6 A Printing Company Expands into Book Publishing A Medford printing com pany has expanded into book publishing with the recent publication of three texts (or use by the Lutheran church -Missouri Synod. Merville E. Morse, owner of Morse Press, Inc., 1511 North Riverside ave. and member of St. Peter's Lutheran church, first started printing church bulletins in 1951. His newest project is also for the Luther an church - Missouri Synod. The first, entitled "Adven turing in the Church," is a loose leaf confirmation guide book in a red plastic covered notebook. It was editored by William Backus, Paul Malte and Wayne Saffen and uses a liberal amount of black and white and light brown and white drawings. It is for youth. Two Other Books The other two books are for adults. They are "Life with God" by Herman C Theiss, a manual for the re ligious instruction of adults and "Perspective" by Backus and Malte, a guide for in depth growth In the Christian faith, Morse said that 25,000 cop ies of each will be off the presses by Aug. 1 A review of "Adventuring in the Church" in the March issue of the Theological Monthly, calls it "the best confirmation guidebook for our youth available in our cir cles. It is especially suited for the first year of confirmation Instruction." The review starts by saying that "there are many things to say about this manual for confirmation instruction for children - and they are all good." Guide Available With the book, a teacher's guide is available. The sym bolism and artwork is by Richard R. Caemmerer Jr. Morse's newest project is a pamphlet called "Get Ready for Church." Divided into eight sections, it prepares a person for the next Sunday's service through daily study. This publication, as the church bulletins, Is based on the ancient calendar which uses a prescribed liturgical form, and any denomination which follows that calendar may use them. The local print er said that he is aiming for 100,000 weekly distribution of the pamphlets. The church bulletins, which Mors started printing in 1951, were a "first" to use the symbols used by the church through the years. Now five large publishing houses are printing similar church bulletins, Morse ex plained. Although he still sup plies some 400 Missouri Synod churches in the United States and Canada, he added that he is having trouble coming up with new ideas for It. Cutting Back in Fiald "I am cutting back In this Held, Morse stated, as we now need only ft to 10 days a month at the shop to print them.

Among his equipment, in glues, puts on the covers and folding machines, is a Mina- binda, the only binder made by the English firm on the West coast. No sewing is re quired when It is used, Morse explained, since the machine glus, puts on the covers and binds the book all in one op eration. This is the same pro cess by which paperbark books are made, he said. The Medford printer stress ed that he does little local printing, only for those cus tomers he has served for years. The majority of his printing goes into material for national distribution. $(5)35 Per week for 1 A2$ toot in - the - rjround nonl I a r o r sire avaiiahle. to Grants Pais, toward Medford right at top of hill , p.
