This Is the tercentenary amil- j versary of the American beginning of an Industry that has had a greater influence on civilization than any other trade or profession. pro-fession. Upon its Inception, development and employment, civiii- I zation has made its greatest strides and risen to Its highest levHs. I In disseminating facts, spreading the Influence of religion, educating educat-ing the masses, exposing infamy and turning the light on t runts, j the art of printing has performed services no other mortal ayency could have accomnjijhed in a million years. . I Printing with a flint, a piece of charcoal or a stylus was ! practiced by primeval inhabitants of the earth when Ideas first began to clamor for expression and preservation. In the course of time wooden blocks were carved and impressions "squeezed" therefrom. But it was not until movable types were invented that printing, as it is now recognized, Was i Mrh. Johahn GensneKch, I or Guttcnberg. cut a crude font of letters from which public docu- ments were printed in 1454, although experiments had been carried j on for at least 10 years before notice was taken of the matter Machinery for making Impressions was finally perfected and j utilized by William Caxton, who issued several books from his press but gave it up, because "material returns did not Justify the necessary outlay." Three hundred years ago the first printing press set up in the American colonies was put into operation by - Stephen Daye, an Englishman who came to Massachusetts In 1638 j and started running off psalms and almanacs the following year. He was America's first printer, but his work was so crude the publishers put Samuel Green In his place, who subsequently employed em-ployed Daye as "a Journeyman." President Birkinshaw and Secretary Hendrik Romeyn of the "Printing Industry of Utah" have arranged a program and engaged en-gaged speakers to participate In the national observance of the event. Likewise, In virtually every city and town In the state, printers and newspaper publishers will join In the observance which honors a profession of which they, as members, are proud. , Penney's Mark 29th birthday' In American Fork This month marks the 28th anniversary anni-versary of the Penney store, according accord-ing to M.

We have appreciated the patronage of local people. We feel that we have shar ed In the progress of American Fork and hope that In some measure we have contributed to it." The Penney store has grown steadily In both size and volume since its early days here, as customers cus-tomers learned to know and like Penney merchandise and the Penney way of doing business. The Penney Company and its policies are well known, not only in American Fork but throughout the state of Utah, according to M. L. Balrd. "There are now 29 Penney stores in the state," he continues. "We guarantee to put pounds where they belong and take them , t :'; fJ jrt" "the first Utah store having opened guarantee to make you feel better. . . . . . ... and be happy if you attend our classes and do the things we tell you to do," say leaders of the women's wo-men's recreation classes. "Come out and give them a try. If they can do that for you and you are interested, certainly go regularly. "When, did you say? Monday and Thursday nights. Where?
