Out of 70 boys and girls in the two Grade Eight classes of the Bowmanvllle Public School, two girls. Marie Ferguson. daughter of Dr. and Mvrs. Harold Ferguson, and Nancy Mitchell, daughter of Mn,. Bennard Mitchell, won first and second prize, respectively, for the best essays written on their recent tour of The i5tates- mnan office. Prizes were donated by The Canadian Statesman. Whether this added inducement spurred on members of Grade Eight te betten than usual efforts i3 not known, but certainly the prize-winning essays are fine ex- ampies of good composition, keen observation and legible penman- ghîp. Teachers of Grade Eight classes are Mr. A. Merkley and Mr, M. Slute. FIRST PRIZE ESSAY (By Marie Ferguson) What I Saw At The Newspapen Office To the people of Durhafi County, the office of the weekly newspaper. The Canadian States- anan, and the friendly face of the editor, Mn. George James, are a familiar sight, but the roar of the presseÉ and the smell of prînter's ink are known to very few of The Statesman's readers. Recently the two Grade Eighit classes of Bowrnanville Central School made a tour of the build- ing in which The Statesman is edited and prepared for printing. The first roomn visited was the General Business Office. Whea an interesting event occurs, a local reporter secures informa- tion about the incident and re- turns to this office to type the copy. The editor then makes necessary corrections on the copy, composes a headiine. and speci- fies the size of type needed. Here, aisa. srnall advertisements, which appear in the Classified Ads sec- tion of the paper, are received. The next cail was paid to the editor, Mr. James. Over 600 small town papers are printed throughout Canada and many editors exchange their paperý-. Helpful ideas are obtained this way. Names and facts are the idols of every editor. The next room contained filing cabinets and a reference library and was also used as a reporter*s room. Mr. Sullivan, who con- ducted our tour, explained that one part of the file contained in- formation about people and an- other pictures. Another small room served as an advertising manager's office and contained large books of ads. When a local merchant wishes to advertise hîs wares, he picks out a suitable ad from these books. Mr. Sullivan led the w ayto a very small, very warm room where casting of advert.isements in lead was done. Large sheets of ads known as mats were kept in drawers for future use. Then came the mechanical de- partment. Slugs or small metal bars of letters are used in the linotype machines. The keys of these machines resemble those of a typewriter at a distance, but are arranged differently in a close inspection. The copy is typed into colums of lead letters. The letters can be produced in various sizes for headings and sub-head- ings. The metal columns are ar- ranged in frames, called chases, to form a page. Under great pressure a special cardboard in the form of a matrix is forced over the entire type surface. The type is now ready for printing by the Oshawa press. The Heidelberg and Little Giant job presses, used for com- mercial printing are very inter- esting machines. The printing of a paper is a cornplicated process. Many people do not realize this and presume that their paper just arrives in - - . GENERAL IRONS - TOASTERS KITCHEN CLOCKS - VACUUM CLEANERS STOVES. - RANGETTES Phone 438 ELECTRIC .

The essay was based on a visit of the 70 Entrance Class pupils to The Statesman Office, arranged by Principal A. M. Thompson, the subject being "What 1 Saw at the Newspaper Office."

Next week read your Statesmun with a true appreciation of the effort required to make its pub- lication possible. SECOND PRIZE ESSAY (By Nancy Mitchell) What I Saw At The Newspaper Office When the Grade Eight pupils of the Bowinanville Public School visited The Canadian Statesman office recently. I was amazed at the amount of mechanism used in printing our weekly paper. Each piece of work plays its own important part in the publish- ing of the news. In the General Business Office the news which has been gather- ed by local and rural reporters is assembled and taken to the edi- tor, Mr. James, for final inspe.- tion. News is also obtained by exchanging the many weekly pa- pers of different localities. The Classified Ads are also prepared in the General Business Office. The local and national advertis- ing, which is a very important part of newspaper publishing, is arranged in the Advertising Mani- a ger's office. The illustrations that are needed for good adver- tising are found in many large books kept for such purposes. Illustrations that already have been prepared are found on ma- trixes. The advertisements found in the books are set up in type and are pressed on mats. In the cast- ing room lead is put on these mats with great pressure ai-d heat. The finished sheets of lead have the impress of the adver- tisemerits on them. The Linotypes, which are large machines that have keys like a typewriter. make the lead type called slugs. These slugs are placed in frames, called chases, which correspond in size to our newspaper pages. When the- frames are filled with the slugs that the news is on, they are tak- en to a mat roller machine. This machine makes the im- pression of the news corne out on the mats.. These mats are sent to Oshawa to be printed on paper and arranged in newspaper form. They arrive back at The States- man office early Thursday morn- ing. The newspaper office also does jiob printing on automatic presses . .....

