JACK FROST'S PAINT SHOP—It’s 65 degrees below zero
in the room shown, above, at the USAF’s Climatic Laboratory,
Elgin Air Force Base, Fla. The supersonic fighter-bomber
undergoing the chill workout is the F-105 Thunderchief. After
further in-flight tests in sometimes balmier Alaska, the ship,
which is capable of carrying nuclear weapons, will join planes
on the flight line of the Tactical Air Command.

Publisher drops
‘shopper’ reason
‘not the answer’
(The National Publisher)
“A Shopper Isn’t the Answer.”
For all those publishers who
have weighed or are still weigh-
ing the pros and cons of a shop-
per, this is the thinking of at
least one prominent newspaper-
man, who announced the aban-
donment of a shopper after a
brief “trial run.”
The newspaperman is Elmer M.
Jackson Jr., general manager and
managing editor of five Southern
Maryland newspapers, including
the historic weekly Maryland
Gazette and the daily Evening
Capital at Annapolis, Md.
“I thought you might be inter-
ested in our admission of guilt,"
Jackson wrote the National Pub-
lisher, enclosing a copy of the
editorial announcing the end of
their shopper venture, under the
title, “A Shopper Isn't the An-
swer.”
lie explained in his letter to
the Publisher, that a few months
back the Maryland Gazette-Glen
Burnie News decided to publish
a companion paper to the Ga-
zette as a free paper. The Ga-
zette, he pointed out, is an ABC
paper with just over 8,000 circu-
lation and it sells on the news-
stands for 10 cents.
Launched as a free companion
paper to the Gazette was the Glen
Burnie News, which was printed
and distributed on Mondays to
12,000 homes. The area, he said,
is also served by another ABC
weekly and several free shoppers.
“We put the Glen Burnie
Home News on a trial run, and
this week (Nov. 8) we folded it,
and published a notice telling
why,” Jackson wrote.
According to the Gazette edi-
torial, the people of Ann Arun-
del County “do not want throw-
away newspapers.” Community
"esidents, it continued, who want
to read local news are more than
willing to buy a newspaper—
“they aren’t looking for some-
thing for nothing.”
Further the editorial stated:
“The shopper was unable to ful-
fill the function of a home news-
paper, so it is being dropped. We
learned that our shopper could
not meet expenses within a leg-
itimate operating budget. It is an
economic fact a free paper, such
ns ours, must be subsidized in
order to succeed,
“And some people object to
their premises being littered with
an unasked for shopper. In fact,
in some homes, shoppers are not
welcome.
“Wo are glad we established
the Home News, because during
the few weeks that it was pub-
lished we received conclusive
proof that in Glen Burnie a shop-
per isn’t tops in popularity with
either the family or the adver-
tiser.”
Bulk, unpaid circulation, no
matter how large, said the edi-

13 points to interest youth in field
of journalism offers timely suggestion
IOWA CITY—Now is the time
for newspapers to start doing
some spade work to help interest
young people in journalism, ac-
cording to William T. Hageboeclc,
who urges newspapers to adopt
a 13-point program in coopera-
tion with local high schools and
junior colleges.
Mr. Hagtboeck, publ sher of
the Iowa City (Iowa) Press-Cit-
izen, is chairman of the Inland
Daily Press Association Commit
tee on Journalism Education,
Personnel Recruiting, and Tiain-
ing. His proposals are contained
in the Iowa Publisher, a monthly
magazine printed by the State
University of Iowa School of
Journalism.
Mr. Hageboeck proposes that
publishers should:
1. Visit journalism teachers
and faculty supervisors of school
newspapers in the area.
torial, doesn’t bring results to!
advertisers, and one paid news-
paper is worth four shoppers in
the opinion of many advertiseis.
Jackson, who has served three
years as president of the Mary-
land Press Association and nine
years as chariman of the Chesa-
peake District of the A.I’., also
is owner-pub1 isher of the Wor-
cester Democrat at I’ocomokc
City, Md., and is president of the
Carroll County Times at West-
minster, Md. He is a member of
Sigma Delta Chi and the Amer-
ican Society of Newspaper Edi-
tors.
He has two sons, Elmer M.
Jackson III, who is editor-man-
ager of the Maryland Gazette,
and Allen C. Jackson, who is
manager of the Brooklyn (Md.)
News.
2. Offer to assist these people.
Offer to talk to the journalism
lasses at various times during the
year.
3. Use pictures of student
journalists. Every fall a new
staff is selected for the school
newspaper. The pictures lend
prestige to the youngsters put-
ting out the paper.
4. Set up a day for the school
; .pcc staff and advisor to visit
the newspaper and tour the plant,
and conclude the visit with a
luncheon meeting with the news-
paper as host.
5. Establish some cash prizes
lor the best story of the month
in the school paper, or the best
story for the semester. A similar
award may be given for the best
picture.
6. Award a college scholarship
to the best senior journalism stu-
dent at the end of the year.
7. Cooperate with the school
paper. Make some news photos
available to them. Occasionally
they may have something the
newspaper can use.
8. Once or twice a year invite
the members of the high school
and junior college staffs to spend
a day with some of the people at
the newspaper. Have the student
leporters, photographers, editors,
and advertising men accompany
staff members who have similar
jobs.
9. Consider an Annua! High
School Journalism Day. Invite the
chool paper staffs in the area to
meet, tour the plant, and con-
clude with a luncheon program.
It might he a good idea to have
..a interesting public figure speak
to the group.
10. Check the school libraries
and see what type of information
they have on journalism. Two
Ford scholarship
awards announced
girl gets first
DEARBORN, Mich. — A 17-
year-old science major, who is
editor - in - chief of her high
school newspaper in Los Angeles,
California, has been named to re-
ceive a full four-year college
scholarship awarded by Ford Mo-
tor Company as a result of com-
petition among 135 teen-agers at-
tending the National Teen-Age
Press Conference in Dearborn,
October 15-16.
Frances Brown represented the
Los Angeles Herald and Express
at the conference held in con-
junction with the 1958 Ford
Press Preview. In addition to the
youths, each of whom represent-
ed a major newspaper from over
the nation, there also were 200
adult staffers from leading news-
papers, magazines, radio and tele-
vision stations.
Other awards went to:
Second place, a $2,500 scholar-
ship, to Marcia Robinson, 16-
year-old “A” student from Mi-
ami, Florida representing the Mi-
ami Herald. This provides for a
maximum of $625 a year for
four years.
Third place, a $1,500 scholar-
ship, to 17-year-old Bettie
Schottenfels, of Detroit repre-
senting the Detroit Free Press.
This provides for up to $500 a
year for three years.
Fourth place, a $1,000 schol-
arship, to John C. Farrell, 17,

