How many ,O Yftllave ever
been thro' a newspaper building
and watched the paper being
'put to bed'?
1, know that very few of you
have ever. taken the Um% to see.
to what it takes to put a newspaper
* together and get it out on time.
(Usually - they're too husy at
'that time Co show you.)
The printing of the news has
• changed a great deal in the41-ast
few years, but for a long long
time it was a real. chore and
there are enough people still
working at the Signal -Star who
can recall the headaches of the
, printing press before the
'improved' headaches were,
introduced.
The old "'Printers' would
probably make light of all the
intricate work whith took them
far, far into the night - for
many nights beforethe paper hit
the streets.
Well, you're thinking what
- brought all this otf?-1411 tell you.
I was' glancing thro' a
precious old copy of the London
Free, Press - fifth section of the
"Century of Western Ontario,"
dated June 11, 1940. One article
written by a very old man to an
A. E. Sutherland whom he
addressed as "Son of my
Ancient ,Master" and went back
at. times to 1848, I found very
fascinating.
One part that interested me
was the making of the printers
ink •which •was indeed a
started...at the .salary of per
wed with a 50 cent rase
promised in six months' —if he
rated it.
The business -of -printing a
paper quite often was done right
in the Printer's home and this
young man •had been sent 'to
attend the boilieg down of the
ink. It took hou&and hours and..
was made of oil, lamp black and
a drying compound and when
"done" was the consistency of
'West India Molasses.'
\\, I don't *know if it was any
thicker than some of the
TnOlasses I can remember but it
must have ben a real gucky
ess - and he said he tried to
h rry. up the thickening -process
b slipping 'in an extra handful -
of lamp, black. Luckily it turned
out well and he was allowed to
•' boil the glue and molasset for
the rollers - t hardshqii tl-Rt

appreciated the education.
- In 1850 he was so good at
'the case'. he was able to set
5,000 ems a day: By now his pay
'" was $2.50 per week, so he struck
out for a better paying job, What
happened from., then' on was
Most interesting and I know our
kids today would. say thgre are
fm_snch opportunities to learn
, WWI advance even if they
• WANTED to w9rk.
Anyway, he finally became a
•the fast changes, that have
happened in the last few years.
Feor- a few months John came
in after school and. did. the
Joe-boy4 jobs, but soon the
printers inkgot into his blood
and he was 'hooked. Luckily for
the, Signal -Star he -was a slugger
and smart enough to stay on
top I don't know how much
more than $2$0 a week he earns
- I mean.GTS beca,use'we
know he really EARNS •
but I hope the management
appreciate" that the "Printing"
business is the story of his life,
With these few words„ John -
you will either get a raise or get
fired but 1 can see your big
smile no matter,WHAT happens.
Love „Martha.
