FAIR PROBLEMS
ARE MULTIPLE
AND MINUTE
The pre-season trivia of fair
management harassed members
of the fair board with dozens of
little problems at last Tuesday’s
regular meeting. Board members
devoted many minutes of time to
the problems of procurement and
construction of the planned board
fence.
Directors agreed to buy 1x4
planed lumber from Goat Creek
Mill for fence material, and to
purchase fence posts from Dan
Sullivan. Work of erecting the
seven-foot fence is to get under
way at once.
Board members examined Quon
set huts and buildings on the fair
grounds, and made tentative al
lotment of space. They inspected
the kitchen and made plans for
cutting a new doorway leading tc
an area at the back of the present
kitchen quarters, where a tent
dining room will be erected.
Space in the building, formerly
used as a dining hall, will be con
verted to additional display space.
It was voted to allow one en
tire Quonset hut for Homemakers’
clubs booth competition. Division
of space within that hut will be
the problem of the several clubs
planning to compete in that class.
Directors voted to assess all or
ganizations operating the dining
hall 15 per cent of the gross re
ceipts. They requested that all or
ARA EMPLOYES HELP
FLOOR WOMEN'S WARD
AT VALLEY HOSPITAL
As a result of the recent seri
ous illness of a fellow employe
of the Agricultural Research Ad
ministration, there’s a new green
linoleum floor in the women’s
ward of the Valley Hospital this
week.
This is how it happened:
An office worker at ARA be
came seriously ill and needed
blood transfusions. His co-work
ers contributed the blood he
needed. Later, payment for that
blood was made by the Veteran’s
Administration, and the donors
turned over their “blood money”
checks to the hospital, to use for
equipment or supply needs.
The list of donors who are re
sponsible for the new floor in the
ward was not completed at press
time. Their names will be pub
lished as soon as hospital records
are complete.
Jack Newcomb volunteered to
assist in the labor of laying the
linoleum, in order to make the
project as nearly cost-free as
possible.
ganizations wishing to serve
meals in the dining hall, address
' a letter to the fair manager, Ro
j bert Crites, at once. The request
| must be in writing.
Fair board members meet again
Tuesday evening, in the fair’s ad
ministration building, at 8 o’clock.
