PRESIDENT'S M E S S A G E I n my f i n a l column before t h e 1988 Ontar io Numismatic Convention

i n March, I w i l l a t tempt t o answer t h e remaining ques t ions posed a t the Delegates Meeting i n 1987.

qU3STION: How does one go about merging Clubs? ANS'VER : While we l i v e i n a "reasonably" f r e e s o c i e t y , I would have t o

assume t h e major i ty af each group would have t o be agreeable . The terms o f t h e merger would have t o s a t i s f y each Club as I have never heard o f a H o s t i l e Takeover i n Coin Clubs yet .

QUESTION: How can t h e 0 . N . A . have a h igher p r o f i l e i n t h e Canadian Numis- matic Associat ion, e s p e c i a l l y i n t h e s e l e c t i o n o f the Ontar io Direc tor?

ANS'RER : The O.N.A. w i l l s t r i v e t o become more v i s a b l e , and i n t h i s a r e a g r e a t e r communications a r e ind ica ted . I pe r sona l ly s e e no way of g r e a t e r i n p u t i n t h e s e l e c t i o n ( e l e c t i o n ) o f t h e Ontar io Direc tor .

QUESTION: w i l l t h e new insurance p lan be a p p l i c a b l e t o i n d i v i d u a l members o f a Club as wel l as t h e Club i t s e l f ?

AXS VER : Most d e f i n i t e l y . Clubs insured m d e r t h e po l i cy have a l l Club Members covered and t h e Club Executive. I n c i d e n t a l l y , t h e program turned o u t t o be q u i t e s u c c e s s f u l and was supported by 25 Mubs !

Severa l ques t ions were asked i n regard t o a D i r e c t o r ' s d u t i e s and Convention opera t ions . While these a r e n o t being answered i n t h i s column, I would sugges t t h e person wishing information c o n t a c t me d i r e c t l y with more s p e c i f i c s .

' h e m a i l bag hasn ' t been bulging over t h e p a s t yea r but 1 d i d r e c e i v e a n i c e note from J i m Char l ton i n which he suggested one way o f earn ing much needed a d d i t i o n a l funds would be through a Donation Auction. Th i s might work! What do you th ink?

EDITORIAL -

January is a good time t o d i scuss Club f inances. Many Clubs have e l e c t e d a new execut ive f o r t h e coming year , and one of t h e f i r s t i tems o f business should be t h e i r Club finances. I asked my Club members where I ' m P res iden t , t'How much do they th ink i t c o s t ou r Club t o conduct each meeting?" Answers ranged from 815.00 t o 825.00, when i n r e a l i t y i t is over 860.00. That inc ludes our r e n t , membership t o O.N.A., C.N.A., L i a b i l i t y Insurance , and Publ ica t ion . %at 860.00 f o r our Club i s very low, when i t has heen r e p o r t e d t o me t h a t s e v e r a l Clubs pay more than t h a t f o r r e n t alone. Also, I belong t o s e v e r a l Clubs whose cash balance a t t h e end o f t h e yea r w a s very small, and those new execut ive members a r e faced with bankruptcy each meeting and unable t o in t roduce new programs because of the l a c k o f funds. When new programs a r e not in t roduced, sometimes i n t e r e s t l a g s and t h e r e ' s a l o s s o f a t tendance and membership.

What i s t h e answer? Raise the dues t o match t h e c o s t o r do you f i n d a l t e r n a t e ways t o meet those cos t s? Continual ly r a i s i n g t h e dues can be a very c o s t l y mistake i f you l o s e p a r t of your membership. I r e a l i z e that t h e due s t r u c t u r e has t o be reviewed from time t o time and a modest i n c r e a s e be made, but n o t a t t h e expense o f l o s i n g some of ou r members.

