tagonists Of the Marshall Plan" are
those who take a leading part In
carrying the plan out. If the COL

in favor of the Marshall Plan, either
advocates or proponents would be
better. However, the word pro-

Webster's lists it as "colloquial."

Perth Amboy: Why do golfers
shout "fore!" as a warning before
shooting?-W. w.
A. Fore is the word before without
its be-. Fore!" is a warning to
players ahead or before one that
they should be on the alert, as a
ball is headed their way. Well
hammered golfers do not shoot until
those ahead are out Of range. But
it often happens that a hooked or
sliced ball will endanger players on
another fairway. "Fore!" warns
them to watch for the Grant ball. 1

Pine trees are widespread over the
world. We find them on all in
l1abited continents, sometimes at
high levels, sometimes at low. They
are important and valuable trees
and keep their green color all
through the year.
Hundreds of thousands OF tall,
straight pines have been cut to
supply poles for telephone and tele-
graph lines.
Trees of the pine family are noted
for the thick gummy sap, or resin,
which comes from them. This sap
does much to keep them free from
insect pests.
Men have learned to take the
gum from pine trees and to make
good use of it. Longleaf and slash
pines in Southern parts OF the
United States are most important
for gum products. They have been
called treasure trees" and have
given the world close to half of its
resin and turpentine during the
present century.
Crews of about Is mep each start
working on the trees in January.
They are busy until March placing
tin cutters and metal cups on them.
Later they cut or "streak" the trees
above the cups.
A modern method is to make "
shaped cuts, through the bark and
about half -an-inch deep into the
wood. One cut is made on q tree
every week for six or seven months,
the new streak being cut just above
the one of the week before. The
streaks should narrow so the tree
will not be used up" too quickly.
Moving from tree to tree through
the forests, the men take care OF
many thousands of pines.
Drop by drop, the gum comes
to the streak and slwoly makes its
way to the cup. When the cups
are filled, the gum is dipped out and
placed in barrels.
Then the gum is taken to q still
and boiled in . great vessel, kind

3. OUR ACCIDENT RATE is far below average. These men and their
more than $4,000 fellow employees are actually many times safer at
work than they are at home! In their work, too, they have another
kind of security-their jobs are backed by an investment of $25y 900
per employee in tools and equipment. This investment, provided by
Standard Oils $1,000 owners, makes production possible and gives
employees the means to earn high wages.

POST OFFICE BATTLES
 PARCEL POST LOAD

Post office officials here, battling the stacks of Christmas parcels which arrived by sea, announced today that all those parcels which arrived by ship should be delivered by tomorrow noon.
 Hopes were expressed by Mrs Crystal Jenne, Juneau postmaster, that even the latest-arriving air parcel post could be sorted by the Christmas rushed post office em- ployees and delivered to Juneau residents before the parcel windows close for the holidays at 8 pm. tomorrow.
 She said that late-arriying air parcel post is posing a problem for the post office, since first come first delivered is the law followed in delivering parcel post.
 The greatest effort is being made to sort and deliver all parcels te- fore Christmas" she said.

|pREvIEW TONIGHT, JUDGING SATURDAY
 FOR DECORATIONS

Three expeditions will set out in the next "A hours "on grand tour, with the purpose of looking at Christmas trees, colored lights and other festive ornamentation of the Iule season.
 Two parties making the rounds tomorrow comprise the official judges in the annual Christmas Decoration Contest sponsored by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 The other trek, (first, chronolo- gically) will be by two Empire re- porters. They will set out early this evening to preview outdoor deco rations in residential districts for readers of the Saturday paper.
 Some time after tomorrow noon, which is the deadline for business firms to have decorations in place, three judges will inspect the down. town area. They are Dr. Clayton L. Policy, Dr. J. w. Gibson and the Rev. Willis R. Booth
 According to the Rev. Booth, effectiveness is the chief require ment.
 "A display need not be elabo- rate" said the Rev. Booth today. Originality and eye appeal in carrying out the Christmas theme, with or without anything commer- cial, will count strongly. Effective ness is the basis of judging. Decora- tions may be either window dis plays or exterior arrangements"
 The contest is open to all com mercial firms in Juneau. Prizes will be $35, $40 and $,o,
 A longer line of march" will take the other three judges o. F. Benecke, Bjarne Olsen and Joseph A. McLean-through residential sec tions of Juneau and the Highlands.
 They may look at pretty trim mings through windows, but will judge only the outdoor Christmas decorations.
 Lighted Christmas trees and doorway designs, roofcutouts and novelty illuminations are the most favored.

BOTH FEET OF
 MACK MERCAD0
 ARE AMpUTATED

D. B. Mack" Mercado, whose life was spared in the accident which took his fishing partner to death has lost the feet which carried him to shelter, and to rescue.
 After consultation with other Ju- neau doctors, his attending phyS- clan. Dr. Joseph O. Rude. ampu tated both feet this morning. He and Dr. John Clements performed the operation in the surgery of St. Ann's Hospital, Dr. John Gibson serving as anaesthetist. At noon, his condition was reported good"
 Ampu,ation was four inches above the ankle. the spot considered best for leaving serviceable stumps. When taken to the hospital ten days ago. Nsercado's leeS were black to six inches above the ankle joint.
 Considering the effects of shock and exposure and the results 0, walking barefoot nearly two hours on icy rocks and barnacles, Mer- cado's condition has been remark ably good" and it was believed that both feet could be saved.
 '"When we realized it would be necessary to amputate,' said pr. Rude today. I've planned to take off one foot today and the other next week.
 However, Mercado requested that they both be amputated at the same time and, as his condition was excellent, we were able to % so.
 Mack has had several picci l tansfusions and will need more. we believe there are enough donors lined up. No offers need be made now, but it is reassuring to know that a number of persons with Type o blood have volunteered.
 Mercado, owner Of the troller 31A464, and his partner were on board the vessel when it sunk Dec ember ' in a storm in St. James Bay, about 30 miles north of Juneau.
 Mack was able to reach shore and make his painful way through the storm to beach cabin, where he was found five days later by B. H. GJack) Manery and rescue party.
 When taken to the hospital Dec ember 13, Mack's greatest suffer- ing was from his badly frozen feet.
 His partner, Andy Haffner. is be- lieved to have drowned in the ac- cident. The search for him has been abandoned, and memorial services have been held
 The plight of Filipino Mack" who is a great favorite among the fishing fraternity, has touched the hearts of fellow fishermen and waterfront businessmen.
 They have lifted the 40-foot troll Ter, brought in by Coast Guard cutter. and are donating their time and skill to restoring it's seaworthi- ness.
 In final preparation for Mack's homecoming, they plan a big caulking party.
