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.

H. M. (Hank) Grcenspun. 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.

Just toss nutmeats lightly in

Fill a candy dish for Sonny's
teacher; a measuring cup or
set of molds for a neighbor: a

ipe box, with recipe, for some
one else. Tuck some of these

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,
