Citizens See Home Rule
As Answer 10 SIums

Home rule is the answer to
the Districts slum clearance
problem, the North Capitol Citi-
zens' Association was told last
night.
Because of insufficient funds,
the removal Of alley dwellings in
the District would only plant
seeds for new slums of other
types. said John F. Hardie, as
Sociation president. The only
way to obtain funds, Mr.. Hardie
said, would be through home
rule. He suggested a system of
four commissioners representing
the four sections of the District,
and a fifth appointed by the
President.
The association also opposed
running Route 240 into Rock
Greek Park.
The meeting was held in the
Lutheran Church House, IA

NEW GRANDSTAND READY FOR FAIR

Fair-goers this year will be able to view the horse races, fireworks and many other ring events in comfort. Construction of a new grandstand at the fair grounds was completed this week.
 Approximately $4,000 was ear marked for the new structure which is 36 feet in depth by AS feet in heighth, with seating capacity of 400. Board members announced this new structure is only one half as large as intended and next year they hope to add a similar section, doubling the capacity. At that time it is hoped there will be enough funds to roof-over the entire structure and construct concession booths at the rear of the grandstand, facing the midway. These booths will be ten feet wide and as high as clearance will permit. Space will

Matanuska Valley Fair Founded in 1936

The Matanuska Valley Fair was founded in Palmer in the Fall of 1886 with donations and sale of voting stock in the organ ization starting the fair on the road to it's present status.
 M. D. Snodgrass, who was this year voted unanimously "honor- ary board member" was the as Sociation's first president. Other offices that first year were fill ed by Joe T. Flakne, vice-presi- dent; Ruth D'Armond now Mrs. Howard Estelle), secretary; Luth- CT Weeda, treasurer and Ross Sheely, board member.
 Donations and the sale of vot- ing stock in the organization started the first Valley Fair on the road. Land was purchased at reduced rate from the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Cooperation, who also gave two buildings to the fair association for it's use.
 Created primarily to actively assist agriculture and industry, fair officials are, even today during it's 18th annual fair-guid- ed by this original interest. The fair has been classified as the show window" of agricultural progress in Alaska.
 Officers and directors of the association receive no pay. Dur ing fair-season, manager is hir- ed by board members and paid for his services for a period of two to three months.
 No dividends are declared. The associations bylaws (referring to 1851 changes) provide that all proceeds each year be turned back into improvements of the fair. For the 1853 Matanuska Val ley Fair, matching funds, amount ing to $2,145.00 were obtained from the territory as the result of legislature passed this year pro- viding these funds for Territor- ial fairs.
 Much of this money received this year has gone into ground and building Improvements, in- cluding the construction of a grand stand, enlargement of the

Tailored Effect Obtained by New DESIGNS

the design should be considered
as the repetition of motif be-
comes obvious and must be dram
atized so that it will not become
monotonous.
A design of this type is an ex-
cellent choice in a new home
where the owners want to fur
nish gradually and carefully.
They have few possessions. They
want their rooms to appear at
tractive and comfortable while
they are partially finished.
Recently, one decorator used
printed chintz to create a dra-
matte effect in a traditional liv-
ing room. He wanted something
suitable as a background for ex-
quisite American antiques.
The motif in the fabric design
was taken from one of Audubon s
bird prints. The decorator chose
a brown -and-green combination
on a white ground as draw drap-
cries for two large view VIM
dows placed in the center of two
walls.
He repeated the design for the
cover selected for a small foot
stool to give it Importance. The
walls were painted the white of
the chintz background. Shades
of brown found in the plumage
