RI-COMMUNITY FAIR
is BEING PROPOSED

AS mentioned in a recent issue
of the American, the idea of a
tri-community fair is now being
discussed by the three commu-
mites involved, namely, Bruno,
Sandstone, and Askov.
L. C. Petersen and Svend Peter
sen who were delegated by the
Askov fair committee to put the
proposition up to the two neigh
boring communities, report that
they have discussed the matter
with group of business men and
farmers at both places and in
each instance the idea was very
favorable.
Each of the three villages will
call meeting of their fair COM
mittee and take final action on
the matter. Assuming that the
action will be favorable each COM
munity will elect committee of
three and these nine will then
meet and constitute the head
committee.
The idea of a tri-community
fair is beyond doubt very good
one, and with an equal amount
of interest put forth by all three
it will tend to make a real fair.
The possibility of making it a
two day fair was also discussed
and seemed favorable; this how
ever will be left to the head COM
mittee to decide, as well as ar
ranging the dates and rotation
plan.
Should the thing materialize it
will lessen the burden consider
ably for each community and
tend to create more neighborly
feeling. The exhibits will be bet
ter and there will be many more
of them, giving the visitors much
more to see and learn, which is
the real purpose of a fair. Fur
thermore it will be possible to
get more and better speakers
and judges as we'll as interested
exhibitors to explain the good
and the bad points of the various
exhibits, thus making it edu-
cational and beneficial.

NUMEROUS CABLES ARE
 WIRED EAST TO FRIENDS

Little business was transacted at yesterdays weekly business meeting and luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce which was held at the Grill. Among the committee reports turned in, was that in connection with the membership drive. 1t was stated the Womans Club will hold their regular meeting Thursday of this week at which time the matter of assisting the chamber would be discussed.
 Secretary J. P Hannon, of the chamber, was instructed by Presi- dent P. c. McMullen to meet with Noel w. Smith, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, upon his ar rival in Seward Saturday from Se- attle and extend to him the per- sonal welcome of the citizens of Seward and if convenient, arrange a chamber luncheon in MT. Smiths honor.
 MT. E.. Berutto, former business man of Anchorage, and band leader who has moved to Seward and pro- poses to establish a business here was a guest at the luncheon during the course of which he was called upon for a few remarks. This MT Berutto did, his topic dwelling or the value of a band to community town or city. MT. Berutto plans tc organize a band in Seward at once
 It was brought out during the business meeting that numerous te egrams have been dispatched tt Washington, D. c. and to many Con gressmen and representatives during the last few days, by many of Sew ards leading business men with th' view of obtaining the support ana assistance in furthering the proposet Lowell creek project.

SEWARD BAND TO BE ORGANIZED
 BY ED. BERUT'TO
WELL. KNOW BAND LEADER WILL ESTABLISH HIMSELF IN
 SEWARD

Ii looks like Seward is at last to have a band, for with the arrival
 in town of Ed Berutto, we'll known Alaskan musician and band leader, comes the announcement that he plans to locate here permanently. To The Gateway yesterday, MT. Ber- utto stated he will establish a band in Seward providing sufficient num- Der of pupils can be obtained. There is already considerable talent available, he said, and he anticipates little difficulty in procuring the in- itial number of pupils. Lack of in struments may. prove a handicap, however, in forming the band, but this may be overcome by the pupils purchasing their own instruments, providing they haven't already got them.
 MT. Berutto will be remembered by many of the older residents as having arrived in town in 1917 with #an eighteen piece brass band. Elf forts to hold the band together at that time was unavailing for their various work and professions soon took them out of Seward and along the railroad construction line. Prior to that time he formed band at Douglas which boasted of 36 pieces.
 At yesterdays Chamber of Con- merce luncheon to which MT. Ber- utto was guest, he stated if he could secure a number of pupils, re- gardless of the fact they may not be able to play a single note on any instrument, by persistent efforts on his and the pupils part, he would be able to present to the citizens of Seward full fedged band which no one would have to be ashamed of And as an asset to the, town, he pointed out, he knew, of none bet ter than a band.
