A new thirteen cent postage stamp will receive its first postmark in Schuylerville. The stamp, which will depict the surrender of General John Burgoyne following the battle of Saratoga in 1777, was to have been issued from Saratoga Springs. Appar ently, the protests of a number of area citizens caused the postal service to change its mind about giving Saratoga that honor. The battle of Saratoga took place near Schuyler- viile, not in Saratoga. When General Bur- goyne’s men laid down their arms before General Horatio Gates, they did so at the site of Schuyler* ville’s Fort Hardy athletic field. A famous painting of that surrender, by John- Trumbull, will be shown on the stamp. The postal service -has asked that orders for first day cancel lations of the stamp not be sent in before August 26. Active in campaigning for the first day issue honor have been K. Walter Grom, chairman of the committee of corres pondence of the Old Saratoga Bicentennial commission, and Mrs. Katherine Bristol, post master of the Schuyler ville post office.^ Child Find show set on TV Cards of Thanks ......... 18 Churches . . . . , .............. 9 Classifieds ................... 18 Editorial Features^. . . . 9 4-H News .....................15 Granges .............. ,....§ Letter.............................9 Sports ............... 12 & 13 Vicinities— Archdale Argyle..