!%at a r e some of those a l t e r n a t i v e s ? F i r s t , our news le t t e r i s a l a r g e expense and one t h a t no Club can do without. I t provides t h e only l i n k of communication between t h e Club and i ts c a s u a l a t tendance members. I t 's v i t a l l y important t o announce upcoming programs and what those casua l a t t e n d i n g members missed a t t h e las t meeting. I n o rde r t o c u t t h e c o s t o f t h i s pub l i ca t ion , some could be de l ive red by hand, e s p e c i a l l y i n t h e sma l l e r cen t re s . About 5& o f my Club 's pub l i ca t ion is de l ive red t h i s way and c o s t is reduced d r a s t i c a l l y ,

D r a w s can produce another income. I l i k e t h e "Share the vea l th" (50-50) -,

where one h a l f goes back t o t h e Club. Other types a r e donat ions and t i c k e t s s o l d on those donations. A small charge f o r c o i n s s o l d i n t h e Club Auction can produce an income. We charge 5% and only i f t h e l o t i s sold.

The O.N.A. g ives every Club t h e oppor tuni ty t o make some money, and s e v e r a l Clubs have taken advantage of t h i s oppor tuni ty each year . Each yea r the O.N.A. a s k s its members and member Clubs t o s e l l t i c k e t s on t h e i r draw and a 82.00 r e b a t e w i l l be given hack t o t h e Designated Club f o r each complete book sold. My Club has made over $190.00 and the S t r a t f o r d Club over 8200.00, then f look down t h e list ( t h a t is published each y e a r ) o f those Clubs which g e t a $2.00 o r 84.00 r e b a t e and a r e complaining about t h e i r f i n a n c i a l s i t u a t i o n s b u t a r e doing very l i t t l e t o improve t h a t s i t u - a t i o n .

I hope t h a t some o f my sugges t ions and c r i t i c i s m s w i l l be taken s e r i o u s l y by the Club Execut ives and Members. Clubs can only su rv ive i f they have t h e funds t o c a r r y on, and you i t s members can h e l p by g iv ing a l i t t l e e x t r a e f f o r t t o a l l t h e sugges t ions I have made. Every Club has something t o o f f e r t o everyone i n the hobby. I t 's our r e s p o n s i b i l i t y a s members t o give something back i n r e tu rn .

Is It The Bluenose?. By Laurence R. GrWi . " ,... .-... -.-.--.--.

Since i t ' s i n t r o d u c t i o n i n 1937, Canada's famed f i s h i n g boat dime ha^ 3ocn an enigma. And, t h e r e ' s no reason t o . b c l i e v e t h a t t h e puzzl ing quest ion8 surrounding i t w i l l ever be r e ~ o l v e d s a t i s f a c t o r i l y .

I n t h a t year , Canadian coinage underwent a number o f changes. First, o f course, t he e f f i g y o f Ring George V, who d ied i n 1936, had t o be r e - placed with one of George VI, i n l i n e with Canada's p r a c t i c e o f always hsvinc h e r co ins c a r r y an image of England's r e ign ing monarch.

However, t h e government a l s o decided t o change the r eve r sos o f some o f 1 ts coins t o malce them more r e p r e s e n t a t i v e o f Canada. The design of t h a dime was s e t f o r t h i n a r o y a l proclamation which s t i p u l a t e d "A f i s h i n g schooner under sail, 'Canada' above and '10 c e n t s ' below, with the d a t e o f t h e year , and a g ra in upon the edge.l1 ,

But, coon a f t e r t h e new co ins began t o appear , sharp-eyed observers quiclcly noted t h e schooner 'c high bow and sail arrangement c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of t he well-known r a c i n g boat , Bluenose. Almost immediately everyone was demanding t o know, "1s i t , o r i s n ' t i t ' B l ~ e n o s e ' ? ~ O f f i c i a l l y , i t i s n ' t , and as proof , t h e mint always po in t s t o the wording o f its pro- clamation.

What apparent ly happened is t h a t Ernmanuel Hahn pa t t e rned h i s desfgn a f t e r photographs of Bluenose, and perhaps even used a model t o complete t h e engraving.

