Sheldon Neeshan and Craig Nelson face deadline; Mount Air Boys Put Out Newspaper Two youngsters from Mount Air are . destined . to become star reporters, journeymen printers or captains of the advertising in-dust- ry ; Craig Nelson,. 11, and Sheldon Neeshan, 12f have published three issues of a neighborhood news-paper, The ute News. Printed on a rubber stamp print: ing press, the News carries honest-to-goodne- ss paid advertising from Mt. Air merchants. Receipts are being plowed quickly into expan-sion of the printing "plant." The boys are" buying more type so they can enlarge their paper Sheldon and Craig each own a printing outfit. After they had exhausted the novelty of setting their-name- s in type, they saw an ad in a comic magazine. The ad showed a boy gathering news and ads, printing a newspaper, selling it, and then sitting in the drug-store drinking a malt bought with the profits. The malt angle did it. The two boys decided to earn themselves malt money Smart businessmen, though, they realize they must put some of the money back into the business. In fact, they haven't yet enjoyed a malt from the profits. Craig and Sheldon are anxious to trade ideas and papers with other boys and girls who are ap-prentice printers and cub report-ers. They think it would be fun to organize a club and print an official club paper. Sheldon is in the sixth grade at Cathedral School He is the son of Mrs. Iva Neeshan, 1622 East 3045 South. Craig attends the sixth grade at Libby Edwards School. His par-ents are Mr and Mrs. Ernest D. Nelson, 1574 East 3045 South. The families of the boys are as enthusiastic about printing a paper as the boys. If the boys don't take the typecase and press off to a corner of the basement, each member of the family takes a turn at setting type and running off a copy or two of the paper. The youngsters are learning to spell, too their mothers say. Expansion Days Launched By S. House C. of C.
