BALL of Chelan County Spokane Man Is New State Fairs Commissioner building, seals not - charge for their ” tendance. Now They Tftessacje Since this issue is arranged to present our three area meetings, all held in March this year, the urge to editorialize about them is quite strong I’m sure attendance was down somewhat this year in each of the meetings. There could of course be many reasons, but I feel sure that our decision to hold them about a month later this year had to have much to do with this. Our idea was to allow for a little spring weather and sunshine so that traveling conditions would be better: instead I think the sudden change from winter to spring took many of our people out of meetings and back to the good earth sooner than we expeetd. One thing is for certain, the friendliness and willingness to share is remarkably prevalent among Fair people. In my years of area meet ings I have yet to leave one without some idea that I could use in my own Fair. Sometimes it may come over a cup of coffee after dinner, or in an exchange of ideas with a Committee Chairman from another Fair, but it’s always there. The warmth and welcome I was person ally given at the West Side meetings will be remembered all of my life. Your comments and suggestions will be the number one topic of our next Board meeting. Myself, and many of you, I have found, arc possessed with the necessity of promoting Fairs in the State of Washington collectively. Al though all of our Fairs arc independent in na ture, there is much that each of us do that bene fits greatly our neighbors. It is my sincere hope that at least a pilot program can be started this year. I would like you each to read carefully the comments and suggestions of Andrew Clem ent from Pacific Communications Co in this issue. I hope to have a price tag on this pro posal very shortly. If you have comments or suggestions, please make an effort to contact your area Director before May 1. Sr■ FAIRS - - East Side Area Meeting Is First in Series The Red Lion in Pasco was the location for the meeting of the East Side fair people on March 7. Benton-Franklin County was the host and had coffee and rolls ready for early arrivals. President Keith Marney opened the meeting by speaking on “Association Goals. He re viewed the accomplishments of the Association during the past year and urged anyone having questions to ask or suggestions to make to the Board of Directors, to feel free to do so at any time. Senator Damon Canfield, director, was pres ent and participated in the program. Slate Fairs Commissioner Robert Loney also attended. During the free discussion period following the formal program, Mr. Marney asked for suggestions for the 1970 Convention program. Most favored having the slide program again, and panel discussions were requested with the group equally divided in their preference for small group discussions and remaining in one large group. They were definite in their feel ing that panels should not be divided into groups according to the size of the fair. They felt that much can be gained by both large and small fairs from hearing the other’s experiences and problems. Dividing groups according to topic was preferred. One suggestion was to have an experienced person talk on insurance for fairs. “Where Fairs Are Headed” was the topic suggested for a panel to discuss the problem of providing something different in entertainment and exhibits to attract the public. It was rec ommended that there be panelists representing both sides of the question—whether to keep fairs agricultural or make modern changes. Ed MacMurdo, manager of Southeast Wash ington Fair, was the moderator of a panel on “Is Your Fair Income Fair?” Others on the panel were James Hanger of Columbia County Kur and George Wilkens of Chelan County Fair. Mr. MacMurdo began the discussion by pre senting a complete report on the income of the fair at Walla Walla from commercial ex it it space, rental of grounds, horse racing, con- rSn!a,s’ galc receipts, grandstand and ■ kachcr tickets, youth dances, the carnival, pro gram sales and souvenir program advertising Much of the information exchanged by this panel centered around the policy of giving passes or maintaining an all-paid gate.

Mr. Ball is the founder of Ball and Dodd Funeral Homes and has been president for 30 years. He has served for 24 years as an elected official of the stale, city and county. He is presently serving as a County Commissioner of Spokane among an impressive list of other public offices. His previous service includes seven sessions of the Washington State Legislature, Spokane City Council and Mayor ProTcm, and president of the Spokane Planning Commission. Mr. Ball has shown great interest in the progress of his local fair, Spokane Interstate, as well as others in surrounding communities, and has assisted in any way he could to the advancement of their success and growth. charge for the grandstand since they have the 25-cent gate and the seats arc full. The only exception to an all-paid gate is a pass given to outside judging teams if thcir leader is with them. Mr. Hanger said that there was consid erable opposition, at first, to the admission charge but now the people accept it, and the fair is thinking of raising thcir small fee. Bob Loney commented that fairs which do not charge at the gate will have to begin in the near future, as parimutuel allocations are going to be based on actual paid attendance. Mr. Marney stated that North Central Wash ington Fair had an all-paid gate for three years but finally had to change their policy. They now send passes to division chairmen and thcir assistant chairmen before the fair. Passes arc also sent to FFA and 4-H judging teams before the fair.

