These memorials mostly | are of some community .venture of | benefit to all the people, such as| recreation building, stadiums, ete. | Ebensburg is planning now in the final stages of construction. Other | Cambria county towns are think- ing along the same line. kK % 3% In the northern section of the county, lately, there seems to be some critcism on the planning of a larger memorial for the en- tire county at Johnstown. Whe- ther the crticism is justifiable or not, we won't pretend to fore- cast at this time. A Patton man been named as general chairman for the county dis- tricts, and the writer's name has been published in the past as a | member of the county publicity committee, although he has not | attended any meeting of that group, nor even consented to | take an active part in the move- ment. Upon the reaction of our home people toward the venture | will rest what activity we may | asume. ® % The backers of the proposed Cambria County Memorial at Johnstown say that the type of Memorial they have in mind is not intended, nor should it be consid- ered in conflict with any local movement of the kind. It is con- templated as a place of assemblage for larger gatherings and conven- | tions, which could not now be ac- at no time, to our mind, should the Johnstown proposition overshadow any community enterprises are planned. * % ok With last week’s issue, the Press-Courier came to you in a completely new type-dress, and at the time we refrained from mention of it, in order to see if | any reaction came from our rea- ders on the new appearance, In the course of the past week we have been much gratified on the comments made directly to the members of our staff. The head- letter tpye is designed for easier reading and is a modern depar- ture away from the capitalized lines that are not only only un- pleasing to the eye, but serve as a bit confusing as well. The only reason the change had not been made before this was due to our inability to get the typeset- ting machinery to make the change. * kk With the past issue, the Press- Courier came before you for the that | | { | | | | | i | | | first time, set in part on the larg- | est mechanical chine is the largest manufactured | by the Intertype Corporation, and [on some of our pages, advertise- ments and all, there is not a sing- le, solitary hand-set type line. All of the small and medium type ap- pearing in our paper is machine set. This insures new faces, and eliminates our distribution time to a great extent. The scope of faces this new Intertype will han- dle is unlimited, and is gauged by | the added faces from time to time the publisher purchases. Changes typesetting and | | casting machine made. The ma- | chased a double magazine Inter- type, and that machine has been faithful to its trust, producing all the machine-set composition that was required to meet our constantly growing demands. This machine still is in good me- chanical shape, and will contin- ue as a permanent member of our machinery equipment, and its sentimental value alone now would make it hard for us to part with it. The rush of business that has | come our way, both in the news- paper and the job printing busi- ness, since the war has been so heavy as to make our plant one in dire need of more than one type- setting machine. That bottle-neck now is ended. On peak days of our | busy week, visitors can see both | machines casting out their pro- duct—and both do it efficiently, even though the machine we pur- chased back in 1923 appears as a | mere midget beside the new, mod- ern giant at its s Our readers are asked to re- member that the production of the Union Press-Courier is only one department of our business, and that we maintain an ade- quate and modern job printing department as well, with no job too big or too small. Because of the demands of our job depart- ment, which we had neglected of necessity during the war years, something had to be done in the matter of composition, and our prayer is answered. ® 3k ok business differs If it's an The printing from no other business. up-and-coming concern, it must meet its demands with modern methods. We have other things in| mind for our plant. Sooner or later | we hope to realize those plans, and | likely then, there will still be oth- | er problems come up. A successful | business can’t remain dormant. In | all our plans, we cater to services | we render the public—our readers, | advertisers and job printing pa- trons. We will endeavor to serve | you better as time goes on. { sk sk | It is a far cry today back to those days in January 27 years | ago when the present Courier management took over, with a couple of cases of type, a small | job press, and a hand newspaper press we never used. The paper has had its ups and its downs, its prosperity and its struggles, and today, housed in our own brick home, in the heart of the local business section, and with an enterprising weekly newspa- | per plant, and a built-up patron- | age all over the northeast of the county, it seems like a dream. The political appointee also is most likely the hatchet-man for his elected boss. He's the boy who has to get out and do the foot- | work around election time, and | does so solely for his own political | hide, He may be an efficient work- | er, but that usually doesn’t matter a hang. He's got a political job, and ability doesn't count so much with his boss as ability he has | to garner votes | Wk So, when you see a chap with a political job, unless its a mighty good one, don’t envy him, Likely he'd be much happier if he had a job of like remuneration and work in some private industry. He would be more secure. 'Tis a queer world-—or should we say State? Last year the Repub- licans were bragging about the $200,000,000 surplus they had_in the state treasury, and this year they are taiking about the $80,- | 000,000 deficit that confronts ‘em. | There are no Democrats to blame [it on, and a commission will this week try to explain matters. When the present session of the legisla- ture finally adjourns, and the cit- izens of Pennsylvania find them- | selves assesed a lot of new and | healthy taxes, it can’t be blamed |on Roosevelt and the New Deal. | It's part of the heritage of James {and Martin—and can hardly be | traced back to Earle. Washington the | 0 | And down in | tives who promised so loudly the great reduction in income and oth- | er taxes, now are hedging. There | {won't be any reduction of 20 per cent in your income tax, and pro- bably little, if any, reduction in any tax. That will be something for the Republicans to explain in 1948—the 1946 election promises, we mean!

Holding an elective job, therefore, is the bus- iness of the aspirant, and in most cases does not represent the only source of income of the official. Uusally he has some other busi- ress to rely upon—and is not to be pitied in defeat. That's the gam- ble he takes. * % The chap who is most insecure is he, or she, who has appointive political jobs, and unless such po- sitions pay mighty well, most any substantial job in private life is more desirable. The appointive job holder never knows when his neck | is to be slashed. Usually he holds | secure so long as his sponsor is secure—but that isn’t always the case. He may get the ax right in the middle of his boss’ tenure of | | office. “SPEEDY” by Main Street Garage, Carrolltown WHATEVER THE JOB... . . . from changing spark plugs to a complete engine overhaul job you can depend on our staff of expert mech- anics to do the job right!
