SPORTSMEN DISPLAY
TO BE IN LARGER
BUILDING AT FAIR
Because the Matanuska Valley
Sportsmen exhibits at Matanus
ka Valley Fairs have always
drawn thousands of viewers, the
group has been moved to larger
quarters again this year.
For several years their exhibits
were shown in the old log cabin,
now used at the Fair Museum. A
continuous flow of spectators
through the small building made
a move into the main building
necessary. Even this larger space
did not prove adequate and this
year they have been moved; to a
quonset building where there wil’i
be ample space for displays as
well as room for the spectators to
spend as much time as they wish
looking at the furs, fur garments.
trophies, and other displays.
An interesting section to fea
tured this year will be displays
from the Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice and the Alaska Department
of Fish and Game. The Fish and
Game display will include a tank
of live fish brought in from the
hatchery at Fire Lake consisting
of various species of fish found
in local lakes and waters.
The Sportsmen Rifle Club will
have a bi" display of their tro
phies and equipment; along with
a display of antique guns, pow
der bags and ivory pieces loan
ed to the group by Maud Hosier.
During the Fair the Sportsmen
will award a Sno ’N Bio snow
suit as first prize and a car coat
of the same brand as second
prize.
Marie Westenbarger, secretary
of the Sportsmen Rifle Club, is
acting as chairman.
In addition to their popular dis
plays, the Sportsmen will operate
a shooting gallery on the midway.
The gallery has been built just
this year and will probably prove
to be one of the most popular.
concessions. Sportsmen who have
not yet sent in their work detail
cards are asked to do so immedi
ately so that the work lists may
be completed, with working
hours set at the convenience of
members.

Lei’s Go Haniiag
THE EASY WAY
Wasilla, Willow, Kashwitna, Talkeelna! With the tang of autumn
in the air those names conjure thoughts of good moose hunting.
The best hunting can be reached by
THE ALASKA RAILROAD
Season Opened
August 20th
The "AuRoRa daylight stream
liner, leaves Anchorage and
Fairbanks daily (except Tues
day) at 8:30 a.m., taking you
through the heart of Alaska's
moose belt. Why not go hunt
ing the easy way, aboard a re
clining seat coach of The Al
aska Railroad. Step off the
train where you know the
hunting is best.
Start the Day Right
l w i
You can eat a man-sized
breakfast in the dining car of
the "AuRoRa" when you start
your hunting trip! Also, count
on a good 'dinner when yon
return. Ala carte and club
meals and beverages served.
Fishing’s Still Good, Too
Don't forget that although it's hunting season, you can still go
fishing. In fact, some say the fishing's better because so many
sportsmen are out with a gun instead of a rod.
Sportsmen! Inquire from our i
ticket agents about free baggage
checking aboard trains for your
camping outfits. They'll go in the
baggage car and will be put off
when you get off to hunt or fish.
