LIBRARY PLANS
FUND DRIVE
WASILLA—The Library Asso
ciation met here last week to
balance its books and take stock
of the building situation. Mem

short of the sum needed before
library construction can begin.
They hope to meet that shortage
through popular subscription.
Members of the Association ex
pect to start a door-to-door
campaign in the near future.
They ask that local residents
give generously to this project,
which already has been too long
delayed.

Other suggestions called for
added athletic events for out
door interest; track and field
events were suggested. It was
agreed that more evening ac
tivity should be planned so that
fair crowds can be held at the
grounds for longer periods of
time.
Publicity built around Mata
nuska Valley’s outsize vegetables
was pointed out as an excellent
advertising medium. Added dis
plays were requested — green
house exhibits and a competi
tive exhibit of farm butter, eggs
and cheese were named as es
sential parts of coming fairs.
Outdoor displays of vegetables
for the benefit of camera fans
were suggested. A competitive
exhibition of color slides was
recommended for next year’s
fair. Contests for students in
craftwork and handwork were
suggested as a means of adding
interest in this phase of fair
work.
The need for fair souvenirs
was discussed. One suggestion
was that fair-goers be given or
sold a tiny packet of flower
seeds as a souvenir.
Better qualified judges, select
ed far in advance of the fair and
given adequate instruction by a
competent but disintei'ested per

son, were said to be a particular
need. Superintendertts expressed
themselves as not altogether
satisfied with this year’s judging.
At the conclusion of the eve
ning, Mr. Irwin asked fair board
members for suggestions. M. D.
Snodgrass stated that he be
lieved a queen contest would add
interest to the sale of car tickets
at future fairs. Mr. Snodgrass
again deplored the lack of civic
interest in the fair, except as a
means of financing individual
enterprises.
“The fair board will cooperate
with the whole Valley all the
rest of the year, but for the three
days of the fair we want, and we
must have, the wholehearted co
operation of every civic and fra
ternal organization in the Val
ley,’ he stated.
It was the final suggestion of
the fair board, that committees
be named to put recommended
changes into action. These com
mittees are to be announced at
the next fair board meeting, and
will be expected to work out
their specific problems before
the January stockholders’ meet
ing.

VOTE FOR
Donald MacDonald/ II
"The Father of the Alaska Highway"
FOR TERRITORIAL HIGHWAY
ENGINEER
Appointed by President Roosevelt as Alaska Member
of the International Highway Commission
The man who during half a lifetime on his hind legs
has blazed the trails of the North.
The man who under his own steam since 1929 has stu
died on the ground, mapped and fought for, in the political
field—
TIIE TOK CUTOFF, THE GLENN HIGHWAY, THE
FORTYMILE ROAD, THE HAINES’ ROAD, THE
ALASKA HIGHWAY (TOTALLING 2,000 MILES)
UNTIL THEY WERE BUILT.
HE ADVOCATES THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
COASTAL ROUTE TO THE STATES W'HICH WILL
SERVE SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA.
OFFICIALLY, HE LOCATED McKINLEY PARK
ROADS, THE STEESE HIGHWAY, THE FINAL AN
CHORAGE-PALMER CONNECTION AND OTHERS.
MacDonald envisioned in 1929 a backbone system to con
nect the isolated roads of the North: A system that has al
ready tied in the main existing roads; a system that can
logically be expanded until all the mainland cities and min
ing camps, and farm areas can be reached by car.
EFFICIENT LAND TRANSPORTATION TO AND
WITHIN THE TERRITORY IS THE KEY BOTH OF
STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT.
If the people wish to realize this vision in its entirety,
they should support the man who conceived it and can, on
his record, make it come to pass.