years.
And fifth place, an $800 schol-
arship, to 17-year-old R. Doa
Thompson, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga.,

tution. This provides up to $400

The top award, worth a total
of $8,000, provides up to $2,000
a year for four years. This will
be applied to tuition, fees, books,
room and board, and depending

good booklets on journalsm car-
eers are available from The
American Council on Education
for Journalism and the American
Newspaper Publishers Assn. Does
the library regularly get a copy
of the local newspaper?
11. Have the school adviser help
select an alert student to serve
as a correspondent for the news-
paper. Occasionally a news-mind-
ed youngster can provide a tip
to a story at the school that
would normally not come from
the principal’s office.
12. Take part in any Career
Day program in the high school
or junior college. If journalism is
not represented, talk to the prin-
cipal and volunteer to help.
13. Sponsor a chapter of Quill
& Scroll in the local high school.
It costs the school nothing to be-
long, and only $2.25 for each
student elected to membership in
this international honorary soc-
iety.
In addition to promoting more
student interest in journalism as
a career, Mr. Hageboeck says,
these suggestions may create
greater community interest in the
newspaper.
It was a good year for public
health. -
For the first time in Texas
history, live births passed the
quarter-million mark. More than
252.000 births were recorded as
the year ended, compared with
72.000 deaths. That’s a healthy
3 L4 to 1 ratio of births over
deaths, and indicates a natural
population increase of 180,000.
Other health events were equal-
ly significant. An influenza epi-
demic—the worst since 1918—
caused a flurry of activity among
health officials in months just be-
fore the year died. Before it was
over almost two million doses of
vaccine were rushed into the
state. Vaccine—and early warn-
ing — undoubtedly lessened the
epidemic’s impact.
As the official state agency
for city planning assistance, the
State Health Department pro-
cessed 14 applications for feder-
al financial aid. Total cost of
projects, all in cities of less than
25,000, is $451,252, of which the
federal share is $216,483.
Spring floods were behind the
urgency of 58 special health pro-
jects costing $417,000, including
control of insect vectors, rehab-
ilitation of water plants, and
chlorination of thousands of farm
wells.
Almost 1,100,000 pounds of
food had to be removed from sale
channels as being unfit for hu-
man consumption during the
year.
FYiur separate episodes of ra-
dioactive isotope mishandlings
were investigated, and a toxicol-
ogical information center was
initiated to instantly provide in-
formation on antidotes in cases
of industrial and household chem-
ical poisonings. The center oper-
ates in cooperation with the Tex-
as Medical Association.
Almost 1,800,000 shots of pol-
io vaccine were distributed
throughout Texas, cutting the in-
cidence of polio to less than half
that of the previous year. Only
729 cases were reported in 1957,
compared with a five-year med-
ian of 1751 cases.
Five hundred nursing homes,
housing 8,000 aged people, were
inspected and licensed during
1957, and 21 hospital construc-
tion project , were approved by
the State Board of Health under
terms of the Hill-Burton Act.
Construction of city sewerage
plants with federal help got un-
derway with the allocation of $3,-
500,000 to 42 separate p ojects,
and a statewide water sampling
program was begun. With game
wardens collecting i-mples, ome
500 samples per month are being
analyzed at the State Health De-
partment laboratory.

ically indigent crippled children
