Time, gentlemen, and ladies, please.

The Helen Creighton Folklore Society is in the process of trying to get the Canadian Postal Service to bring in a special stamp to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the collection of Nova Scotia's most popular and famous song - The Nova Scotia Song (Farewell to Nova Scotia).

In 1933, a young Helen Creighton was travelling in the Pepeswick region of Nova Scotia. It was later printed in her first book, Traditional Songs in Nova Scotia. Sadly the book is out of print.

We are hoping to have people across the country initiate a letter writing campaign to both the Cdn Postal Service, and your local MPs, and the Prime Minister's Office. If you would, please ask them if they would support a Commemorative stamp to recognize the collection of this song.

Hopefully, they will be able to do something, if pressed about this.

If not, we can start again, perhaps right away, for a commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the event.

Let's see what we can do.

Canadians, please note, letters to the Prime Minister, and (I THINK) to your MP's in their Ottawa office, may be sent without a stamp.

Oh, I bet the Governor-General would support this.
