$4,000 Is Annual Limit
The law allows the services to

Sible way Of telling how many
will volunteer each year and,
for this reason, the Army sought
unsuccessfully on Capitol Hill to
make 1t as compulsory as the
draft.
With the present Selective
Service quota of only 1900 a

only 6 per cent of all high school
juniors and seniors want to full
fill their military obligations by

M. D. Snodgrass Praises '56 Fair

Opening day of the 1856 Mat anuska Valley Fair was designat- ed as M D. Snodgrass Day and shortly after the official opening exercises the M. D. SNODGRASS BUILDING was dedicated in his honor.
 M. D. Snodgrass. one Of the best=knoWn promoters of not only the Matanuska Valley, but all Alaska, has long been a strong supporter Of agricultural and industrial fairs, having been instrumental in starting the first Alaska fair in Fairbanks many years ago and having worked hard and diligently the past 20 years in promoting the famous Matanuska Valley Fairs.
 This week, after all the ex- citement of what has been term ed the most successful Valley Fair on record has quieted down. NJ B. Snodgrass had the follow ing to say about the 1856 Fair:
 The 18th annual Matanuska Valley Fair has passed into his tory with a weather record of three fair-Weather days and an attendance of new high for each ! day exhibits in all departments were of high quality. The Fair management is to be congratu lated for their untiring efforts in putting on a good show. The exhibitors won high praise for the quality of their exhibits. The All group showed great progress, and their future looks bright. We must build to meet their needs.
 Every boy and girl in the Matanuska Valley has a chance to show what they individually can do to make the Fair sue cess. Their training in school work can be reflected by their exhibits in the All departments,
 Future Fair successes or fail ures are in your hands. Increas- ed space will be given every de partment from year to year. A flower or garden, poultry, or rabbit, calf or pig, sheep or goat, or a riding pony, will help the Fair management build and fill the space to the high school and make our fair the ALL STATE FAIR. We should have a dozen new community fairs in Alaska.
 It takes people. time and la bor to build a Fair.

Old Paper DiscIoses Origin of School Papers Name

Did you ever wonder where the Palmer High School paper got it's name, Banana Belt Breezes?"
 When the paper first came out, back in 1886, a contest was he'd and a prize offered for the best name for the paper.
 Al Gregerson, then janitor at the school, suggested Banana Belt Beezes" and won. He got his idea for the papers name because the valley was referred to as the Banana Belt since 1913 when there was no freeZe-up. This little news item was recent ly found in a newspaper printed in 1888. Ray DePriest has the paper.
 Mir. Gregerson, nearly 30 years old, is leaving Palmer this Sun day enrouts to Sitka where he will spend his second winter at the Alaska Pioneers Home. The longtime Alaskan resident first came to the territory in 1905, iiv- ing at Nome until the following year when he went into British Columbia and Washington to work in lumber mills. In 1908 he returned to Alaska, living at Sun rise and in Anchorage. He work ed for the Alaska Railroad for a number of years and in 1885 moved to the Valley. He has been very active in St. Johns Luth- eran Church in Palmer, Of which he is member.
