 Handicraft
 The handicraft division this year is expected to be one of the largest exhibits ever shown be- fore. Karla Duff is superintend- ent of the division with Vera Hay es, Nina Stock and Bess Johns assisting. Midge Hudgins is chairman of the dressmaking class and will be assisted by Grace Black. Mrs. Duff announced that all persons planning to exhibit that all needlework, handicraft, dressmaking and thrift exhibits will be shown, in Quonset No. TO-. The division was moved from their prior location in Quonset No. 2 in order to give the 4-H'ers more room to show all handicraft in the. same section. All entries should be taken to Quonset No. 10 on Friday, September from 200 to goo pm. or before 500 am. Saturady. Judging will be done Saturday morning and com pleted before the doors open at 200 pm. that day.

In speaking of the nation wide. emergency campaign, Dr. Land auer, revealed that the percent age of severely paralyzed pa tients have increased during the past few years, gave these two reasons for the rise 1. Many criti- cally paralyzed patients, who in former years would have died, now survive because of improved care and treatment. 2. Polio is attacking more adults and a high CT percentage of these patients suffer severe paralysis.
 While many of the new polio patients requiring iron lungs and other breathing aids this year will need them only for a few days or weeks, many will become long term prisoners of their iron lungs. They will join the almost 2,000 respirator patients from previous years whose horizons are still limited to their Six-by- three foot machines. These polio prisoners must not waste away their lives dependent on mechanical breath ing to keep them alive.
 Fortunately, improved techni- ques of treatment and rehabilita- ton have been developed-large- ly through March of Dimes. grants that now offer real hope of freeing the majority of such res pirator patients. But it is an ex- pensive process and more funds are urgently needed to do the job," Dr. Landauer emphasized.
 Soaring treatment costs for such long-term polio patients have done much to exhaust March of Dimes funds this year. This Is major reason why an Emergen- cy March of Dimes must be held August 16-31."

 The American Legion and Aux Hilary are planning an evening social tonight, with the proceeds slated to go into the emergency fund.
 Alpine I'm will plan a special night, date, place and event to be announced.
 No money will be spent on pub licity, Smith announced. All morey contributed will go direct ly into the fund. Half gallon jars have been placed in several public places around town and early this week the jar in the Frontier Bar was half full. Wrappers on the jars were donated for the campaign.
 Anyone or organization which has not been contacted who wishes to participate is asked to contact Smith or Richard Jones, in Palmer, Rivera Hiber at Eska; Jasper Skok at Jonesville Mines; Mrs. Jim Frye at the Butte or Louise Kellogg in the Farm Loop area.
 In Wasilla The Veterans of Foreign Wars are sponsoring the Emergency March of Dimes. Members of the Wasilla All Clover club, under the leader ship of Mrs. Laura Mommsen, raised money through bake sales to pay All camp fees so each member could attend All camp this summer. It was a great dis appointment to the members when camp was called-off, due to the outbreak of polio. But in true All spirit, this club has given the sum of money to the emergency polio drive. This club knows the true meaning of the H. for Heart and H-for Health for their club and their community

 men, who were awarded the din- ing room bid this year, are plan ring a varied menu for the three days. They also plan to have a menu available on Friday prior to the Fair and on Tuesday, after the fair. In years past workers have been unable to purchase food on the grounds on these two days. Additional food concessions will offer for sale all types of hot dogs, hamburgers, pop corn, and cotton candy.
 Construction Advancing
 Cement block work on the new building at the fairgrounds is pro- gressing rapidly, with workmen completing the two side walls this week. windows for the new struc- ture have arrived. It is expected that the building will be complet- ed in time for exhibitions and dis play concessions during the fair.
 The kitchen in the administra- tion building has been freshly painted and the benches in the dining room have been removed. The Sportsmen will use folding chairs to replace the benches, which in years past cost many a rylon. All exhibition buildings are being renovated and readied for the big three-day show.
 Poultry Exhibits
 All poultry men who are plann- ing to exhibit their stock were asked this week by Gene Kirsch fair manager, to begin selecting their prize stock and prepare them for showing. Louis John Me Donald is superintendent of the poultry and rabbit division this year. The American Standard of Perfection will be the guide for judges of the poultry classes, with the greatest emphasis being plac- ed on utility. There will be class es for leghorns, Rhode Island reds, plymouth rocks, New Hampshire reds, geese, ducks, turkeys, and rabbits. Because of lack of space, no exhibitor will be allowed more than one entry in any one class.

Association was unanimously turned down. It was a request to connect garden hose to fire hydrant for water supply at the fairgrounds. Council members de- nied the use at any time of a fire hydrant for this purpose in view of the fact that a service connection was put in at the fair grounds when the new water system was installed last fall, and that the association may hook onto the water system. Water and sewer lines to the new fire hall building are being installed and work is progressing rapidly, with four-inch cast iron pipe being used for the sewer line New water pipe will replace the old line running between Inde- pendence and Moose Creek road. This section of the old line has been leaky and is beyond repair. A discussion of fire hydrants in the city brought out that two hy- drants at the Palmer Depot have been dead for some time and should be removed. Any dead hy- drants count against the fire rat ing of a city, it was pointed out. A new hydrant will be installed near the Elks home where a new one was destroyed when hit by a car. ..4,.
 The purchase of ditto machine by the city was authorized by council members.
 Acting Mayor Mears announc- ed the temporary hiring of Le- nore Zimmerman and Marion An derson in the office of city clerk. Applications for the city clerk vacancy were read and discussed. No definite action was taken on the applications.
 
 Bills approved for payment were as folloWs: Weidner Block Co.,, $931 40; Alaska Communica- ton System, $32.64; Motor-In Service, S2O.O9; Ralph Moore, $18.20; Ray McKechnie, S1700; Art Erickson, S21.14; Jack Land, $71.25; Pacific Water Works, ST. 15; Pennsylvania Salt Mfg. Co.,, S33.85, and Matanuska Valley Health Center, $21.l8. Total, $1,-
