PROGRESS IN PRINTING Teletypesetters have attracted' much attention through out the United States in recent years. Teletypesetters, by punching tyipe to be fed into operating units, permit set ting of type semi-automatically. Although teletypesetters have been in existence for a number of years, their use did not become general until after the Second World War, inasmuch as companies mak ing the machines were engaged during the war in defense production. In late years, however, newspapers hafe been turning rapidly to the semi-automatic tynesettincr process. Wire services, in- particular, are using the machines to distribute tape from central bureaus to member newspa pers in every state. The public probably thinks of this operation as being confined to newspapers and magazines. It would gain this impression because of publicity resulting from numerous labor disputes occasioned by organized resistance to the process. But the use of these machines is not confined to news papers. . , We learned recently of a new improvement and adaptation, outside the newspaper field, which affects mil lions of people throughout the country. Use of Personalized Checks has become quite common. Bank checks, bearing the name of the customer, require special printing. A number of firms provide this service. One such firm reports installation of a new special unit able to cast two styles of type in seven sizes out of four separate. magazines, thus tripling production. Labor costs, it is reported, are not reduced, except as reflected by greater production capacity. But bv faster service the company is enabled to handle more business. G-G-Ghosr Story . In The Day's News iContinucd from Page One) away part of my wmpany to my employes," no sum. NEW YORK m E. W. Stewart is one of those men who, when they scratch themselves, get gold in their finger nails; But like all millionaires he has a secret sorrow. "My wife won't let me buy a professional football team," he said dolefully. "And neither will my accountant." This has confronted him with the I '. firoblcm of whether, after all, it j plan, says he keeps salaries above s worth while making money If I iimse oaid bv competitors. a man can't indulge himself in the "I've Riven away literally given BUU)IB Ul UWIUllg inn UWll football team. Who wants to go through life just watching other people's football teams play? "Anybody with brains and the ability to drive ... drive ... drive can make a million dollars if ho puts his mind to it and shoves ev. erything else out of his way," said Stewart. "But the price you pay for success is high so high moat can t pay it. And it is very ques tionable whether It is worth it." Stewart started his career in St. Louis as a S15 a month dry goods salesman. He went on to fame and fortune as perhaps history's most successful salesman of wet goods bathing suits. He heads Catalina .Inc.. a beach wear firm which grossed 20 mil linn dollars this vear. of which Stewart personally sold one fifth in nation-wide air tours. He looks for a W-mlllion-doUar season next jear. "Girls now prefer more feminine ridach wear ... more frills and ruf fles ... less of that tailored, boyish look," he said crisply. One of his current models features rows of pearls around the bra. Another beach style highlight "sweet heart suits," or matching sets for a boy and his girl friend. Stewart has a private swimming pool on his Lemon Ranch in San Fernando vaney, u 9V much time selling beach wear he has never learned the Australian "I'd" Just as soon not talk about my own swimming," ho said wry ly. "I can dog paddle but at least I don't drown." He figures he never will learn to swim well until they put swim ming poo' airplanes, where he n-H much nf his time. "You have to sell your employes now before you even start selling your customers. Give me satisfied employes and I'll put over any and some times threaten them by telling them they'll have to lake it all "It doesn't make any difference who owns a corporation today- it's who runs it that's important." Stewart ia regarded as one of America's most astute promoters and salesmen, a reputation he feels overlooks a basic fact: "If I were really a good sales man, I'd be able to, st!l my wife on the idea of lettine me buy a pro football team. That is what I really want In life. You know I used to play guard in high school." That Is the trouble with being a millionaire. Like any average Joe. you've still always got one more goal to go. If we had a lot of money, we'd have ourselves a whale of a time if we didn't have to work so hard for the money." . More wishful thinking: At United Nations today, Rus sia's Andrei Vishinsky is scheduled to push his country's often reject ed peace package before the UN political committee. He has added the hydrogen bomb to mass de structive weappons he says should be banned AT ONCE. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? It reminds me of a painful but extremely useful experience of my early youtn. as a larm Doy, ra come in to the coun'y seat with a big round QUARTER In my pock et, in mose aays, a quarter wis real monev. The county fair was going on. and at Uie fair tcre was a carni val. Out in front of the carnival there was a city slicker with smooth tongue. Ho held up a watch. It was a beautiful watch. Then he started his pitch. It went something like this: "My company is in the watch business. We want to advertise our merchandise. We want to got our watches into the hands of smart, able people who know a good bargain when they see on. That is the kind of people we're after, for that is the kind of people to build a sound business on. "So I'm going to make a prop osition. Sec these cuff buttons? Well, I'm going to offer them for sale, and every buyer who gets up here with a quarter ljUlUK is going to go away from here a hap py person. I'm looking for people who arc able to act wisely and uicklv and I'm going to reward their judgment richly. Here we go. Who's first?" I was first. I passed him over my quarter ana sot my cult but tons. Several hundred other able. smart buyers followed me. All di vested themselves of their quar ters and acquired cuff buttons.. At the psychological moment, the cilv slicker gathered up him impedimenta, thanked us for our business, praised us for our acu men and departed with these words: "Wait and watch the mail. One of these days, ou ll find . some. thing in it that will please you very mucn.

