Stevens, Panama Engineer Will Be Honored by Postage Stamp Tel. 8-F-4 D. H. McGILL Hy. 1 Vass. N. C. THE BEST HOG FEED. CHICKEN FEED CORN MEAL AND FLOUR Manufactured in Siler City SANDHILL GROCERY C. H. Strickland West Southern Pines April 25 of this year would have been/ the ninety-third birthday of John F. Stevens, who was one of the American builders of the Panama Canal and who died in Southern Pines oh June 2, 1943. Word was received from Balboa last week that the Canal Zone postal authorities will mark the anniversary by releasing a five cent blue stamp bearing the port rait of John F. Stevens and in scribed with his name. The stamp in commemoration of John F. Stevens will be the tenth and final unit in the postal series paying honor to the United States engineers who, as members of the Isthmian Canal Commiss ion constructed the waterway across Panama early in the cent ury. In each instance the Canal Zone officials have waited until after the death of the man re membered before issuing the stamp. The canal builders previously honored were J. C. S. Blackburn, Col. David D. Gaillard, Gen. George W. Goethals, Gen. William C. Gorgas, Lieut. Col. Harry F. Hodges, Rear Adm. H. H. Rousseau, Gen. William L. Sibert, Jackson Smith, and Col. Sydney B. Williamson. John F. Stevens was selected by President Theodore Roosevelt to take charge of the canal’s con struction in 1905, and became chairman and chief engineer of the commission, following the resignation of John F. Wallace. It was he who, as an engineer, discovered the Marias Pass thro ugh the northern Montana Rock ies in December of 1889 and thus opened the way for the Great Northern Railroad to the Pacific. Of especial interest to the numerous stamp enthusiasts of the Sandhills communities should be the new Canal Zone issue in honor to John F. Stevens, who lived in retirement in Southern Pines for a number of years prior to his death. Son of the eminent engineer is E. C. Stevens of the Stevens real estate and Insurance agency here.
