VOL. NO. 40 PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 194S NO. 15S Meat Shortage Hits BREX, 25 Men Laic!

A- Kneer of the Burlingt.cn P.ef rigei ator Express coirnany that 25 employes at the BREX will be dropped from the payroll effective at 4:30 p- m July 1. Order Received by Kneer Sup'.

Blames Meat Shortage Supt- Kneer blamed the meat shortage for the layoff. He said that the refrigerator cars made by BREX were not being shipped out of Omaha like they used to be The lack of me3t he i ndicated is result ing in a curtailment of the use cf meat refrigerator cars and thus necessitates a layoff at the local shops. Change Date for Drivers' Tests The morning of the second Sat urday of each month has been de signated as the time for driver's license examinations at the court house here, Treasurer Ruth Pat ton announced Thursday. The schedule will be in effect beginning next month and will rontinue through July. One ex ception will be made in October, when the examinations will be held the morning of the firt Sat urday of the month instead of the second because the Columbus day holiday falls -on the second Sat urday. The examinations were prev iously scheduled to be held the af ternoon of the third Saturday of each month for the next six months, but since the court house is closed during Saturday after noons throueh Sept. 21, the date was changed. ) At the Mailbox I By J.

Daily Journal Expansion Program Gets Underway People who have been accustomed to visiting The Daily Journal plant regularly over the past years soon won't "know the old place." For the past year and a half, behind-the-s'cenes activity has been quietly proceeding in preparation for the clay when The Daily Journal plant would be overhauled and completely modernized. Today, the objective of that activity is near at hand. First, the war delayed installation of new ma chinery and changes planned long ago by The Daily Journal management. Next came the wave of strikes which stopped or slowed production of machinery, electrical equipment, printing machine parts and ac cessories. Rut production lines' are rolling again and new equipment has started to come off them. Most important new installation to be made in The Daily Journal plant will start next week when automatic typesetting machinery will arrive. This new machinery made by the Teletypeset ter Corporation in Chicago will virtually double capacity of The Daily Journal newspaper plant. Through use of Teletypesetter equipment production of news type on linotype machines can be stepped nn to about twice that of manually operated ma chines. Order for the Teletypesetter equipment was placed in December, 1944. shortly after The Daily Journal was sold by Mrs. R. A. Bates to the, present owners. The Daily Journal will be one. of about only GO printing and publishing plants in the United States which have installed the equipment. First postwar machines from Teletypesetter lines were installed by The Fremont Guide and Tribune. The Gcss newspaper press in The Daily Journal plant will soon have importaht modern production devices added to it too. Parts for the change-over are now in the plant and will be installed as soon as machinists are available and necessary construction changes completed. Other modern newspaper equipment, which has been on order for many, many months, soon will ar rive and be placed in operation bv The Daily Journal. Several complete series of ultra-modern job type faces have arrived, others are on order, for dres ine up commercial printing work turned out by The Dailv Journal's .iob printing department. Plans for cnmnlete rearrangement of the entire Dailv Journal plant, to increase and speed up pro duction, came off drawing boards of printing equip ment engineers months ago. Now the changes are past the blue rrint staee. They will be started late next week and completed earlv in August. Despite th fact that much labor-savino- machin ery is bein"- added, all present emploves of The Daily Jmirnal wHI continue with the organization." Others will be added as ppcpssary. Capacity of both the nMr?npr p1j t and iob printing department should be rmhWl before fall. Vo- of The Dp'H Journal have been waiting for month5! to m?V this -announcement Hut we've had io wait pfiontlv until deliveries of the equipment were started. Ar.ri nnlv deliveries from manufac nrvs ca" iov delav the dfv of wok completion.

Despite the faet that psirl circulation is far biwher tsn it ever has heen. tVio drive for more subscribers will continue without let-nr. It's all part of our plan to rive Plattsmouth a daily newsnaper of whih it can be micrhtv proud. And todav. The Plattsmouth Daily Journal is just such a newspaper.
