Health Stamps 7.8.1968

Sports were again the topic of the annual Health stamp issue in 1968, and since it was Olympic Games year, two Olympic sports were chosen.
One stamp depicted a boy in an athletics event and the other a girl in a swimming event.  Each design included the Olympic emblem of five rings. The proceeds of the 'Health' value of health stamps were donated to the Children's Health Camps movement.
