PART HI Copyright, 1942, John Barr)

Paine's colossal conceit matched his itching palm. His brazen audacity deceived many people for a little while, but among those who like Connecticut recog- nized Paine as a scheming for- tune e-hunter,-was that splendid patriot, John Dunlap.
 The story of John Dunlap should be known by every grown-up and boy and girl in America.
 Johns uncle William had come to America from Ireland before John was born. He located in Philadelphia and established successful printing office and book publishing business. He was related by marriage to Ben- jamin Franklin but he was an old bachelor, and when his nephew, John, was eight years old he sent for him to come to America and learn the printing trade as his apprentice.
 The relationship between uncle and nephew was most happy and affectionate. Young John showed remarkable aptitude for business and made many friends and admirers among business men who dealt with his uncle. And when the boy was only 16, he had proved himself so competent and trustworthy that his uncle de- termined to carry out long cher ished plan of returning to Iheland to finish his college course and the return to America and locate in Virginia, where he had pur- chased very large tract of land.
 So he turned his entire printing business over to John, for a sum agreed upon between them, which John was to pay in installments and then take full title.
 At the age of 21 John Dunlap had paid his uncle in full, to the complete satisfaction of both.
 At the age of "A he then de- termined to establish a newspaper. to begin as weekly, and be con- ducted on the highest standard of patriotism, intergrity and en- terprise.
 The first issue of John Dunlap's newspaper was on Monday. Oc- tober 28th, 1771; the name was:
 'Pennsylvania Packet; and the General Advertiser.
 Later 1t became a semi weekly then a tri-weekly; and on Tues day. September 21, 1784, it be- came = The First Daily News paper in America: "The Pennsyl- vania Packet and Daily Adver- tiser" and later, 'The American Daily Advertiser.
 The list of the subscribers to the first issue of October 28, 177l, included Colonel George Wash ington, Mount Vernon, Virginia. He took John Dunlap's newspaper for 30 years, till the time of his death, and had them all hand- somely bound.
 When John Dunlap started his newspaper in 1771. he employed an apprentice 10 years his junior, David c. Claypoole, who later became his partner. Young Clay poole was of distinguished ances- try. He was a direct descendent of Oliver Cromwell, through his favorite daughter.
 The 14-year-old apprentice took John Dunlap for his model, and when David c. Claypoole died at the age of 02, honored and loved by his countrymen, his tenderest memory was of his beloved part ner. John Dunlap. who had died in 1872, and was buried with highest military and civic honors in Christ Churchyard, near the grave of Beniamin Vrankiin.

On November 17th, 1927, hand some bronze tablet was unveiled on the much altered building that was once the most famous print ing office in the world. Elabor- ate ceremonies were conducted under the auspices of the His torical Society of Pennsylvania, which had previously issued the following statement:
 "After century and quarter of obscurity. the site of the printing office of Captain John Dunlap and Lieutenant David c. Claypoole, now 134 and 136 Market Street, Philadelphia, is to be appropriately marked by The His torical Society of Pennsylvania through the kindness of the Horn and Hardart Baking Com pany, the present owner of the property.
 The First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry will unveil the tablet Thursday afternoon, Mo- vember 1T, 1927, at 4 o'clock.
 Dunlap and Clapoole were the official printers to Congress and personal friends of Washington. As officers in the American Rev. olutionary Army and practical newspaper men. these staunch patriots exercised great power in molding the public opinion of their day.
 They were the first to print the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and Washington's Farewell Ad- dress.
 Their newspaper, complete files of which are preserved in The Historical Society of Penn sylvania, has the added distinc- ton of being the first daily paper published in America.

 Senior Vice-President,

 Pennsylvania"
 How Dunlap and Claypoole man. aged to get ont their newspaper regularly through eight years of war is wonder. Even during the British occupation of Philadelphia when Washington and his army were camped at Valley Forge and Congress took up temporary quart CTS at York. "The Packet, printed in Lancaster. didn't miss an issue, but was distributed among the soldiers and among the folks at home, full of hope. courage and inspiration.
 Whoever. has not seen those old files has treat waiting for him.

Airplane manufacturers have al- ways found it difficult to produce a paint which would adhere to alum mum or duralumin. This has been solved by "anodizing" the metal. Anodizing Is an artificial electrical process by which corrosion is begun and arrested, leaving protective oxide film on the surface to which the paint adheres.

TRAP-DOOR VICTIM
SUING FOR $1,000

A shouted "look out" by a by
stander is held to have been partly
responsible for Ignace Bardazavicius
of Waterbury falling into an open
trap-door last August Is, according
to $1,000 suit filed by the latter
in superior court today.
The local man charges that at
the time of the accident, w. Leo
McAviney of New Haven, a defend
ant in +he action, together with
others was engaged in unloading
barrels of beer from his truck into
the cellar of restaurant at 7C4
Riverside street, owned by Frank
zika, also named defendant.
To this end they had raised the
trap-door, which led to the cellar,
leaving the opening exposed and
without proper guards around 1t.
AS Bardazavicius approached, he
alleges, he was suddenly distracted
by sudden cry of look OUT by
one of the men occupied with I'M
loading the barrels, and the next
instant fell into the opening. AS a
result of the accident he lays claim
to having suffered numerous in
juries arising from the negligence
of the defendants.
