Fair Association
Calls in SI,305 in
Slock Issued in 1936
Probably few of the public
spirited citizens who subscribed
for preferred stock in the Mata
nuska Valley Fair Association
back in 1936 ever expected to get
their money back. Everyone knew
the Fair would be a non-profit
venture, and that it would take
years before it could be expectel
to operate in the black.
This year. 15 years later, thes?
1 individuals whose combined
dal of $1,305 in stock purchases
nade the Fair possible, are get
ling their money back. Not only
are they getting their money, but
also the rich satisfaction that
comes from underwriting a com
munity venture that has devel
oped through the years into an
institution they may well be
proud of. That the present suc
cessful Fair is due to the efforts
they put forth in the early days,
they can be well assured.
witn me rair gening Digger
and better thru the years, enough
money was realized from the 1951
Fair to reimburse these original
stockholders. This week the Fair
Association is publishing a rollcall
of the 69 individuals, asking them
to turn in their stock for cash.
Many of them are still living here
in the Valley. Number 1 on the
list is Don Irwin; Number 2 is
Ralph Horton; and M. D. Snod
grass is third on the list. Others
whs* advanced money as evidence
of their faith in the Fair have
died during the past 15 years, and
for still others, present wherea
bouts are unknown. Anyone who
knows the correct address for any
of those listed in the Fair Associa
tion advertisement is asked to get
in touch with one of the Fair
Assn, board members so that re
imbursement can be made.
The Fair Association Board is
taking this opportunity when
money is available for the pur
pose, to make the Fair Associa
tion a non-profit organization in
compliance with Territorial law
and the Federal internal revenue
regulations. To do this it is ne
cessary to call in all preferred
stocks for payment!.

Experimental Houses
Ivan Branton, Experiment Sta
tion engineer, couldn’t figure why
one of his experimental houses,
insulated with peat moss, didn't
hold the heat like he thought it
should. When he took off a cou
ple of the siding boards, the rea
son was plain to see. In one 27
inch space between the window
and the floor, there was 18 inches
of moss. After a repack job, Mr.
Branton expects a better showing
for moss insulation.

Misdirection
By BOB KLEM
I was huntin' for a rabbit!
I needed one most bad—
It vias that old eatin' habit
That was makin' me so sad

And I sure shot him dead!
If only he had headed north
I’d have shot him in the head.
