UNION VOLUNTEERS WORK ON BALL PARK
Civic pride, interest in local
sports, and cooperation with
various Fairbanks unions are all
being combined in the construc
tion of concrete-block dugouts
and additional bleachers at
Memorial Park this spring.
Members of Laborers' Local 042.
Brick and Block Layers' Local 2,
Teamsters’ Local 959, and Carpen
ters’ Local 1243 have been donating
their time during the past week to
erect the much-needed improve
ments.
Assisted by members of the vari
ous leagues that play in the park,
the union men have been working
busily to complete the improve
ments before the baseball season
starts.
Besides installing the dugouts and
building additional bleachers, base
ball officials hope to install con
crete block restroom facilities at
the park. An all-electric scoreboard
will also be installed this year.
Increased Seating
With the improvements, the park
will have an increased seating ca
pacity of 1.500 this year. The
| large dugouts are designed to hold i
I 20 men with room to spare. The
restroom facilities at the park are
I being designed so they may be
utilized by persons using the camp
ing facilities adjacent to the park,
as well as by baseball fans.
H.A. ‘ Red” Boucher, one of the
chief proponents of Memorial Park,
boasted that it is probably the fin
est baseball park in Alaska, and
Poppy Day Slated
For This Week
Saturday is National Poppy Day—
a day sponsored by the American
Legion Auxiliary to commemorate
living and dead war veterans.
American Legion Auxiliary pop
pies are made by bed and wheel
chair patients in veterans hospitals

community centers, as part of their
occupational therapy.
The auxiliary supplies veterans
; free materials for making the pop
j pies: enables veterans to earn money
by paying them for every poppy
| they make; and arranges for volun
teers to present poppies so that all
funds collected are used for rehabili
tation and child welfare.
Pioneer Park . . .
(Continued From Pg. 3)
! didn’t want the Pioneers to have
that particular section of land. “The
! Council seems to want to put the
park anywhere but where the Pio
neers want it,’’ he observed.
Baker ended his statement by
pointing out that the Legislature
j took the Council’s telegram in good
i faith, believing the Council would
support the Pioneer Park. If the
Council reneged on this matter, he
concluded, why should future Leg
islators take other such telegrams
in good faith?

estimated that it would have cost
almost a quarter of a million dol
lars to build, had it all been con
tracted out.
Boucher proudly pointed out that
the park had been built almost com
pletely by volunteer work and con
tributions on the part of the com
munity. He urged that area resi
dents continue to support the park
so it may remain a tribute to civic
pride in the Fairbanks area.
