PLANNED AT FAIR
An interesting demonstration
of ear-stopping will be staged
during three days of the Fair by
the Palmer Moose Lodge,
A cash prize of $100 will be
paid to a participant if he can
stop the car he is driving at 35
miles per hour, within 50 feet.
This contest is one being staged
throughout the States, and held

to be.

the prize will be Mayor Kenneth
Lynn who will attempt to stop
the car on Friday at 3 p.m. On
Sunday, it is hoped that Acting
Governor Weino Hendrickson,
who will be a guest of the fair

make the attempt.
