MINSTREL SHOW IS SLATED
Saturday night the Main School
Auditorium curtain will ring up on
the “Hilarities of 1962,“ the Zone
2 Lions’ Minstrel Production.
The show will feature minstrel
type entertainment, featuring an
interlocutor (Harold Byrd), end
men, chorus, soloists, and novelty
acts.
The production is the combined
effort of the five Lions Clubs with
in the zone: The College, Delta,
Fairbanks, Midnight Sun and North
Pole Lions Clubs.
The entire proceeds from the
show go to sight conservation, a
charity adopted by Lions Interna
tional.
Locally, the sight conservation
fund is administered by the nurses
of the Fairbanks Health Clinic. The
fund is used to provide eye care, eye
examinations, and eye glasses for
needy children and, in some cases,
adults.
Although in many instances those
receiving aid from the fund pay
back the benefits they receive, the
fund still becomes depleted each
year. The Lions annually attempt to
raise $1000 to $2000 through their
Zone Show to replenish the fund.
Club members have been turning
out for rehearsal three times a week
for the last month to get the show
ready for presentation this week
end.
Shows will be presented Saturday
night, Sunday afternoon, and again
Sunday night in the Main School
Auditorium.

Council Gives Green Light J
To Noble Street Pave Job I
Following a lengthy discussion Monday night, the Fairbanks
City Council decided to (1) not widen Noble Street, but proceed
with-paving the road in its present condition, (2) to pave Noble
St. using City money, rather than waiting around for State money,
and (J) to proceed with present’
plans to widen Barnette Street prior
to its paving.
Councilman Red Boucher opened
discussion by objecting to the
City’s “lack of tact" in considering
the widening of both Noble and
Barnette. He explained that some
of the property owners on Noble
had not been informed of the pro
posed widening before reading of
it in local newspapers.
Boucher also questioned the pro
posed widening, which would be
done to conform to State standards,
so State money could be used for
the paving. He stated that he did
not feel it was worthwhile to go
to the trouble of widening Noble
when there was still some question
as to whether or not the State would
actually participate.
Brewington Says Go
Councilman Darrell Brewington
stated that he felt the City should
1 go ahead and pave Noble without
waiting for the State. “I’d rather
not mess around with this asphalt
program ... I feel we should
build them this year," he said.
Councilman Ted Cox felt just the
opposite: “If we can’t get State aid,
leave it like it is,” he said.
Councilman Boucher came back
with the reply that he didn't trust
the State Highway Department. He
pointed out that the Department is
having trouble enough in Juneau
without having to worry about
Fairbanks.

floor and objected to the “throwing
away" of State and Federal money.

“throwing good money after bad."
Finally the Council voted to pave
