Show THE Page Two flta Sun-Advoc- page 8, but that hardly seems proper newspaper styling. There is also an international problem. Heres how Webster defines trillion: In French and American notation, a thousand billions, or in English and German notations, a million billions. Imagine what would happen if we started talking trillions in our foreign aid departments. Only safeguard would be another headline complication. It would probably be necessary to write Trillion (Amer. & Fr.) or Trillion (Ger. and Eng.). Under the circumstances, it would seem the better part of wisdom for newspapermen to fight the trillion dollar trend. Its too com plicated. But just in case remember that trillion has an r in it r, like the first letter in the word ruin. ate Issued Every Thursday By ths CARBON COUNTY PUBLISHING COMPANY "one newspaper, one coverage, one cost" Entered at the post office at Price, Utah, as second class matter under act of March 3, 1879.

The correspondent was a woman who had lived in the Hemet area for more than half a century. She wrote: I have many fond memories of your newspaper and tfye people who have been it occonnected with it. Not long ago curred to me that in the files of your paper is the history of my life. Your paper recorded my birth, my childhood parties, my graduation from high school and later from college, my marriage the arival of each of my four children anc the death of one of them and now, in more recent years your columns have been the arrival, one by one, of my grand children. . . Is it any wonder that your paper means so much in our 'home and that we look forward eagerly to receiving it each week? The country paper is an intensely personal thing, close to the lives and work and thoughts and aspirations of all who read it. And its a certainty that no medium of communication and opinion has so large a proreaders. portion of loyal, beginning-to-en-d WATCII OUT FOR TRILLIONS In the interest of accuracy, we think it is time to warn reporters and Linotype operators that the word trillion has an r in it. ... During recent years we have had a lot of trouble getting millions and billions straightened out. One of the most common typos is to write $281,000,000 when we actually mean $281,000,000,000. They look pretty much alike. And they sound pretty much alike, too million and billion. Just a matter of an or a b. But now, as the national debt approaches new horizons and our congress is thinking big we should probably all get familiar with the word trillion. Its a little more complicated since, instead of just substituting a t for a b, an r must be thrown in. Another problem with a trilion dollar debt, from the newspapermans standpoint, is the difficulty of making $1,000,000,000,000 fit into a headline. Of course a headline writer might use a note to say, Zeros continued on Doctor: I cant do anything for him. I am a veterinary surgeon. Patient : "Thats all right. Youre just the man to fix me up.
