ANCHORAGE FAIR PLANS VALLEY DAY ON SUNDAY

Matanuska Valley day, which will be Sunday, Aug. IS, is to con- clude the three-day Anchorage fair which opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon. At that hour a helicopter swooped low over the fair grounds, located on the school property at E Street be- tween Tenth and Eleventh, to cut the ribbon threaded across the entryway to the fair.
 This formal opening will begin a full three days of softball games, Midway fun, industrial and farm and garden displays. Deadline for bringing display ex- hibits to the fair was set for noon today, except for entries in the flower show. Valley residents, who have flowers they would like to display, are invited to compete in this event, according to Bill King, fair manager.
 Demonstrations are planned for this afternoon and again to- morrow afternoon in the home economics section of the show. Miss Marilyn Johnson and Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen, both of the Extension Service, will preside over this portion of the fair. Miss JohnSon'S demonstration will

 Door prizes are to be given away at these demonstrations. Competitive events in the home economics section of the fair in- clude sections on baking, cloth ing, canning and fancy work. Prizes are offered for winners in each event.
 Special events planned for Matanuska Valley day include a bait-casting tournament spon- sored by the Anchorage Sports mems Club. This event, to be held at the wading pool just across from the fair grounds, is open to everyone.

Not Many More Students Register For School

Only limited number of ad- ditional students have been en- rolled in the Palmer school dur ing the past week of registration, superintendent Francis Malcolm said today. The pre-enrollment period was opened for this week, in order to determine the number of students in the Palmer area who will seek schooling here next month.
 School heads have authorized local school officials to make every effort to accommodate all students. While still too early to make a definite announcement, MT. Malcolm said it appeared likely that all Palmer pupils will be placed somewhere in the school system this term.

Valley Folks Visit Leonard Bergan Family

MT. and Mrs. Leonard Bergan and family, former residents of the Valley now living at Moni- tor, Ore, visited with relatives in Dunn County, North Dakota recently. They were fortunate in meeting Tom Moffitt and Merle Anderson there; they had missed seeing the Alaskan wanderers on the coast.
 During the Bergan's visit, a picnic was held at Lake Ilo so that they and MT. Moffitt might meet all their friends and rela- tives.
 MT Moffitt writes that one of his most enjoyable experiences of the trip was his visit with MT. Anderson's aged grandparents who are capably operating a 15- cow dairy in Minnesota.

Coop Can't Act On Hospital Plan Without Letter

Final action on the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating As sociation offer to rehabilitate sewer, steam and water lines of the present Valley Hospital plant is awaiting definite word from the hospital board, Carl Rasmus- sen of the MVFCA said this week. MT. Rasmussen said his organization was prepared to take action to rehabilitate the lines, in accordance with pro- posals submitted several weeks ago, as soon as a letter of ac- ceptance to those proposals is received.
 Late last month the Coop made it's offer to the hospital board. h addition to its offer with regard to the utilities at the hospital, the Co-op's proposal stipulated that the present building must be ut:- lized for hospital purposes only for period of at least five years.
 The hospital board objected to the final proposal, which limits the buildings use to hospital pur- poses only. In a joint meeting with members of the MVFCA executive committee, a compro- mise agreement was worked out, whereby the hospital guarantees a five-year purchase of steam from the Coop. In addition, it was agreed that the Coop would be given the opportunity to buy the building back at the original purchase price of $7500, if the board ever decides to sell.
 Board members had under stood the compromise agreement would be carried back to the full Coop board for approval. How ever MT. Rasmussen said no further action could be taken by the Coop until the hospital board makes written proposal, which will embody the compromise agreement.

Sportsn1en Plan Alaskan Game and Fish Dinner

The directors were informed that the committee appointed to investigate a prize to be given away at fair-time had recom- mended the purchase of binoc- ulars. An automatic shotgun or pistol were named as substitute choices.
 Other fair plans suggested for the Sportsmen included the spon- sorship of a show, made up of the outdoor-life slides and mov- ies of club members. It was point ed out that show of some length could be developed, which would interest fair-goers in the work of the Sportsmen. MT. Stock sug- gested that local merchants might be interested in display ing sporting goods in the hall where the show would be staged. It was decided to investigate the availability of the gym before planning the matter further.
 Directors assigned food re- quirements for the game dinner to all club members, before ad- journing the Monday meeting. The clubs hunters will be re- quired to supply the following foods for the Oct. 2 dinner.

ARRC Asks Foreclosure 0nCo-opLoan

Members of the Alaska Rural R h b l itation Corporations board of directors last Monday unanimously voted to recom- mend to the Farmers Home Ad- ministration that the loan to the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co., operating Association be called immediately. The Coop bor- roWed S292,000 from the former organization at the time of its establishment, signing demand notes. At present, about $225,- 900 remains outstanding.
 The Corporation action was taken because of the breach of the loan agreement between the MVFCA, FAJ and the ARRC, ac- cording to C. w. Peters, Corpora tlon manager.
 It was emphasized that the cor poration's action was not an at tempt to undermine cooperative effort. We're not trying to kill the Coop" MT. Peters stated. We just want it to break from the deadlock which has throttled it recently"
 Specific points of Aggression on the part of the Coop were listed as follows:
 (a) Under the agreement. the Coop was pledged 10 submit any reports required by the government. in the form ap- proved by the government. These reports have not been made.

Plans for game and fish din ner, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2, were threshed out at last Mondays meeting of ae directors of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen. A central committee made up of Bruce Graham, Dr. F. R. Sims, Ralph Goodrich, Clare Stock, Leo Lu- cas and Walter Cooper was ap- pointed to make final arrange ments for the dinner and for the evenings entertainment.
 .Sportsmen directors also voted to place before the club a plan for the erection of outdoor fire places at favorite picnic spots, and to place stoves in shelter cabins used by hunters. In each instance, signs would inform the camper that he was able to make use of the equipment through the courtesy of the club. It was felt that proper care would be given to the equipment if this were done.
 A Directors decided, in line with this plan, to get in touch with Alaska Road Commission heads to see if turmoil crossings might not be dozed near picnic spots, so that cars need not be parked along the highways. ..~

made in Holmes county to sell
more stock in the Nitrogen plant

planters of Mississippi, and of
the necessity that at least an
additional two million dollars of
shares in the plant be sold by
December 81. 1948.
A small per cent of the poten-
tial persons who will gladly buy
stock has been contacted due to
the small number of persons
soliciting sales of shares in the
plant. ~-
Mr.. Sullivan informed that the
week beginning November 8. has
been designated for Holmes coun-
ty to put forth a special drive
on the sale Of stock, and that

tunity to help themselves to
overcome outrageous prices and
