What It Takes To
Make A Newspaper
For over half a century my life has
been pretty cloaely aatioclated with
newspapers hut. st'rango an It may
seem. H n-malnml for an Incident of
one day lust week to cauae me to
think of the many component parte
entering Into the making of a new*paper...
the ewlrl of a passing automobile
caught up a page out of a
pa|wr which lay In the roadway...It
was carried along a few foot and
watted to the aide of the road where
It quickly bocamo sodden in the water
and slush of the gutter... something
about the Incident sparked a train of
thought that led mo far afield and to
the conclusion that this pheet of paper*
laying us a drunken man In the ditch,
was the Ignominious end of the collaboration
of hundreds -yea thousands?
of different people... I thought of the
spruce and pine trees In Maine. In
northern New York, in Wisconsin and
in Canada. . . of tho lumber Jacks who
fell them, and of the teams and tractors
that haul them to adjacent
streams... and the rtvormon who
pilot them oil tho Spring freshets to
thh mills where they are converted
into pulp and later Into news print In
(.tie same or some other plant...the
tractors In the woods and enormous
pulp and paper-making machines all required
skllhsl engineers and craftsmen
to manufacture them...I followed In
my thoughts the transportation by
train or truck of the paper in rolls or
sheets from the mill to the paper merchant's
warehouse or direct to the
newspaper, with another coterie of
men involved in tho process- . and
thus wo have the white sheet which Is
the foundation of a newspaper.
Next I envisioned the editorial
rooms of a daily newspaper with a
multitude of employees from the managing
<slltor down to itho copy boy,
each and cvecvoUc working under tho
stress of meeting the deadline on tho
first edition... rewrite men In booths
are scribbling down notes of a teleI
phone call from a reporter at the
I scene of a flro or accident, the clack
of the typewriters vies with tho
staccato notes of the teletypes, copy
1m?.vh are hurrying completed stories
from 'he writers to the different editors
to be blue penciled of verbiage or
approved "as Is"... the headwrttors
have their fling and off the copy goes
to the composing room where it Is
rapidly eaten u.p by the battery of
typesetting machines... tho teletype
machines bring In thousands upon
thousands of words from all parts of
the world, assembled and distributed
by press associations and news gathering
agencies... from tho teletype
sheets the editors select In accordance
with their comprehension of reader
Interest In their particular field... a
ten Hue ftem from Singapore may I
have l>een editorially handled by a
dozen people before it became a part
of your newspaper.. .closely associated
with tho editorial part qf a newspaper
Is the engraving or picture department...
this Includes the camera
men and the engravers who convert
the pictures Into the zinc or copper
i plates from which the pictures are reproduced
in th? paper... there Is still
another department without which no
newspaper could long exist and this
is the advertising department, with Us*
managers, solicitors and layout tneu
Tho mechanical part of a newspaper
has ever been to me the most Interesting...it
is here that the largest
number of people cooperate in making
the newspaper... the typesetting
machines are almost human in their
accomplishments, and here again my
thoughts rumbled to the many activities
involved not only In these
machines hut hack of them..I
thought of the lend mines and of the
conversion of the ore Into the refined
metal. J hen. too. there is The tin t hat is
added to the lead to give it fluidity as
it pnss??s from the melting pot through |
rite mouthpiece and against tho
matt rices that contain the letters 'hat
mould the words. . ..1N0 there is anti- j
motiv that It.is to he added to give the

