A major lifting operation is going on this week at the Fair Grounds in preparation for ex- hibitors and visitors of the 1851 Matanuska Valley Fair which be- gins next week, Saturday.
 According to Fair Manager Parker Lester, the entire grounds have been moved, and a hand scythe is being used on areas not accessible to the mower.
 The poultry barn is receiving a complete overhauling. New pa per is being placed on the east and south sides. New coop ar engagements are in the making to afford room for all exhibitors.
 The livestock barn got a new roof, and the south lean-to was fixed up considerably. New pan els are being made for the sheep and pig divisions. All barns are being fumigated thoroughly.
 Mother Nature pulled a dirty trick during our early spring winds, the manager stated. "She moved two huts off their footings, but these will be lacked up and put back in shape in due time."
 All of the huts have had gen. eral cleaning and will undergo minor remodelling in time to ac- commodate this years exhibits.

Dewey 10 Visit Valley Monday
New York Governor to be Guest Al Chamber of Commerce Luncheon

Word that Governor Thomas E. Dewey had included a visit to Palmer next Monday in his ap- proved schedule of appearances in the Territory prompted a spec ial meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors last night at Rec. Hall.
 Plans for entertaining the gov ernor were purposely left incom- plete by the Chamber members, in line with DeWey's expressed wish for no public speeches and no large gatherings while he is in Alaska. The New York gover- nor emphasized the fact that his trip is non-political, that the pri- mary purpose of his visit is to learn at first hand, a few facts about the Territory.
 According to the approved schedule, Dewey plans to fly to Palmer next Monday from Mt Mckinley Park for a Chamber of Commerce luncheon at noon. Fol- lowing the luncheon, he hopes to confer with Valley leaders on ag- ricultural problems of Alaska.
 The Chamber of Commerce luncheon honoring Dewey will be open to Chamber members only. Since it will take place in the usual Coop Club Room, only 50 tickets will be available at price of $500. Tickets go on sale at Bettys' at 9 a. m. Friday morning (tomorroW). Any tickets remain ing unsold after 5:30 D. m. Satur- day, will be available to non- members. Money will be refund

196fh Combat Team Frees" Palmer from Grip of "Aggressors"

Defense units of the 196th Regi- mental Combat Team were still holding the Palmer Airport today in preparation for any counter attack of the "aggressors", now busy defending the gates of Fort Richardson against the powerful assaults of infantry units suppor- ted by tanks.
 Almost all signs of the week. end invasion has disappeared from the Palmer area as the de- lenders, in their tactical march down Glenn Highway, proceed to their Exercise Totem Pole" objective.
 Saturday and Sunday Palmer was in the thick of the battle. Motorists could scarcely get on or off the highway as the conveys of jeeps, tanks, trucks, and other vehicles passed through in a steady stream.
 According to local reports, an "agressor" officer was captured Sunday at Alpine Inn and two or three of the "agressor" M. P.'s were hustled out of town as the defense forces took over the local bars.
 Although the maneuvers all went according to plan, with the defenders ultimately routing ag- gressor forces, the mock warfare took on a sinister realism for many observers.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE QUALITIES IN
 FAIR QUEEN RACE

Over 5000 tickets have been turned over to Valley Fair Queen contestants since the contest start ed, Parker Lester said this week. However, only about 500 stubs have been returned. With their books distributed throughout the Valley and Anchorage, more of the contestants could probably qualify were they able to get all their books together.
 Joyce Hardage, the last Queen contestant to register, is the sec ond to qualify. She turned in over the required 200 tickets sales earlier this week.
 Attractive posters appeared during the week, with most of the business houses displaying one or more of them.
 Carnival Arrives
 MT. Lester also announced the arrival of the B and B Alaska Shows. Arriving Tuesday, the troop has been busy setting up equipment and preparing for their second appearance at a Mat anuska Valley Fair.
 The B & B Shows are the only ye r-round Alaskan carnival group in the Territory and make group
 their headquarters at the fair grounds. They have been appear ing through out the Territory this summer.

Perry Richards of Highway Mile 43 Is Victim of Hit and Run Driver

Perry N. Richards, fl, home steader living at Mile 43 on the Anchorage-Palmer Hig way, died at 0:20 p. m. Saturday in Providence Hospital, Anchorage, of injuries received in a hit and run accident about 6 p. m., less than one mile from his home.
 Held in Anchorage's Federal Jail on charges of manslaughter is John K. Sauer, cab driver for the City Cab Company of Anch- orage. He was arraigned Monday morning in U. Commissioners Court, Anchorage. Bail was set at $10,000.
 Sauer was arrested by Deputy Marshall Oscar Olson after 96- mile-an-hour chase which ended .near Rusty Dow's home, this side of Knik Bridge. During the chase, Olson had no idea he was after hit and run driver. He and Fed eral Jail guard Andy Anderson had noticed the cab weaving along the highway and were try ing to catch up with him. Just as they were putting Sauer inside their car, a driver of a pickup truck pulled up and pointed at the cab driver.
 That's the man., he said. He just killed fellow up the high way"
 Meanwhile passing motorists had discovered the accident vlc- tim and went into town for help. Stan Laird of the Highway Patrol and Deputy Marshall Bill Bouw- ems quickly went to the scene of the accident, where BouWens and two M. P.'s, on maneuVers in the vicinity, administered first aid treatment. Laird went after Dr. Bailey, and the latter accompan- jed the still-conscious man to Providence Hospital.
 There it was found that Rich ards had suffered broken back, fractured left leg, and lacerated scalp. He died shortly after ad- mission.
