   Ah, you're right, I didn't.  My working album has a title page that says   
   1950.  This isn't completely true, as I have created a little bit of a   
   mutant.  Having browsed through dozens of remnant albums and piles upon   
   piles of loose album pages acquired from all over, I've managed to add some   
   non-original pages.   However, "most" pages are from 1950, including the one   
   in question.   
      
   Checking a Part 2 I have in another pile, it has the same page with a   
   copyright date of 1953.  I'll watch for a newer album to see what later   
   versions of this page contains.
