Final Revision Of Premium Book Is Continuing

The endless number of final revision" meetings for the 1850 premium book of the Matanuska Valley Fair was continued for still another session this week. Supervisors and fair board mem bers met together last Tuesday, but suggestions for improvements We're still flying thickly when board president Clair Stock end ed the meeting.
 Next weeks meeting of the fair board, to be held next Mon day evening at eight o'clock in the Rec Hall, is expected finally to wrap up the final revision" work.
 Most important suggestion of fered at Tuesdays meeting was Al Brooks outline of chicken style shoW," in which poultry ex- hibits are dressed in clothing for the show. Fair board members thought the suggestion an excel lent one, and will consider the proposal for this years fair.
 There was prolonged discussion of~the rule changes for the indi- vidual farm and garden display, top prize for which will be $1OO. Most of the supervisors attending felt that the rules should require that all exhibits in this display be grown on the exhibitors farm, rather than merely in the Valley.
 It also was suggested that the class be enlarged to include group exhibits, if any agricultural or ganization or group of farmers

wished to participate. Opinion was almost evenly divided on the merits of this suggestion.
 In the livestock division, it was decided that there were to be four classes of entries: Holstein, Guernsey, Cross-bred and Others. Bulls were eliminated from com petitive entry throughout all classes. A straight calves class was added, and age limitations of existing calf classes were more clearly defined.
 A grand champion ribbon was added to each class and prize was added for the ''best cow of the show"
 The breed classes for pigs were eliminated and all breeds will compete in one class.
 Dr. s. c. Litzberger, super intendent of the vegetables and grasses division, announced sev- eral small additions and elimina- tions to the various classes of competition. He explained that he is endeavoring to promote competition in classes of vege- tables and grasses best adapted to Valley growing conditions. Those classes eliminated, in al-

Mir. and Mrs. Robert Cole of Fort Richardson were uninjured last Saturday evening, when their automobile overturned on the Matanuska River bridge near Pal 5ner. MT. Coles, at the wheel of the vehicle, said he could not clearly explain the cause of the accident.
 The automobile failed to make the turn onto the bridge. It turned over, hit an upright steel girder and rolled to it's side across the bridge, throwing up an ef- fective highway block for some time, before it's removal. The ac- cident occurred about II o'clock last Saturday evening.
 Other than a broken pair of glasses for the driver, the Coles escaped from the accident un- scathed. Their automobile is con- siderably damaged.
