That story, that ad, that headline-all
must be set in type. A few, very, few, news
papers still are set by hand. On those, every
small letter in the newspaper is picked out
individually from a type case, and set in its
proper place in the columns. On most news
papers, typesetting is a mechanical chOre
performed by LinOtype-a machine which
sets, as its name indicates, line of type at
time. The Linotype operator, the compost
tor, the makeup man., the pressman-all
have their jobs to do in the backshOp, and
all have spent years training for those jobs.
Theirs is the big responsibility of getting the
newspaper "tO bed" and into the hands of
the readers.
Distribution of the newspaper requires
the services of the Circulation man." On
the small publication that responsibility
rests with the printers levil (Which is the
name given an apprentice who is all-arOund
handywan), the publishers wife or a circu-
latiOn manager. On the larger publications
the job requires many men and big depart
mentS with special supervisors in each-One
for city circulation, one for mail circulation,
a circulation manager with overall author

statesmen and news stand distributors

passed long ago. ANY newspaper, regard
less of it's size, represents as great an in
vestment as almost any business in its town.
Type is very expensive. Metal is extremely
high. Newsprint has skyrOcketed in price.
A Linotype machine alone costs thousands
of dollars, to say nothing Of the complicated
presses And they represent only parts of
the mechanics of producing tOday's news
paper. For there are the melting pots, the
saws, the trimmerS, the strip casters, the
chases, the typewriters and the thousands of
little items that go to make up even the
smallest plant.
This is written to encourage you to visit
the newspaper plant in your home town. To
see how it functions, what makes it tick
and to have a greater understanding of the
job that the newspaper is doing for you and
your community.
For years past the Milford Chronicle has
encouraged school authorities to send their
pupils for a visit of our plant. 1t is through
this means that the children are given an
insight into just how a modern newspaper
is produced. Hundreds will visit us during
the present year, we hope.

FIRE DEATHS HIGH AMONG
VERY YOUNG

Some thirteen hundred children under
five years Of age died last year as a result
of fire. This is tragic fact.
Very young children present a special
problem when it comes to fire protection.
the National Board of Fire Underwriters
points out. A child enters the world sur
rounded by potentially dangerous conditions
OF which he is completely unaware. After a
period Of helplessness, in which he must be
entirely dependent upon his elders, he begins
to move about and create situations of his
own making. From this point on, he must
be taught-by discipline or through exper-
ience-What is safe and what is not.
At this early age, however, the things
which he has already learned are dangerous
won't always help him to recognize danger
when he comes up against a new and unre-
lated experience. Therefore, he must be
supervised; warned Of imminent danger be-
fore he gets hurt. This is one reason why the
National Board continually cautions parents
never to leave children alone in the house
and to be sure their baby sitters know
enough about fire safety so that they car
take over while the parents are away.
Here are a. few cOnnmOn-senSe rules tC
remember, which may save your home, your
chlldren'S lives and your own:
/. Never leave matches within reach o1
young hands
2: Turn pot handles so they do not pro
ject beyond the stove.
3. Don't dress children in fimsy, fast
burning materials unless those material.
have been flameprOofed.
4. Never allow children to play near
bonfire
3. Never use candles at children's par
ties.

Washington Letter So By Robert Nelson ToYlor

port was ordered down at Okinawa,
and you have the picture of Air
Force gloom.
The action is understandable
however, when you consider how
the incident might be used by the
enemy in further obstructing the
already snarled up peace conference.
And, if you consider that the Origi-
nal offer, intended primarily to un-
hinge the morale of enemy flyers,
was a tactical war maneuver; then
it should have been automatically
suspended with the signing of the
truce along with the shooting.
But there just might be a gimmick
in that term "rightful owner" Will
the North Korean Air Force be
able to produce receipt for it? And
since we're being so legalistic about

they bought it from Russia or that
the Russians gave it to them for
free, or that they got it from Russia
via Red China, it would be prima-
facie evidence of Russian partici-
patton in the war.

Don't Be Fooled BY Figures

All the above now results in one
baby being born every eight seconds
and someone dying every twenty
one seconds. In addition, one immi-
grant enters the U. S. every two
minutes and one emigrant leaves
every seventeen minutes. l have
no figures on the probable increase
in the number of families; but this
will be very much less.
These facts would appear to re-
quire more schools, more roads,
more houses, and even more tele-
phones, automobiles, refrigeratOrs,
televisiOn sets, etc, etc. hope this
will be true; but not necessarily.
Present schoolhOu8es cold take care
of the present population by being
operated on two shifts. Our roads
may now be Overbuilt. The number
of houses needed depends upon
families, not on persons. In the
house in which / was born at 5S

goods they are to buy. Taxes should
decline somewhat next year, but
the decline will not be permanent.
Even the Welfare Funds which
organized labor is now demanding
will increase unless the workers
increase their production according
ly. Security" must always be paid
for by someone. Otherwise, it is
like depending upon aspirin to cure
a disease. These Funds will not
remedy the real trouble.
Conservation And Character
To have this large increase in
population with a high standard of
living we must conserve our natur-
al resources. This means avoiding
waste of everything, from oil to
trees. Our woodlands and soils must
especially be prOtected-yes, and
even the fish of the oceans. 1t is
utterly foolish to talk about great
future property due to increased
population" unless we train our
children to be less wasteful.
Another thought. We have only
to travel in Asia and Africa to know
that population alone does not make
prosperity. In fact, a large pOpula-
tion may make for poverty. For our
grandchildren to enjoy prosperity
much more attention must be de-
voted to spiritual training, the de-
velopement of good habits, and the
arousing within the souls of al
people desire to work and produce

