It takes all week to set up the matter for the paper. Press secret­ aries should kindly note that reports of meetings held on. Friday, for instance should be in the printers’ hands by Sat­ urday, or not later than Mon­ day. The last day or two be­ fore press day tile linotype is busy setting last minute news so that it is usually diffi­ cult, and sometime® impossible to handle press secretaries* budgets which should have been in the printers’ hands sev­ eral days earlier and which cannot be given precedence over late news. The hot news must be handled if possible. In the rush of press day, items that should have been in hand earlier in the week are the ones that are left out.
