SEVERAL FARMERS EYE $100 PRIZE
FOR BEST FARM EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Interest in this year’s individual
farm and garden exhibit at the*
Matanuska Valley Fair, for which
the top premium of the entire
Fair is paid, has been very high
* thus far, manager Robert Crites
reported at Wednesday’s Fair
board meeting. At that time,
there already were six entries in
this class.
Prizes for the individual farm
and garden display are $100 for
first, $75 for second, $50 for third
and $25 for fourth.
Farmers still have time to en
ter an exhibit in this class, Mr.
Crites said. Anyone interested is
urged to see Mr. Crites at once.
Vivian Meier, queen candidate
sponsored by the Jonesville local
of the United Mine Workers,
qualified for the contest last
week, Mr. Crites said. By Mon
day of this week Miss Meier al
ready had checked in $400 in
ticket sales. Queens must sell 300
tickets to qualify for the contest.
The Fair queen will be introduced
at a coronation ball to be held
at the Gymnasium on Saturday,
Sept. 2.
When it was reported that the
various women’s organizations of
* the Valley are not interested in
operating the Fair’s dining hall
concession this year, board mem
bers voted to assume manage
ment of the hall for the Fair. The
manager was instructed to em
ploy a cook for the three all-day
Fair sessions of Sept. 2, 3 and 4.
The cook will hire the additional
kitchen and dining room staff
necessary.
Plans for publicizing the Fair
were discussed. Board members
voted to buy advertising in both
.^nchorage dailies for the entire
<veek before Fair-time, and to
purchase spot announcements on
the two major Anchorage radio
networks.
It was decided that no program
supplement would be printed by
the Fair board. A complete sched
ule of events will be published in
next week’s Valley Frontiersman,
to be sold at the Fair grounds, and

SHOP AT
* TEELAND'S
They have milk and cheese
And butter, and peas.
And powder for fleas.
And a very nice
"May I help you, please?"
You can buy jam or jell.
Or a tinkling bell.
Or eggs in the shell.
And you'll always hear
"Hope you've been well!"
There are caps from pelts
And salve for welts.
And there're leather belts.
And a courteous
"Is there anything else?"
I've found corn in a can
And socks for a man.
As well as a new pie pan
And a smiling
"Nice to see you again."
You'll find a clothes rack.
Or some flour in a sack.
Or maybe a kid's gimcrack.
And in parting, a
"Please come back."