Before too long there may be an Overweights Anonymous based on the same prmnciples as the now famous Alcoholics Anony- mous. The successful resuits of an experimental group in the United States has impressed the American Psychiatrie Association. The idea is that the moral sup- port cornes in. Twenty-one women met to- gether regularly, telling each oth- er of their problems and encour- aging one another to stick to the diets prescribed by their doctors. The resuits were most gratifying. Thirteen women who attended eight or more of the scheduled 16 meetings lost 18 pounds, and a year later had maintained an av- erage weight loss of 17 pounds. As in so many other things nowa- days, the psychological factor plays an important part in the battie to lose weight. MUMMIES, OLD STYLE We realize that we are several laps behind most school children in that we had neyer been to the Royal Ontario Museum until tis week. We have wanted to go for a long time, but neyer seemned to have the time on flying visits to Toronto. One could spend days on end and only have a hazv, idea of by-gone civilizations and prehistoric animal kingdoms. Skeltons of the huge dinosaurs which once. between 18 and 40 million years ago (that's as close as they can figure it apparently) roamed the prairie province of Alberta, are awe-inspiring as they tower far above one's head. A different sensation, of the type which causes goose pimples, is apt to assail one on viewing the Egyptian mummy. To think that this man walked the streets of an Egyptian city about a thousand years before Christ was born, and is stili preserved for curious eyes to stare at in our mad century has the effect of making one realize what a littie drop in time our short lives are.

This was brought te mind by the attractive window at Joan's Beauty Center, where a bride in wedding dress and veil is realis- tically portrayed. For most people. a new permanent is at its best after it has had about two weeks to a month to settle down. So brides, and bridesmaids too, think and plan ahead. INDIAN TALK This year the palefaces are the acknowledged beauty leaders. By paleface, we mean that pearly skin untouched by rouge, with only a soft lipstick for accent. For the moment, the healthy type. the al-Canadian girl look, has gîven way to a becoming pallor, soft hair-do and general ladylike appearance. But-if your sk:n looks more like peaches without the cream, don't do it. Be your- self, toned down a little if you like, but if you look like a hag without color in your cheeks to brighten your eyes and hair, u.e it by li means, as skilfully as you can. RED CROSS OUTPOST Unsettled world conditions hav-- aroused increased interest in Red Cross wohien's work it was not- ed at the annual meeting of the Socîety's central council, held ne- cently in Toronto. Women's work groups made a total of approx- irnately two million articles of clothing, hospital and surgical supplies last year. In addition, goods for civilian relief in other countries were shipped to the value of $105,433. To encourage more nurses to undertake Red Cross outpost nur'- sing as a caneer, two bursaries of $1.200 each are now available to staff nurses who have served at least six months with the Red Cross. Nurses receiving these bursaries however. must agree to return for a further year of ser- vice. From the Junior Brandi of the Red Cross, gifts of clothing and medical supplies were sent ta less fortunate children in other lands to the value of $76,267. Handicapped and crippled child- ren have also received substantial aid through the Junior Red Cros-. This is surely a big step in the' right direction, for school child- ren to be learning the pleasurp which cornes from giving. Ur- selfishness and the desire to help others cannot be stnessed too much or too eanly in children's education, BROWN'S Oun Daughters' Sewing Club met at the home of Miss Doris Martin on May 19, with six mem- bers present.