They also give passes to depart ment supervisors for grandstand seats and gate admissions. Varying charges for admission and shows were mentioned. Grant County likes an ad vanced ticket sale. Walter Click, Grant County manager, said they have good luck because those who buy their tickets _ time enjoy the feeling of not having to pay when they go to the fair. The advance tickets are sold by garden clubs in Moses Lake and 4-H clubs throughout the county. George Wilkens said that Chelan County Fair was admitting their exhibitors at no charge, which added up to a lot of “free’’ people. Now they charge them and have increased their gate receipts practically one thousand dollars. They do not charge their youth exhibitors but give them a pass which is stamped every day, so it cannot be passed around. They haven't been successful in making their grandstand shows pay but feel that some type of entertainment is essential to attract people to the fair. It was the concensus of opinion that while fairs should have a “tight gate,” there arc some passes which must be given in the interest of good public relations. Mr. MacMurdo Su~~; ized the discussion by saying that it is up each fair to see that their income stays fair.

The management agreed to set aside a sec tion of rooms for the Association, with sitting rooms on each level which can be used for re laxing and informal conversations among mem bers attending. Having the section set aside for our exclusive use will tend to keep everyone together and make us feel more of a unit.

House Bill 50 would Southwest Area Meeting Held at Panorama City n March 14 for the southern The meeting on Marc Fanoraina C.ity, area °f thc T‘f"' Thurston County Fair was will be missed by thc many who ha\c knowi and worked with him. Condolences were ex tended to Mr. Mayer’s family. Present at the meeting besides the three south west directors and President Marney was Ar noid James of the State Fairs Commission. Wendell Prater of Kittitas County l air Ellensburg was introduced as a n^v.d,rc^orF ihe International Association of Fairs and Lx positions. First on thc agenda was a discussion on “Uniformity in Ticket Pricing,” led by Arlene McNutt, manager of the Grays Harbor Pair, and Tony Wildhabcr, manager of the Southwest Washington Fair. The principal reason for la- concessionaires and exhibitors is establishing and maintaining good public relations. Especial ly in the case of concessionaires and commercial exhibitors, one fair is played against another when they arc located in the same general area. Mr. Wildhabcr pointed out that charging ad- i to concessionaires and exhibitors is usually not done because thc fail wants thc revenue—it is a matter of keeping the fair’s health good. He showed a ticket used by Southwest Wash ington Fair which is in six parts and must be purchased in advance at a cost of $3.00. Each portion of thc ticket is numbered and has a letter of the alphabet on the back for auditing and research purposes. Thc ticket can be used at the front gate and the grandstand. With this method, the fair can tell which day’s activities sells the most tickets and what feature is mak ing them thc most money. They have the an swers at their fingertips on which ones to re tain for next year. Mrs. McNutt conducted a question and an swer period during which many different charges were mentioned for gate admissions and exhibitors. All who have increased their prices have found that it does not prevent people from coming to the fair. “PREMIUM LISTS —NEWSPAPER TAB LOID VS. BOOK FORM,” was the subject discussed by Fred Young, manager of Cowlitz County Fair, and William Walck, association director. Mr. Young talked in favor of the bound book which the Cowlitz County Fair uses for their premium list. Other than convenience and ease in handling, he could think of no particular advantage of the bound book over the news paper version. The advertising sold for the book is considered more of a donation from thc local business firms than a good method of advertis ing their product, since the coverage of the premium book is relatively small and those who look at the premium book probably do not pay- much attention to the advertising. However, the contacts a fair manager makes while selling every carnival in thc state out of business and every fair that has a carnival. The Attorney General has said, “Let’s either obey thc law, or let’s change the law.” We shouldn’t “wink” at the law. In an effort to make it possible for fairs to have their carnival games and stay within the law, the Legislative Committee proposed changes in House Bill 50 and their suggestions were accepted by thc At torney General and incorporated in the Bill. The Bill, with changes favorable to fairs, was passed by the House but died in the Senate. Things are now status quo. This means that fairs must go along with things thc way they have been, and thc laws as they arc being en forced. If you arc operating an illegal game and a citizen complains, he is supposed to go to the City Attorney or the County Prosecuting Attorney and make a formal complaint. Then the official is supposed to honor his oath of office and take the necessary remedial action. “ Canfield advised, “Let your con- your guide—and talk to your Prosecuting Attorney” the advertising arc considered very worthwhil > by Mr. Young, although there is a question in his mind as to whether it is worth all the tin it takes for thc manager to do this. He stated that he has thought of a book with pull-outs for thc