First of alk the reporter can mak # mistake in typing his copy and mis spell a person’s name. We are for- Pick Your Own Special Saturday, Only Any article in showcase reduced Ze per lb. LIMIT THREE ARTICLES PER CUSTOMER ‘Cariboo Cold Storage Ltd. tunate in that Jim Stet our lino- type operator, knows practically everyone in town by name and cor- rects most of the slips, But there is the odd one that can pass by un- noticed in this way. The news copy is then “set” on the linotype, a huge machine which casts these lines into metal slugs. You might say it resembles a large typewriter and in the same way that you can make mistakes in typing, so the linotype operator can make mistakes on his machine. A rough proof is taken of the lines ‘gs 0A ye deported p08 8 This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor fREM) Control Board, or by the Government of British Columbia, of type which make up a single col- umn in the newspaper. These are called “galley’” proofs. Now the proof-reader takes over, | and this is where all of the errors should be picked up and marked. But it is amazing how easily you can miss them even after reading a col- umn over a couple of times. An “n’ in place of an “‘m” can be skimmed over and pass unnoticed when you are scanning columns of type. In a recent wedding write-up in The! Tribune, I was horrified to see my | report come out that the “brides- maids wore full gathered snirts” in- stead of “skirts.” I felt slightly bet- ter a few days later to read in the Canadian Weekly Editor magazine that another newspaper had reported that the “bridesmaids wore net shirts"! Of course it helps -if the proof- reader can spell too. We once had an employee who we subsequently dis- covered couldn't spell worth weans, so naturally he didn’t know when a word was mis-spelled. On a small newspaper very often the proof-reader is the reporter or vice-versa, and so would know if any mistake had been made in his news story. But if the proof-reader’is not familiar with the copy, he would not realize if an error such as “Mrs. Dar- row" instead of “Mrs. Barrow” had been made. The only way to avoid such errors would be to check every word with the newscopy which is an awful‘lot of work. And so, for better or worse the gal- ley proof goes back to Jim, who then casts corrected slugs for each wrong line. Now here it is possible for an error to be made again, although it doesn't happen very often. But the| operator can make a mistake in mak- ing the new line. F The compositor who is making up the complete page, then takes thé, Electric Plant galley proof and the corrected slugs, removes the line with the error and inserts. the new one. This is where the error of transposed lines usually occurs; you have to jump a line and then go back in order to make sense of what you aré reading. This is he- cause the compositor has put a cor- rected line in the wrong place. Advertisements are proof-read in ‘tie same manner as news copy except that they are religiously checked against the original copy. And now the page is finished and | presumably co.reet except for check- ing on the headlines which is -done when we take a page-proof. | To be absolutely certain of no mistakes, the whole page should be completely read again, but this takes time and when we have reached this} stage, it is imperative to get tne press rolling in order to make the deadline of Thursday afternoon. So now you know how “public’’| can come out ‘puplic’” or ‘‘food’’ be transposed to “fool.” | Our only consolation “is that it happens to the big-city dailies too, even with their big staff of proof- readers. Demonstration Tour Mr. Frank Mohr, Sales Engineer of Electric Power Equipment Ltd., 1285 Homer Street, Vancouver, is making a tour of interior townships for the purpose of demonstrating the world famous Morrison Diesel ilec- tric plant, for which the company he represents is the distributor in Brit-' ish Columbia. This highly efficient electric plant, which incorporates a Petter Diesel cngine, is lower in firat cost, operat- ing and maintenance costs, than gasoline or othér diesel sets. It can be used in industry for log- ging and mining camps where its compact design and portability will make an instant appeal, or it can be employed on the farm or in private homes, to generate low cost electri- city. The Morrison Electric Plant is seliregulating andlcan be dperated by automatic, remote control or push button starting. It is fully equipped with starting battery, fuel tank, ete., and is ready for use as| soon as installed.
