SITKA. Alaska, Sept. 16-Tht i Community Fair, sponsored by the Sitka Womens Club, and held al day yesterday at Community House was roaring success. Kids espe- cially enjoyed it and most of them seemed to stay from the opening at 10 am. until closing time at 10 pm.
 One of the outstanding features of the Fair was the display of U. N. and Near Eastern countries flags which covered the walls. These flags were made by Sheldon Jackson Junior College students for graduation projects during the past few years. A prize offered to the one who identified the most flags was won by Ivan Rezek.
 Another distipctive feature was the Russian Tea which was served by Mrs. Edwin VanHorn and Mrs. Nick Lindquist. And, during the evening, a style show was featured by the Sitka Bazaar, Comics Dress Shop, Wis Shop and Mar ians.
 The success of the project ex- ceeded everyone's expectations. The fish pond was fished dry by early afternoon and the candy sale put on by the Library Board ran out of merchandise at the same time. Fresh supplies of pop and coke were delivered throughout the afternoon and evening.
 The community feels deeply grateful to the members of the Sitka Women's Club for the tre- mendous amount of time and thought put into the project and many expressed the wish that the ladies will make this an annual porject.

Instead they voted to issue the $53,000 needed immediately for the new fire truck, sidewalk repairs, sewers and drainage