individual departments, as he has found that a person involved in one de partment’s activities has little or no interest in what is going on in the other departments. This would be quite expensive and will probably not be done by Cowlitz County. As a matter of interest, Mr. Young told of thc trip he and Mrs. Young took to Switzer land last summer While there, they visited thc Swiss National Fair and picked up a premium book which he showed to the audience. The book has a hard cover and is very thick. The most interesting thing about the book is that it is printed in four languages—English, French German and Italian. Bill Walck, who in addition to being a State Director and a director of the Clark County Fair, is also a newspaperman, spoke for the newspaper tabloid premium list. He agreed that personal contacts with people in thc community are very worthwhile but stated that when a fair gets so big, it isn’t possible to do this. Clark County was putting out a bound book but found that every year thc advertising was becoming harder to sell. Thc manager was working on this about three months out of thc year. So on their 100th anniversary they changed to thc tabloid version. The tabloid is very effective advertising for your fair, as it is delivered to everyone in thc area who subscribes to thc local newspaper. When you pick up your paper, the tabloid falls out and you naturally pick it up and look at it, whether you are especially interested in fairs or not. Thc tabloid costs thc fair nothing, except for thc $400 full page ad they pay for, and it reaches over 33,000 families. The paper that prints it makes money and they are anxious to do this—any newspaper would be glad to work out details with your fair. Thc premium list is included in the tabloid, along with many ads of the local merchants. They also have a special premium list section printed, with no advertising, for use of thc exhibitors—at a cost of $900. This is a bound book and is done by Clark County at the special request of thc premium exhibitors. It is possible to have a certain number of tabloids printed and mailed out several months before the fair, including only thc premium list, so exhibitors will have this information early. Mr. Walck concluded by saying that when it comes to promoting a fair, the tabloid is the cheapest advertising you can buy. “KEEPING LAW AND ORDER” was the subject discussed by Ray Kingston, manager of Western Washington Fair; James Land, Chief of thc Lacey Police Department; and Art Dcck- ert of Clark County Fair. Mr. Kingston said there is one problem com mon to all fairs today—that is the level of socia discord and unrest that is prevalent throughou_ cur country which could affect us on grounds. He approached thc problem agement and how to keep the peace fair by outlining the methods used at t. ern Washington Fair. This fair hires a staff of law enforcement people who arc oughly briefed on what to expect during fair. Last year before thc fair, Mr. King called a meeting with representatives o police department, the fire departments o allup and Sumner, the Sheriff's office, t11 ‘ Patrol and Captain Marshal, who is m • • of law enforcement on thc fairgroun s. • . meeting, organization and lines o au . were set up so there could be efficien P tion during the fair. (Continued Washington Fai^sjVsociation------ East Side Area Meeting (Continued from page 2) reOMOT« AND ISTER was the title of thc suoj he afternoon at thc East Side mcet.ng The panel was introduced by Bill Heaston of Ben- ton-Franklin County Fair. The first topic was “Professional Advertising for Fairs.” Mr. Ken Maurer of Advance Advgr- tising Pasco, pointed out that it is ve y cult for non-professionals to do the same j within a budget, that the professional adxertuer can do. He can take the guess work out of you advertising. Someone who is skilled in this field can get a lot more for your money. In advertising tne Benton-Franklin County Fair, Mr. Maurer uses a different theme each year. He advocates the use of one symbol or central theme in all ad vertising for the fair so the pubic will know at a glance that the advertising is for your fair. There are many new materials for display signs and Mr. Maurer showed signs which have been used in advertising the Beton-Franklin County Fair which used the same theme decal on dif ferent sizes of cards. He stated that once you get your original design, you have the basis for a good advertising program. For fairs with small advertising budgets, he recommended utilizing the services of an advertising agency to set up a program, advising on how money can be spent to the best advantage. He also suggested using the funds available to hire a person in thc area — perhaps someone who works for the local newspaper—to handle publicity. He stated that his agency uses the fair premium book as a basis for writing news stories every year. Fifty news stories can be written from the material in thc premium book, bringing thc fair con stantly before the reading public. Newspaper people are very busy; they will come out to your fair and write a number of stories during thc fair, but if you have a professional handling your publicity he will be constantly looking for sources of advertising material to turn in to the newspaper. Thc case for direct mail advertising was pre sented by Erne dcla Bretonne of Ernie’s Typ- i iteis-Printing of Richland. Fie began bv saying thta by advertisng directly through the'mail, it is possible to reach everyone with information about your fair.

