WITHDRAWALS ASKED AT WILLOW STATION
 AND SlMEONOF ISLAND

The Alaska Railroad has sub mitted a request for the establish ment of a reserve 100 feet wide by approximately 1440 feet long adjoining the railroad right-ot- way near Willow, it was an nourced today by the Bureau of Land Management. In 1852 the ARR purchased an additional area 100 feet wide around the wye and extending along the rightof-way south of Willow station. The proposed reserve ad- joins this land.
 Willow, Mile 1857 on the All aska Railroad, being approxl- mately midway between the An chorage and Curry Terminals, is freouently used as the meeting point for trains and the tie-up place for work gangs and equip ment. With increased traffic IS was necessary to extend the sid ing at this point ard additional tracks are needed for work gang spurs and station facilities.
 Sea Otter Reserve
 Al application for designation of Simeonof Island south of the Alaska Peninsula as primarily valuable in the sea otter restora- ton program has been filed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. This Island is the focal point of sea otter populations in the Shu- magin Island area, presently har- boring approximately 3-4OO of these rare and valuable mammals about it's shores. This winter the area is the scene of experimental work in the capture ard holding of sea otter for the stocking ot other Alaskan areas.
 The FWS wildlife area will be- come a part of the National Re fuge system, and will be manag- ed similar to other designated wildlife areas which have con tributed successfully to produc- ton of such Alaskan species as fur seal, moose, brown bear, and musk OK. The island is suitable for grazing and would remain open to lease for this purpose.
 Conservationists and sports. mems organizations throughout Alaska have endorsed the crea, ton of this sanctuary as essentia to the restoration of the sea otter in the territory.

The 1855 convention of National

vealed some interesting figures
about women and sewing:
The women who sew creatively
equal the entire population of the
81 largest cities in the United
States, or 38 million
The envelopes of the patterns
they bought in 1858, laid end to
end, would trace a path around
the United States for over 10000
miles. . The piece goods they
used would drape the earth at the
equator approximately Is times
or $4,000 miles. The thread
they used in 1858 would sew to
the moon and back over 1000
times, or one billion miles.

The announcement that French

skirts in convenient packages with
complete instructions for sewing
should be a welcome addition to
the "Do-It- Yourself movement.
Simply by whipping out needle

This should be welcome news
to the woman who claim that they
know nothing about selections of
fabrics, or TO those women who
dislike the actual cutting of a gar
ment. 1t should prove a terrific
help to the gals who pour over the
pattern book counters for hours
trying TO decide upon a suitable
style. All of the models have in
cluded beads and embroidery de-
signs as additional establishment,
for the "Glitter-Bugs."
Coming at a time when more
American women are sewing more

should increase the trend toward
home sewing-with the profess
sional look, of course. Statistics
