FINANCE FAIRS
IS NOW PLANNED
Special Committee Working
Out Plan to Hold Future j
Country Fairs.
That plans for organization of a
permanent Country Fair Association
are being considered and that such
an organization will be formed with
in the near future with adequate cap
ital to handle annual fairs here was
indicated today by members of the
special committee which had charge
of the Southeastern Alaska Country \
Fair held here last September. That !
committee was continued after the
first fair closed for the purpose, of
establishing a permanent association.!
Members of the committee ar : R

eon, George R. Marshall, Gunn ar
Bloingren and Ed M Kane, who tid
ed as fair manager. This commit
tee met Monday evening in the of
fleet) of R. E. Robertson and outlined
a plan of action to be pursued in the j
creation of a permanent association.'
As soon as this is fully developed
It will be made public. It entails ia
corporation for a specific amount, to
be later determined, and for the sale!
of enough shares to finance future!
fairs.
“It 1s apparently the overwhelming!
opinion of local business men and
the majority of local residents tbit!
the first fair was worthwhile and its •
success was sufficiently encouraging'
to justify an effort to repeat it i
nually," said Mr. Kane The Idea |
also has the approval and support of
ranchers In the outlying districts j
who are expected to cooperate even j
more heartily this year than last
The plan now being considered will |
be presented fully to local business]
men and submitted to the ranchers,.
It was stated It involves a i
minimum of expenditures and tit the
same time it Is believed will Insure
adequate finances to cover the costs
of preparation and, of holding a gen
eral exposition of Southeastern Al
aska products every year.
