. Fair Board to Meet
The final business of the 1948
Matanuska Valley Fair will be
concluded at a meeting of the
fair board, scheduled for Tues
day, Nov. 9, president Parker
Lester announced this week. The
meeting is still somewhat tenta
tive, however, depending upon
the travelling schedule of some
board members.
Profits Not Counted
Carnival profits were still a
matter of doubt at press-time
this week. School heads estimate
that the Carnival guests were
equal in number to those of last
year. Unofficial estimates on
concession proceeds place the
profits at a possibly higher fig
ure than last year’s.

La Mont Hamby Is
Interred Friday
Funeral services for LaMont
Hamby, 37 years of age, were
conducted from the United Prot

noon. The brief memorial service
was conducted by Rev. Victor
Alfsen. Duane Huntley sang.
Pallbearers were Don Irwin,
George Small, Lou Henke, Jack
Scott, Dr. E. F. Graves and Dave
Bryant. Interment was in the
Palmer Cemetery.
Friends were asked to omit
flowers. A memorial fund has
been substituted. The fund will
be used to purchase needed
equipment for the Valley Hospi
tal.
Mr. Hamby is survived by one
son, Billy, and by his widow,
Kay. He had been a resident of
the Valley since 1942, and was a
former employe of the Matanus

Would Pretty Up Highways
The Alaska Development Board
is expressing interest in the
beautification and sign-stand
ardization of Alaska’s ever in
creasing network of roadways.
At a recent meeting the Board
passed a resolution calling for
uniform highway direction and
mileage markers. The board
also suggested that immediate
steps should be taken to mark
points of historic or scenic in
terest, and to prevent erection of
advertising signs along the road
ways.
