The old church was built near the tree. Tradition has it that Fenwick and the Indians signed their Brst treaty under the majestic oak. The deed to the property on which it stands is still preserved by the Salem Historical Society, with a list of the articles given in pay ment. Mrs. Howell staled that under the old oak the pioneer settlers of the section drilled for the Revo lutionary War before joining Washington's army at Valley Forge. The fialem chapter of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution are proud of the landmark, and have gathered acorns from the tree, which have been carefully planted, and the young trees have been sent over the country. Shortly after the World War, an acorn from the tree was planted on a bluff over looking the Pacific on the Cali fornia coast in memory of the sons "lost in the cause of peace." The trees which have been planted at various places as mem orials, some many years ago, have grown into "pictures of living beauty, thus forming a chain of friendships from the Atlantic to the Pacific." The trees were presented to the school by Russell, John, and Bobby Luther, young nephews of the do nor, and sons of Mrs. Hilda Luther. Jack Messer, county superintend ent of education, accepted the tree in behalf of the school and the county. The D. A. R. mem bers attending, and several others aided in the planting of the tree, each placing a shovel of dirt. Other features of the impressive program included the singing of patriotic songs and the pledge of allegiance to the nag by the stu dents of the Crabtree-Iron Dun school.

Mispronounced Words Millions of words flow out over the air from American broadcast ing stations every day. Often the same word emerges from receiving sets in widely varying phonetic forms. Dictionaries grow out of date; new words appear; new pro nunciations arise. To sot a stand ard for announcers and speakers the National Broadcasting Com pany engaged Dr. James F. Ben den, chairman of the department of speech at Queens College and di rector of information of the Amer ican Speech Correction Association, to prepare a handbook of pronun ciation. : From the 15,000 words in the book, Dr. Bender has selected a number which, aside from unusual place names and technical terms, are frequently used and often mis pronounced by educated persons. Some of the words have more than one accepted pronuciation; but in each case, with an eye to uniformi ty, a single recommendation is made.
