GREETINGS
The Northwestern Fair Association extends its
greetings to the inhabitants of Alaska, and a cor
dial invitation to attend, aid and assist us in our
Eighth Annual Fair. The first seven such fairs were
a success in every sense of the word. This is your
fair, and your wholehearted cooperation will make
it, and all others that follow, a pendulum by which
to mark our progress.
Within its far-flung boundaries, Northwestern
Alaska presents so wide a range of climate, physi
cal features, and industries as to appeal to almost
any taste. Here you find diversified groups of peo
ple living in various stages of civilization. As a
whole, the people of Alaska are rugged and vigor
ous, as is the land in which they live. Northwestern
Alaska is a land of romance; mountain ranges pos
sess magnificent scenery, wild animals, fishing,
garden truck, and mineral deposits that beckon the
miner, hunter, trapper, fisherman, agriculturist,
traveler, or any other lover of Nature, to revel in
their bounty.
Northwestern Alaska is the land of the Eskimo.
Here is a race of people which has been gleaning a
living from this part of the country for generations.
These native people are hardy, rugged, energetic
and resourceful. Had they not been, they would not
have survived the scourges of time. One can read
ily see these characteristics of a hardy race by
checking the ancient civilization of their native cus
toms, arts and crafts.
The annual Northwestern Alaska Fair pictures
the advance of many phases of life in this North
land. We aim to foster, encourage, promote and ad
vance the mining, agriculture, fishing, dog raising,
reindeer business, arts and crafts, educational, so
cial and economic interests of Northwest Alaska.
It is with a feeling of anticipation that we, the
people of Northwestern Alaska, interested in ex
pansion of industry and population, look to the
many airline companies for a postwar part in sup
plying efficient, reliable, speedy and comfortable
air transportation to and from Alaska, and between
villages in this vast territory. For best results, Alas
kans want competitors in postwar air transporta
tion.
A glance at the list of premiums will point out
that not only is it an accurate record of progress,
but it will show you the advancement that has been
made in this part of the Territory since the days
of the gold rush. This fair not only will be enter
taming, but very educational. It will be a stepping
stone to future generations.
We invite you, one and all, young and old, to co
operate s ' that this fair will be an outstanding con
tribut m to the community in which we live.
A DOUG JOHNSON, President.
