way to within two miles of the
frontier city of Hyesanjin in
northeast Korea. South Korean
forces have advanced six miles
along the north-east coast and as
much as three miles in the north
west sector.

Forestry Expert
Murphey Retires
Frank T. Murphey, in charge
of forestry extension at the Col
lege, has retired after a career
devoted to development of better
woodlot programs, mostly on
Pennsylvania farms.
Except for two years in the
armed services, Murphey has
spent his time in forestry work
at Penn State.
From the time Murphey joined
the agricultural extension serv
ice staff. of the College in 1923,
he discussed and demonstrated
good woodlot management, and
said that it can be as important
as any other part of the farm
program.
Retirement does not mean an
end to this forestry career, but
rather an opportunity to realize
a long' cherished wish, as he puts
it, “to practice what I’ve been
preaching.”
