Newsprint Shortage, Price Hike
Force Newspapers To Cut Size
v Vanishing newsprint supplies.*
with little hope of relief in the'
near future, plus another substan-
tial boost in paper costa threatens
to make itself felt in slimmer
newspapers for reader*
That news Is rocking the news
industry, which daily publishes
over 55 million newspapers
throughout the United States
Behind it all is the acute short-
age of newsprint, the special grade
wood pulp paper on which news-
papers are printed. The Wall
Street Journal reports that unused
'stocks of this basic Ingredient Of
newspapers are now at the lowest
le^el in more than 20 years.
On top of the existing shortage
and a new round of price in-
creases of $4 and $5 per ton, five
major newsprint producers have
informed customers they will cut
bade deliveries by 7 Vi per cent to
13Vi per cent at the start of the
year. .
What is worse, according to pub-
lishers, the situation is going to get
tighter before it Improves.
N. J. Dalles Hard Hit
David J. Winkworth, manager of
the Publishers’ Bureau of New
Jersey, which represents 13 major
dalles in the state, told the Atlant-
ic City Press, “There is no question
but that papers will have to turn
down advertising.'*
He told 'a Press reporter that
while none of the major dalles in
New Jersey have as yet had to
curtail advertising, K is bound to
come.
Coilpled with Increased orders
from American publishers, Cana-
dian newsprint jyrqducers, which
supply nearly 80 per cent of the
newsprint used in this country, are
also faced with growing demands
from other nations.
American and Canadian news-
print manufacturers have expan-
sion programs planned or under
way, but they are not expected to
help the situation before late next
year.
First Shortage
The big Atlanta, Ga. Journal and
Constitution, which published 188
pages on a recent Sunday, told the
Wall Street Journal, “We may be
putting out a four-page paper in
January if we don't find more
newsprint than we have in sight
now.” ■'
fn New Orleans, the Time«-Pic-
ayune and States are limiting ad-
vertiaers this month to the same
lineage 'they used in December.
1954.
Caught in Sqaeeae
Typical of the papers caughtTn
the shortage of newsprint squeeie
are the Cincinnati, Ohio, Times-
Star which was down to a 10-day
supply compared to two months
stock for the similar period a year
ago, and the Houston, Texas .Post,
which dropped from a normal two
or three months’ supply to one
counted in days.
Winkworth pointed out. that
some of the newspaper trade un-
ions in this country have ap-
proached uni (mixed mill worker*
in Canada with regard to working
a sisjh day each week, but had a
“deaf ear” turned to the sugges-
tion. '
With the reduction in size of
newspapers, he said some mechan-
ical departments personnel face
layoffs because of lack of work
for them.
The only alternative facing
many publishers b buying paper
on the premium price market,
where costs run as much as 870
per ton over the normal market
figure, a virtually prohibitive
move.
Meanwhile, Winkworth pointed
out, it's , all a matter of operating
with available supplies.

Gulf States To Reduce
Winter Electricity Rates
Electric rate schedules to make*
the use of heat pumpa, space heat-
ing, water heaters and greater
winter use of electricity more ec-
onomical generally will be effec-
tive with meter readings on and
after January 1 throughout the
service area of Gulf States Utili-
ties company in Texas.
The changes In (rates affect only
aix “winter” months—November
to the following April, inclusive.
According to the company, resi-
dential customers using more than
600 kwhr a month under condi-
tions specified in the rates will
benefit.
All kwhr during any winter
month in excess of 800 kwhr, ex-
clusive of kwhr for water heating,
will be billed at 1.5c a kwhr. A
similarly low rate will ^avail-
able to-commercial customers for
electric heat pumps and space
heating.
The total annual reduction In
Texas, baaed on level of use anti-
cipated In 1958, will amount to ap-
proximately $36,800, the company
estimates. *
In explaining its action the
company pointed out that for sev-
eral years the increasing demands
of air conditioning have made ne-
cessary the Installation of facilities

hot months out of the year.
•'In order to utilize the capacity
of facilities during the winter
months”, the company explained,
“we propose to promote vigorously
greater winter time use of electric *
service."
We believe that our program of
sales and rates will appeal to
thousands of home owners and op- L
orator* o8 business places who
would like to make, greeter use of . -r»
electric service during the winter
months.

AN EIlUrORIAfc"
Taken from 1950 March of
I 1)i”hs Utah Scohol press Sheet,
: , l’ollo isn’t licked vet!
These tour words sum up the
■ present state of the fight against
infantile paralysis.
The Sulk vaccine, is a tremend-
ous stride forward Now, at long
last, we have good. Season* to hope
for the eventual control of polio.
But a vaccine does not eliminate
a disease overnight.
Truglc proof of this are the tehk
of thousands of Americans, many
of them high school students, who
wore stricken with polio during
1955. Today these most recent
polio victims, along with those
from former years—68,000 in all
—roquirc aid in their struggle to
rebuild their lives. Thousands
more will be hit by the disease Ixt;
fore widespread use of the Salk
vaccine can reduce the toll sig-
nificantly, *
For all these victims of polio—J
past, present and future—the-
March of Dimes stands ready to
offer aid, no matter how gteat the
cost- No limit Is put on the value
of a life. As much’ as 820,000 has
been spent on a single patient.
Costly too is the training of hun-
dreds of physical therapists, med-
ical social workers and especially
skilled nurses and physicians, all
urgently needed to help restore
polio patients to usdful living.
Last year the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis bought
vaccine for primary schooL child-
ren at the rate of 35 cent* a shot—
but the first shot of Salk vaccine-
cost 825,500,000 to produce. This
vaccine is 60 percent to 90 per cvAt
effective. Scientists, working un-
der March of Dimes grants, are
today trying to learn whether an
even more effective ohe can *be
developed.
-Certainly this is a time of great
promise in the long fight against*
polid. It is not a time for com-
placency Or a let-down in effort.
The March of Dimes needs and
deserves your support. Give to it,
as often and as generously as you
are able.

Boys, when you are dancing and

Girls, when the boy calls for
you, invite him In to speak to your
parents. If il is your first, date
with him, be sure to introduce him
to your parent* "
In escorting a girl to dinner it
is polite to let the girl proceed you
if your (able is shown to you by-
u waiter. If there is no waiter,
pierced the girl and select a table
yourself-;---------*--

dangerous one of all. Your very
life is in his hands, So don’t en-
