PRINTING WEEK, JANUARY 14 TO 20
Benjamin Franklin, whose influence upon America
in colonial days, is America’s patron saint of printing.
Upon his tombstone, he requested “Printer” to be added
to his name, the only thing to which he claimed great
ness, in his own estimation of himself. Born January 17,
the printing industry of America observes the event by
pointing out “Printing Week” during January annually.
Any school child remembers how Franklin left his
native Boston, afoot, and arrived at Philadelphia, there
to establish “Poor Richard’s Almanac,” forerunner *of
the present day “Saturday livening Post.” There in the
city of Brotherly Love, Franklin became identified with
many colonial affairs, especially the writing of the “Dec
laration of Independence,” and our constitution.
Pnnring has always been known the the “art preserv
ative of all art. Look at the millions of b<x)ks, which
preserve the learning of the ages; look at the pictures
which train the youth today of the ways of yesteryears.
Printing is responsible for all newspapers which are
chronicling events that happen. Printing is responsible
largely for one of the world’s greatest industries—that
of paper making which, if stopped for one year, would
retard civilization for at least a decade..
Printing, like painting, sculpturing, or writing, has
individuality, personality, and charm. Our hundreds of
type faces of today arc results. Printing today boasts as
many artisans as do all other forms of art. The field for
the youth is less crowded in printing than in any single
line of endeavor known to man. Next to watch-making

The Korea incident (if I may
be permitted to use that term)
is something that looks like a
left jab at the chin, if a boxing
term is permissible in this place.
Russia, which deals with crime
in wholesale quantities, and the
truth in greater quantities, has
caused the ignorant Chinese to
carry the hot Chesnuts for her in
the Korean campaign. With 10-1
ration, and with no regard for
human life, the Korean battle is 1

U. N. forces trying to defend it.
Perhaps the military men are
better judges of what to do than
I could ever hope to be, but it
seems to me that we unll ever
go on making the same mistake.
Why isn't the Kremlin bombed
by all the power we can strike?
and with ill the horrible weap
ons we can muster? What mat
ters—if we are not in war now
then I am fearful if we should]
become involved in what is to\
be called a war.
If a felon troubles a bone of
your finger, the doctor takes a
knife, and goes to the bone—to
the seat of the trouble. Any li
censed doctor would not attempt
to use a poultice—or some ‘ap
peasing” method of treatment. In
Korea, the swelling from the fel
on infected by Russia, we are
poulticing the sore. Where is the
scalpel, or the knife? Where is
the doctor in this case?
8 Daggering are the lists of hu
man lives in Korea. Nothing is
learned of the Chinese, which do
not measure success in human
lives. Russia and China, two of
the most backward nations of
the earth have teamed up to
cause misery to the so-called in-
tellectiyal portion. What would
be the* logical thing to do —
sacrifice our mens' lives, or do
the job up quickly in a blasting
sort of way?
