FAIR TO HAVE
 MERRY-GO-ROUND AND LOOP.O-PLAME

Fun for young and old was as sured this week when members of the fair board received word that a merry-go-round and loop o-plane will be available for fair goers pleasure during the 18th annual fair.
 Since word was received early this year that the B & B Shows had been sold and that the carni- val rides would not be available for this years fair, board mem bers have been trying to locate equipment and concessions that would take it's place.
 Members of the Anchorage Shrine lodge will bring the equip ment to the fair and be in charge of operations. In addition, Gene Kirsh said this week that enter tainment concessions have been arranged for the fair, such as the rat race - canary and gold fish booth - milk bottles - Pen nv pitch and Alaska's favorite game, the latter to be sponsored by the Palmer Moose lodge. Horse races each day, baseball games and the ever-popular hot dog stands will all add up to lots of entertainment for 1853 fair goers.
 Some of the largest exhibits ever shown at a valley fair will be open for the public inspection and approval. Members of the U. S. Army this week started moving display material into Palmer. Two truck load of plat forms have arrived and will be used for what will be the larg- est and most complete Army dis play ever offered at territorial fair.
 Commercial groups will have displays of their products and several organizations plan edu- cational type displays, including the popular Division of Forestry booth.
 Gate Passes
 Alba Brooks, fair board presi- dent, announced this week that gate passes will be given to eli gible persons but that they will not be transferable. Judges, sup erintendents, board members, maintenance crews, entertainers, police, press and concession op- orators are among those eligible. However, he added, concessions will be allowed only two passes, others working in the booths will be expected to purchase admis- sion tickets.

Flower Show
 To Be Feature Al Valley Fair

Many of AlaSka'S most beau- tiful flowers and outstanding plants will be exhibited at the 18th annual Matanuska Valley fair, according to Maud Hosler, superintendent of the flower di- vision. In addition to Valley en- tries, many exhibits are expected from the Anchorage area.
 Mrs. M. D. Snodgrass will be hostess at the flower show and a guest book will be provided for registering those who attend the exhibit.
 Mrs. Hosler this week offered suggestions to those planning to exhibit in this division. First of all, she said, please read your fair book for flower show rules which appear on page 56. Be sure you follow them carefully, she cautioned. If for instance you are exhibiting African daisy-the book says three sprays"-so three sprays it must be even though you many have another perfect one.
 The Handbook of Flower Show Definitions will be used for judg- ing by members of the Anchorage Garden club, who have recently completed very successful flow CT show of their own.
 Definitions in the handbook identify Spray as portions of plants with number of flowers on one stem. Cluster blossoms growing close together on the same stem. Bloom--indi- vidual flower. One blossom on a stock. Spike-a flower structure with flowers stemless on com mon heightened stalk.
 Exhibitors have been grooming their plans for the fair, Mrs. Hos Ter said and reminded individuals that the foliage should be clean, ---;+h no dead leaves. Blossoms also should be clean, and no dead flowers.
 Cut flowers should be hard ened. To do this, the chosen flow CTS should be cut the day before, placed in cold water and stored in a cool place over night.
 All exhibits may be taken to the flower division building at the fair grounds anytime from Friday noon until Saturday nor ming at goo am. Any entries received after that time will be marked Mot in competition"
 New exhibit tables will be com pleted before fair time and all flower growers are urged to make entries at the fair. There are cash prizes for a very large number of flowers and plants in five classified groups.
 Watch for frost" Mrs Hosler warned exhibitors. If it appears that there may be a frost, cover your plants and blooms and save them for the fair"

CITY SOON TO BE ONLY WATER SUPPLIER

City water users this week were urged to prepare their service lines, prepatory to hook-up on the city system when completed. Because of the acute water shortage in the present Coop system, no water will be furnished by the Coop to city users when the new city system is completed and put in operation. The only exception to this will be in re- mote or isolated cases where the city is not or can not offer service to the user.

How Mean Can A
Gang Of Boys Get

How mean can a gang of boys
get? This question is difficult to
answer since a recent performance
which was staged at the Union
County Fair Saturday night has
been recorded.
When the Cardinal Girl Scouts
of Unionville Center returned to
the Fairgrounds at Marysville
Sunday morning to take down
their nice display they received
the shock of their lives There was
nothing left for them to take down
or to take home. The place looked
like a cyclone had hit it. Two
large dolls, scout costumes, hand
moulded plaques, lights and wir-
ing, hand paintings and decora-
tions had all been torn to bits and
destroyed completely. A number
of the articles were priced highly
by the girls, It was reported to
authorities but little or nothing
can likely be done about it.

