SMALLEST PAPER
Meet Seth K. Vining, publisher of
what is billed as "the smallest daily
newspaper in the world."
Mr. Vining, who has served as prin-
ter's devil, printer, reporter, editor,
and publisher during his journalistic
career,established the publication in
1928 and says it has brought' him a
wide reputation.
The paper is FA by 8% inches, It
is known as the Tryon Daily Bulle-
tin.
It has more than 900 subscribers,
including readers in distant parts of
the. United States, in Europe, Asia,
and Africa. From childhood, Publish-
er Vining relates, it has been his
ambition to own a newspaper
He was born in Eufaula, Ala., in
1899 and while attending the public
schools there he became a printer's
devil at the age of 12 on the Eufaula.
Daily Citizen.
Dir. Vining says his first attempt
at publishing his . own paper was in
1916 when he brought out a weekly
about twice the size of the present
one. It lasted for one month and
failed through disagreement with the
owner of the plant. Ile said he work-
ed as a printer in Montgomery, Ala.,
and, Quincy, Fla.,. until 1919, when he
took over publication of the Hurts-
boro, Ala., Tribute and operated it
more than a year.
While attending Piedmont Acad-
emy at Demorest, Ga,, in 1920 he paid
his expenses by working in the print-
ing department of Piedmont College.
In 1922 when he entered the college
as a student, he was made superin-
tendent of ,the college printing de-
partment and was elected editor of
the student newspaper.
In 1924 he established the Cornelia,
Ga., weekly, The Northwest Georgian
and published it two years. After a
year in• Florida :and Hendersonville,
he went to Tryon, N. C.
The first edition of the Bulletin ap-
peared Jah. 31, 1928. ' It' had four
pages. Mr. Vining said it was print-
ed on a press so small that only two
of its pages could be printed at a
time. The press was operated by a
foot treadle.
The publisher said he expected at
the time to issue the paper only a
week or two, to get sufficient adver-
tising revenue to bolster his job
printing business. But the public re-
aponse, he said, bewildered him and
he has not stopped.
After seven months of free distri-
bution a small annual Subscriptionprice was adopted. In 1934 Mr. Vin-
ing bought the Polk County News, a
weekly he since has published along
with the Bulletin: He also finds time
to participate actively in the com-
munity civic' and religious life.
Although The Bulletin has corre-
spondents
in Africa, England, Cali-
fornia, and many faraway places
through interested subscribers, it is
the little happenings of everyday
life in the community that makes up
the paper's principal appeal. One of
the most widely read features is the
column, "Curb Reporter," which Mr.
Vining writes daily.

BARRIE'S LAST PLAY
•
I Wednesdaf, April 5, 2.00 to 2.50 p.m.
EST from the studios' of B B C in
London. The scenes chosen deal with
the meeting of Saul and David, and
the killing' of Goliath.
When "The Boy David" was orig-
inally paodueed at His Majesty's The-
atre, London, in 1936, it attracted
special attention for two reasons:, to
dramatize the Biblical story of David
war in itself a surprising experiment,
but even more unexpected was the
casting of the famous actress, Elisa.
beth Bergner, as David. As to the
success of the experiments, the critics
were divided in their opinions.
Barrie, who was born in 1860 and
died in 1937, began his literary car-
eer es a novelist and did not write
his first play until 1891. The charm-
ing comedy, "Walker, London", pro-
duced in the followingyear, was his
first '•success in the theatre. The
immortal '"Peter Pan" took the stage
in 1904, to bocome an annual feature
of London's Christmas entertain-
ments, and there followed a series of
successful comedies:"Quality Street"
"The Admirable Orichton", "What
Every Woman Knows" -that estab-
lished Barrie among the foremost
playwrights of his time.
