Board Acts To Call In Preferred
Stock In Valley Fair Association
In accordance with authoriza
tion given at the annual meeting
of the Matanuska Valley Fair As
sociation last March. Fair board
members Monday night decided
to call in all preferred stock in
the fair Association for payment
A meeting of common stockhold
ers in the Fair Association will
be called in the near future for
the purpose of amending by-laws
in conformance with regulations
set up by the Department of In
ternal Revenue regarding non
profit organizations.
Board action Monday was
spurred by new tax regulations,
passed by Congress and effective
November 1st, making non-profit
fair operations non-taxable. In
order to qualify as a non-profit
organizations, no profits of the
Fair may be used toward the
benefit of any stockholder in the
association. According to present
by-laws, preferred stockholders
of the Matanuska Valley Fair
Assn, receive eight percent in
terest on their investments. Fair
Board member A1 Hagen report
ed that there is only $1,400 in
preferred stock outstanding.
Federal taxes on Fair admis
sions amounted to $1,189 for 1951.
By amending the by-laws and
paying off preferred stockhold
ers, the Fair will undoubtedly be
able to save that amount or more
on next year’s operations.

NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
By RICHARD BLUE
Building or Remodeling?
If you are fortunate enough to
think about building or buying a
house, the Extension Service may
have something that will interest
you. We have the series of hous
ing pamphlets published by the
Small Homes Council of the Uni
versity of Illinois. Each pamphlet
deals with a specific subject, Fi
nancing the home, Chimneys and
Fireplaces. Construction Method:;.
Business Dealings with the Ar
chitect and Constructor, represent
just a few of the 25 subjects in
the series. The booklets are
punched to fit any 3 ringed note
book. The series is not complete
and the new booklets are sent di
rectly to the purchasers of the.
series.
You will find the series to con-j
tain many valuable ideas that fit
Alaskan conditions as well as]
those in the States. Since building
a home is a business investment i
involving large amounts of
money and since the average per
son only builds once in his life
time, it pays to plan well in ad
vance the type of construction.
These pamphlets are designed to
help plan before building or buy-!
ing. j
If on the other hand you have!
a place that could stand a little
remodeling, we have U.S.D.A.
publications on farmhouse re
modeling. farmhouse plans, in
sulation and weather proofing,
planning the bathroom. If inter
ested, stop by the Extension of
fice or drop us a line. These pub
lications aren’t helping anyone
in our office.
Economic Reports
Hugh Johnson has just pub
lished an account of his investi
gation of Canadian marketing of
gated were on the fringe or fron
--- -
perishables. The areas investi
tiers of Canadian agriculture and
were picked because of similari
ties to Alaskan conditions. The
results will be summarized and
published in local papers in the
near future. The complete report
is available for reading in the Ex
tension office. Mr. Johnson re
ports in an interesting narrative
style, proving that subjects com
monly considered dry and stuffy
are good reading if adequately
presented.
