ODE AT FAIRTIME
By Barbara Hamilton
We think that we shall never see
A Fair more promising than thee
A Fair with lovely midway dressed
In colors bright is greatly blessed
A Fair where life flows strong and free
With food and games and jolilty
Exhibit halls open for you and me
To roam-admire and gasp with glee
Grandstand shows alive with people
And horses racing to chase the steeple
All these things our Fair presents
The ground abounds with their many contents
Now, dear Lord, for this we pray
Make wind and rain keep well away
Folks wait all year for this State Fair
To display their skill or .show their mare
So all please pray when you get together
That blessed is this year with . . .

munity grant provision of the
Alaska Statehood Act to per
mit the state of Alaska to make
selections of as small as 640
acres for the purpose of com
munity expansion programs.
Under the present law, as
interpreted by the Department
of the Interior, a selection of
5,760 acres must be made if
the application is for the en
largement of a community or
for recreational use.
When the legislation was
under consideration on the
floor of the House of Repre
sentatives, Rivers pointed out
that the 5,760 minimum acre
! requirement, as related to com
I munity land selections, is not
in the interest of good land
! management as many commu
nities do not require anything
' even approximating 5,760 acres
I to meet their expansion or de
velopment needs.
