PiMi WoNOERlMG IF THE FOR-FREE ENTER TAINMENT IS ON THE UP AND UP The Sun Came Out Fire-Damaged Las Vegas Newspaper Turned Rapidly To Substitution LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -There's an old saying down the street that no matter what hap pens, "The Sun is going to come out every morning." Whoever came up with that motto for the Las Vegas Sun in years gone by couldn't have realized now true a was, or how much work it would be to make the slogan come true, At 4:45 a.m. Nov. 20, an air conditioning unit above I h e newsroom exploded and a pre dawn tire swept tnrougii the building, destroying the plant of one of this city's two daily newspapers. Damage was set at $1.5 mil lion. Just about all that re mained at 900 South Main St. were 200 employes won dering about how the Sun was going to come out the next morning. The blaze had come just as the last copies of the final edition had been loaded aboard the circulation trucks. All Hands Help Executive editor Bryn Arm strong, still clad in his paja mas: managing editor Noel Greenwood and assistant to the publisher Rulhe Dcskin, carted what was uncnarrea to nirs. Dcskin's home where a tempo rary newsroom was set up in the garage. A darkroom was established (and still remains) in the home of another staffer. That night, the Sun rolled off the presses of the Las Vegas Review-Journal 24 pages, under the banner, "We Wuz Burned Out." The newsroom stayed in the garage (with one telephone) for a few days until it was moved into a tin circulation building across the alley from t n e burncd-out plant.

Sun publisher, was in Geneva, Swit zerland, when word of the fire came. He flew back and, after walking through the ruins, held a oriel stall meeting. "There's going to be a paper every day," he said. "And the Sun will be bigger and better than ever before." The paper rolled off the Review-Journal Press for near ly a week. Then the press run was switched to the Indio, Calif. Daily News almost 300 miles away and the present "air borne edition came to life. Takes (o Air A chartered (our-cneinn air. plane flew to Indio from here every evening with news copy and page dummies, then flew back again with copies of the Sun for home delivery. Job shops in Palm Springs, Indio, Banning and other Calif ornia cities were pressed into service, as were those here and in Phoenix, Ariz. For 10 days it went on. the ; paper slowly climbing back to ward its prcfire position. Fifty per cent ot the complaints tele phoned into the no .jronm from subscribers decried the lack of a comic page. Then, on Dec. 6, the Sun was printed in the Los Angeles sub urb of Vernon at the Southwest Wave Publishing Co. plant The press was bigger and the Sun the following Sunday hit the street with 50 pages a lot closer to the usual ion pages than the first "after the fire" edition of 24, "We're doing very well," says Armstrong, who came here ear lier this year from the Reno Gazelle. "The big thing right now is gelling back In sizo as soon as possible. "We're concentrating on get ling back to local news and right now we're running about even and still climbing." Hig Move Next The next step will be a move from the tin circulation shed into a soon to - be - completed building nearby which had been designed to expand the paper. Now it will house the entire operation except for a press ; room. j The "airborne edition" will I continue, perhaps for a number i ot months, until a new press ! can he installed. "The fire might slow us down for a couple ot days." added Grcenspun. "but we've survived greater onslaughts than lire and , this n't stop us for long." As a matter ot tact, the fire didn't slop them at all. Armstrong, loo, has survived ' greater problems. In ldfiO The Gazette press room flooded and. when the power failed, water began to rise at an alarming rate. Arm strong ordered a hasty retreat to a nearby job shop and ran otf a lour page (Her. complete with a storv ot the flood. Since the fire. Armstrong has had time only to change from his pajamas into street clothes and to marvel at the pertorm I ance of his stuff. ' Commented one public rcla I lions man: "This looks like a ; front line Stars and Stripes operation during the war." Feeding the Family ZOLITA ftod VINCENT Editor Sherried Walnut Nutcracker Sweet Rich and sweet morsels with an elusive flavor of Sherry wine, that's these sherried wal nuts for giving and lor keeping.

Dairy Eggnog Big Boon To Holiday Party Givers Long ago and far away in Merrie Olde England, eggnog was served only before break fast and again before dinner on Christmas day. That of course was long before dairy eggnog was readily available at local supermarket or left at door by accomodating milkman as re quested. Today, dairy eggnog skillfully blends milk, cream, eggs and flavoring; is chilled, ready and waiting in the refrigerator for offering callers at all times of day or night as well as for planned parties. It comes in eas ily stored, convenient quart con tainers. It keeps well. Freezes well, too. Kggnog Serving Dairy eggnog Is ready for serving "as is," half and half with milk or a wide variety of carbonated beverages (children love black cherry) and for add ing "spirits" according to in clination. Rich and satisfying, eggnog should be served only with thin slices of fruit cake and tradition ally with salted almonds. Never serve eggnog with canapes or other fancy foods; it's just loo, too much. Frozen Eggnog Using dairy eggnog, we make a rich and wonderful eggnog frozen custard like this, garnish it with nutmeg or top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Beat one egg while until frothy. Gradually beat in one- fourth cup sugar a tablespoon at a time. Beat until slid. Fold into two cups dairy eggnog; then fold-in one cup whipping cream thai has been whipped. Pour into a refrigerator tray that has been lined with waxen paper or alum inum foil. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Place in freezing com partmcnt of refrigerator and freeze until firm. Garnish as suggested above. Quick Look at Best Buys A continuing abundance of broiler-fryers and ample sup plies of west coast beef keep these meat prices low. Plenty of cranberries, onions and potatoes for accompanying them. Many cuts of western lamb are genu ine bargains for stewing and braising. If you've a ham in mind for holiday entertaining, watch for canned ham specials; so easy to serve, carve. For menu change, consider oysters in a stew, scalloped or fried. Dungcncss crab, shrimp and lobster are reasonably priced, luxury tasting. Fish sticks, halibut good buys. Cranberries and dates are fea tured items along with apples, bananas, grapes, winter pears, desert grapefruit, navel oranges, tangerines. Pomegranates and chestnuts, loo; Vegetable bins suggest beans, green and red cabbage, carrots, School Hows canned or packaged foods for grades have been making large the Red Cross Christmas bas-i murals to be used to decorate kcts.
