Fourth Picnic
WASILLA. — “Just a family
picnic kind of day. with a little
fun in the way of races and
games for the kids, and a
choose-up sides softball game” is
the way Pat Carter outlined Wa
silla’s plans for the annual
Fourth of July celebration. Mr.
Carter has been named head
committee-man by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, who sponsor
the event.
Wasilla-ites will begin to gath
er at the new VFW playground
at about 11 o’clock next Monday
morning, and they’ll stay as
long as the mosquitoes will let
them.
Picnickers are expected to pack
their own lunches. However the
VFW Auxiliary will serve ice
cream, and hot dogs as refresh
ments. The Boy Scouts plan to
operate a soft drink concession
on a money-making basis.
Mr. Carter said he was plan
ning for 300 participants in the
day’s celebration. There is no
plan for a dance or any evening
activity.

Sportsmen occupied most of the
fair board members attention, at
their recent meeting. L. C. Stock,
Sportsmen president, appeared
before the board to report the
needs of the club.
Mr. Stock said his group would
utilize the log cabin located on
fair property, if it could be re
paired. He was asked if the
Sportsmen would undertake re
pairs, but he replied that was
impossible. The board at length
agreed to foot the bill for mate
rials costs, and to solicit labor
from the Carpenter’s Union.
In further business, the board
okayed a trip to Fairbanks for
