Manager Coming
For The Co-Op?
A report from a reliable source
of information this week dis
closed that a new manager for
the Matanuska Valley Farmers’
Co-Operating Association is ex
pected to arrive in Palmer today.
He is said to be driving north
over the Alaska Highway.
Carl Rasmussen, executive sec
retary of the MVFCA, said Satur
day that he could not definitely
confirm the report. He stated the
Co-Op had hired new managers
at several times in the past, only
to have them fail to arrive.
Mr. Rasmussen promised fur
ther information as soon as au
thentic details are available.

is not expected to be complete
until September, 1953.
Present plans call for the con
struction of a new 110 k. v. trans
mission line between Palmer and
Anchorage and for the erection
of a sub-station in Palmer. Loca
tion of a station here will make
possible a decrease in local pow
er rates.
The Eklutna project, if ap
proved, will be constructed by
the Bureau of Land Reclama
tion. REA will handle distribu
tion of power. It is expected that
the Bureau of Reclamation will
set up an Alaskan office as soon
as the power development pro
gram is approved. It is probable
that office will be located either
in Palmer or Anchorage.

Oscar Kindgren, present at the
meeting to report on the bingo
concession, presented several
recommendations for an improv
ed fair next year, as did several
other board members.
Suggestions for improvement

points:
(1) Discing and levelling of
parking ground; (2) construc
tion of turn-stile admission
gates; (3) erection of fence com
pletely around fair grounds; (4)

cover building costs; (5) imme
diate posting of “no trespass
ing” signs at fair grounds; (6)
creation of a special shelter row
for use for an automobile show
at coming fairs; (7) participa
tion in fair planning by an ad
visory committee named by An
chorage’s several service clubs;
(8) construction of an outdoor
dance pavilion on the fair
grounds, in order to hold crowds
at the fair for a longer time.
M. D. Snodgrass complained of
the lack of local interest in the
fair. He said Valley clubs used
the fair as a means for profit to
themselves. He particularly de
plored the many raffles at the
fair just past. “We furnished the
crowd, and they made the
money,” he asserted. “I attend
ed one dance that was nothing
but a raffle party.”
