    Minnesota Statehood

    The U.S. Postal Service has issued a 42-cent Minnesota Statehood commemorative stamp.

    The stamp commemorates the 150th year of Minnesota's statehood. It features a photograph of a view northwest of the city of Winona, Minn., taken by Richard Hamilton Smith, of Park Rapids.

    For first-day cancellations, affix stamps to self-addressed envelopes and send them to MINNESOTA STATEHOOD STAMP, POSTMASTER, PO BOX 645001, SAINT PAUL, MN 55164-5001. Orders must be postmarked by July 16.

    Forever stamp

    The U.S. Postal Service reissued the nondenominated First-Class Mail definitive Forever Stamp (Liberty Bell). The stamp was first issued last year.

    The value of the stamp will always be the First-Class Mail, single piece, 1-ounce letter rate that is in effect on the day of use, unaffected by any future rate changes.

    The stamp depicts the Liberty Bell, a prominent and recognizable symbol associated with American independence. The historic significance of the bell has transcended our national borders, and today it is an international icon of freedom.

    For first-day cancellations, stamps should be affixed to self-addressed en­velopes and sent to FOREVER STAMP, POSTMASTER, SPECIAL CAN­CELLATIONS, PO BOX 92282, WASHINGTON DC 20090-9998. Or­ders must be postmarked by July 11.
