FALL SEASON USHERS IN Renewed
CITY-WIDE ACTIVITIES FOR CHRONICLING

answer the draft and Dad carries
on the endless routine of making
both ends meet, our busy town
will present activities in abund
ance to record.
A news room is one of the most
interesting places on earth, unin-
spring to look at, perhaps, but
through its doors come the laugh
ter, the tears, the small vanities,
dark deeds and courageous, that
go to make up the community life
that surrounds you.
1t has been claimed that the
craft OF letterpress printing is the
medium which turned the dark
ness of the middle ages into light,
which secured to posterity the
achievements of the past and fur.
nished to civilization the means
OF recording all future progress.
The Chinese were the first
printers. The oldest known print
ed book was discovered in the
Chlnese province of Kansu and
bears the statement Printed MAY
II, S6S by Wang Chieh, for free
general distribution in deep rev.
erence to perpetuate the memory
OF his parents"
In 144O all books were printed
from engraved wood blocks"
whereby all the words on the
page Of book We're cut by hand
on a solid block of wood.
The development of the print
ing press provides a remarkable
history of achievement. Hand
presses were for more than 100
years constructed of wood and
operated on the screw principle.
William Janszoon Blaeu (1571-
1889 of Holland made the first
improvements, from which today
newspapers, with their necessity
OF rapid production and last min
ute news, have developed.
1t Is rare for one who has not
actually taken part in the last
minute rush and preparation of a
newspaper to understand the I'M
aVoidable strain under which the
staff work to give you the news
while 1t is news. Typewriters
click, the press rolls, the telephone
rings, dozen trivial things hap
pen to distract the attention. In
structions are given - changed at
last minute, because of later
news. So many, many things to
do while the linotype, the type
writer's, the staff = hurry, hurry,
hurry.
Then at last the proof sheet
comes off the press and eyes
search its printed lines for errors.
The most glaring are discovered
Immediately, but there are some
that have preyerse way of max
ing themselves inconspicuous un-
til the next morning, and then -.
"A nine pound boy born to Mr..
and Mrs. John Smith" may be-
come, in the process of printing,
a nine pound box" by striking
on the linotype single wrong
letter at the end of a word, or the
reporting of an accident where "a
COW was cut into halves by a
passing train" was misprinted as
"a COW was cut into calves!"
Sometimes the things that hap
pen behind the scenes are funny,
sometimes they're not but
that's life. And a newspaper Of
flee is where life's heart beats are
recorded.
