York County Says
New Rule Burs
City Annexation

YORKTOWN, Va, Nov. 10.
York County is claiming pro-
lection from annexation under
provisions of recently enacted
amendment to State law.
Defense attorneys, in filing
an answer to Williamsburg's
suit to annex Sc square miles of
Bruton District. contend the
annexation would reduce the
land area in York County to
below go square miles.
The recently amended State
law provides that annexation
cannot take place If it reduces
a county below so square miles,
unless the parent county is &C.
quired.
Inc law excludes all govern
ment-owned property from the
60-square-mile limit.
w. Martin johnson, who tes-
titled for Williamsburg Friday
morning in a pretrial confer
ence, said York still would re-
tain SIS square miles of terri
tory If the annexation of the
land is awarded.
The court ruled the burden
Is Williamsburg's, but did not
set a method to determine the
square mileage. A possible sur
vey was discussed. Estimated
cost Of a survey was placed at
about $4,000.
A hearing to review further
evidence has been set for

Began in Europe

In Europe there were ex-
periments with books un-
bound or bound In paper as
early as the beginning Of the
10th century. Soon after
movable type was devised,
printers realized that most
people would not be able to
buy books unless they could
be sold cheaply. Paperbound
books still form the bulk Of
current publications in the
Latin countries and to q
lesser extent in the Scan
danavian countries and Eng
land, which still prefer hard
covers.
There were paperbackS in
Colonial America, though few
of them have been preserved.
Since the 1830s they have
been an established part Of
American reading. During
the Civil War dime novels
were sent to the armies in
the field. One Of the popular
titles was Louisa M. Alcott's

Tales" There were cheap

one of the most significant

DR.. William G. Carr of the
