FATHERS, HEED
By CARLTON MORRIS
in the Gates County Index

Some months ago, / sat in a
huge hall and listened to a number
of people as they attempted to
make speeches of one kind and
another. Some were pretty good
and some were not so good in
Guiding my own.
Our subject was concerned with
young boys and after while the
master of ceremonies called on a
gentleman from neighboring
county. Like myself he was not a
very good speaker in the accepted
sense for he had no ready flow of
words or soul stirring oratory, but
he spoke of subject that was
dear to his heart, his son. l was
in complete accord with what he
said.
when l first saw my son." he
said, cit did something to me"
The man paused a while and he
waited so long to continue l be-
gan to feel embarrassed for him
for l thought he had forgotten
what he wanted to say. In a slow
hating way, he spoke again.
"Now," he said, "every time
see my son, it still does something
to me for he is a part of my
heart"
knew exactly what he wanted
to say and his words have stuck
with me up to the present time,
for it is known fact that most
dads are more than fond of their
sons, especially their first born.
Oftentimes that very fondness
will be the cause of the downfall
of the son as the father cannot
find it in his heart to correct his
son and that is pointed out time
and again by everyone as the rea-
son for delinquent youngsters, but
right there is where l differ a lit
tie.
No doubt that juvenile delin-
quency is encouraged when a par
ent never corrects a child, but
believe the biggest cause comes
from the parents themselves.
While living in the city, l knew
couple who gave their young
sters some money on Saturday
night and sent them off to the
movies or wherever they wanted
to go while they, the parents spent
the entire night playing poker.
The father just couldn't understand
why the Scoutmaster dropped his
oldest boy when all the boy did
was run away from a camp in the
middle of the night.
My little acquaintance with
young people has led me to be-
lieve that they are impressionable
and are more than willing to do
right if they are led in that di-
rection.

teaching him self-reliance, how

let-down. Junior will soon find
that he's still being treated like
a little boy and, just as important,
he'll find plenty within his own
emotions to convince him that
he is a little boy.
In an effort to insure good be-
havior, parents sometimes build
up teacher as an ogre who won't
stand for Wiggling, thumb-suck-
ing and other actions. If Junior
expects to be afraid Of her. he
probably will be.

12TH ANNUAL FAIR WILL BE FIRST ONE MISSED BY M. D. s.

M. D. Snodgrass is missing his first Matanuska Valley Fair this year.
 Running a record that would even out a round dozen of fairs without one black mark for absence nearly broke his heart. But for man who had brought cattle to the Territory in the early years of the cen tury and had herded another group from Kodiak a few years later, the lure of cattle buying trip to the States was even greater than that of the Twelfth Annual Matanuska Valley Fair. He left Sunday with Jack Cope, and the two men will travel back by boat with 48 cows for Valley dairy men.
 Back in 1941, Snodgrass all most missed his sixth Valley Fair. He had been in the hos pital for five months, but he was sprung" just in time to visit the 1941 Fair and keep his record unbesmirched.

MATANUSKA VALLEY FAIR HAS GROWN WITH ALASKA SINCE INCORPORATION IN 1886

tion's board of directors were John H. Reed, president; Parker Lester, vice-president; Jan Kos losky, secretary; Matt Perkins, treasurer; and Don Irwin, direc- tor. Four Pacific huts were added to the Fair buildings to provide more space for exhibits. Premium awards were upped to attract good exhibits. Special prizes, car raffle, and a queen contest, gate receipts showed, helped to revive interest in the Fair. 1947 was an outstanding year for the Fair. With a total gross of $11,465 and $7390 in expenses, a balance of S4465 was left for working capital to use in repairing buildings and improving the Grounds.
 With each succeeding year the Fair grew bigger gate receipts, more and better exhibits. The Eighth Fair, managed by Marshall Selover resulted in a gross of $15,154.22 and a cash net of $4,- SOP. Improvements of buildings and grounds, plus $779 in taxes and $6,306 in premiums and prizes helped to make up deficit of $400 in the Ninth Fair, managed by Charles Dillon, even though the total take did zoom to $16,335. By this time, however, assets were S8,987. The Fair was becoming Big Business. More improvements to buildings and grounds and con- tinuation of the policy of offering substantial inducements to exhib- itors held net profits to mini mum in 1850 in spite of the gross reaching $16,000 for a second time. A gala atmosphere was ad- ded to the Tenth Fair, managed by Bob Critics, with the innova- ton of carnival concessions fur nished by the B and B Alaska Shows. With the Eleventh Fair the carnival became permanent institution with the Fair In spite of cool and cloudy weather, gate attendance at the Eleventh Fair last year reached 5000. Although receipts were slightly under the prvious years record, Fair opera tions resulted in fairly substan- tial net profit. Parker Lester, Manager of the 1851 Fair is again Manager of the Twelfth annual Fair this year.
 Commenting on expectations for the 1852 Fair that opens Sat urday, August 30 for a three-day run, Fair Manager Parker Lester said, Weather permitting, the 1852 Fair should be the best ever put on by the Matanuska Valley Fair Association and should at tract the biggest turnout ex- perienced in it's history. Pro- gress on Fair organization IS well advanced in comparison with other years. The Mat anuska Valley Fair has al ways been the show window of agicultural Alaska, but this year the exhibits promise to be better in quantity and quality than any thing we have had in the past. A large program and more amuse- ments than ever before are being offered to this years Fair-goers." ."
