This week, just 59 days after his men went to work, Earl Jones had his first (Sunday) edition on the street. It was a good, thick paper (four sections, 48 pages), with plenty of color comics, plenty of advertising, plenty of local news on Page 1. The Zanesville News plant was modern and complete, cost $250,000. With latest photographic and engraving equipment and brand-new unit tubular twin-12 presses, it was capable of printing the News in color throughout. Trucks were ready to deliver it daily and Sunday to every home in Muskingum County. And thorough Earl Jones...

S.] local treatments such as belladonna plasters over the kidneys and ice bags over the vertebrae were enthusiastically recommended. A worthy Ph.D. pleaded for selfdiscipline, fervently exhorting his hearers not to get the sneezing habit-which was very much like bidding a patient with a raging fever to keep cool. . . .

...choice of John Sly as lecturer on local government is any criterion, the Department seems to plan to make temporary appointments until faculty instructors are ready to take over the various vacated fields. Such a solution can only be frowned upon. Special lecturers, while they may cope with the teaching problem, can never be adequate tutors; they are simply not familiar enough with the lay of the land...
