Directors of Alaska State Fair, Inc. will ask this session of the Legislature to designate this area as the site of the off cial Alaska State Fair. At the present time there is no desig- nate site for a state fair
 To this end. Representative Jalmar Kerttula will offer a Bill in the House during the session which opens in Jun eau next week.
 Members of the local fair board are urging complete area-wide support of the pro posal. One of the first organi- cations to back the move is the Kiwanis Club of Palmer which on Monday of this week, voted the sum of $50 toward fund being raised to send lobblest to Juneau when the Bill IS presented. The Board also hop es to initiate a letter campaign at the same time. Organizations and interested individuals will be asked to write the Legisla- tors, requesting their vote be favorable to this area.

UTILITIES ASK CONFERENCE WITH HEAD OF REA

Norman Clapp. REA admin istrator, has been requested to come to Alaska for a confer ence with electric utilities in- terested in interim power pro- grams. according to an announ- cement made this week.
 All utilities between Seward Homer and Fairbanks, with the exception of Chugach Electric Association. have agreed the area approach to the interim power question is highly desir- able. A joint committee for ac- ton. of which Phil O'Neill of the MEA board of directors was named chairman, has re- quested that Clapp come to Al aska as soon as possible after the submission of reports be- ing prepared and confer with all utilities involved.
 A feasibility study by the Parsons Company is now be- ing finalized. This study will tie the original Parsons report on generation and transmission operation into the REA capabil- ity to finance. CEA will have a separate report concerning the Anchorage Kenai area ready at about the same time, it was announced.
 The purpose of the meeting
 with the REA administrator
 would be to arrive at firm
 plan of action to implement the area approach, if REA consid- CTS it feasible, Mason LaZelle, MEA manager said. We as sume that 1t will be feasible, since it is in use in large sec tons of the South 48,' he said.

"MEA and the Matanuska
 Valley will find that these
 people remember those who
 have aided them and that
 there will be attentive ears
 in our Legislature to listen 10 our local problems.
 We will also find" LaZelle added, that their eyes will turn toward our area as a source of supply, if we can ec- onomically solve the transpor- tation problem. Our area deVel- opment planning will find sympathetic understanding in the future as we find ways to provide needed supplies to this area.
 'L st, but certainly not least" the MEA manager said, "as the living standards and earning powers of these people rises, partially with our help, our own tax burden becomes a little easier to bear"
 The Unalakleet operation will provide a trial run for projected service 10 remote parts of MEAS own service area. LaZelle pointed out. This must be done. within limits of REA feasibility. if we are going 10 obtain de- velopment in our local area. he said.

The Matanuska Electric AS sociation has nearly completed, in the three weeks since Christ mas, the installation of a dis tribution and generation sys- tenn at Unalakleet, it was an- nounced this week by Mason LaZelle, MEA manager.
 Unalakleet is fourth largest of the main centers of popula- ton which have developed along the Western and North ern rim of Alaska. It's popula- ton of 600 is exceeded by Nome, Barrow and Kotzebue. 1t is slightly over one half the size of Homer or Cordova.
 Power for the town was orig inally furnished by the North ern Commercial Company, then leased to a private opera tor. On October Is of last year the private operator was closed down. In 1858 and again in 1861, the Rural Electric Ad- ministration had investigated the potential, and found Un- alaklet a feasible location for cooperative. Subsequent to the cessation of the private op- eration, an election was held and the voters decided to incor- porate as an REA cooperative.
 John Shaw, MEA attorney provided legal counsel and gui- ded the Unalakleet Valley Elec- trio Cooperative into being as 3 corporate entity, LaZelle said The firm of DeWild. Grant !

 Snider told Chamber mem bers that he had applied for a position through Governor Will liam Egan.

He has travelled all over Alaska as a prospector, was one of the first to try farming; has visit ed Mckinley Park, many other areas of Alaska and is verSed on subjects that will be of in terest to persons attending the exposition.
 Attorney John Shaw stated that until recently the local role in the exposition had not entered his mind, but that he feels the Matanuska Valley, with it's related industries, should be represented in Seat tie. "I'm sure we all agree there is no one better prepared to speak out in favor of Alaska and the valley than Heinie," he
