Dale Newton, recently retired from the printing bus iness, has not abandoned his interest in the graphic arts The printing press, now on display on the main floor of the Public Library of Med ford and Jackson county, was built by Newton. Since the library was source of much of the information he utilized in constructing the press, Newton thought the library was the proper place to ex hibit it. Judging from the number of persons who inspect the press, it was. The press is a reproduction of a 1828 model having one of the early toggles. The wood beams were shaped and the mortices and tendons cut, using only a hammer, chisel, saw, auger and wrenches. A local "Iron Monger" hand- forged the handles, brackets and crank, while a competent local lathesman turned the toggle parts in his machine shop, Newton said. May Be First Unit The press is the first unit in what Newton hopes may become a complete display including a printing office as it looked in the 1850's, when gold was discovered at Jack sonville. Jacksonville is the place such an exhibit should be located in his opinion. And he would like to see it in the building which housed Jacksonville's Table Rock Sentinel, edited by Col. Wil liam Green T'Vault. T'Vault was Oregon's first newspaper editor, having edited the Oregon Spectator in 1845, Newton reminded. Such a display, he stated, should include various types of printing, lithograph and engraving presses, tools and materials. There are no museums in the west showing the develop ment of printing equipment and materials as used in the building of western pioneer America, Newton stated. Another valuable inclusion (as Newton envisions the mu seum) would be a display and demonstration of bookbinding and illumination. A display outlining the value of library science would assist the view ers in locating sources of knowledge stored in books in local, state, and national li braries. Newton began his printing career as a printer's devil on the Garland Globe in Gar land, Utah. He stayed with the job 13 years. He set up two columns of "brevities" telling who got off, who got on the trains, and why. In 1943 he moved to the Rogue River valley and set up his own shop. He had been in the printing business 20 years when he recently sold out and "retired."
