Migratory Bird Recommendations
 Responsive to requests of Cham bers of Commerce in the towns of Southeastern Alaska, the COmmis- sion adopted resolution asking the Advisory Board Migratory Bird Treaty Act. and the Department of Agriculture to zone the Tern. tory and establish open seasons for the taking of migratory birds at a more suitable time The Com missions resolution asks fer one zone to inc'ada Stg,haastern Alas ka East Of the 141st meridian where the open season should be from Neon, September 20, to Nov ember 20 and the remainder of the Territory West of the Hist meri- >dian in another zone. with an op- en season from Noon, September 1 to October 31. as long as the 60 day open season is retained
 The opening of the season at noon is required throughout the United States and Alaska under the provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act regulations.
 Un CT the treaty with Canada, September l is the earliest date that the season can be opened in Western United States and Canada,
 Realizing the desrability of an p earlier opening date in the north ern part of Alaska. the Commits sion passed a resolution six years ago asking that if and when the Treaty Act is renewed a provision be made to permit the opening of season is ] nofthern Alaska on August 15. This request is still on record with the Department and will undoubtedly receive fay oraible consideration when the treaty is revised, as it is under stood of the northern provinces of Canada have made a. similar request.
 Game Refugees
 The Commission again endorsed the proposed establishment, of a national park to include the pres ent Glacier Bay National Monument with adjoining areas. There is but little commercial development in the proposed park region. With it's plentiful supply of game and birds including considerable numbers of large brown and grizzly bears, add ed to the many natural scenic won ders, it is believed the park would ? soon become on the outstanding tourist attractions in Alaska and serve admirably as game refuge to assure the perpetuation of the large bears about which there is so much apprehension in the Stat es.
 The Southern boundary of the Big Delta Game Refuge is to be changed from Mile 257 on the Rich ardson Highway to Mile 269, re- ducing the size of the area from I, 23 miles of highway to II miles. This refuge was established last year to provide additional protec- tion for the introduced buffalo Tang ing in that section.
 This modification of the Big 2 Delta or McCarty closed area will open for hunting the region around Beals Cache, the closing of which has been the principal complaint of some of the Fairbanks residents
