A Tree Grows In Waynesville With Very Strange Fruit ?1 The colden apples of the Hes perides couldn't have caused any [ more speculation than the yellow ;' what-have-we's now on display in | The Mountaineer's window.

Composing Room Has ComplicatedMachines And Skilled Workers Editor's note?The second of a scries of articles dealing with "Be hind The Scenes of Publishing a Newspaper". By AGNES FIT/HUGH S1IAPTKR SUff Writer II getting a newspaper story ready to bo printed is like prepar- i ing a big dinner, the artual*"print-l ing" is Jike watching one ol the i intricate figures of a top-notch | hand between the halves of a foot-1 Itall game. The story starts as a unit, divides into sections, scat ters oil in various directions and eventually winds up as a different ly arranged unit somewhere at the J other end of the lield. As soon as the reporter finishes writing, he stabs the page or more of tiie story itself on its proper hook back in the composing room, making sure that it is identified at the' top by the first line of its headline. The headline goes to the hook marked "Headings". If there is a picture, the print is laid beside the FairchiJd engraver The copy to go under the picture is stuck onto another hook marked "Cut lines". Now the operators of the vari ous machines take over. The hod.v of the story and the picture cut-! lines are set on one of The Moun taineer's three Linotypes. All three must he adjusted to the last milli meter so that their type will be the same height. These machines are roughly a cross between a type writer and a type foundry. Each one is made up of almost 16.000 moving parts, so delicately inter locked that a single human hair caught can jam the whole works. As many as eight or even ten dif ferent styles and sizes of type can be set by one machine. Unlike a typewriter, the Linotype does not strike an inked ribbon to make an impression. Instead it uses molten metal to cast brand-new type, a line at a time. This drops into a metal tray called a galley. When the galley is full- it holds a news paper column?the operator runs an inked roller over it to make a ' galley proof. This is a long narrow I sheet o( paper, just wide enough to hold the printing and to leave room on both sides for marking corrections. This proof sheet then goes to i mo proofreader, along with the original copy from which it wa* set. The proofreader indicates on the margins of the galley sheet any typographical errors, poor spac ing, faulty letters and the like. The Mountaineer's proofreader also keeps a watchful eye open for er rors in the copy Itself.
