of our everyday life. Think of all
the printing we encounter in an
average day, right ^from the morn-
ing paper. We read breakfast cer-
eal boxes, jar labels, bread wrap -
pens, calendars, street car tickets,
card posters, letterheads, invoices,
order forms, cheques, magazines,
menus, bank books, deposit slips,
sales slips, books, playing cards,
cigarette packages, catalogues,
greeting cards, hockey programs,
and so on.
Mighty force that it is today,
printing owes •its start to a man
who 500 years ago invented mov-
able type. Since then it has de-
veloped in size and scope until to-
day it ranks among the leading
industries of the nation.
The man who first made and us-
ed movable types was Johann
Gutenburg. In Mainz, Germany,
between bhe years of 1440-1450,
Gutenburg invented a way of mak-
ing large numbers of individual
pieces of type so they could be
put together to form words, para-
graphs and pages. The assembled
types were inked, printed on paper
in as many copies as desired, then
broken down and used again for
other pt'intin.gs.
As previous forms of the written
word could not be quickly dupli-

sated and had reached the ,eyes of
only a few, Gutenberg's invention
was revolutionary. His movable
types had made mass printing Pos-
sible.
One of Gutenberg's first tasks
was to make and set enough type
to print pages for the now famous
Gutenberg Bible. This was a gig-
antic job, but once all the type was
set prints could be made for distri-
bution throughout the land. To-
day, over seventeen million copies
of the Scripture are printed year-
ly, in 1,084 languages, for distri-
bution the world over. Process
and production methods have
changed but in most cases individ-
ual pieces of type are still used.
As early as 1539 printing was
first produced in North America,
Juan Cromberger, leading printer
at Seville, Spain, started a print-
ing office and contracted with one
Juan Pablos to go to Mexico.
The first printing in the United
States followed the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620
and printing types and processes
moved with the pioneers in open-
ing up new frontiers. In 1639 a
printing house opened at Cam-
bridge, Mass., in charge of Stephen
Dye, a former locksmith of Cam-
bridge, England.
The first printing in Canada was
done in 1752 when John Bushell,
of Boston, moved his printing shop
to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Twelve
years later William Brown and
Phomas Gilmore, both of Philadel-
phia, became the first fully authen-
ticated printers in Quebec.
During the last quarter century
the Canadian printing industry has
expanded remarkably. Holding six-
teenth position in gross value of
aroduction among Canada's leading
industries, it ranks fifth in number
of employees, and seventh in sal-
aries and wages paid.
Three basically different print-
ing, processes are used today.
Oldest commercially . (d a t i ng
from Gutenberg) and most widely
used is letterpress printing, the
transfer of irks from a raised type
or other. surface to paper.
Offset is a planographic, or flat
surface, printing process. Moisture
on the plate prevents the greasy

printing ink from adhering to any
part of the surface except the im
age, which accepts the ink. A
"kiss" impression then transfers
the image to a rubber blanket
from which it is deposited onto
paper. Offset spings from lithogra-
phy, a process discovered in 1793
Eby a Bavarian actor, Aloys Sene-
felder (who accidentally found
that a laundry list, written in
greasy crayon, could be used as
rudimentary printing plate).
The third main process, roto-
gravure, developed in 1895 from
the 450 -year-old intaglio process in
which an artist sketches lines on a
copper plate, etches deeper im-
pressions in the metal with acid,
applies ink to plate, cleans off the
unetched surface leaying the ink
in the depressions, then transfers
the ink to paper by pressure.
After Gutenburg's first wooden
screw-type model press, the print-
ing press developed .slowly. A
major step forward was the instal-
lation in 1813 at the London News
plant of the first drum cylinder
Press, a style still in use today.
Production was about fifteen times
greater than from the old hand
press., Then about 1862 an Ameri-
can named George P. Gordon cre-
ated a press which was copied by
manufacturers everywhere. (To-
day all classes of small hand -tied
presses are referred to as "Gor-
dons.") But letterpress presses
remained relatively slow until
shortly after World War 1. One
thousand impressions an hour was
average.
Then carne the automatic Print-
ing press, an achievement ranking
equal to the development of color
printing. These new high speed
automatic presses are used by let-
terpress, offset and rotogravure
printers. Speeds have jumped
from 1,000 impressions an hour
right up to 50,000 or more on large
rotary presses, However speed
must be sacrificed somewhat in
color printing, which requires care-
ful register work in printing one
color over another.
An automatic printing press op-
erates witbout the,aid of human
hands once the press is readied.
Paper is fed in at one end, either
in flat sheets or by means of com-
pressed" air or in rolls, is carried
through the press and delivered
fully printed (on both sides of the
sheet if required) aft the opposite
- end of the gess. There it le piled
neatly, fully dry, ready for deliv-
ery to the folding tnaehlne-or, as
, with newspapers, the paper comes
off the press already cut and fold-
ed.
Enriched by new blood and new
techniques, printing, artery of civ-
ilization—will .certainly continue to
influence human thoughts and ac-
tion for years to come, to carry
information and knowledge to
communities the world- over.
An Aid To Sickness
Doctors know that many people
actually worry themselves into ill
health. When they suspect they
may have a disease, instead of con-
suUing a doctor immediately they
worry and fume about symptoms
for weeks or months. In addition
to carrying a heavy load of worry,
these people also decrease their
chances of early cures by delay in
securing medical aid•
Foot Facts
Next to the brain, the foot is
perhaps the most highly specializ-
ed part of the human body, spe-
cialists say. But in spite of this,
many of us encase our feet in
.harsh, ill-fitting shoes, bend them
and twist them to the dictates of
fashion and generally abuse them
more than any other part of the
body. No wonder, doctors say, the
number of our foot ailments is
truly spectacular.

Hello Homemakers! When any-
one starts collecting receipes at
the age of nine as did Mary Eliza-
beth, a cousin of ours, her per-
sonal cook book is sure to include
interesting recipes. As we noticed
the dates under each paste-up of
a newspaper clipping, the girl's
first favorite food was cake and
cookies. About the glamous stage
of seventeen, copious notes were
made concerning salads and raw
fruit desserts. Then. coinciding
with the dates of Mary's marriage
preparations, there were pages of
main course supper dishes and now
she •is begging for recipes using
leftovers and for supper dishes
which may be part of a carried
lunch on the following day.
Here are three recipes for Mary
and two from Mary's file. Perhaps

MATCH YOUR FEEDING METHODS
TO FLOCK REQUIREMENTS
Although, through a year's
feeding, approximately equal
parts of mash and grain are
fed (by weight), actually the
proportions will vary with the
season ... the condition of the
birds . , . and the rate of egg
production. Scratch grains sup-
ply heating, energy and body
building properties -- Mash is
richer in protein which stimu-
lates egg production. If the ..
birds are losing body weight
on good egg production, then
more grain than mash should be
fed. If there is a lowering in
egg production, increase the
mash @onsumpfion.

The number of eggs a well -cared -for
hen ,will lay (up to the limit of her inherited ability)
DEPENDS LARGELY on her FEED.
Profits are determined on continued good produc-
tion, NOT on short term high production.
So feed a well-balanced, "freshly mixed" feed made
with National Egbilder to give your egg machines
the material needed to keep ° them vigorous and
healthy—and to build the
eggs week after week.
