ThTOd.y. Jmnary 27. 1938 Many hours of toiling in subdued yellow light . . . Hours of eye strain watching small dots take form . . . Many pieces of film wasted ... Many chemical solutions poured down the sink ... And then—success of a sort. J*or we present here today our first halftone engraving, made in The Tribune plant. And if you will look carefully the young man you see in the picture is none other than one of Elkin's young men about town—Gene Hall. We made this photo tograph of Gene as he sat in our office, his hands wandering over the keys of the typewriter .upon which this is being writ ten. Gene, who is study ing journalism at school, has the makings of a newspaper man, for he hadn't been seated one minute before he had set tled himself very com fortably and was but a short distance from asleep. And that shows the true newspaper blood. A newsman can go to sleep anywhere anytime, and he cart do it and still keep his eyes open. This business of sleeping with wide open eyes is to fool the boss. However, when we take a no tion to snooze, in addition to doing it with our eyes open, we also turn our back in the direc-0 tion which he will most likely ap pear. Kindly keep this a secret, for we wouldn't want him to get wind of it. QEE them in "The Bride Wakes Up." And try SS them on your own table baked or broiled or fried. Read how to cook them in the new recipe H leaflet, "Banana Specialties." It also gives you other attractive ways to use bananas in main dishes, salads and desserts.

Examine it closely and you will see that the greater portion of it is made up of tiny dots. You THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, EUSXN, NORTH CAROLINA will notice that in the light places there are small black dots. Look closely In the darker parts that are not completely black, and you will see small white dots. It was this business of getting the picture broken up into dots that gave us many hours of head ache. In a regular photo-engrav ing plant, breaking a picture up into dots is accomplished by use of a camera. The picture to be made into a cut is photographed through a glass screen. But, hav ing no camera, we had to seek other methods of screening our negative. It took a long time, and we wasted much film, but we suc ceeded through use of a cellu loid screen which contained\ 3,600 tiny transparent dots to the square inch. By placing the orig inal negative of Gene on this screen, and then a process film over that and exposing it to the light for a second or so, we got a screened positive transparency, containing a majority of the tone contained in the negative. "Tone" is arrived at in the following way: Where the negative is thin or "light" the light goes through stronger. Naturally it penetrates the film that is being exposed to a greater degree than in places where the negative is dense. As a result, the small black dots that appear when the film is develop ed, grow larger in the light places, finally joining one another, cor ner to corner, to give a dark tone with small white dots. In the dense part of the negative, the light couldn't get through to the film very strongly, and when these dots appeared, they were small and did not join up, each standing out alone. This positive was dried* and then placed against another piece of unexposed film and given a short exposure. When this film was developed, it was in the form of a screened negative. This neg ative was then printed on a piece of sensitized zinc, and etched in nitric acid, the acid eating the tiny spaces between the dots away, leaving each standing up alone. These dots form the print ing surface of the plate, and there's Gene, printed in the pa per! But we wouldn't suggest that you try to make one yourself right away. Next week we are going to give you an article on how to break down an atom. «... j THIS AND THAT Which way, you folks who have been to town and gone through a revolving door, do revolting doors revolve? Well, they revolve to the left. Elkin's town papas, in the belief that they were saving money, erected cheap street markers here several years ago. Look at them today and you'll see them so rust ed they are hard to make out. (We mean the markers, not the town papas). All this excitement about spinal meningitis hereabouts would be alarming if it were not for the fact that there are no more cases now than is usual. ' What has proven unusual is the fact that three people in one family have fallen victim to the disease. And regardless of what you hear to the contrary, there is not an epidemic of meningitis, nor is the situation alarming. Somebody was spreading the report last week that it was heard over the radio that people of Elk ln had been advised not to leave the city limits due to the disease. People that talk a lot sometimes run out of truth—but keep on talking. MOUNTAIN PARK Mrs. Jim Lowe who has been ill at her home here, is improving, her many friends will be glad to know. Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Craig of Sumter, S. C., visited friends and relatives here over the week-end. Mr. and Mrs. Craig are former residents of Mountain Park. Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Gentry of Kapps Mill were Sunday visit ors of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Gentry here. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Callaway and children and Miss Catherine Shores spent Saturday in Mt. Airy. . • Mr. Early Harris left Sunday for Sumter, S. C. to take a posit tlon there. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Royall of Doughton spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Herman Thompson. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Norman of Thurmond were Sunday visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lowe. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Harris and children of Swan Creek were week-end visitors of Mr. and Mrs- Scott Nixon. Miss Bertha Byrd, a teacher in the school here spent the week end with her parents in Mt. Airy. A quartette from Mount Pleas ant Baptist church, State Road, ;N. C., rendered a programme of singing in the Mountain Park Baptist church Sunday night. Everyone who attended reports a very enjoyable programme. Mr. Lewellyn Gentry who has a position in Mt. Airy spent the week-end with his family here) Declined Insurance Salesman—"Rastus. you better let me write you an accident policy." Rastus —"No sah! ah ain't any too safe at home as it am." Yet war is logical and Inevitable so long as a sock on the chin is considered an admirable form of argument.