Thc State constitution says State legislature shall never authorize a lottery. In order to have a lottery, then, wc would have to change our constitution. All lotteries are gambling—but not all gambling is a lottery. A lottery is a drawing of lots; it is a distribution of anything of value by chance alone. It docs not involve skill because when you involve skill you get into a game of chance, which is gam bling but not a lottery. Many of thc games we play, such as Parchecsi, Monopoly, etc., are games of chance and illegal. Gambling may or may not be unlawful in this state, but a lottery is always unlawful in this state. You can make gambling lawful by passing a law but thc leg islature may not authorize a lottery. Horse rac ing is not unlawful in this state as it has been authorized by law. Senator Canfield asked the Attorney General thc following questions: 1. Bingo has been played by tens of thou sands in churches, clubs, granges and in all manner of situations, and generally a playing fee is charged and a prize awarded. Question: Is paying a fee to compete for a prize illegal? The answer was "yes.” Is playing illegal if no lee is charged and no prize awarded? This is legal. Is possession of Bingo cards per se ille gal? No. 2. At a community fair some concessions fea ture certain games in which an clement of skill is involved: A.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE REPORT At cach of the district meetings, a report was given on thc activities of thc Legislative Com- wittce in regard to gambling legislation. Thc committee: James Blair, Sr., chairman; Senator Damon Canfield and John Snapper, worked hard on this important project and accom plished their goal of having changes beneficial to fairs included in thc Bill. Although thc Bill did not pass during thc last session of the leg islature, it is certain to come up again. Your Association, through thc Legislative Commit tee, will continue to work for the changes in the gambling bill. Senator Canfield attended thc district meet ing in Pasco and presented thc background lead ing up to final action on thc Bill. Mr. Blair gave the report at the west side meetings. Senator Canfield first asked the question: “What is gambling?” There are different kinds is playing a game of chance, or taking ’ J- - °r .......p ... .... uncertain venture.

