INC0ME TAX BOOKLET
 WILL ARRIVE IN TIME
 F0n CHRISTMAS BILLS

On f,rsU thought, the timing seems ill-advised .. for considera- ton Of the new Income Tax hand book, that is.
 Or it may be that the Internal Revenue people hope to brighten the holidays by having the l949 booklet available now.
 However, as copies of Your Fed eral Income Tax" 1949 edition, are not distributed locally, those sending for the 25 cent handbook should receive them about when needed-after Christmas, when the bills come in!
 George Osage, Deputy Collector for Alaska, brought The Empire an early copy, with note to the editor from Collector Clark Squire.
 Squire, a former Seattle neWspa- pernan, wrote in part.

INfOSMATI0Ni iS GIVEN, CUTTING OF
 CHRISTMAS TREES

Inquiries atout the right to cut Christmas trees from lands access ible to the Glacier B! .hway are being received by the Forest Service, Supervisor A. W. Blackerby of the Admiralty Division therefore issued the following information.
 Trees for home use of the person cutting, or for churches or frater- nal organizations, can be cut from National Forest land without prior approval of the Forest Officer, pi'o+ vided the trees are not cut from. any point within 100 feet of tine read, or from designated recrea- tlcnal areas. such as Aux Village area. The purpose of this restric- ton is to help preserve the natural beauty of the Glacier highway. Un- controlled cutting over period ei years would seriously mar the ap- peagance of the roadside.
 Persons cutting trees are re- quested to make sure they are satis- fled with a particular tree before t is cut It is obvious that many trees could be wasted by being cut ard then discarded in favor of a more desirable one found later.
 Christmas tfee cutters should also remember that many tracts of pri- vately-owned land .order the high- way. and that the first National Forest land to be crossed by the road is located seven miles from Juneau. There are large portions of land bordering Glacier Highway beyond Mile ' also privately owned.

Housing Assured for Mardi Gras Visitors

Florida needs to remember only
a winter or two back to the day when
hotels were pushing away Northern
sun seekers. They outnumhered
the rooms. Would-be guests, lack
ing confirmed reservations, blocked
doorways and cluttered up lobbies
With patience worn thin, room
clerks could be quite snappy. And
bellboys could be helpful to the
right people"
For instance, an arrival with a
fat bankroll and yen to spend it
would sidle up to a husky lad uni
formed in red and gold and say, in
his best sporting manner: I'll bet
$50 there isn't room to be had in
this hotel"
The higher the stake. the more
eagerly the luggage-lifter would
take it up. Then he'd proceed to
win the bet. The guest would reg
ister.- Then the smart young man
would personally escort him to a
bedroom and pocket the $50. And
the loser would smile happily at
having lost.
Things like that could be happen
ing in New Orleans within the next
week or two, especially around
March l. Anyway, it Is safe to say
