BOUQUETS,
 GRIPES TOSSED AT BANQUET

Even though there is only a balance of $350 in the treasury of the Matanuska Valley Fair Association at present, this years three-day event was un- usually successful, superinten- dents of departments stated at last weeks banquet. All present said they were more than satis- fled with the presentation of the 1948 fair, and all were quick to add suggestions for a better fair in 1949.
 It was pointed out that al though this years fair appears not to have been a financial suc- cess, several permanent i'm provements were made. Quonset hutS were erected at a cost of $3,0OO. Final payments on the grounds were made during the past summer. An automobile in the higher cost bracket was pur- chased this year.
 BanqueterS were told that there are one or two sources of revenue which can be expected to swell the funds before next year. Rental of buildings on the fair grounds is expected to aug ment Association finances. A territorial grant of $1 ,OOO also is available to the Association.
 Criticisms, invited from each person who attended by chair man Don Irwin, were primarily concerned with building and grounds improvement.
 Suggestions for interior inn provement included better light ing in the buildings; a step-shelf arrangement for display of vege- table, canning and needlework exhibits; better placarding of the classes of exhibits; names of ex- hlbltor on display following Judging; enlarged space for ex- hlbitors; better provision for protection of exhibits of value: storage space for boxes and crates used in transporting dis plays; remodelling of barn space so that fair-goers might pass by the heads of animals on display rather than at their heels.
 AS grounds improvement, ban- quet guests called for turnstile admission gates, construction of an outdoor pavilion for dancing construction of a rest spot for fair-goers, erection of bulletin boards outside of each fair building to name classes of dis plays within and erection of added Quonset huts for another year, if possible.

C0-0RDINAT0R VISITS HERE
 TO GET DATA

A six-year blueprint for the Territory's development is being worked out by the Alaska Field Committee of the Department of the Interior, it was reported here this week by Kenneth Kadow, committee head. It is the job of the Field Committee to co-ordi- nate the work of eight govern mental agencies now located in Alaska.
 The. Committee will tie togeth- CT the work of the Bureau of Mines, The Alaska Railroad, Alaska Road Commission, Bu- reau of Land Management, Alas ka Native Service, U. s. Geologi- cal Survey, National Park Serv- ice and the Fish and Wild Life Service.
 The Field Committee will plan the Territory's future and then will figure costs of putting it's plans into operation, with the expectation of placing requests for appropriations to meet those costs before Congress. It is ex- pected that the 1949- 50 session of Congress would provide the funds.
 One of MT. Kadow's jobs is to interest capital in the invest ment of funds in Alaskan indus try. Another is to provide hous- ing for the workers who will be needed to develop that industry, once funds are forthcoming.
 MT. KadoW visited Palmer last Friday, where he conferred with several Valley agricultural heads. He expressed interest in further ing the agricultural economy of VL1S dllCy dllO llC CtOhCO lIldlly questions concerning the princi- pal barriers to agricultural de- velopment.
 While here, he stated that he felt the three immediate needs of this locality were: CD A ce- ment plant, @ A sash, door and flooring factory utilizing native products, (3) a large scale build ing program designed to lower the present high costs of con- struction.
 MT. Kadow stated that he found it extremely difficult to interest Outside capital in the possibilities of development of potential Alaskan industry. He said he felt it is possible that only government aid can meet the Territory's initial invest ment needs.

The Tender Years Has
Private Screening Here

comments Thursday, January %,

Tender Years.. They were guests
of the Benton Roxy Theatre Man.
agement.
1.-THE Tender Years" Is the
story Of q father, a boy, and q
dog. In it, the well known CO.
median departs from his con-
ventional roles to create, with
surprising fidelity and. artistry,
the character of q small town
minister. The plot turns on the
insident of a boy, who has found
a stray dog, and the requirement
that he must return his pet to
its legal owner, proprietor Of q
dog pit" In which fighting dogs
meeting in Visions combat.
The film Is almost documen-
tary in its depletion of q COM
munity,s rebellion against q So
cial usage that permits cruel and
inhuman treatment Of animals.
In this story Of an awakened
social concience the fine work Of
Joe e. Brown AZ the Rev. VII
liam James Norris; and Richard
Lyon AZ his son, stands out
clearly.
II there Is a criticism to be
made, it Is that the significant
theme Of the picture becomes
"preachy" at times, detractins
from its inherent dramatic force.
The practice Of private screen
ings viii be continued when pos.
sible, said Clyde W. Anderson,

Weakness in Textiles
Catches Spectators
With Big Holdings
By J. B. WoIIoch
North American Newspaper Aliianes

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Price weak
ness in certain textiles Is expected
by some market observers to spread
in the near future because of stable
overhanging holdings. The latter,
largely in the hands of speculative
operators, are said to be glut that
will shake affected price
structures to their foundations and
lead to far-reaching adjustments.
Conhdsnt of continued relative
supply shortages, and over-optimis-
tic about the effect of purchases for
the rearmament program and the
ERP, buyers at all market levels
are said to have made commitments
far in excess of their normal re-
quirements. At the time of their
commitments, it is agreed, there was
every prospect of further price adj
vances.
Purchases by ECA already have
been far below expectations and the
Government recently served notice
that its textile needs substantially
have been covered for the balance OF
the year. The curtailment of some
textile production has served only
as temporary safety valve. The
pressure on holders of goods has in .
creased almost daily and no means
can be found to siphon it off.
Textile speculations have Melted
some operators severe losses to date,
and there are no apparent signs
that equally heavy losses will not
ensue. Liquidations of goods in any
appreciate quantities naturally
tend to drive prices lower, and the
richards are holding on, hoping
against hope that a turn in the
market will rescue them from the
predicament into which they were
throwL by dreams of inventory
appreciation.