Smith, Attorney Listings indicate there arc many attorneys in Everett and some have had their “shingles hung out” for some time. However, the lawyer who probably has the distinction of practicing in Everett for the longest period of time, and still is in business, is Joseph H. Smith. Smith, who makes his home at 608 Warren Ave., in Everett and has offices in the Colby Building, was born May 11, 1886, in Morgan County, Ind., and received his law degree from Indiana University. He was admitted to the bar in that state in 1909, as well as in United States district and circuit courts.He came to Everett the same year and was admitted to the bar in this state, joining in a partnership of Faussett and Smith. He opened his private office in 1914 and has maintained it since.But his life here has not been confined alone. He has been active in many as serving as deputy prosecuting Snohomish County from 1913 to attorney for Everett, as state senator until 1921 and as a i___ r tional Guard from 1917 until 1940. year he was taken into the regu- lieutcnant colonel and set up the for the state. He has been active and civic affairs since 1917. Smith ‘~ i In for many years, Northwest District Meeting Held Harch 21 in Everett The last area meeting for this year was held in Everett at the Everett Elks on March 21. John Snapper, Director from that area, made the arrangements for the meeting. With attend ance down from prior years, the suggestion was made that possibly the west side should have one meeting, rather than two, as is done on the cast side. There was some discussion but no decision was made.Walt Prccht of Evergreen State Fair at Mon roe welcomed the group.Following the welcome, Ward Vandcrgriend of Northwest Washington Fair, reviewed the results of a survey of fair activities in the state, compiled from reports which were submitted to Lee Hall of Kitsap County Fair. The survey covered everything pertaining to a fair and in dicated a great variety of operation within the lairs of Washington. President Keith Marney attended the Everett and talked on “Association Goals and ~t were Bill from Clark County; .*3 Virginia Flaherty Dick Perry, from the Up there and by that very fact were gOinS tn mtract other people who may or may as3 nested in th? idealistic concerns As it did develop, there was a congregation of people there for the sole purpose of devJloPini> a police confrontation and violence. I talked I to th? moratorium leaders and called the Seattle police department officials in and said, Look, we’ve got a problem. You don’t want violence, we don’t want violence; how do we avert it. They developed a monitor system among them selves and we said be that as it may, when things get tough, the monitors arc going to have to step aside and if it becomes a police problem it will have to be treated as such. Il did develop in that fashion. The monitors pretty much kcp. things orderly but the people who were there for violent purposes did break away and start breaking windows up and down the street. The monitors and peaceful demonstrators pulled back, in keeping with our advance understand ing and let the ‘idiots’ identify themselves for what they are, and it could then be treated as a police problem. This is always the problem in one of these confrontations—how do you iden tify the police problem and separate them from the idealists and the rest of the general popula tion there? It was possible to do this and we came out of that particular situation with the moratorium people saying ‘thanks’.” Mr. Robinson said that tactics demonstrators employ can cause you to over-react. This is the one thing that will give violent people exactly what they want. How are you not going to over-react and still treat the problem? The very thing that is one of our greatest virtues, our free speech, is also one of our vulnerabilities. We have to protect our virtues, recognize our vulnerabilities and contend with them as best we can. In returning to possible problems on the fair grounds, he stated that should trouble occur he would advise to immediately bring law enforce ment personnel into action. He stressed the importance of planning for the worst possible development and then treating the matter at the lowest possible level. This may or may not call for the immediate presence of massive force, but it does require good judgment. Depending on whether you have advance intelligence of what your problem is likely to be, you should make your plans beforehand as much as pos sible. He cautioned against taking a minor issue and making it a major one. If you escalate an issue, this may be just what the trouble makers are looking for. Marshal Robinson asked that fairs that use law enforcement personnel on their grounds use this opportunity to create good public re lations between them and the public. “The po lice arc in a defensive posture today and they need help with public relations like they never have before,” added the Marshal. Talk with the personnel you arc hiring about helping every one on the grounds in any way they can. Some of your young people can be placed on the grounds as hosts and hostesses — spend some time with them and give them a helpful atti tude. If they see a problem, sec that there is a single communications point that any of the guards, or hosts and hostesses can immediately communicate with; there should be one person at meeting and talked on the Public Image.” Also present Walck, president-elect, f . - State Fairs Commissioners and Arnold James, and D.~ Department of Agrictulturc. Mr Perry asked that fairs let him know of any changes in fair dates which have been made since the list was published. It is especial ly important that he have this information prior to the time the State Commissioners schedule their annual visits. Since most visits arc made on weekends, and over the period of a few weeks, there isn't time to adjust their schedule because of a visit to a fair which has changed dates without notifying Mr. Perry. Arnold James spoke of the importance of proper signing at fairs—both from the stand point of directing people to the fair, and letting them know where events arc taking place after they arc on the fairgrounds. He recommended the use of permanent, wood signs rather than relying on hand printed cardboard and the like. He advised contacting your County Engineer to have suitable signs made up at no charge. Virginia Flaherty had several suggestions for saving money for more efficient operation. She advised fairs to always ask for bids before pur chasing supplies, as this can be quite a saving. In purchasing plywood for building repair or for either inside or outside use, be sure to buy outdoor plywood so it will withstand the weather and dampness of buildings not in use for most of the year. Mrs. Flaherty passed on information for gel ling maximum use from large open stalls. She suggested that they be divided in half; take out the feed trough at the rear of the stall and put up a hay net. The horses can be turned so they face the aisle, and the public, during the day; at night turn them around so they can eat from the haynct. This is much more sanitary, eco nomical and space saving. Bill Walck conducted the informal exchange ol ideas at the close of the meeting at which many questions were asked and answered by those in attendance. Mr. Walck told of the lour Fairs Meeting which was held in the Southwest area in December of last year. The participating fairs were Grays Harbor, South west Washington, Cowlitz County and Clark County. He recommended this as an excellent way to exchange ideas and attain uniformity ,n gate admissions and other charges to the public, as well as setting a uniform amount to be charged to exhibitors and concessionaires, lhe four fairs got so much out of their meeting H^ning^^^isorder Subject of Featured Speaker The fatu„d! jpeak.at m< cling was L t r. is thc Western Dis- Kobmson, who^e tern > presidential ap- lrict of Washington.

