cement mortar will have to be
used. Directions on the use and

With each telling, the brave bull moose who wandered thro- ugh town last Saturday becomes larger, but judging from his tracks he was, as the hunters say. a dandy. Fish and Wildlife of. ficials had apparently forgotten to tell the moose that the second season opened early this year, for the bull, with wrack esti- mated between 50 and 65 inches. wandered in the open spaces around ketehikan Spruce Mill yards, Central School, the Coop area, through the Walker street section he had attracted consid. erable attention and apparently thought it about time to get out of town, and putting on little steam he defiantly trotted out of range.

 All decorating materials such as cotton, crepe paper and vege- tation, including Christmas trees, should be treated with fire re tardant solutions, he pointed out. Cotton and crepe paper that have been treated with solutions will be so marked, he said.
 Christmas trees and greens, such as might be used for decor ating inside of buildings, can be dipped in or sprayed with the following described solution to make them fire retardant. Three quarters Of one pound of Borax and three-quarters of one pound of boric acid in one and one half gallons of water.

Market Takes
Worst BeatinQ
|SinceSept.;b
BY ED MORSE
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, May 26.-The
stock market took its worst beat
ing this week since the week of
September 25-the week of the
first reaction to President Eisen-
hower's heart attack.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks declined $3.50 to
$l77.40. Following Mr.. Eisen-
hower's attack IL fell $500 in the
week.
The average is now $14.1O
below the record high which it
reached on April 6 but it was
still $3.50 above its low for this
year reached January %.
1t had lost more than two
thirds Of the rise from January
to April. This was not an en-
couraging omen from the tech
nician's viewpoint.
1t was the third straight week
that the market had gone down.
AS the week began, the Wall
Street analysts said that the
market could be expected to test
its low points on the charts to
see whether prices would either
crash through and establish new
lows from which a rally could
eventually develop or whether
they would rebound Immediately
The averages definitely broke
through this imaginary floor
and various bullish movements
during the week got no sustained
support.
From the technician's view
point, it could take one or two
more sessions to reach an abso-
Lutte bottom in the current de-
Ginning phase of the market and
then a good rally might start
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were General
Motors off ia at Al on l89. 500
shares, Standard Oil New Jer-
sey) of ia at 55Ss, U. S. Steel
of 25s at 53?4, Fruehauf Trailer
