The editorial costs of a newspaper range from 5% to 10% of the total and so the average publisher is likely to assign them to the lower categories-except when it comes to cutting the budget, in which case he is apt to turn first to trimming the editorial items. A campaign of enlightenment seems in order...
...temperature dropped and the breeze freshened. Rain was all that was needed to turn each tightly trapped, tree-shrouded fairway of the Augusta Country Club into a sea of trouble-and the rains came. Newcomers to the brooding pressure of the tournament circuit knew the jitters that separate the golfers from the girls. "I know how they feel," said Veteran Fay Crocker, 43.

While inventories got as low as 14 million tons during the 1954 recession, steelmen reckon that in 1958's bigger economy a bare-minimum inventory is 17 million tons. What could turn steel around-and give the entire economy a healthy lift-is auto sales. With an inventory of 900,000 unsold cars, the industry needs a big pickup in sales before it can step up production again.