Wed had prior problems and demonstrations, some with violence and some without violence, and in gen eral I will say that advance planning is the best formula you can apply. If you ask me what your problem at fairs is likely to be, I would say they’re not likely to be much different than you have experienced in thc past. That's a dangerous position to take, but I think there is some logic in this. For one thing, schools will be out and much of the dis order we’ve seen thus far has emanated from campuses. Some of your fairs wall be held just before school starts again and young people will be so involved in starting to school, setting up their new organizations and regrouping, so to speak, that I don’t really feel that’s thc critical time. Lastly. I am rather disinclined to believe that the county fair is likely to be the focal point of an issue. In the absence of an issue, I think that we see a reduced probability of de liberate, planned violent confrontation. Supposedly I should stop my conversation here; if you don’t have a problem, what am I doing here? I think you do have a problem still. Some of the problems you have had in the past are with the junks, the rowdies, the individual who gets out of line, and I think you already know how to contend with that. Either you’ve had experience with it, or your local law en forcement people will be on the scene. I'm going on the assumption that your local law enforce ment people will be there; I can’t imagine to the contrary. I am rather keyed up over our problems to day. Where you may concern yourselves with the role that see you here today, my role is law enforcement and social changes, the problems of orderly social change that seems to be re quired. I’d like to depict my philosophy by dis cussing our last major courthouse riot in Se attle, only because I think it will tell you some thing about how I see it. Prior to February 1 7 when we had our real riot, we had several moratorium marches and we’d seen them rang- mg from one to four thousand people with signs, Viet Cong flags, objectionable display nnd ,k5C ]heAnieric™ ^g; the obscenities and the whole bit.

It was also suggested that a permanent record or catalog be made of thc slides shown at each convention, and made available for showing at individual fairs or fail board meetings. These items will be discussed further by the Board of Directors. There will be additional publicity on the slide program, and in thc meantime—please remem ber to take your slides and send them in early to thc person who will be in charge of the program.