Hahn probably f e l t , l i k e many o t h e r s , t h a t Bluenose symbolized both Canada's v a s t f ioh ing i n d u s t r y and h e r maritime ski l~s . And, indeed, i n . ?. . these respec t6 he cou ldn ' t have picked a b e t t e r schooner. -

This would be no c o n t e s t between high-born, pampered a r i s t o c r a t s of the tzea, usod only as p leasu re c r a f t , bu t i n s t e a d a ~ t r u g g l e of r e a l worlcing schooners t h a t earned t h e i r keep. The f a c t is , American and Canadian fishermen had been r a c i n g each o t h e r f o r y e a r s f o r t h e i r own amusement.

I n t h e f i r s t Herald c o n t e s t , t h a t f a l l , Canada's e n t r y was soundly dofeated by a Q l o u s t c r boat , t tEsperantou, and the new I n t e r n a t i o n a l

1988 ONA CONVENTION NEWS

I am very excited about the plans already finalized by various members of your Convention Committee (their names will be published in the next ONA Numismatist dubbed the "Convention Issue"). A fantastic array of programs and speakers is in place. The medals are already on hand. The Registration Kit is shaping up nicely. The Program of Events is in place ar. ready to be mailed to you in the next bulletin. Everything is coming along beautifully: We know you will enjoy the convention.

Of immediate concern is the Souvenir Program Booklet that has to be layed out, typeset, printed, collated, folded, stapled, etc., well before the Convention. We appeal to you at this time to read over the following pages and if you are motivated sufficiently, to fill in the last sheet of this bulletin and return it to us by February 15.

SEE YOU AT THE CONVENTION:

John Regitko,

SOUVEN I R PROGRAM BOOKLET INFORMATION I W

The 1988 ONA CONVENTION, hosted by the Toronto International Coin Fair, promises to be the .

largest ONA Convention ever. With the experience of the TICF Committee in running coin shows,the ONA Executive's dedication in advancing the hobby, and the fact that the 1988 ONA CONVENTION is being held in conjunction with TICF's Spring show, a high attendance is assured . All activities normally associated with a major convention are in place, The Registration Kit will be second-to-none in content and value. Also, the Souvenir Program Booklet will be like no other before it. It will be the biggest and best Souvenir Program Booklet ever produced in Canada by anyone!

We are offering all ONA members, whether collectors, dealers or clubs, an opportunity to , participate in the success of this high-profile show,by placing an ad in the Souvenir Program Booklet. On the following pages are the relevent details concerning advertising in the Souvenir Program Booklet. Why not consider some of the following ideas for a small ad :

FOR INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS: Congratulate the ONA; make a donation for the registration kit of your old or new woods or medals (75 identical pieces please) and take a free ad indicating your generosity; advertise some of your spare woods, medals or other numismatic material; etc.

FOR COIN CLUBS: Promote your meeting dates; promote your annual coin show; make a dona- tion of 75 identical pieces for the registration kit and get an ad free; promote your ,St

left-over club medals or woods; get a number of your members together to share a common -

ad mentioning all their names; etc.

FOR DEALERS: A general ad about their dealership; a "for sale" ad of specific material; a "good for" coupon ad; a "come and see me at my table" ad; a simple congratulatory ad; make a donation of 75 or more pieces and tie it into your free ad; etc.

Please note that your ad must be received towards the beginning of February. But don't put off replying until then. He1p.u~ plan the Souvenir Program Booklet early to avoid the usual last-minute rush, by acting immediately. Note that if you are planning on issuing a new wooden nickel at the Convention (a number of people do this regularly) and donating 75 for the registration kit but they are not ready yet, send us your ad now and send us the wooden nickels whenever you can (wo do want them in advance of the Convention for inclusion in the Registration Kit).

We look forward to hearing from you soon. Dealers note that a receipt will be issued for '

tax purposes.
