CO-OP PLANS
MASS DISPLAY
OF AG. PRODUCTS
One of the largest displays in
the Snodgrass exposition build
ing will be the agricultural and
dairy products to be shown by
the Matanuska Valley Farmers
Cooperating Association.
The display will be located to
the right of the building, just in
side the entrance in the same
location as used the past two
years. However, the display has
been enlarged this year and will
feature the beautiful vegetables
produced in the valley, as well
as the dairy products produced
by the Co-Op. For the first time,
grains will be added to the dis
play this year.
Last year this exhibit was
photographed again and again—
—in color and black and white,
not only by local viewers but
especially by people visiting
from the States who were seeing
for the first time the vegetables
the valley has become so famous
for. The mass display is sure to
^raw the same amount of atten
tion this year.
Elsewhere on the grounds
farm equipment will be display
ed by the Co-Op garage depart
ment, and the Co-Op will enter
a float in the parade which will
be seen in Palmer at 3 p.m. on
Friday.

taining variety show. All events

Woiildn’t You
^ *
“Ho, everyone that v thirsteth,
come ye to the waters, and he
that hath no money; Come ye,
buy, and eat; yea, come, buy
wine and milk without money*
and without price. Wherefore do
ye spend money for that which
is not bread? And your labour
for that which satisfieth not?
Hearken diligently unto me, and
eat that which is good, and let
your soul delight itself in fat
ness. Incline your ear, and come
unto me: hear, and your soul
shall live; (Isa. 55:1-3)
To be sensible of our poverty
and acknowledge it is a certain
means of obtaining the supply
of all our needs. Whoever feels
the need of pardon can find par
don. The sense of thirst is a sub*
ficient warrant that God will
give to the thirsty the water of
life freely.
Who are the invited? Ho every
one. Not the Jew only, but the
Gentile, the poor, the maimed,
the halt, the blind, the deaf, all
are called to the marriage sup
per. Whosoever can be picked up
out of the highways and the hed
ges is welcome to the marriage
feast. It intimates that there is
enough for all. Christ can sup
ply al our needs. He can meet
every circumstance.
What are the qualifications re
quired in those who are wel
come? They must thirst. “Bless
ed are they which do hunger and
thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be filled.” (Matt 5:6):
“Let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will, let him
lake of the water of life freely.”
(Rev. 22:17). Those that are
athirst are invited. Those who
feel their sense of need. Wouldn’t
you respond to the cry and long
ing of your heart to come to the
“Well of living water” found
pnly in Christ Jesus? Pie is the
fountain opened to all mankind.
He is yours for the asking.