Pleasure bestowed upon a grateful mind is never sterile but generally begets reward. that they highly recommend the setting up of such get-togethers in other areas. From these meetings many ideas for area meetings and the annual convention could be passed along. ing thc informal discussion period ideas were exchanged on the subject of admission Fair Promotion Proposal Discussed by Keith Marney Association President Keith Marney, during his remarks to thc three area meetngs, gave more detailed information on thc proposal of Mr. Henry Portin, a professional film photog rapher who has done much work in thc line of travelogs and complete presentations on tele vision. Mr. Portin spoke to thc Board of Di rectors at their meeting in January and out lined what he could offer fairs to publicize and promote their activities. The project would in clude taking of films at various size fairs; tell ing thc fair story—how they came to be, what they accomplish, etc. Thc film would be shown on prime TV time and would be a very pro fessional, attractive show. Thc proposal was viewed with favor by the Directors; however, the price of $15,000 as stated by Mr. Portin, is completely beyond fi nancing by the Association. There is a possi bility that enough commercial time could be sold, involving some of thc agricultural com missions, to pay a. part of the cost but this has not been explored as yet. If this project were adopted, it would have to be on a voluntary basis among the fairs, with each contributing an amount from their budget for this statewide effort. At the meeting in Panorama City, Mr. Stan Johnson and Mr. Andy Clement, of Pacific Communications Co. in Bremerton, spoke on billboard advertising. This kind of advertising, they contend, costs very little in comparison to other methods. The success or failure of bill board advertising depends on how well they communicate with people; their business is a day-to-day selling job on a consistent basis. If you take a poster or billboard and say on a consistent basis, “Fairs are Fun” or “Fairs are Keen,” for instance, and tie in your own local fair promotion, it will attract year around at tention. Thc billboard could be “sniped” prior to fair time with your fair dates; where there are several fairs in adjacent areas, they could each place their dates on the copy as the date draws near. The cost of such advertising varies from $60 for small communities to $100 for larger ones. Mr. Marney asked the fair people in each area to consider the two proposals and decide which, if either, they would prefer for promot ing Washington Fairs.

Safety Of Fairs Checked OLYMPIA — At the request of the State Fairs Commission, a fire-and-life-safety survey of fairs and outdoor shows throughout the state has been initiated by State Fire Marshal Karl Herrman. Director of Agriculture Donald W. Moos, commission chairman, said the buildings and grandstands and pro cedures for handling crowds will be checked at all the shows. Among features to be checked are storage of low-pressure gasses, electrical wiring, heat ing and cooking equipment and water supplies. The check list for safety pre cautions at the fairs will cover a wide range of fire-protection items. Moos said the results of the survey will be made a part of the annual evaluation of each of the shows. Allocations from the state fair fund to the shows may be based in part on the safety evaluation. main fair Rodeo Trailer Space Doubles for Fair Space for trailers and campers has been doubled at the fairgrounds this year for use during the Benton-Franklin fair and rodeo Aug. 27-30.

She estimates that she bakes 200 loaves a year, a con tribution especially appreciated • by her family during harvest time when there are three extra hands with hearty appetites to feed. ‘‘Before a contest, I bake four batches of two loaves, then choose the best,” Kathy said. She won the Washington Wheat Growers contest in Spokane two years ago and came in second at the Benton-Franklin County Fair last year. A Maple Nut Coffee Twist from the Bake-off cookbook won her the prize for creative use of bread. In addition to baking and sewing, the attractive brunette rides her Arabian in open shows and has won trophies in the halter and Western pleasure classes. Daughter of the Boyd Petersons, Kathy helps on the farm and finds time to be active in Future Teachers and Future Ho memakers and the honor society at high school.

