 It was announced at Wednes- days meeting that board mem bers, not serving on the execu- tive committee, had been as- signed definite fields of work. These board members are re- quested to appoint department superintendents in their fields. Assigned tasks were:
 Women's fields and All work. Mrs. Ilah Senski; indus

 Mrs. Margaret Cope has been named clerical assistant to the board.
 In reference to the boards at- tempt to secure additional land for fair grounds from the Alaska Rur a Rehabilitation Corpora ton, M. D. Snodgrass reported that the request had been re- fused at this time. ARRC board members stated that when need is demonstrated'' for additional land, the land will be available. It was added that the board felt present grounds were adequate for the type of show now being staged.
 MT. Selover, fair manager, re- ported that tickets on the fair car, which is now on display in Palmer, had been distributed in both Palmer and Anchorage. He said sales were tagging and at tributed that fact to a general lack of money, some adverse criticism stemming fir om last years fair, and too many other events being planned for the inn mediate future.
 MT. Selover said Mayor z. H. Loussac of Anchorage had
 given permission 10 display the
 car on the lawn before An
 chora9e's city hall. and that
 plans were being formulated
 10 display the vehicle on Fort Richardson as well.
 The fair manager reported that advertising space in the premium book was about one-third sold at the present time.
 Several additional plans for fair publicity were advanced by MT. Selover.
 It was stated that no further development could be reported on plans for additional fair build ings at this time. The board dis cussed the purchase of tarps or tents for added display space, and Jan Koslosky was instruct ed to write for prices.
 Use of the fair car for pub licity purposes was discussed. Members of the board expressed themselves as absolutely opposed to use of the vehicle, which will be given away at the fair. Some voiced the opinion that it should be trucked to Anchorage when put on display down there. Mr. Selover reported that there are only two miles registered on the speedometer at present.
