 Stagerging Sum

EDMONTON, P)-A 60-year- old mans submission to the urge to "get away from it all is be- lieved responsible for an air search which to date has cost more than $35,OOO, Northwest Air Command said Saturday.
 Missing is V. B. Murray of Washington, D. C., civilian air man who last Friday sent a letter to a United States friend saying that he was leaving civilization for a while" next day filed a flight plan to Grande Prairie, 240 miles northwest, and never ar rived.
 A 25,000-square-mile area-l00 miles broad along the line of his indicated route - searched many times by R.C.A.F. and civilian air craft has failed to produce him, though rumors of an airplane in trouble has filtered out of the dense bushland area.
 Meanwhile, Margaret Olden- burg, retired geologist of the uni versity of Minnesota, her pilot and the pilots wife, have been re- ported found, safe and alive

ADMIRALTY ISLAND MAY BECOME PARK

WASHINGTON, (P)-A bill to make Admiralty Island, Alaska, a public park and game refuge was introduced Saturday by Senator Capper R.-Kas0.
 The bill says that the park shall be under the control of the Secre- tary of the interior and that his regulations shall be aimed at the freest use of said park for recrea- tion purposes by the public and for the preservation of the natural curiosities and scenic beauties thereof"
 A provision would permit pros pectors and miners, however, to shoot game or birds "as may be needed for their actual necessities when short of food"
 The bill would authorize an ex- penditure of $2O,OOO a year to maintain the park.
 A notation on copy of the bill sent by messenger to the Asso- ciated press said it was the last bill to be introduced by Capper, who is retiring.

Alaskans Not To Be Consulted In Land Withdrawals

ANCHORAGE, (P - Three more land withdrawals for colon ization projects in Alaska will be made in the near future, officials of the Alaska Development board said Saturday.
 George Sundborg, consultant Herbert Hilscher and other board officials said news of interior de- partment plans for additional withdrawals came from William E. Warne, assistant secretary, af- ter the development board pro- tested two previous withdrawals.
 The Alaskans said it was indi- cated additional withdraw S would be made under procedures similar to those on the Kenai pe- ninsula and at Dunbar. Locations of future settlement projects were not disclosed.
 Sundborg and Hilscher said the development board presented Warne with resolutions request ing public hearings before land withdrawals are made.
 Instead of getting assurance that Alaskans will be heard in connections with colonization plans," Sundborg said, i've were told of three additional withdraw als that would be forthcoming"
 A development board resolution said secretary of interior Krug had pledged publicly that no more such withdrawals would be made without previous consultat n with the people of Alaska. De- spite such pledges, the resolution added, "the people of Alaska learned through announcements from Washington that large with drawals of desirable lands would be made on the Kenai peninsula and elsewhere for purposes not clarified and for objects which in all likelihood cannot be accom- plished within a reasonable length of time."
 The resolution also asked that the Kenai Peninsula and Dunbar withdrawals be restored for en- try, and that future withdrawals be made only after proper hear ings at which their purpose has been clarified and fully explain ed to the people of Alaska"

When electric lights are used to
trim the tree, be sure the insula-
tiOn is not worn or the sockets
loose. and don't attach too many
light strings to one outlet. A blown
fuse is the signal of a dangerous
overload.
Immediately after the holidays,
the dry tree should be removed
from the premises. Christmas
wTappings also should be taken out
as soon as possible, and it is a
good idea to put them in a covered
metal barrel or cOntainer.
Children can help in the preven-
ton of accidents too, by helping to
keep the floor clean so that no one
will fall over the wrappings. and
by putting away their toys. Many
other falls could be prevented if
only people would realize the
chance they take when they stand
on flimsy boxes and chairs in their
enthusiasm to afix the star or angel
