For the first time, on October 24, 1955, a U.N. souvenir sheet was issued. Issued to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the United Nations, it features the opening words of the preamble to the U.N. Charter. This preamble of about 200 words precedes the chapters of the charter and expresses the guiding spirit of the organization. The preamble was written by Jan Christiaan Smuts, a South African soldier, scholar, and statesman. Smuts had served as prime minister of the Union of South Africa and was a champion of internationalism. The sheet also features the emblem of the United Nations, a map of the world surrounded by a wreath of olive branches. The branches symbolize peace, a constant goal of the U.N.
