Mrs. U.M. Tavella Winner Of Competition Mrs. U. M. Tavella, local artist, has been awarded the First prize of the Stamp Design Contest of the Shanghai Anti-Tuberculosis Association, according to word obtained from the Association's headquarters at 41 Tzepang Road. The three honourable mentions are Mr. Paul Fischer, Mr. Lo Hsiao-hsin and Miss Yuen Tsung Sze, daughter of Dr. Sao-Ko Alfred Sze, former Chinese Ambassador to London and Washington Mrs. Tavella's design that has won the judges' acclaim is an attractive one. It depicts the map of the world with the double bar cross radiating from Shanghai as a link between the Shanghai Association and those in the other parts of the world, all engaged in the fight against the "white plague."
The subject matters of the other di igns vary as much as the contestants themselves, who range from professional to amateurs. But all have one common idea,—the sign of the double bar cross as a symbol of the will and desire to combat tuberculosis.
The contest was launched in May for the purpose of selecting a design for the Association's annual stamp. Altogether 47 entries have been submitted by 39 contestants.
The judges for the contest were: Mr, Brayton L. Meyer, of the Standard: Vacuum Oil Company, an authority on philately; Mr. C. P. Ling, General Manager of the China Commercial Advertising Agency; and Mr. R. D. Chisolm.
