State Examiner
Lists Findings

Bluffton and Beaverdam school dis
tricts were cited in findings listed in
a state examiners report following
an audit of books of Allen county
school districts covering the period
from May A, 1916 to March 80, 1859.
Both districts were cited for il
legal interest payments in connection
with irregularities in the purchase
of school buses.
Findings were based on state law
provisions that boards of education
are not empowered to borrow money
and issue notes for funds to buy
buses and that boards may not incur
Indebtedness in excess of 1/10 of
one per cent of district valuation
without a vote of the electors.
The report also noted for Bnffton
district that in general fund over
draft of s11,271.41 found previously,
due to improper posting of tax re-
ceipts, the balance set by the exam
iner had been disregarded and some
bond funds used illegally for oper-
ating expenses.
A finding of s1,2o39s was re-
turned against Iutzi Insurance agen-
cy for insurance purchased by the
board of education while Leland Dill
Ter, agency manager, was clerk of
the board.
A similar finding was made for
s605.18 against Steiner Chevrolet
Sales on purchase of supplies and
storage and service charges while
John Tosh was a board member
and bookkeeper for the firm. The
state law prohibits a board member
from having any interest in con-
tract of the board either directly or
indirectly.
The Beaverdam board was cited
for illegal interest payment in The
sum of $21O.68.

All CLUBS CONTINUE FAIR TRADITION
 DURING WAR YEARS

When the war years forced tenn porary suspension of the annual Matanuska Valley Fair, from 1941 to 1947, the Valleys All Club members put their shoulders to the Fair wheel, and planned three annual shows as a substitute for the regular Fair, until the Asso- citation activities could be re- stunned in 1947.
 The first All Club show was presented in 1924. On Sept. 2 and 3 of that year, All Club members prepared 235 exhibits for display in the Fair buildings. In addition to the individual exhibits, the Valleys clubs prepared six booths, and gave nine demonstrations for Fair visitors.
 Members of the Homemaker's Council backed up the efforts of their juniors by staging a flower show and reception and tea for Palmer's new teachers. Both were held in the basement of Palmer School.
 More than 300 visitors from An chorage, the Valley and Eklutna watched the demonstrations and inspected the club and individual exhibits.
 In 1945, the All Clubs of the Matanuska Valley again prepared a substitute Fair. There were 12 club booths and 184 exhibits at this All Fair. Of the no All Club members in the Valley that year, 50 brought individual exhibits for display.
 In 1945, 400 visitors came from Anchorage and the Valley to see the All Club show.
 Fair funds were curtailed in 1946, and there was no money available for even All Club Fair at the Fairgrounds. But Val ley All Club members had a plan to meet that emergency, too they ran a progressive Fair in their own quarters, bringing in Club booths, one or two at time, and setting them up in the crafts room at the Extension Service of- flee. -.
 The 1946 Fair took three weeks to complete, but it did it's part in carrying on the tradition of an annual Fair in the Matanuska Valley.

New Buildings and New Businesses Spring Up in Palmer Since Lust Fair

the year that has passed since the
 last Fair. Five large new build ings have sprouted up in the Palmer area proper, several o1 the towns existing structures are
 adding wings to take care of their enlarging business needs, and many new homes and several apartment houses have been built since Fair-time last year.
 First new building to strike the eye of Palmer visitors is the large service station, garage and bulk oil plant located at the cor. ner of the Palmer Highway and Valley Street. Kirk's Sales and Service, a branch of Alaska Sales and Service, is the newest and one of the largest service stations in the Valley. It is managed by L. w. Bixby of Palmer.
 Travelling down Valley Street, visitors will drive past the par tially completed building that houses the Palmer chapter of the American Legion. Now only a basement, the Legion has plans in the making that will add an- other story before Fair-time of 1851.
 A block farther down Valley Street is the newer of Palmer's two drug stores, Palmer Drug. This ultra modern structure, which houses a drug store, mems clothing store, fountain and a basement photography shop, opened it's doors in Palmer late last November. Irwin Pitt and Bill Rempel are managers of the new enterprise.
 Still another block down Val ley Street, the basement dwell ing of what was formerly Alaska Seed, snuggles next door to the Steve Ward Building. Recently sold, the buildings new owner, Howard Estelle, says he hasn't made definite plans for a busi- ness there yet.
 Turning toward Wasilla at the junction of Valley Street and the Wasilla Highway, visitors will find one of Palmer's newest buildings still under construction. This 50X40 concrete structure with full basement is the new home of Severn's Cabinet Shop, owned by Lloyd Severns. MT. Severns has been doing cabinet making and carpentry in Palmer for the past three years, and has recently outgrown the small shop in which he established his busi- ness.
 Completion date on the Cabinet Shop will be sometime this win ter. MT. Severns has some ten tative plans for the building, that may call for the construction of second-story apartments.
 Circling through Palmer, ve- hlcles continuing down Matanus- ka Street will pass the new Pal mer Library, also still under con- struction. This building, which | stands alone on lot almost two blocks doWn-street from the Cab inet Shop, is being built by vol unteer labor of the Valley local of the carpenters union. It is nearing completion and should be ready for occupancy early this fall.
 Not so visible to the visiting eye, but still high on the list of Palmer improvements in the past year, are the extensions added to the Palmer Cold Storage operated by Harry Ryan, and the north wing addition to the North Pal mer Store, owned by Ed Johns. MT. Ryan's improvements were completed recently. They give added space for lockers and for

Wrestlers Like To Talk for Selves

Mr.. America.
Hunter recalls some interest
ing bouts in which such charac-
ters as Hard Boiled Haggerty
tired of battling the opponent
and began hammering on the
referee. So MS work isn't all in
in the decision department.
He also spoke of Mildred
Burke, terming her a fine wrest-
Ter" and of "the bear" which
weighs 500 lbs. and cannot be
defeated.
When asked if the life of a
woman wrestler is a hard one,
Hunter answered by explaining,
IF you consider hair pulling,
eye gouging, and body thump-
ing an easy life for a woman
suppose it is. Women wrestlers
break all the rules.
So there's the story. There
were a preponderance of cauli-
flower ears in the crowd, which
would indicate that wrestling as
ran art is anything but gentle
one.
