoro Islands, French Polynesia, French Somaliland, and New Caledonia also agreed to remain overseas territories. Chad, French Dahomey, French Sudan, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mauritania, Middle Congo, Niger, Senegal, Ubangi-Shari, and Upper Volta elected to become states of the French Community. It is all very complicated, of course, and many of these countries again changed status after 1958- see French Community Wikipedia article.) The inhabitants of St. Pierre and Miquelon speak the French language, naturally, but not Canadian French, Their customs and traditions are closer to those of France, and the spoken language is closer to Standard French. 1892 Scott 43 4c on 25c black/rose Into the Deep Blue The 2014 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue has, for St. Pierre and Miquelon 1885-1940, 260 major stamp descriptions.
