I 1 ' I SAUNOOK I iy To A Newspaper Office Ed- Noti The following composi-I lion by Clyde High School Btuaenvs ' we had hoped to print '"before now, out . re unable to do so because of other pressing matters. MY I-'IKST VISIT TO A NEWSPA PER OFFICE (English Theme) Kv (iladys Ford, Clyde. us was a nameplate for each visitor which ' the linotype operator very kindly made for us, and pleas and memories of the courtesies shown us by the staff. This morning, each member of the class received a copy of the paper containing an item about our visit. THE Since we have been studying news papers, how news is gathered and ar ranged affording to its importance, and the construction of a newspaper, we tjuitf naturally, wanted to know how a paper is printed. We l.y which I mean the mem bers of the Senior class of Clyde High School learned about this in teresting phase of newspaper work on our visit to the office of The Waynesville Mountaineer, a weekly .11 i i , II' Ml.. newspaper pu till.sneu at vvayiieaviiii.. N. ('. We were courteously received and shown about the plant by members of the staff, who very kindly explained the details about the interesting things that we saw. The first, and to me the most inter esting of all that we saw, was lino tvne machines that cuts the letters in metal. The linotype has a keyboard and tiperatos somewhat like a type writer- When the operator hits the keys, the letters indicated fall into a rack, and when the duplicate letters are cut in the metal which is heated to about 500 degrees, a lever carries the Jotters to the top of the machine and each letter returns to its right place. Then the lines of type whicji have been cut into the metal, are placed hi a irame tne size oi a page of a news paper, - in the order in which a printed page appears, and tightly fastened, for if the type Rets jum'bled the entire frame might have to be recast. After the frame containing . the type has been proof-read, it is sent ilow n stairs to the press, where it is fastened into the machine and inke'u by rollers, . We were; told that four pages of the paper run off the press at the same time. When thev a re PRINTING OF A NEWSPA PER . (English Theme) Kv Jessie Chambers, Clyde I Among the forces that have worked for Droirress in civilization, none is of greater importance than the mod ern newspaper. In point of both literary and mechanical perfection, the America newspaper stands su preme. The American newspaper is the "best exponent of the freedom of the press, and in its fearless attitude in all matters, serves the public with a unique and honest loyalty. While everyone is aquainted to a great extent with the salient pro gress of American journalism as ex emplified in any of the thousands of American newspapers, few of the people are acquainted with the pro cess of printing the pages. Few peo ple get the opportunity to learn any of the interesting details connected with the production of a newspaper. Our suprise, delight and enthusiasm upon learning tnat we were going to be given the opportunity of visiting a newspaper office, can easily be imagined- What would be the first important thing to learn in this interesting es tablishment Well, we soon learned that it was the linotype machines. These machines have keys on them resembling tho keyboard of a type writer. The operator always has an exact copy, of .he article which he 'wishes, to type. Then be touches the key 'of the letter of Which he wishes to make. This cuts the letter on metal. The letters arc always up ::ide down and 'backwards in order that they will be right when appear ing on the printed page. The metal, upon which these letter are cut, is remolded and used again. After be- mi' thus; used several times this the papers have been printed I mu?t have certain acids mixed run through a machine whichj . . .. . . . n , , . folds them neatly. The names of the ,-when the operator has finished' suscnbers are stamped on the pa-j Qr th(J articjc th type persVJ v means ot a listing machine! js pro()f rca(, oJ. eorrectcd , nnd ;f and the;- are then ready for mailing. tli(,r(i js a mistake in any ' word the We were told a very interesting . ,- ,)w. hpf .,..: So. if can clearly -be seen that newspaper print ing is no small matter and that it is not half so easy , as many people think. L When all the new has been proof read it is classified, that is, it is di vided into several classe?, each class making up different pages of the paper. When the news Is classified the pages are made up. The making r.f each page of the paper is a unique process. The news type is arranged in columns. These columns are placed in a metal frame, the size of one page of the paper, in such a way that it is impossible for any word to get misplaced. The columns are also placed in the order that they appear in the paper. When the pages if the paper are made up they are ready for the printing press. The frames containing one page of the paper, are then lowered to the press room and placed in the press.; Four pages of the paper are run off the press at one time. This press runs smoothly be cause of an air chamber located in it. A large ink roller rolls over the four and puz.lmg thing concerning the rollers wnich ink the type. The roll ers used in summer cannot 'be used in winter because they get too hard, and those used in winter cannot be used summer because they become too soft-j This was puzzling to us. In one corner of the press room Was a small press which is used for printing forms, advertisements . and the like. The letters in this press are picked, out and set up by hand. . Among other things that we saw were the mats for advertisements and pictures. These mats are made-by pressing together 16. sheets of tissue paper over the. form to be printed. These cardDoard molds or "mats" are then sent to the different newspapers desiring this advertising service. The picture is reproduced by pouring heated metal over the mold and then inserting this metal, impression in the paper. The members of the Senior class en joyed their visit and the interesting things seen and learned- Among -he souvenirs which we carried away Announcement THE TAXI STAND LUNCH ROOM I have leased the Taxi Mand Lunch lioonx and cordially invite the public to let me serve them.

Be near me when all else is from me drifting Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine. And kindly faces to my own uplifting The loye which answers mine. I have but Thee, oh Father! Let Thy spirit Be with me then to comfort and uphold- No gate of pearl, no branch of palm, I merit. No street of shining gold. Suffice it if my good and ill unreck- oned And both forgive through Thy abounding grace, I find myself by hands familiar beck oned, Unto my fitting place Some humble door among Thy many mansions, Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease And bows forever through heaven's green expansions The river of Thy peace. There from the music round about me stealing, I fain would learn the new and holy song And find at last beneath the trees of healing The life for which I long. John Greenleaf Whittier.
