IFS HERE By CHARLES V.' STANTON It's almost like Christmas around the Sens-Review plant . . . excitement, expectancy, suspense, prying into packages, peeking at labels. The reason is that our new press has started to arrive. The first car has been unloaded and the second Is close behind. Within a fev more days, we hope, the job of erection will start. Then, after three or four weeks, if everything goes smoothly, we may overcome one more of the many bottlenecks holding back the style of publi cation we have been wanting for so many years. Not that we anticipate an end to troubles and problems, for, in fact, the change will bring about widespread alterations, reorgan ization, increased personnel, and shifts involving many headaches despite extensive prior planning. But we have been laboring under handicaps for so many years that it will at least be a source of satisfaction to have tools with which to do the job, even if the work is not accomplished immediately in the fashion we envision. During the war we were faced with serious manpower problems. It was impossible to fully staff any department. Then we had a most critical paper shortage, a condition not yet entirely relieved, although substantially improved. Despite lack of encouragement, circulation continued to grow until we were printing far more papers than our press was equipped to handle. Too, increased advertising demand, so great that we have not been able to accomodate nearly all requests for space, forced us into more pages and double press runs. Once our new press is installed and in operation, we will be in a position to grant more requests for advertising space, to accept an unlimited number of new subscribers for our circulation lists, and to print as many pages daily as con ditions may warrant, rather than being definitely restricted by equipment limitations. It was not lack of vision and foresight that kept us from beating the equipment limitations earlier. Our order for the new press was placed with the factory approximately two years ago, and we were informed we probably would be able to install the machine within a year. It is now approx imately a year overdue. The factory, however, set no definite delivery date and has had its own production prob lems, due to shortage of steel, shortage of skilled mechanics, Inability to secure deliveries from sub-contractors, etc. Aside from the fact that we will be able to give better service, the thing that please us most about procurement of the new press is that we can once again go out and in vito in new subscribers. Had anyone told us 10 years ago we would see the time when, as a newspaperman, we would bo rejecting advertising and branded him as a candidate for the nearest nut house. But we have seen those days too many of them and we sin cerely hope wo nuvcr see another. It the time comes when we can't feel pride in the paper with which we are employed and feel that we have nothing to offer readers and advertisers we'll get into some other occupation in a hurry. Our pride, however, has suffered in the past few years, because we knew we could improve our service if we could only eliminate bottlenecks. Wo have made extensive plans which will go into effect gradually rather than all at once. We hope that within a few months our rapidly growing family of readers will find the SeicK-Revlrio a larger and better newspaper than at present. It will take time to make our readjustments, but we will have improved equipment with which to work, and, while there may be a good many laugh spots as we alter our processes and enlarge our various departments, we be lieve the changes will be pleasing to our many subscribers and advertisers and that we will be better able to serve our community. We've been anticipating the arrival of the new press for many months and now that we can see it taking shape, and know that in a few more weeks it will bo ready to go, we feel much ns we did when, as a small boy, we waited for the single-shot .22 rifle we knew was coming at Christmas time , . . kinda goose-pimply.

