Southeastern Alaska Fair
Opens "Wednesday; Displays
Better Than Previous Fairs

Next Wednesday afternoon the
Southeastern Alaska Fair Association
will formally open it's doors to the
public upon its Fifth Annual Fair
and the largest undertaking of the
association The Fair will be held
in the old Juneau Hardware Co.
store building and warehouse, giving
the Association larger floor space
than was permitted last year. For
four days and nights the exhibits
and entertainment will be available
to the public.
The primary purpose of the Fair
to demonstrate the resources OF
Southeastern Alaska will be accom-
plished in the display of a greater
number of local exhibits than has
adorned previous fairs. The second
ary features which contribute to the
educational and social aims of the
Association. will be met by addresses
upon HORTICULTURE Horticulture, and
kindred subjects. The displays of
school work, needlecraft culinary
art, and other domestic sciences, will
again play prominent part. To add
to the gaiety of the occasion there
will be musical numbers, dancing
programs, and vaudeville skits by
well known local artists.
Exhibit Space Ready
Manager Jack Laurie has complet
ed the construction work of the Fair
and booths, tables and display racks
are already in place. The compile
tion of this work in advance of the
opening day will avoid the confusion
that attended the first days of pre-
vous fairs. The old store space OF
the building is to be used for dancing
and to obtain desirable surface the
floor has been scraped, planed, and
sandpapered to fine polished
eveness.
In arranging this years program
the children have not been forgotten.
A complete schedule of fireworks
has been arranged for the four days.
An honest to goodness clown from
Ringing Brothers famous circus has
been engaged to entertain them.
There also will be prize contests OF
81 juvenile nature.
Laurie Enthusiastic
Manager Laurie makes an enthus-
iastic manager and he appreciates
what previous managers of fairs
realized; that is, if you are to at
tract the people to the Fair to look
over the exhibits you must cater to
the love of amusement in many o,
them.
I'VE all love circus or carni-
val" says Manager Laurie. 1T is
human; and like the gaiety that
goes with harvest times the carnival
spirit seems appropriate to our FAIR.
At least that is the way the direc-
tors of the Association look upon
their work and that is the plan we
are trying to carry out. During the
Fair there will be music in the air
and the rat-a-tat of the drum. Wheth-
er old or young we want the people
of Southeastern Alaska to come and
view the progress being made in
developing our natural resources. If
they can do this and then enter into
the carnival spirit giving vent to
their youth and becoming young

mel within five years from next July
but acting upon suggestions by Pres
ident Coolidge the committee in
serted an amendment merely author
izing the increase as the necessary
funds are allotted yearly by the bud
get bureau and appropriated by con-
greSS.
The enlargement of the personnel
by more than 5000 men and 4O3
officers from grades of second lieu
tenant to colonel would place a fixed
charge of S40.O00,OO0 a year on the
treasury and the President was re-
ported as feeling that the imposition
OF this maximum should be deferred
for some time.
In line with this suggestion the
committee made another amend
ment under which authority for the
increase would begin July l, 1927,
instead of next July, as the house
had proposed.
Some administration officers took
the view that the increase in the air
service personnel from S342 men to
10000 men should be included with
in the 11S.OO0 maximum for the
standing army, but the senate COM
mittee did not concur in that view.
