Fair Board Contracts With Manager,
Carnival Head, Loans USGS a Building
Matters contractual consumed
hours and hours of fair board
time last Monday evening. How
ever, at the end of a plus four
hour session, board members had
negotiated one oral and two writ
ten agreements for the fair.
Accomplished first, and in a
flat three minutes of time, was
board agreement to the request
of D. J. Cedarstrom, district geol
ogist with the U. S. Geological
Survey, for temporary space in
the barn on the fair grounds. Mr.
Cedarstrom asked for the loan of
the building for a month, in or
der that geologist F. E. Trainer
may assemble a jet well rig
there. He said no other space
was available here. The board
unanimously agreed to loan the
building, since it would require
no outlay of expense.
Also negotiated was a contract
with A. E. Stein of the B & B
Alaska Shows, for the fair’s car
nival and mid-way concession.
Mr. Stein agreed to give the fair
15 percent of all rides and 15
percent of all shows, after Federal
tax is deducted. As a guarantee
of good faith, he paid a deposit of
$1,000 at the Monday meeting.
In return, the fair board agreed
to give control of the mid-way
to Mr. Stein. The carnival head
promised that no individual
would be refused space on the
mid-way. Space will be con
tracted for at the regular rate of
$5 a front foot.
The fair retained the right to
let space to two organizational
sponsored Bingo games and for
one ride. The fair also will let
the space to organizations which
wish to serve food at the fair.
All individual concessionaires
must apply to Mr. Stein for space.
Mr. Stein estimated that the
fair should realize $3,000 as its
shar of the carnival percentage.
He told board members he was
interested in a long-term con
tract, and would like to negotiate
for a three- to five-year term.
He also announced he should like
to rent winter quarters for the
carnival in the fair buildings,
after the conclusion of the fair.
The B & B show will bring 14
concessions to the fair. Its at
tractions include a very elaborate
merry-go-round (the one used in
the movie “State Fair”) and a
ferris wheel. The show carries
insurance which covers the fair,
as well as carnival owners.
The carnival is now appearing
in Anchorage. It has future plans
for appearances at Fairbanks and
Valdez before fair-time.
The final contract negotiated
Monday evening was that be

Drowned Man Cannot
Be Identified
The body of the drowned man,
picked up off Cape St. Elias by
the Coast Guard recently, was
buried in Seward last week with
out identification. A coroner’s
jury could find no evidence, in
the clothes remaining on the
body, to point to the man’s name.
His upper body was clothed in
heavy garb, indicating to the
jury that he probably was a fish
erman.
The body had been in the
water about two weeks and was
badly decomposed. However the
man appeared to have been about
55 years old, 190 pounds in
weight, and five feet, eight inches
tall.
Kiwanis Youth Move
Gets Poor Support
The attempted organization of
a senior teen-age movement in
the Valley has not been marked
ly successful thus far, Kiwanis
committee chairman Joe Hudock
admitted this week. Mr. Hudock
blamed the lack of co-operation
of Valley organizations for that
failure.
“This was not intended to be a
Kiwanis project,” he stated. “Ki
wanis merely called a meeting of
all organizations’ representatives
for the purpose of forming a
youth council. Kiwanis did not
intend to sponsor a teen - age
movement alone, and it will not
Valley organizations do not par
ticipate.”
Mr Hudock said only a few
go ahead with the plans, if other
teen-agers attended what had
been planned as an organization
al meeting last Thursday. A
party, scheduled for Tuesday of
this week, was poorly attended,
primarily because not enough
notice was given, he thinks.
No further plans will be for
mulated until after next Mon
day’s Kiwanis Club meeting. It
is possible that another attempt
will be made to call a meeting of
the representatives of all Valley
organizations.
ager Robert Criies. There was
considerable discussion regarding
the period of time covered by the
contract, but parties finally were
mutually agreed on all contract
terms.
The fair board will meet again
next week, president Clair Stock
said. The meeting will be held
Monday evening at eight o’clock
in the Rec Hall.
