What he writes is less a tribute to small-town photographic Skill and more an appraisal of the capabilities of the offset tide which is sweeping today's can press. The tide is running strong here In Arkansas. I have before mo the 1968 edition of the Arkansas Press Association's Rale Directory, which arrived this morning, It lists as state's 30 dallies, or 20per cent; which compares with 4 out of 30, or 13.3 per cent, a year ago. The same tide is noted among the weekly press. Arkansas now has 31 offsetters out of a total of 128 weekly or semi-weekly papers, or 24.4 per cent; the figures a year ago were 25 out of 130, or 19.2 per cent.

The offset tide has run strongest among the small and middle-class papers, for an obvious reason: Small-city news- papering is more or less a do-it- yourself business. Usually the person who takes a picture sees it all the way through to the press. Disgusted with haphazard results he looks for an Improved system and turns to offset.

The results speak for themselves. Today's Star represents a fortune spent In new equipment Installation and testing job that required two years, ending only last October.
