Fair Manager
Seeks Director
For Musicale
Valley residents who are in
terested in participating in a
music festival during the fair are
being sought by Marshall Sel
over, fair manager. Tentative
plans schedule the music festi
val for Sunday afternoon, Sept.
5.
“The public likes music, and
there is plenty of amateur tal
ent here,” Mr. Selover stated.
“All we need is someone who
will plan and put on the pro
gram.”
The festival, as planed now,
would consist of two parts. A
program of classical and sacred
music is programmed for early
Sunday afternoon. Later that
same day, an amateur contest
would be held. This contest
would include instrumental and
vocal selections of all kind s,
ranging from old-time popular
music to modern jazz.
The program of the music fes
tival would be broadcast by a
local radio station, according to
Mr. Selover. All Anchorage sta
tions have corresponded with
the fair's board of directors con
cerning broadcasting rights dur
ing the three-day fair on Sept.
4, 5 and 6.
Other plans for the coming fair
include a dance, which would
require the services of a caller
for old-time square dances. If
there is anyone in the Valley who
can call these dances, he is asked
to get in touch with Mr. Selover.
Another novel feature planned
for this year’s fair is an interna
tional restaurant, with conces
sions leased to such national food
experts as care to participate.
The Spanish food concession al
ready has been booked and Mr.
Selover, who is editor of a Chin
ese cookbook soon to be pub
lished, says he will turn over au
thentic Chinese recipes to any
one who will promise to follow
directions.
There are further restaurant
openings for a Swedish smorgas
bord, a native food booth, and a
French, Italian or Arabian booth.
Phones Suffer
Delayed Reaction
Following Fire
Phones torn out by the roots
during Monday night’s evacua
tion of offices and business estab
lishments in the fire-threatened
business block gave employes of
the Valley Telephone Exchange
a warm reception early Tuesday
morning.
Warning splutters from the
board and a trail of gray smoke
led to hasty wire disconnections
on the part of the operator on
duty. As a result, Palmer was
temporarily out of communica
tion with the rest of the world
for a few short minutes.
Many business phones in the
damaged block still were not
back in operation by Thursday
morning. Telephone wires were
cut or burned through and an en
tire new job of outside wiring
is necessary to re-establish phone
service in the area.