How To Take On Weight During Food Cost Slash By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK-JA' One theory of history holds that emergencies produce the heroes to meet them. Thus a muddy street In England created the legendary deed of courtesy Walter Raleigh spread ing nis cioaK oeiore tne dainty feet of Queen Elizabeth. Walt acted quickly and coolly to meet this emergency but lost his head Utter In another one. From the Crimean war came Florence Nightingale and the de velopment of modern nursing. From the ruins of the 1919 base ball scandal rose a new figure big Babe Kuth, who helped rescue the national pastime. Holland was reported saved once by a small boy who plugged a hole in the dike with his thumb. History is full of such ex amples. New Heroine Arleee Out In Chicago the present em ergency the high cost of living may have produced a new Joan of Arc for budget-bothered house wives. This lady Is 22-ycar-old Mrs. Ruth Berbes, who last week launched a one-woman drive against present food prices by going on a "high cost of living fast. Her passive rebellion be gan after she was charged 26 cents for a quarter pound of butter. t Mrs. Berbes Immediately went on a diet consisting of five slices of bread a day and two glasses of milk. In the first few days she lost three pounds, she said other housewives were taking up the idea. Her program holds many In teresting possibilities. If it be comes popular American women will have to put even more padd ing In their clothing to retain the "new look," and that will pro bably cost more money than they saved by dieting. Stingy bachelors will benefit most. They will show up at their girls' houses with a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk and say: Let's stay home and enjoy a nice meal at home, honey. We'll fight this ol' Inflation together." Personally I think Mrs. Berbes is overlooking an even better way to reduce her grocery bills. She works at a drugstore soda fountain. I did this for two years during high school and found my worries about food costs were at an end. Personal Eaperienee When I took the lob I weighed an anemic 135 pounds and could hardly muscle up a gallon ug of chocolate syrup. Technically we were supposed to nay for any delicacies we consumed. But with me the public always came first From time to time I found It necessary to taste a spoon full of ice cream to see that Its flavor and consistency were proper for tne customers. 1 also regularly cheeked the marshmallow, the fudge sauce and the crushed pineapple. After two years the store man ager found that my wholehearted devotion to the punnc weitare was costing him about one gallon of ice cream out of every five. So he moved me over to the tohaccor counter. But 1 had gained 25 pounds. I hadn't bought any meals for months and months, and had money In the bank to start college. It Just takes Initiative to whip inflation. Bob Frank Sells Ranch To Woods Plant Manager Sale of R. H. (Boh) Franks' home and 80-acre ranch at Syl mon Vallev, on the Melrose road, to A. II.

Feb. 19 tPV De claring that building construction costs have risen "41 per cent less than the national average for all consumer's products," Edward G. Gavin of Chicago declared yes terday that the Industry should stop apologizing and began brag ging. Gavin, editor of the American Builder Magazine, spoke before the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association annual convention. He attacked "bureaucratic op portunists" who he said advocate government controls of the hous ing Industry. In 1947, he said, "American home builder) finit'iied 650,000 homes as compared with 153,000 hovels that were finished In Rus sia under a system of controls." A. J. Huddleston, president of the Lakeside Lumber Company of Oswego, Ore., attacked "back of the-hand gossip" about the In dustry, and said: "We cannot help wondering whether this type of talk Is done to halt Inflation or whether It is brought on to promote new scar city which would Undoubtedly in crease the price of houses and force a public demand for federal control of the housing Industry."

NAME TELEPHONE - Supply of Meat Lowest Since '39, Value at New High WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 UP) America's meat-on-the-hoof sun. fily has dropped to the lowest evel since 1939. An Agriculture Department I report said the number of cattle, ; hogs and sheep on farms all went ' aown aunng ihi. &o am tne number of chickens and turkeys. These are meats being grown for the market and the breeding animals which must supply the future's meat. Livestock numbers went up during early years of the war. Prices were rising and farmers wanted to produce all the meat they could. A peak in numbers was reached In 1943. Then help got short. Farmers could not take care of so many animals. A decline In numbers bog Ii and has continued. On Jan. 1, the number of ani mals was four per cent below what It was a year earlier. It was 16per cent under Jan. 1, 1944. The department said the con tinuing decline is due to various causes including: 1. High prices for meat. This encourages farmers to sell cattle and hogs. 2. Reduced feed supplies and high prices of feeds. This discour ages farmers from keeping and feeding livestock. Although numbers were small er, the farm value of livestock and poultry on Jan. 1 was at a record $13,451,000,000 due to high prices. This value was 12 per cent above last year and 90 per cent above the 1937-46 average. Immediste Delivery Jones Orth Planer Heads & Milled Bits ALL PATTERNS . . . tWd tdt. Jolnt.r HMdi, Slnsl.