He. finally came to the inp i.amn i iri Dins, ann ninpr ..... i ,.Kt DanKS oi a river inai iiowea wesi- the Camp Fire girls. youth organizations that are taught to emulate the American Indian character. But one does decry the fact that they have robbed our American Indian of his sense of humor, his boistcrousness and his love of fun. To many of our young people, an Indian was a person who never moved away from the camp fire, was always dressed in spotless robes of buckskin or buf falo, and never made a motion, except to raise his hand and say "Otigh." There were as many variations of personality among our Indians as there were among our white people of a generation ago, before they were moulded to a more or less uniform pattern through our so-cauea "socialized'' education There were dour Indians, happy ward. This river was so clear and beautiful that the Otters, a tribe living on its banks, called it the Beautiful River. A group of Otters took a peace pipe and Moncacht-Ape to a tribe down stream, who were to make a journey down this beautiful river to the sea, the Pacific. They lived with other tribes who had homes on the river near the sea. Here he learned that ships bearing white men came here to trade, and that there was a strange white race of small stature who wore long flow- ing beards. These people came to the coast to get a certain dye wood. They fought the local na fives, and Moncacht-Ape took part in one of these battles where the Interpreting elections is always an exercise to be indulged in with cautuyi. But it sometimes is a bit easier to say what they do not mean than to venture what they do mean. That would appear to noia true for the Democratic victories in Wisconsin and New Jersey. Strongly conservative Republi cans, like Ren. Clarence Brown of Ohio and Rep. Daniel Reed of New York, have ascribed these uDsets to the administration's al leged failure to follow a more con servative line. Says Brown: "In 1952 people vot ed for a change and they don't feel that they got it." Reed, who tried In vain to have Congress cut taxes this year, says: "I tried to tell them what would happen." The hard facts simply do not support this theory. If the people wanted more conservative policies pressed in Washington, it would seem reasonable to suppose they would have voted for conserva tive candidates. In both the 9th Wisconsin and the 6th New Jer sey congressional districts, con servative Republicans ran. And they lost. ' In Wisconsin, the winning Dem ocrat campaigned with promises that he would pursue the progres sive policies of the late Represent ative Hull, his Republican prede cessor. He said, too. that he would sunport President Eisenhower. In New Jersey, the same record was played. The Democratic win ner, Harrison Williams, pledged himself to back Mr. Eisenhower and to carry on the liberal policies of Clifford Case, the Republican who had vacated the seat. It is true that Williams' oppon ent, George Hetfield, suffered from an organizational split in ms dis trict. And he may also have caught some of the backwash from the statewide sweep of Robert Mey ner, Democrat, in the governor race. Nevertheless, by their, votes the people in these areas gave definite indications they did not Tavor a more conservative line. It's hard to see bow Brown, Reed and others could conclude from the returns that they did. Evidently the party's most con servative elements never have ac cepted the view widely held by disinterested political analysts that the 1952 outcome was a powerful endorsement of Mr. Eisenhower but not of the GOP, which just barely took Congress. They seem to assume the victory was tneirs as much as his. All signs suggest that in 1952 the voters indeed wanted a change. They were unhappy over Korea, inflation, the draft. .communism in government, spending, curruption. But they gave no indication they wanted a "revolution in reverse" that would wipe out their past gains. Had they endorsed the standard views of conservative Republicans, they presumably would have in stalled the-GOP in Congress by whopping margin. They did not. Nor are they giving any cue now that this is what they want. Guard Protect Lodge From Puerto Ricans UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. I The armed police guard on U. S Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's Waldorf Astoria Hotel suite re portedly ia there to protect him from Puerto Rican nationalists. An informed source, who asked that his name not be used, said last night that Lodge himself had requested the 24-hour guard about ID days ago. DRESSMAKING And Alterations ( ZOE NEWMAN 925 Cobb Stre.r ; Phone 3-7125 Indians, responsible Indians and! strangers were driven away. irresponsible ones. There were na tives who loved the stillness of the forest where fhey could ponder the meaning cf life and there were others who loved the war dance, gay parties end a chance to brag. Yes, they were human. The spirit of adventure was as evident among the Indians of yes terday as among those young men who risk their lives in climbing Mount Everest or shooting down' the Snake River In a skiff. But among the legendary characters of Indian lore there is no other to compare with that of Moqcacht Apc meaning "He who over comes difficulty or weariness." Moncacht-Ape, so the legend goes, longed1 to know where his forefathers' had come from. It is significant that in the pursuit of this information, lie went toward the west. He came from some where near Natchez, and spent seven years wandering along over tile North American continent. He went fitst to the St. Lawrence, then to the Atlantic and then we n ward until he reached the Pa cific. All the men he met were friend ly, giving him food and shelter as he passed from tribe to tribe. He traveled up the Missouri River un- The Beautiful River that Mon cacht-Ape found and fellowed to its source was supposed to be no other than the Columbia. While there are many discrepancies in the legend, the fact remains that where there is a legend, there is a basis of fact behind it, albeit de tails are often distorted. This Marco Polo of the Indians gives evidence that our., natives really got around. The long trail that leads from Canada to south ern Mexico along the Cascades and Sierras was never made by the wild animals of the region, it was possibly established by a race of men before our Indians, but out modern Indian followed the same trail in his travels. Our In- dians really got around. employes Steward rewards his ss-year em !.,.,, nri their wives with I free month-long vacation In Hono lulu, ha company-paid pension Canyonville Baptist Group Organizes WMU The Canyonville women of the Baptist Mission met recently with tho Women's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Church, Phoenix, to organize a WMU in Qanyonville.
