A concrete block permanent building, 52-by 120-feet, is plan ed for construction this year, Valley Fair Association announc- ed following their May 25 meet ing. The structure would have 10-foot ceilings with a 16-foot center aisles.
 Each side would be divided into exhibit booth space, with front footage at a minimum of 10 feet. For this year the build ing would be used to house ex hibits of the commercial and in- ustrial type, and board members stated the building can be finan- ced over period of three years out of the sale of front-foot ex- hibit space to consistent exhibit ors. Overall program plans are being formulated, they said, to include another permanent type building to be available next year for club-type exhibits.
 Each booth will be of Effect depth, with front space running from 10 feet up. Permanent space will be sold at $20 per front foot. The building will probably be located in the north east corner of the fairgrounds, according to announcement, and will be so constructed as to afford easy ac- cess to exhibitors and fairgoers.

City May Annex New High School Area

The problem of getting water to the new Palmer High School, now under construction just out side city limits was discussed at the May IS and 25 meeting of the City Council. With construction well under way it was pointed out that the water will be need ed very soon. At the present time water users in that area are getting water off the Coop line, however there are no lines going into the school building and the Coop has indicated they do not have adequate water supply to furnish another large user.
 An offer will be made to the Palmer School District whereby the School District would con- Struct the water line to the new high school, paying for it and then transferring title to the city immediately on it's completion. The City of Palmer will assume responsibility for maintenance and will reimburse the School District for full cost of the line by means of water furnished to the school at the regular metered rates until such time as the wat CT line is paid for in full and in terest on investment as a yet-to- be-established rate per annunI. The. City of Palmer would ac- quire any easements necessary and get approval for the new line from the Department of Health. Plans for the water line would have to have Council approval before constructed.
 Propose Annexation
 Following the decision, council members pointed out the advan- tage to residents of the anneXa- tion of that section of the Valley north to the city limits at some future time. With the present city limits going only just be- yond the Fairgrounds, municipal departments can not operate in the new high school district. It means that there will be no po- lice protection, other than Terri torial Police or from the U. s. Marshaps office in Anchorage. There will be no zoning control. The annexation discussion also pointed out that water users in the area would be able to hook onto the city system.

Chamber Asks City Take Over Airport

The airport committee of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce recently offered a suggested program in regard to the local airport situation to the City of Palmer for consideration.
 The recommendation included the City acceptance of title to the airport property from the Terri tory of Alaska. That the airplane parking area be cleared and tie down cable be installed, with in dividual parking spaces to be rented out at a rate of $500 per month.
 Included in the suggested pro- gram was leasing of present farmable land approximately five acres, at $10 per acre per year, and the clearing of other fa2mable land to lease out, or enter into lease with the con- siGeration being further clearing. Another proposal would be plac- ing a tax of two cents per gall Ion on all aviation gasoline sold within the city, the receipts from which would be used for airport improvements and maintenance.
 According to their findings, necessary maintenance of the present outlay would entail an annual expenditure of approxi naately $700. The suggested pro- gram, they felt, would bring an nual receipts as fsnows:1 Rental of parking areas, $500; lease of five acres, $50, and gasoline tax, $200, for a total of $850. Other revenues could be expected as the other acreage of farmable lard is cleared, they stated.
 The consideration of this or some other workable program to aid the development of our pres .en- aviation industry was ear nestly solicited by the committee. The program is being studied by members of the City Council.

Guards Picket Prison,
But Indiana Officials
Call Strike a Flop
BY The Associated Press

MICHIGAN CITY. Ind, Oct.
IA walkout Of guards at the
Indiana State Prison failed to
affect the operation Of the big
penitentiary today. and a State
official said "the whole strike is
a flop"
The opinion came from Hugh
P. OBrien, chairman Of the
State Correction Department,
who added that the walkout
had fizzled out"
However. pickets paraded for
the second day at the prisons
two main gates. and Merlin Grif-
fifth. vice president of the In
ternational Guards Union, said,
well whip O'Brien one way or
another"
Mr.. Griffith said he was salts
fled with the way things were
going and added, "If picket lines
stay in operation as they have
been weIl gain five men a day."
Guards Dodge Pickets.
An undisclosed number Of
guards assigned to the mid
night to 8 am. shift entered the
prison on schedule last night by
some entrance other than the
picketed gates. They could be
seen from the gates as they
entered the administration
building inside the wall, but
they had not passed the pickets.
Prison officials had said a full
shift went on duty on schedule
at 4 pm. yesterday.
The guards at the big prison,
which houses 2,274 inmates, are
seeking a 40-hour work week, i'm
proved working conditions, and
reinstatement Of four guards
fired last week. State officials,
however, have refused to meet
with the union, citing a State
policy against official recogni-
ton Of a union at a State institu-
ton.
46 Fail to Report.
Forty-six guards who refused
to sign pledges of loyalty to the
State or failed to show up for
work on the day shift yesterday
were suspended or fired. How
ever, Mr.. O'Brien said five were
reinstated after they telephoned
to say they were absent because
they were afraid to cross the
picket lines.
The suspensions, given guards

ployment, become dismissals in

White City Stadium.
Red-haired Chris turned In
one of track and fields most
masterful performances in the
5000 meters with an almost
unbelievable world record Of 13
minutes SIG seconds.
Chris the brewer edged out
world record holder Kuc by a
yard in a race that will take
its place among the very great
est in track history.
Until last night, it seemed the
25-year-old Chataway was des-
tined to run second in all the
world record races of 1854.
He was second to DIR. Roger
Bannister when Roger first
broke through the 4-minute bar
rier for the mile.
He was second to John Landy's
present world mile mark of 3.58.
He was second when Freddie
Green of England set the three
mile mark.
And he was second when Kuc.
a Leningrad sailor, won the
European 5,000-meter champion
ship at Bern in August in the
then world record time of
1866.
But not last night.
This 5000 meters was Chata-
ways revenge.
Kuc Never Got Away.
He had made the mistake of
trailing Emil Zatopek Of Czecho-
slovakia at Bern while Kuc
moved far in the van where he
never could be headed.
Kuc started out last night
with Chataway on his heels.
They passed the mile in the very
fast time of 4:24.4.
Then came one of those mo-
ments in track history.
On the sixth lap Kuc poured
it on, and virtually sprinted a
quarter mile in 62.5 seconds.
But he never got away from
Chataway.
They settled down to pass the
2 miles in 8::54.6. The other
runners in the race Jagged far
behind.

With reserve born of despera.

home first.
The final quarter was run in
an unofficial 60.4 seconds. Kuc's
time of 1858 also was well be-
low the world mark. m
On the way Kuc broke his
own 3-mlle record by 0.S second
with q 1927 effort.
After the race, Chris said
those last few yards were 'ab-
solute agony" y
He said he found the sixth
lap when Kuc burst forward "the
hardest of the whole race"
+ Kuc's Greatest Race.
He also remarked he had no
intention Of letting Kuc get away
from him this time.
Kuc said simply 1t Was the
greatest race he had ever been
in, adding that he would try to
improve on Chataway's mark
when he races Zatopek In Prague
next week.
But first the Russians run in
Manchester Saturday against a
