be some article of kitchen equip
ment.
It was announced at Wednes
day’s meeting that board mem
bers. not serving on the execu
tive committee, had been as
signed definite fields of work.
These board members are re
quested to appoint department
superintendents in their fields.
Assigned tasks were:
Women's fields and 4-H
work, Mrs. Ilah Senski; indus
trial displays and entertain
ment, Paul Martin; premiums
and livestock, Don Irwin;
grounds and buildings and ag
ricultural display. Mads Jo
hansen; advertising, conces
sions and premiums, Marshall
Selover.
Mrs. Margaret Cope has been
named clerical assistant to the
board.
In reference to the board’s at
tempt to secure additional land
for fair grounds from the Alaska
Rural Rehabilitation Corpora
tion, M. D. Snodgrass reported
that the request had been re
fused at this time. ARRC board
members stated that when “need
is demonstrated” for additional
land, the land will be available.
It was added that the board felt
present grounds were adequate
for the type of show now being
staged.
Mr. Selover, fair manager, re
ported that tickets on the fair
car, which is now on display in
Palmer, had been distributed in
both Palmer and Anchorage. He
said sales were lagging and at
tributed that fact to a general
lack of money, some adverse
criticism stemming from last
year's fair, and too many other
events being planned for the im
mediate future.
Mr. Selover said Mayor Z.
H. Loussac of Anchorage had
given permission to display the
car on the lawn before An
chorage's city hall, and that
plans were being formulated
to display the vehicle on Fort
Richardson as well.
The fair manager reported that
advertising space in the premium
book was about one-third sold
at the present time.
Several additional plans for
fair publicity were advanced by
Mr. Selover.
It was stated that no further
development could be reported
on plans for additional fair build
ings at this time. The board dis
cussed the purchase of tarps or
tents for added display space,
and Jan Koslosky was instruct
ed to write for prices.
Use of the fair car for pub
licity purposes was discussed.
Members of the board expressed
themselves as absolutely opposed
to use of the vehicle, which will
be given away at the fair. Some
voiced the opinion that it should
be trucked to Anchorage when
put on display down there. Mr.
Selover reported that there are
only two miles registered on the
speedometer at present.
Have A Daughter
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Neeley of
Gakona became the parents of a
baby daughter last Tuesday aft
ernoon. The little girl, their
first child, was born at the Valley
hospital.
Agricultural Committee
Okays Plan For Earm Tour
(Continued from page 1)
judging should be left to 4-H
leaders and to the Extension
Service rather than to the fair
judges.
It was recommended that a
committee be named previous to
fair time to visit Valley farms
and interest farmers in exhibit
ing their products. Mr. Irwin
said he thought the suggestion a
good one and promised to carry
it back to the fair board.
Mr. Lester reported that mem
bers of Valley Producers, Inc.,
still had made no request for a
proposed grading school. The ag
ricultural committee will sponsor
such a school, if vegetable grow
ers request that it be held.
Mr. Lester reminded commit
tee members of the need for ma
terial for the agricultural radio
program, which is heard from sta
tion KFQD each Tuesday, Thurs
day and Friday at noon. Farm
news, announcements of farm
meetings and reports of meeting
activities of farmers all can be
utilized on this program, he saui.
Roland Snodgrass suggested
that one broadcast be given over
to an announcement of Colony
Day plans, and later to a pro
motion of fair plans. Mr. Snod
grass also recommended that the
committee give thought to the
plan of promoting the Matanuska
Valley Fair as Alaska’s state fair
as soon as a worthwhile class of
agricultural exhibits can be ob
tained.
