When troubles come, they us-
ually arrive in bushel baskets
full, and that has been the
case at the Monitor’s office this
week.
Linotype opertor WARD
LOWE, who sets the type for
all he news, many of the head-
lines, and a large portion of
the ads. was suddenly stricken
with acute appendicitis late
Tuesday night. He was rushed
to Medical Center Hospital in
Tyler where he was operated on
that night. The operation was
successful and LOWE is report-
ed recovering satisfactorily.
Three linotype operators have
been pinch hitting for LOW’E.
Ter Include RAYMOND MAR-
TN from the Tyler Courier
Tinies, HARRY HAMILTON of
the Wood County Democrat,
and Mineola's own railroader
RAYMOND GEORGE.
GEORGE hadn’t operated a
linotype machine for 17 years.
He set the composition for sev-
eral ads and did remarkably
well considering his long ab-
sence from the printing trade.
Numerous errors will be ob-
served in this week’s paper, as
press runs has to be made when
no operator was available to set
type, but we ask readers to
please excuse them. We also
apologize for the smallness of
this week’s paper. Some news
had to be left out as it was
simply impossible to get the
type set.
In addition to LOWE’S ab-
sence, apprentice printer PAUL
COLBURN has been on vaca-
tion, and bookkeeper and soc-
iety editor MRS. WARD LOWE
has been with her husband. So
the Monitor’s force has been
cut three people, which is half
of the regular staff.

destroy our farms and the
grass will grow on the streets
of every city in the land.”