stand up under the pressure of the
powerful mat-rolling press .there

A TRIP TO FLORIDA IN 12 PARTS
(Pert One)
?About tho middle of February I
found myself overstocked with
nerves, my digestive apparatus refusod
U> function properly, and upou the
Inst ructions of my doctor, IUecijled 10
take a 2 weeks vacation without pay.
I think my condition was normal for
a man /jvho la trying to make a living
by working with tho present stress
and distress surrounding him: 1 had
been suffering some from an-ov?rdrafiat
the hank and from reports brought
In by our salesmen which are played
on 11 flat with tho following words:
"Ho said he would give us a nice
check next week". 1 have often won.dered
when 1? next weok. My trouble
was physical? mental, financial and
Imaginary.
?We packed up everything of a portable
nature on Friday afternoon, but
had some trouble getting so u%any
grips ami suit-cases Into our car. Wo
drove away from home with every
sjngle thing necessary to bo gone 6
months except financial support: aftor
checking the contents of our pockets
and phoning the bank to ascertain our
status there we concluded that while
our paraphernalia would care for us
many months, our spondullx In sight
and out of sight would feed and sleep
and gas us for only about 10 days, or
two weeks, at best.
The head-ofthe-house chose to drive
tho car. Sho ranks ace-high as a fast
and safe speed 1st. Everything went
along smoothly until an old rooster
decided to fly across the road In front
of us. We were making 70 m. p. h.
The rooster was possibly hitting 'em
around 4". He and we came Into sudden
contact. His body tore away our
license tag holder, knocked one headlight
into kingdom-come ($4.10), and
removed about 5 square Inches of
paint from our right fender. But our
car picked him clear and clean, and
dressed him for the pot and left his
remains In such shape as to bo used
for hash without further ado. Our
next trouble came when a rear-door
flew open and broke the holder and
bent the hinges ($3.75).
?Wo spent the first night In northern
Florida where we shlvvered from sold
just as much as wo did at home. We
found good roads.Soma were full of
Jazz and swing, humps and bumps,
upheavals and depressions, cows and
calves (always trying to graze In the
middle of the highway where the cement
or tar Is thickest), pigs and
shoats, trucks and buses, slowipokes
and sensible-drivers. Many travelers
are wondering when Georgia and
Florida will pass a fence law and require
owners to keep -their live-stock
.off the thorough-fares. We drove on
till we choked down in front of our
"home-base" Sabbath afternoon at Ave
o'clock... in South Central Florida, a
paradise for folks with money and
Idleness on their hands who desire to
loaf away from home. (It knits poorfolks
like us also).
i A trip TO FLORIDA IN 12 PARTS
(Part Two)
Down Miami Beach way. as well as
in other affluent localities, you' see
and hear of the rich and the faltering,
such as the John U Lewises and the
A1 Capones and tho lenstoffs and the
other wheel-turners of finance who enjoy
a spell "away from it all." The
poor labor leaders seem to have so
much ready that it is difficult for them
to find anything nice enough for them.
?-Florida cultivates thre<* great crops
a year, namely: fruits, tourists and
vegetables?the second named being
tin- most profitable. The state is distinctly
democratic in the summer and
the fall i voting time), but it seems
-te-voly jw-pe.r cent republican in the
winter The natives have learned to
tirn their political coats in keeping
ultlt the seasons, and furthermore.
\ on don't hear them arguing about
'he Now Deal or the Old !>oal either.
They at-- 'tying their lev-d best to
\,. we!! Politics simply Hint.
(fane-' juice costs about as much
in Florida as it does in Boston. Grape 'rnir

i? ?. a 'I v n ;> <! all around the pump
at In rears. They have the 18-cents
kind, of course, but do recommend It:
however, they pump you their 21-cent
gas front the same pump that furnishes
the so-called IS cent - fluid.
(Note:'the boys do that at home, too).
There are plenty of visitors in Florida.
but it looks like too many folks
are trying to "eat and sleep" them.
Competition in that line is hot Food
is cheaper in the larger cities than in
the smaller towns. A 60-cent breakfast
at "Ozone Villa" is only 3.5 cents
at places whore skyscrapers scrape.
(Note: To keep the records straight,
there aint any "Ozone Villa" that I
know oft. Tho weather reports in
Florida newspapers never Ray?
"Cloudy and colder." They are nice
about it and say?"Cloudy and cooler".
Golf, dog racing, horse-shoo-pllchinc.
dock pool. and checker-playing
seem to he tho principal sports, but
they do tell that tho rolling of the
hones and the rattle of the chips can
Ih? heard In some high places, that is
if you have good ears and care to
listen. It costs something to set In"
so they say.

fire destroys old
georgia capitol
Milledgeville, Ga., March 23?The
old State Capitol building, a Milledgeville
landmark, was destroyed by tiro
tonight.
The structure, which had been used
as a classroom building by the Georgia
Military college, was wrecked by the
flames, origin of which was-not determined.
No one was in the building at the
time.
The flames burned out the interior
of the building despite work of the
Milledgeville fire department, aided
by apparatus from the State hospital.
The building was constructed In
1817.
No one was reported killed or injured.
One flro truck and five firemen were
rushed here from Macon, about 35
miles away, to help keep the flames
in check, while help from other communities
was ex-pocted.
The wind was not high but the firefighters
did not want the fire to
spread to a nearby barracks building,
which normally houses about 300
cadets, or a gymnasium building.
Neither was reported in immediate)
danger.
The old capltol building has been j
used during the last t>2 years as the ;
administration building for the school. I
The Milledgeville chapter of the]
United Daughters of the Confederacy I
lias been raising funds to restore a
cupola of the building destroyed by
fire some years ago.
The fire was first observed 'by a
clerk in a hotel across the street from
the G-MC campus. He turned in the
alarm, but by the time firemen could
reach the scene the building was enveloped
in flames.
He Dodged
It is said or a noted Virginia judge i
that in a pinch he always came out!
ahead. An incident of his childhood
might go to prove this.
"Well, Benny, "s said his father,
when iIm Lul had been going to school,
about n month, "what did you learn!
today?" !
"About the mouse, father."
"Spoil mouse." his father asked.

Another interesting angle in con##
tion with the ability of Peggy McGafe
Is that a Choster girl who was namtf

in tho game with Chester and Pegj
scored 25 points. And an Orangebwj
girl, also named as an all-state g\m
and who guarded Peggy in the gaat
Saturday had tho Camden girl aeon
22 points against her. Whon two ill
I state guards can bo scored on to th(
extent of 47 points in two games, it b
something to talk about.
Mary Pitts, another inenvber of tli
