Week Official Seeks

"“courses of/action” for conserva
tion-minded citizens who wish to
fhelp “protect our public lands.
Wildlife Week, sponsored an
Mjually by the National Wildlife
federation and affiliated groups
is being observed this week. This
gear’s theme stresses the urgent
meed for people to learn more
about their public land heritage
so that they can do something
about taking care of it for the
future.
If you want to help, Greany
suggests you choose one or more
«f the following methods and
i*et busy:
1. Make it your business to
3ieam about the public lands, their
uses and many values. Find out
’what public lands are near your
Ibome and within your state. De
termine which of these uses are
^provided by them: Scenery:
Shunting and fishing; camping,
(picnicking, hiking and riding;
mature study and photography;
skiing, swimming, boating and,
other outdoor sports; timber, min-:
cerals; water—for homes, indus- 1
fries, irrigation, and electric pow
er production; grazing for live
stock.
2. Start educational campaigns
ion your community. Interest your
leaders in the protection and
careful management of the public
lands. Point out the importance
mf these lands to the recreational
enjoyment and livelihoods of peo
ple in your area.
3 Show the people who are
uising the public lands—the farm
ers, lumbermen, mining con
«ems, hunters, fishermen and
ether outdoor enthusiasts that'
ffaeir “privilege of use” does not
entitle them to abuse.
4 Protect and defend city,
(county, state and federal parks,
forests, grazing lands, and wild
life areas from encroachments by
special interests who seek <to
chisel these lands away for their
«wwn gain.

doing, study the problems they
face in making the most of our
public land resources.

CITY FILES FOR
LAND WITHDRAWAL
The City of Palmer has filed
a withdrawal application on up
per Moose Creek, it was announc
ed today by L. T. Main, opera
tions supervisor, Bureau of Land
Management. The proposed with
drawal includes approximately
5,000 acres, and lies about one
half mile either side of Moose
Creek from its source near the
base of Montana Peak to its
southernmost point approximate-:
ly three miles north of the Buf
falo mine. The withdrawal is re
quested to protect the watershed
from possible contamination
The application states that the
City Council of Palmer has fore
seen the need of supplementing
the present supply of domestic
water for the City. Moose Creek
appears to be the best source for
such water. At the present time,
there is no settlement within the
area requested. Being rough and
mountainous land, it appears to
have no value for settlement pur- j
poses. The withdrawal applica
tion requests that it be close? to
such settlement including mining
and mineral leasing activities.
TRAFFIC LAW PROHIBITS
TRACTORS ON HIWAYS
Attention was drawn this week
to the Territory of Alaska traffic
regulations, and particularly to
Section 3-406 which pertains to
restrictions as to tire equipment
(C) which reads as follows: “No
traction engine or tractor having
movable tracks with transverse
corrugations upon the periphery
of such movable tracks is permit
ted on any highway or to cross
any highway bridge without pro
tecting the surfaces thereof by
placing temporary planking un
der such treads.”

to set up a study group which
would contain representatives
from all involved territorial agen

acreage, suggested in the upper

acre. He pointed out that the
local valley area could use a di
versified agricultural program
and that edible meat is a good

project to consider but must be
developed within three or four
