For 'Open House' Tonight
Between 7:30 And 10 P. M.
Preparations have been com
pleted by The Mountaineer statf
for "open house" tonight tThurs
Jayi from 7:30 until 10.
Every phase of newspaper pub
lishing will be shown those visiting
the plant tonight.
The three linotype machines
ihe complicated pieces of mechan
ism. with lti.000 moving parts
will be in full operation, and each
person visiting the plant will see
I heir name set in a slug of type.
The operators of the machines
will take time to explain how copy
is transferred from a typewrit
ten sheet into metal for printing.
A similar operation, which is
fascinating is the Ludlow, which
makes large type in the twink
ling of an eye. This type is used
for advertisements, and headlines,
(such as the headline over this
article).
The mysterious electronics ma
chine which transfers pictures in
to printing plates is expected to
gel a full share of attention as will
the speedy automatic proses in
Ihe printing department, which
print sheets of paper at the rate of
5,000 per hour, counting, drying,
and stacking the sheets as it goes.
The sterotype room, with its
half-ton pot of molten metal, is
literally the newspaper's kltcher^
The 16,000-pound press on w hich
this new spapcr is printed, w ill
turn out papers at the rate of 55
complete copies per minute, as
visitors look on tonight.
A tour will he made through
the news, advertising, and photo
graphic departments with visitors
getting a look-in on the dark
room, and under lights, get to see
how the work is done by touch.
Refreshments will be served in
the pH-ss '.Worn, where Ihe mailing
tables have been covered with
conventional newsprint for the oc
casion.
The publishers and staff have
planned for this event for some
weeks, and look forward to having
the public see the many operations
of producing a newspaper.
The "open house' 'program is
being staged in connection with
National Newspaper Week.
Tonight,, the Lions Club will
bear an address by Stanley Moore,
editor of the Morganton News
lferald. This will be in keeping
with the week. Last week Rotar
ians here heard Weimar Jones,
