"The reason is attributed to the fact that older papers were printed on ragpaper," said Mrs. R. L. Merriwether, as sistant librarian. The New York Times and The London Times have three copies of each paper printed on ragpaper, Dne for their files, one for the Congressional Library and the third for the New York Public Library. The usual method of newspapeil preservation is the microfilm sys tem. The film reduces the size of % page. When the pOocess is com plete it becomes necessary for the reader to place the small roll of rilm in a projection machine which magnifies and projects. The other method of preserving the newspapers is to photostat the paper 100%, or slightly reduced, at which time a magnifying glass must be employed to read theo type. The South Carolina Library em ploys both methods of paper pres ervations. The State and other state newspapers are being filmed or photostated by university stu dents. The film and photostat paper give the daily news a greater life expectancy than the perishable pine-pulp paper on which it is pub lished. The films are stored in steel drawer cabinets in fire-proof stacks at the library. The photo stat copies are bound monthly and placed on newspaper racks. Both preservation processes pro long the usefulness of the paper by occupying less space than news papers in their original form. Sigma Chi's Hear District Practor Dr. Roy B.
