Bills Are Paid,
Directors Tell
Fair Membership
Only a few Fair Association
members were present at the
stockholder’s meeting last Friday
evening, when their board of di
rectors and manager gave a pro
gress report of fair plans.
A complete financial statement
v/as submitted by treasurer Jan
Koslosky. He reported that all
bills are paid, including a $739
land payment and the $3,300 pur
chase price of the fair car. The
Association's bank balance is
only $107 now, but Mr. Koslosky
said advertising returns and re
ceipts from the sale of car tick
ets are expected to boost that
total in the next few weeks.
After the new premium list
was read, Association president
Parker Lester asked for sugges
tions from the membership.
Robert Klem asked that this
year particular attention be giv
en to the selection of judges,
choosing only those who are ex
perts in their field. He said be
believed a printed scorecard,
showing points on which dis
plays are graded, would be of
material help to the farmer. He
stressed the educational aspects
of a fair, saying the farmer could
learn a great deal from the judg
ing of his exhibits.
It was also Mr. Klem’s sug
gestion that prizes be given only
to agricultural exhibits of market
value in this area. Known varie
ties, in which several farmers
show exhibits, should be the
only ones to get prizes, he con
tended.
Mr. Koslosky advanced a plan
for paying premiums in cash,
rather than by check as in past
years.

Employers Asked
To List Jobs
Any prospective employers in
the Valley who need either per
manent or temporary help are
asked to register with Mrs. Ethel
DeLand at the Mt. McKinley Air
freight office. Mrs. DeLand also
handles unemployment claims in
the Valley, and she receives
many requests for work each

Pressure Gauges
To Be Checked
Miss Marilyn Johnson, home
demonstration agent, will test
the gauges of pressure cookers at
the Extension Office next Satur
day morning, she announced this
week. It is requested that all Val
ley housewives who wish the
gauges of their cookers tested,
bring the lid only to the Exten
sion Office before Saturday. The
name of the cooker’s owner
should be taped securely to the
lid.
Miss Johnson explained that
cooker gauges sometimes do not
register correctly after having
been in use for a time. She plans
the check-up now in order to
have all pressure cookers in
readiness for the coming canning
season.
