-in u^t-me of the third annual
-nchorage Festival of Music
vas presented by Elmer Selim,
/enior sales representative with
orthwest Airlines at the May
1 meeting of the Matanuska
Valley Chamber of Commerce
meeting.
Sellin pointed out that North
west Airlines this year had
orinted thousands of program
copies which are being distrib
ted throughout Alaska and the
States, knowing that many per
sons greatly removed from the
Anchorage area will be attending
he Festival. He drew attention
to the fact that many of the ar
tists coming to Alaska for the
Festival could not be secured
for a town of comparable size
in the States. “It must be, the
intrigue of Alaska,” he added.
Script will go on sale this
week, which may be exchanged
by the purchaser for reserved
seats at any chosen performance.
The Festival offters a very wide
range of musical choices and will
be nresented June 6 through
June 19.
Another guest at the meeting
was J. E. “Jim” tP’arks, general
sales manager of Lockwood
Graders, manufacturers of po
tato handling equipment, of
Gering, Nebraska. Parks stated
this was his first visit to Alaska
and regretted the brevity of his
stay. His company has sold more
dollars in machinery in Alaska
than anywhere else in the world,
he stated.
A complete report on the
forthcoming Chamber-sponsored
Colony Day program was given
bv A1 Brooks, general chairman
of the event.
Chamber president. Gene Ried,
announce 4hat the assistant sec
retary of defense is expected in
Alaska within a few weeks and
will be meeting with interested
persons regarding the military
procurement situation. It is
hoped, he pointed out, that a pol
icy can be worked out and es
tablished in Washington, D. C.,
rather than on an area basis as
is now in practice.

to be done on the road,’’ said
Bruce Graham. Sportsmen secre
tary. Hcaner Hayes iand Jack
Zimowske have volunteered their
services and equipment for addi
tional cat work which they will
do as soon as posible. Graham
said the organization plans to
continue their work on the road
throughout the summer. “We
could use lots of volunteer help
on this big project,” Graham
added.
It was announced this week
that the Experiment Station will
release a recreation site on the
south side of Long Lake. Allan
Mick, Station director, said this
particular site is especially suit
able for recreational purposes. .

LOOK AT THE
CONSTRUCTION
4f
'and you'll choose a
Butler metal building
look at the base,
for example
The corrugations of Butler
metal wall panels are ractory-iormea to make a ■*'
weather-sealed base. Panels fit flush against the
foundation without troublesome field flashing. No*
chance for rain, rodents, or insects to get in. Qual
ity construction like this is one more reason why,
Butler buildings stay dry, are easier to heat and
actually cost less to own. Why not let us give you
