As harvest time rolls around for the Matanuska Val
ley so also it is once again "Fair Time".
For many months preparations have been going on
t*o make the 1962 version of the Alaska State Fair bigger,
better and more outstanding than previous editions,
'•which this year's fair will prove to be.
From a very humble beginning twenty-six years ago,
the fair has grown to the point that over 30,000 visitors
attended last year. It is a fine tribute to the far-sighted
originators of the annual fair and proved their optimistic
faith in the golden future of the Matanuska Valley. With
an ample supply of Matanuska sunshine a new record for
attendance could easily be a reality this year.
With products ranging from radishes to famous
Matanuska cabbages, the Valley's main industry will be
on display, attesting to the agricultural ability of area far
mers.
To the manager of this year's fair, the hard-working
board of directors, and all personnel of the Fair, congrat
ulations on what we are sure will be a show that will do
justice to the "valley of plenty".

J they are one in sprit. The Word

A survey indicates that
there are at least 22 prasent
members cf Blue Cross who
are aged one hundred or old

reached 105 early this year.
The rolls also include a mar
ried couple of whom both are
102—and they have yet to
make a claim for hospital
isation.
From the Wall Street Jour
nal: “People are no longer fool
ed by inflation. Instead of be
ing exhilarated by its pros
pects, people are now frighten
ed by them. It’s nonsense to
think that today the promise
of more inflation would once
again send the stock market
swirling upwards or that it
would make people act more
confidently with their money
whether as individual spenders
or as managers of the money oi
great enterprises."
U. S. News & World Re
port points out that there are
24 leading indicators which
are watched closely by ec
onomists for signals of fu
ture trends in business in
general. As of a recent date,
17 of these indicated de
clines; 4 indicated improve
ment, but to a less favorable
extent than was the case of
a few month ago; only three
indicated continuing im

Sharing isn’t one of those things that come
naturally. It takes a fair bit of “character building’’
before two youngsters get to the point where they’re
happy to go fifty-fifty on so much as a bottle of pop!
Fred and Marilyn, as it happens, have learned
a lot about sharing in church. For, many years ago,
Christ clearly demonstrated that man should be
neither selfish nor greedy, and that to live success
fully he must learn to give not only of himself, but
of his possessions.
In a small, childlike, but completely joyous way,
Fred and Marilyn are putting these teachings into
practice — just as in many more serious ways, they
will be puttifig other teachings of the Church into
use, throughout their lives.
