May 22, 1952
It is FAIR weather again, and
time that all FAIR stockholders
should meet and determine just
what we are going to do about
the 1952 Fair.
A meeting has been called for
May 27th at 8 p.m. at the Co-Op
Club Room. Election of officers
is due. A Stockholder Drive
should be made to get everybody
into the Association who wants
to make the FAIR a success.
A growing interest in the Fair
has been shown by the past three
years. Our exhibitors have in
creased in numbers and the size
of the exhibits here grown each
year.
Let every body who thinks the
Fair should expand come out
Tuesday, May 27.
Some important business is
coming up at this meeting.
Sincerely yours for a BETTER
and BIGGER FAIR for 1952.

P.S. If Palmer is to become the
Territorial Fair, now is the time
to make ready for such an In
stitution.
Bartender Fined $25
For “Chivalrous”
Assault and Battery
Joseph Hyland, a bartender at
the T and T Sourdough Bar, was
fined $25 in City Magistrate’s
Court Wednesday morning on
a misdemeanor charge of assault
and battery.
The plaintiff, Leon Holbrook,
charged that the defendant had!
jumped over the bar, knocked
him to the floor, and pushed him
against the bar and the wall.
The altercation took place about
1:30 a.m., May 13, in the T and
T Sourdough Bar. Three witnes
ses to the action testified at the
trial.
Hyland claimed that he was
acting in his capacity as a bar
tender when he wrestled with the
plaintiff. He said that Holbrook
had cursed a woman sitting at
the bar. He said he wouldn’t al
low such remarks made to a
woman while he was behind the
bar. The City Magistrate, after
hearing the testimony, observed
that he did not believe such chi
valry came under the heading
of a bartender’s duties, adding
that Hyland’s action suggested a
more personal interest. Hyland’s
employer. Arthur Thompson, said
that under similar circumstances
he would have reacted as Hyland
did, except that he would •walk
around the bar instead of jump
ing over it.
