                THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NUTLEY SUN

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 19, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Nutley Sun and 
publisher, Frank Orechio, by noting the 100th year of the newspaper's 
printing.
  As recently chronicled by Ann A. Troy, a newspaper called the Rising 
Sun established by G.R. Miller began in 1893 in Nutley. When he sold 
his paper to William Taylor in 1894, Mr. Taylor changed its name to the 
Nutley Sun and the paper steadily improved. Later, he sold the paper to 
J.D. Foy who also changed the name to the Legal Paper of the Town of 
Nutley. It was under this ownership that the paper developed into a 
considerable success.
  The Nutley Sun was sold in 1938 to Russell Hay, and later in 1947, 
Ralph E. Heinzen became editor and publisher.
  Finally, in April 1959, Frank A. Orechio purchased the Nutley Sun and 
printing business from Mr. Heinzen and became editor and publisher.
  Frank Orechio continues to publish the Nutley Sun along with two 
other newspapers, the Belleville Times, and the Bloomfield Life. 
Although the location and equipment have changed to suit its needs, the 
paper has always been published in Nutley. I know that this paper has 
kept the citizens of Nutley up-to-date on their local events and 
concerns, and it is a better town because of its distribution.
  It is with great pleasure that I ask my colleagues to join with me in 
honoring Frank Orechio on the 100th year of the publishing of the 
Nutley Sun.