The quilting frame her husband built for her is a permanent fixture in their spacious living room. “I can stitch for a few minutes while dinner is cooking or while I listen to Tv." Usually it lakes her three weeks to piece a ouilt and get the top ready, but she can complete one in a week “if I drop everything.” That means spending 12 hours a day for seven days putting in the thousands of tiny stitches re quired to hand quilt one spread. She did 13 quilts last year and the year before, many as wedding presents. Each of her married daughters has a cedar chest of quilts along with embroidered pillow slips done by Mrs. Rawlins. She is delighted with their en thusiasm for sewing: “My daughters even make their own coats. I’ve never gotten that brave!” Mrs. Rawlins, who began quilting when the eldest of her six children was a baby, advises beginning on a baby quilt of soft outing flannel — “It’s easier to get the stitches in.” Crinkle crepe is also good because it washes well. She and her friends share quilting patterns: "We use sheets of plastic and felt pens to make copies.” For prize winning quilts, she cautions: "Keep the stitches uniform and not too large. Coordinate the colors carefully.” z‘.' - : : /■ 1 Sunday, August 16, 1970 TRI-CITY HERALD, PASCO, KENNEWICK, RICHLAND, WASHINGTON not ‘Assembly is very important’ Meticulous attention to detail, coupled with flair for choosing colors, brought top prizes Mrs. Dale Petty will be entering ap plesauce made from Transparents grown on her Block 1 farm—and also applesauce cookies and cakes—this year at the Benton-Franklin County Fair. She entered for the first time last year and won ribbons for her canned tomatoes, peaches, prunes, pie cherries and apricot jam. This year she will branch out not only to baking, but also to sewing, needlework and crafts. She sketches and does cold ceramics in between tending to her family, raising baby calves, helping her husband in the field and taking part in 4-H, Columbia Valley Grange and Block 1 community af fairs.

The apples should be fimr, with no worms or bruises.” To feed her active sons. Jay, 11, and John, 5, and daughter. Joyce, 10. she plans to put up close to 500 gallons of fruits and vegetables this year. “1 also freeze quite a few vegetables.” She doesn’t believe in reseating jars. “If a jar doesn’t seal. I put it in the refrigerator and we eat the food within 24 hours. 1 just don’t want to take, any chances.” The outgoing Mrs. Petty offered to share some of her favorite recipes—for items she’s entering in the fair—with Woman’s World readers.

She plans to devise a pattern for the sleeve lining on the blue ribbon award coat pictured above, so that it will be completely reversible. The charcoal and white coat goes well with the knit dresses and suits in her wardrobe, many in the cheerful colors she enjoys: mango, soft blue, turquoise, peach-and-white. For her son and grandson, she knit matching sweaters, for her granddaughters, a bulky “maxi.” Last year’s fair entries were all made as Christmas presents. After such resounding success with her first entries, is she planning to enter again this year? “I do have a few things ready, but I’m just not very com petitive.” a flair for choosing colors, brought top prizes for all seven knit garments Mrs. C. A. Ragland entered in the- fair last August. Although she has been knitting steadily for the past eight years, she took her first class (from Kay Cyr at Columbia Basin College) this winter. Every garment is knit with a specific person in mind, and Mrs. Ragland believes in choosing good quality yarn. “Knit with an even gauge, and assemble the pieces with care, matching stitches over the shoulders and down the sides. Neatness counts.” She selects the buttons with as much care as the yarn and pattern—leather ones for her hus band’s tan cardigan, silver ones to reflect the soft green of her sister’s sweater, and matching Wednesday, August 19, 1970 TRI-CITY HERALD.

M. “Cork” Sim-; melink, fair-board chairman. Simmelink said attendance is estimated by multiplying gate receipts of $13,375 by 4. It was the highest attendance since ■ officials adopted a standardized , method of estimating the crowd i about four years ago. I Simmelink said there was no , ■special reason for selecting a (multiplier of four, except that ’ “it seemed logical” when chil- !dren’s prices and multiple visits ‘ (by adults are taken into ac-1 count. • Before t h e standardized estimate. Simmelink said crowd estimates were becoming unrealistic, apparently in an attempt to make every fair ap- ipear bigger than the previous ■one. ! Fair officials said apparently Mrs. Dale Petty, Pasco, had the most entries. Mrs. Petty wasn’t sure today how many I items she had entered in open ■ class but guessed it was ‘‘65 | or 70.” I Nor could she remember how many ribbons she won. The fair paid $10,545.32 in! premiums to about. 1.300 ex hibitors. The premium was 14 , cents for each point. 1 Fair, Rodeo Attract 53,500 ‘grand champion Future Far-14-H grand champion mers of America steer.
