CHICAGO PUBLISHERS
STILL PREFER REAL TYPE
Graphic-arts technicians meet
ing in Detroit late in June, the
Wall Street Journal said on June
80, “admitted major dailies aren’t
impressed” with “new develop
ments like typewriter contrap
tions marketed as substitutes for
typecasting machines."
“Speed must be set above
costs, 1 in big-newspaper opera
tions,” continued the Journal,
which quoted one of the techni
cians as saying that the standard
“multi-stepped printing operation
satisfies split-second newspaper
edition schedules—-and the new
'streamlined developments just
don’t do this."
Another paragraph, of interest
to members of No. 16 particulatly
and to ITU members generally,
is this: “Chicago newspapers,
strike-bound over a year and a
half, have been able to get by
with the type-like machines. But
they look forward to the day
when then can go back to the
old typecasting operation.”
Italics are the Picket’s. The
Wall Street Journal merely re
cited the plain facts about erstaz
newspaper methods.

WONDERFUL, QUIET JUNE
Enveloped by a mood impassioned with the quietude
of a slumbering woods and becalmed by the drowsi
ness of the warmth of June, Samuel T. Coleridge was
moved to write—
“A noise like a hidden brook,
III the leafy month of June
That to the sleeping woods at night
Singeth a quiet tune.’
Coleridge's thoughts of peaceful June are immersed
in a 20th Century sea of cataclysmic speed and care
lessness that would have challenged the imagination
of any 18th Century pen.
Yes, the woods may still sing of a brook in June—
but today we speak of man-made brooks that flow
through woods; concrete brooks—flowing not of water,
but of millions of unnatural devices called automobiles.
For this is the time that travel soothes the searching
The softness of a nation’s green pastures will be
pierced; trees, rich with life, will quiver with fear
and the highway will hum to the tune of roaring ve
hicles on vacation-bound jaunts.
This is the beginning of the glorious vacation period
when families will pack limb and belongings to seek
a few fleeting moments away from Life’s more tedious
tasks.
It will be a wonderful June and a quiet June. It
will be a wonderful June for those who drive with
care, and an unusually quiet for those '*2420 unfor
tunate being* who will die in unnecessary accidents.