TO BE LEARNED ABOUT
FIRE PREVENTION

1t is tragic fact that 1000 persons
die every year as result of fire. Still more
tragic is the fact that at least 1000 are chill
dren, most of them under five years of age.
Why are these little children so often
fires victims?
One reason is their utter helplessness as
babies. If trapped for instance, in burn
ing building, they are powerless to help
themselves.
Another reason is their inquisitiveness
and lack of fear of fire.
The National Board of Fire Underwrit-
eers this Fire Prevention Week, October 4-1O
IS using every means possible to emphasize
the safety measures whereby loss of life and
property can be substantially reduced. Lei
us IN this community assume our share OF
TINS responsibility and help make America
safe from fire.

BABSON Discusses Our Grandchildren

BabsOn Park, Mass, Oct.1. Many
have been written about the
continuing rapid increase of U. S.
which is now over 160,-
100000. They all read in a bullish
vein and are presented as a cause
for great future prosperity. This
week-hOwever-I will present an
other side to this story-namely,
what the expected future increase
may mean to your children and
grandchildren.
Reasons For The Expected Increase
The first reason is that there
now are more births. The second
reason is that there now are fewer
deaths prOportiOnately. Deaths a
mOng babies are much feWer-while
almost everyone is living longer, due
to better food, shorter hours, saner
habits, and improved medical care.
Also the following statistics given
me by the Editor of MASS TRANS
PORTATION are suggestive.
Since 1910, which was only 19
years ago, new public" has come
into being. Fourteen million old Gus
toners have died. More than II mil
lion marriages have taken place
More than 80 million babies have
been born. More than One-third OF
all present families in the U. S. have
been formed. Of the more thar

Key To Survival

No phrase in the military lexicon
is more familiar to US all than that
of buying time" America, being a
peculiarly unwarlike nation, with
no designs on anybody else's real
estate, and rich enough in our own
accomplishments that there can be
no envy in our hearts for the posses
siOns of others, has always had to
buy time" as best it could when
war clouds gathered.
1t used to be, before World War /,
and even World War II, that we
were able to buy years of it But it
will never be that way again. While
we have all realized this vaguely, We
are indebted to the man who should
know best, General Curtis f. LeMay,
commander of the Air Forces
Strategic Air Command. for rubbing
our noses in this fact of national
existence.
The lOng-Tange bomber and the
atomic bomb with its terrible des-
tructive capacity turn the factor of
time against the defender" says
General LeMay. Every important
target, in even the worlds largest
nation, can be reached at the most
within two hours after bombers
cross its frontier. Time is of the
utmost value. There may not be
enough of it once an atomic attack
is launched
Quoting these biting words in an
editorial in the magazine Planes
Admiral Dewitt c. Ramsey, USN
Ret, goes on to point out that even
though the atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima is far outclassed by the
new models, it never f-the-less die
as much damage as two hundred
B-29 loads of block-busters; anC
that all the damage suffered By
Germany in three-and-a-half years
of steady bombing could now bt
inflicted overnight. IF an attacl
comes" says Admiral Ramsey, 1--WE
must operate from the mobilization
base which is in existence on tn,
day the war starts Time, a!
never before, has become the Ike!
factor in our planning for natiOna
survival in time of peril"
Thus our brightest hope woult
seem to lie in the adoption and re
lentless continuance of that long
range aircraft procurement program
that Congressional and militar
leaders have been urging since tn
close of World War II. If we sit o.
our hands now, there will not b
billions enough, or workers enOug
or brains enough in all America
once war started, to meet our des
perate needs fast enough.

Americas homeless, underprivil-

nave been more than 5000 boys
who have lived in Boys Town. The
late Father Edward j. Flanagan
established his first home for boys
in Omaha in 1917. Perhaps you re-

Dear Friends

Dear Frlends:-
Sunday we decided to celebrate
my brothers birthday by riding up
to Nebraska and seeing what that
state looks like.
The first thing that I noticed that
looked foreign to Delaware seen
cry were the various storm cellars.
Almost every farmer had a storm
cellar located not too far from
their farm house. Some were just
mounds of dirt with a door leading
into them, others were made of
brick, some cinder blocks, and all
contained some sort of chimney.
Made me kind of uneasy since we
/ have no cellar here. / hope we
miss such weather during our Kan
sas assignment
The scenery lacked something
that Fesembled land at home and
realized finally what it was. In
| the Blue Hen state, no matter
which way you look you can see
| woods and forests, but up in Ne
braska you keep feeling that you'll
see water over the next hill be-
cause at home that is the only time
one ever witnesses a dearth of
trees. AS we rode along we saw
snow fences in the fields, oil wells,
many trucks loaded with cattle
heading for the stOckyards, and or
chards of apple trees.
We rode and rode, and before
we knew it, we were $50 miles
from home and at Omaha. Outside
that big city we came upon Offutt
Air Base That's an important base
to us because Hayes boss lives on
that field. You see Hayes is in the
Strategic Air Command and Gen.

We drove in the base and found
