Offset Makes
Debut With
This Edition
This edition of The Summerville News is its first
under the modern new offset method.
Earlier this week, The Trion Facts and The For
est Park Free Press and Clayton County News and
Farmer were printed in The News shop by offset.
Last Saturday, the historic
“first run” on the new offset
was made, printing the back
section of this edition. The
remainder of The News was
run Wednesday night as
usual.
The delectable - looking
turkey fronting the last sec
tion is a sample of the kind
of color work which can be
done under the new method.
Greater speed, better pic
ture reproduction and great
er economy are other ad
vantages of the offset
method.
Unlike some offset plants,
The News is using both “hot”
and “cold” type. Hot type is
that coming from linotypes
and cold is that coming from
some of the various types of
composing machines. All
straight type, some heads
and some ads are being pro
duced “hot” as The News has

‘I LOVE YOU, SANTA’— And there’s no doubt
about it, either. This display of affection for the
old fellow from the North Pole took place Sunday
afternoon at the annual Christmas party given
by the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars for some 600 Chattooga children.

VETERANS BRIGHTEN TOT’S CHRISTMAS—
Here are some of the Chattooga County war vet
era n s who worked Sunday at the Chattooga
County Memorial Home, giving the annual Amer
ican Legion-Veterans of Foreign Wars party for
needy tots. On the front are (left to right) Bill
retained three o f its four
linotypes. However, some
ads and some heads are
being set on a Vari-typer
head machine, a simple ma
chine which anyone can
easily master in a few min
utes.
Proofs of stories, heads or
ads set on linotypes and
strips from the cold type
machine are all “pasted up”
on a sheet the size of a
newspaper page. The page is
then photographed, a nega
tive made and the positive
transferred to a light-weight
metal sheet which is then
placed on the press.
The paper never touches
the metal sheet, however.
The imprint hits a “blanket”
which then "offsets” it to
the paper.

The Christmas
Story
from The New English Bible
Luke 2:1 -20
In those days a decree was issued by the Emperor Au
gustus for a general registration throughout the Roman
world. This was the first registration of its kind; it took
place when Quirinius was governor of Syria. For this purpose
everyone made his way to his own town; and so Joseph went
up to Judaea from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to be
registered at the city of David, called Bethlehem, because he
was of the house of David by descent; and with him went
Mary who was betrothed to him. She was pregnant, and
while they were there the time came for her child to be born,
and she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him
round, and laid him in a manger, because there teas no room
for them to lodge in the house.
Now in this same district there were shepherds out in
the fields keeping ivatch through the night over their flock,
when suddenly there stood before them an angel of the Lord,
and the splendour of the Lord shone round them. They were
terror-struck, but the angel said, Do not be afraid; I have
good news for you: There is great joy coming to the whole
people. Today in the city of David a deliverer has been born
to you—the Messiah, the Lord. And this is your sign: you
will find a baby lying all wrapped up, in a manger. All at
once there was with the angel a great company of the
heavenly host, singing the praises of God:
‘Glory to God in highest heaven,
And on earth his peace for men on whom his favour rests.’
After the angels had left them and gone into heaven

have waited all year long for this very special
night. In the background is the family Bible
opened to the story of the Christ Child’s birth—

Santa Claus but also the special time for remem

The Night Before
Christmas
By Clement Clarke Moore
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the
house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse: The
stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that
St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled
all snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums danced in
their heads; and mama in her kerchief and I in my cap, had
just settled down for a long winter nap. When out on the
lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to
see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a
flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The
moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow, gave a luster of
midday to objects below, when what to my wondering eyes
should appear’ but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein
deer, with a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a
moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his
moment is must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his
coursers they came, and he whistled and shouted and called
them by name: “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer
and Vixen! on Comet! on Cupid! on, Dunder and Blixen!
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall, now dash
away! Dash away! Dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when
they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky, so up to the
housetop the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys
and 'St. Nicholas, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on
the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I
drew in my head, and was turning around, down the chim
ney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in
fur from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tar
nished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung
on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his
pack. His eyes—how they winkled! His dimples—how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry. His droll
little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his
chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held
tight In his teeth, and the smoke it encircled his head like a
wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly that
shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. He was
chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed when

Santa On
His Way
The magic of the Christmas season stirred over
Chattooga County—and around the world—this
week, as people readied for that most wondrous holi
day of all.
A late report from the North Pole said Santa

expected to be right on
schedule.
Although many churches
held their Christmas services
last week-end, several were
having programs last night,
tonight and tomorrow.
The Summerville Presby
terian Church will have a
communion service at 7:30
o’clock tonight (Thursday).
A meditation, the singing of
carols and the rendition of
solo numbers will be featured
and the public is Invited,

In the meantime, indus
tries over the county were

holiday week-end, stores and
streets were full of last

anticipation.
Most stores, offices and
other business places will be

It’ll be a time of feasting
and music and gifts, as