Furniture Drawers
Are Quality Guides

Construction of furniture draw
ers can give a good indication of
the quality of the whole piece of
furniture.
Jane Schoppe, extension home
furnishings specialist at Ohio
State University, says dove-tailed
construction, for example, is one
of the best ways to join the four
sides of drawer. Mailing, how
ever, is not satisfactory for long
time service and is found only on
low-grade furniture.
Drawers on better furniture
will be well sanded and smooth
on the inside. All joints in draw
ers, as well as side panels, top
and frame, should be closely made
and well fitted, the specialist says.
Although guides or runners in
the center of drawers add to the
cost of production, they also add
to the convenience of opening or
closing smoothly.
Drawer pulls should be well at
tached and dust-proof shelf be-
tween drawers is desirable.

Pictured here is Cpl. Ernie
Crum who recently returned to
his home near here after being
held prisoner behind the Iron
curtain" for 80 months.
This photo was taken within
short while after the young man
arrived at his home here and
during time when his friends
and relatives were gathering at
the residence to celebrate his re-
turn. The smile on his face de-
notes clearly that he was one of
the happiest men on earth and he
was oVer-joyed at the sight Of his
little brothers and sisters who he
said had grown to be so much
bigger than he had expected they
would be.
Cpl. Crum was a bit reluctant
to talk about the physical treat
ment which the PoW's received
in the camp, but talked freely
concerning the food which they
were forced to eat. During the
time he was held prisoner he
said their main dish was cracked
corn which they could prepare
any way they liked. other foods
were flour, rice, miIIet and a
small amount of pork which was
given them during the last six
months in camp.
Cpl. crum is home on 80
day leave before reporting for
his final physical prior to being
released from the Armed Forces.
He said that he believed he would
re-enIist when that time came.

SPORTS

First landmarks to greet incom-
ing freshmen eyes are physical
ones-North and South Hall dor
mitories and Antioch Hall, all dat
ing back to that first year when
hogs competed with students and
f aculty for the right-of-way
around campus; when a dormitory
built for 400 students was equip
ped with a 10-foot water tank;
when the steeples of the main
building were the tallest- edifice
west of the Allegheny fountains.
The College was founded by the
Christian Church denomination
and named after the city in Asia
Minor, Antioch, where followers
of Christ were first called Chris
tianS.
Nevertheless, the school was to
be non-sectarian and open to both
men and women of all races, prin-
cipleS close to Mann'S heart. At
that time, most colleges founded
with church help were actually
theological seminaries. And, while
Oberlin was coeducational, most
women students received ladies
certificates, while those few who
were awarded degrees were not
permitted to read their essays
from the commencement platform.
Mann also dedicated Antioch at
the Inaugural to education of the
whole man" - mind, body and

Outlines Weed
Control In heat

Most of the troublesome weeds
in Ohio wheat fields are removed
by the tanning mill says E. P.
Reed, extension agronomist at
Ohio State University.
Reed says wild garlic ana cockel
are exceptions. "If seed wheat
contains weed seed that is diff
ficult to remove" he warns,
farmers would be better off to
purchase certified seed of known
origin.
"Of course" he adds, 'The best
way to control weeds is to grow
a vigorous stand of wheat" High
yielding wheat fields seldom have
many weeds in them.
Clean seed beds are another
method of weed control. Land that
was plowed or disked thoroughly
after sod crops and silage corn
- so all weed seedlings are dead
at seeding time - will have fewer
weeds.
Reed says 2,4-D spraying can
control a limited number of
weeds. Spraying in late March in
southern Ohio and in early April
in the north will destroy winter
cress. Farmers who plan meadow
seedlings, however, can not use
this method.
Spring growth of Canada thris-
tie, white top, and bind weed may
be sprayed just before the first
wheat joints develop. Reed says
such treatment probably will not
damage clover seriously. The can
opy of wheat prevents most of the
spray from reaching the, clover
seedlings.
Hand spraying will control
Canada thistle and bind. weed in
small patches. Time to do this is
when wheat grain is in the milk
stage. ~.
Reed concludes, "The practical
way of controlling weeds on most
farms is by good crop and soil
management through rotations
that include good stands of mead
ow crops 2 years or more and that
are fertilized and cut for hay two
to three times each year." ~

The visitor drives state

can work for the tax payers
and find time to fish several
