Is So Easy Qti ihe Eye
The Sentinel is proud to present
a hew face to it's readers com-
jnencing in today's issue, a newly
added type to make the newspaper
more readable and to improve the
physical appearance of it's columns.
You are reading type set from
"Excelsior lace Linotype matrices,
a face that is one of the most popular of a recently introduced series
of legibility designs.
A critical study of the characteristics of the old Roman style alphabet revealed several faults to type
designers. v
Roman stylecl alphabets have
been widely used By newspaper
printers and other printing tradesmen, but are actually thin,- wiry
faces with a tendency to produce
a blurred impression if imperfectly,
cast on a type slug.
Other basic weaknesses include
small "bowls", or white perforations encircled by ink, such as in
the letters, e, a, g, o, d, and so on.
Roman design offended by the size
of these "bowls" which allowed ink
filling" and then sm*udging. Other
so-called ink, traps were caused by
long thin serifs and long'tails on
the letters.
These faults were more obvious
to designers than to readers, But
however, the readers could be displeased with the appearance of
their newspaper" without knowing
exactly why ... or why it was difficult. t6.read,
.' A* competitive instinct emerged
arriong. publishers Who wanted their
rne^papers" to be both readable
and'in good taste' typographically.
The Sentinel lately changed it's
headline style from centered headlines of all cap letters on page one
to lines of lower case letters-set
flush to the left side of the column.
£ong." use and satisfaction confirmed the fine effect obtained by
the use of Cheltenham family of
type for Sentinel headlines.
And now,. — this week for the
first time in the Sentinel, the body
type- in the hews columns is printed in a leading modern type design,- Excelsior, a Mergenthaler
Linotype creation.
The new type face in, the Sentinel
is .regarded as a marked improvement over the older Roman face
for several reasons besides it's
beaxtty and modem styls; J*...    ;.
1,) It is of darker impact with
less contrast between thick and
thin-lines, in the letter form,
2.) It makes the best possible
appearance on The Sentinel's fine
grade, of bright white newsprint.
,3.) The new type brings back
Some- of the print quality necessarily sacrificed when the new faster
press was put into production iri
The Sentinel pressroom iri 1951.
.Fast presses with hard rubber roll
ers ahd thinner inks are not cap-
awe oi turning out good printing to
compare with older slower presses,
but the Mw Excelsior ^ace restores
the Sentinel's traditionally (superior
readability.

Sewer Line
Wheaton Ave.
165 Ft haid For
Record oil Monday
The sewer construction job on
the Northwest District trunkiine,
now in it's third week, has been,
going through critical "ups and
downs", — The best progress record and also the worst since the
job started have been attained during the past week.
Morale and tempers of city Commissioners also had their ups and
downs as the work progressed or
dragged.
With about ten days of working
time gone by, the big: tile crossed
Cedar street Wednesday, near the
•sntrance to the cemetery. On Monday, the,tile was pushed foreward
165 feet to set a record for distance
completed in one day, and for low
cost per foot of 94 cents.
Laurenee Seiter, member-of the
City Commission spent part of several days on the job as foreman of
the crew laying tile".
Monday's record eight-and-one-
half hours was Seiter's last day on.
the job however, since he quit on
Monday afternoon following a dispute with his fellow commissioner
Charles Cooper. Cooper was reported unwilling to allow Seiter to
work for the city.
(A Commission member cannot
work for wages On a city project
unless granted unanimous consent
by the remaining members of the
Commission). Seiter was; on the
payroll at $2.50 per hour.
Cost went up again on Tuesday
to more than $2.80 per foot when-
the -work progressed only 48 feet
On Wednesday the record looked
better with 86 feet finished.
But disabled pumping equipment
caused a slow-down again late
Wednesday and Thursday.
Taxpayers, and especially property owners in the district were
showing more than a little interest
in the cost per foot since the work
is being performed on an hourly
basis with no limit on cost and no
contract price.
One city official told The Sentinel
"I would hate to see the costs go
completely out of proportion on this
job until it became necessary to
suspend the work and wait till
bonds could be soldfo pay the bljl."
Ideal weather for the work prevailed, and waiting home owners
on the route of the John K. line
had fingers crossed in hopes that
top speed could be reached and
held while weather offered the best
conditions.
Water in the tile ditch was being
pumped but and further controlled
by a special "cofferdam" 'placed
around the head of the tile. Three
men work inside this dam in from
three to ten inches of water. More
water flows into the open end of the
tile and empties into the creek at
the lower end of the project near
the disposal plant.
From the present location of the
tile-end, '.he direction of the line
will take it west on Wheaton to the
school property where it will angle
off towards McEwan street (US-27)
a block north of John R.
