ROTARY STUDIES THE
PRINTING BUSINESS
“Armed aggression always
comes from dictatorial regimes
where freedom (of information) is
non - existent,” Don Hurlbert
quoted a Dr. Noriega, a Mexican
journalist, at Thursday’s Rotary
luncheon programmed around
the theme of printing and the
newspaper business.
It is not so much the facts that
create public sentiment as atti
tudes, Don suggested. The U.S.
press proclaims to want absolute
freedom, while the controlled So
viet press says the U.S. editors
are controlled by capitalists. The
Anglo-French press is controlled
in cases of public health and
morality, while Asiatic, Arabian,
and South American countries
feel controls should be used in
cases of national interest.
It would bo a serious mistake
to allow the freedom of the press
to go into twilight, yet there are
still some who believe that this
effort is less important than the
flight of a mosquito.
The power of the press really
came from the invention and de
velopment of printing, making in
formation economical and easily
available. Ted Duffield reported
to the club the invention of print
ing machines in 1454 and the
modem linotype which came into
its own in 1880, making informa
tion as we know it possible.
Few realize the intricacy of a
linotype machine which can make
slugs in 70 languages, using many
styles of type. The Linotype Co.,
feel that their installation of the
basic machine is unfinished busi
ness until all of the varieties of
type matrix have been used —
just as the newspaper business is
unfinished business until people
have had an opportunity to be
come aware of the facts and at
titudes concerning the world of
happenings that may affect them.
Birthdays today were observed
for Jim Walsh, friendly Pan Am
erican greeter and dispatcher;
Steve Anderson, who looks after
the city’s “Cat” needs; and Les
Bronson, who helps water the
town.
Guests were Charles Rogers,
ANS teacher at White Mountain,
Axel Edman, Barney Crosby, both
of Nome, and Jack Weitz, Alaska
Airlines, Anchorage, and Ed Fin
nell, Social Security, Anchorage.

Nation’s Traffic Death
Toll Approaches Millionth
(By the Associated Press)
The nation’s traffic toll yester
day approached the 1,000,000
mark. \
It reached 99,754 at 7:30 a.m.
The National Safety Council
said: “The remaining deaths are
expected to occur by about noon
Saturday if the anticipated travel
and accident pattern does not
change.”
The statement was, in effect,
the flag signal for the final laps
in a race -aaginst death that began
Sept. 13, 1899.
That was the date of the first
known motor vehicle fatality in
the U.S. The victim was H. H.
Bliss. He stepped from a trolley
and was run over by a horseless
carriage in New York City.
Fatalities reached a peak of
39,969 in 1941. They slumped off
during World War II, then rose
to the 1951 average of around 100
per day.
