Fair Board Revises
Premium Book,
Considers a Manager
Little business, other thai
changes and amendments to th<
1950 premium book listings, wai
conducted at last Monday’s fail
board meeting. The matter of se
lection of a fair manager agair
was postponed, when Robert
Crites asked time to consider e
counter offer proposed by the fair
board to his letter of application
The fair board and Mr. Crites
have not yet agreed on the matter
of salary for the three-and-a-half
month’s job.
It was reported that territorial
funds for agricultural fairs still
are frozen. Board members voted
to wire the territorial board of
administration, which met last
Tuesday, to urgently consider the
matter of releasing fair funds,
which also were unavailable last
year.
A Kiwanis Club class was add
ed to the fair’s livestock depart
ment, to give opportunity for
showing the calves being raised
under the Kiwanis calf club.
Prizes for this class were fixed at
$5, $4, $3, $2 and $1, the same as
in a similar 4-H Club class.
Prizes for the best individual
farm, home and garden exhibit,
won last year by Max Sherrod,
who w'as given a trip to Chicago,
