The Idea Last week being Remem- brance Day, we decided that a feature story about a World War I veteran would be good reading material as well as timely. Before we go any further, the STAR would like to point out that no matter if it is an ad, taken over the phone or counter by Heather Short or Ruby Roach, a photo- graph takén on the street by one of our photographers, or an interviewed story, the process which is about to be explained to you is how. any of these items reach print. Now, back to our story, '*'Remembrance Day" feature. After a number of inquiries, the STAR report- er, Bruce Stewart, was final- ly informed of Mr. C. A. Glass, a World War One veteran who seemed like a possible candidate for our feature. Bruce contacted Mr. Glass by telephone and a suitable time was arranged for an interview and picture to be taken. Interview Upon arrival at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Glass, Bruce was greeted warmly and he began his interview. Mr. and Mrs. Glass reminisced for over an hour about their experiences during the war, and Bruce came away with enough notes to fill an entire newspaper if it was necessary. Now came the hardest part. After arriving back at the STAR's office, Bruce immediately sat down at his typewriter and began the story while fresh in his mind. Leafing through his notes, he began to eliminate the unessential parts, but trying not to leave out anything that might be of personal interest to Mr. Glass, or of general interest to the public. Typesetting A couple of hours later, the story complete, Bruce hands it over to Mrs. Dorothy Catton, our typesetter. The machine which Mrs. Catton uses for this process is a mddern photo-typeset- ting machine known as a by diel! RTL LLL EE (IRIE 105) ROLE LT PH: STH Vig CompuWriter. This machine reproduces the story into columns of type with justi- fied edges (even on both sides). From here the story is proofread, errors are cor- rected (at least, the ones we catch), and is then ready-for assembly on pages. Paste-up The type set copy is now pasted up on special sheets lined with a non-reproducing blue ink. Pasting up the copy is how we are able to keep the story in position on these sheets until it is photograph- "ed. Paste-up is done by Pete and Peter Hvidsten and Bruce Stewart. Camera The next step our story goes through is the camera. This is a large camera, the same principal as your own camera, but is much larger and is equipped to be able to shoot full size pages of newspapers. Mrs. Annabell Harrison does most of our dark room work and here she lines the pages up, photo- graphs, and develops them into negatives. When dry, the negative is then taken to a light table where all of the Annabell Harrison positions page on the camera for photographing. Opsuingo out the small flaws chvsed by dirt on the negative is done by Mrs. Harrison.
