W a t c l n - H a o s e
It did not take long to show
that the
planners
can't
win.
Human nature, in some instances,
quickly upset a move to
simplify
orchard
registration
cards.
This year's card was designed
to be used as a postcard,
eliminating the need
for
the
householdeer to provide an envelope.
The front of the card
has the words
"a.Tix
pasta:;
stamp here" in a panel in the
top right corner. The .back of
the card has a space with. the
wording "attach revenue
stamps only" — the revenue
stamp being the amount of the
registration fee. .
So. even before registrations
became due on July 1, - some
early payers put their 20 cent
i revenue stamps in the postage
stamp panels.The result in
each case was .-an unpaid registration
because the value of
the revenue stamp, cancelled
by the P.M.G. Department,
could not bp -.collected by tbe
Department of Agriculture.
It is hoped that more than
100,000 people still to register
their orchards will put the
stamps in the'Tight places.
