Library's newspaper archive project set to open
May 21, 2007 - 3:45PM


Australian newspapers printed before 1954 will soon be available to view for  
free online. 
The newspaper digitisation project by the National Library of Australia is  
expected to be available from the beginning of next year. 
The library's Jan Fullerton told a parliamentary committee the entire project 
 will take around five years to complete. 
"Within this project, we are planning to digitise one newspaper from each of  
the capital cities and the territories from the beginning of their time until 
 1954 which is the copyright cut off," Ms Fullerton told the hearing. 
"We (the national library) will begin to have things available by early next  
year for searching on-line. 
"It will be available free for anyone to search the content of those  
newspapers."

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-OMAHA "THE GATEWAY" DIGITIZATION (FROM  1920)

The Olive software is a little worse than we've come to expect from the  
Brooklyn Eagle.

I checked for "reuben sandwich," supposedly invented in Omaha. These cites  
are earlier than 1956, when the "reuben" won a national sandwich competition 
and  really burst upon the scene.

UNO Student  Newspaper Archive Now All-Digital; Issues Available Back to 1920s
Omaha  - Nearly every issue of the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s (UNO) 
student  newspaper, The Gateway, is now available. The depth and

g)   breadth of this all-digital offering stretches back to the 1920s.
 
“It’s an amazing resource and completely searchable,” said Les  Valentine, 
UNO university archivist. “People can browse through old papers, look  for a 
specific topic or name and even search advertisements. Anyone doing  research on 
UNO or Omaha will find this incredibly helpful.”
 
UNO’s Dr. C.C. and Mabel L. Criss Library coordinated the digitization  
effort and is committed to digitizing additional and forthcoming issues of the  
campus newspaper. The online Gateway can be accessed at

_Squirters Squernacular_
By HAROLD CLARK
(...)
1. Girls, if you walk into the drug store and the good-looking guy behind  
the fountain yells out "PINEAPPLE," you may feel flattered, as that means, in  
good English, that he thinks you are a wow, a honey and a cute little trick.  
But, if he hollers "EIGHTY-SIX," he doesn't like your type.
2. A salmon salad is known as a "BROTHER."
3. An order for tuna fish is known as a "DEEP SEA."
4. Hot chocolate--"STEAM ONE."
5. A chocolate malted milk--"A BURN."
6. Two chocolate malted milks to go out means "BURN A PAIR CATCHIN' AIR IN  A 
BUCKET."
7. Bowl of chili--"BOWL OF RED."
8. Coca Cola--"STAB ONE."
9. Lemon coke--"SHOT IRISH."
10. Deviled egg sandwich--"LARGE DEVIL."
 
11. Peanut butter sandwich--"A ROCKY."
12. Coke without any ice--"STAB ONE GOING SOUTH."

However, she doesn't know how long she could get along on steaks instead of  
Rueben (sic)sandwiches, which to the uninitiated consist of Swiss cheese,  
sauerkraut, and corn beef.

_Duncan Hines Will Shudder_
_At Crazy Food Concoctions_
...
It seems whenever a crowd of people get together, someone always comments  
that his stomach has been acting up--he feels nauseated and can't get rid of the 
 gas on his stomach.
...
maybe it's something that can't be helped, but then again maybe it's  
something he ate the night before. A look on the menu at the concoctions which  
people eat might turn many persons' stomaches without eating a bite.

_Lemon Rice Soup_
For his favorite dish, the poor fellow may have eaten a reuben sandwich;  
sauerkraut, cheese and corned beef on rye bread toasted. Or he may have just  
downed some lemon rice soup;...
