Jess L. Thurmond, an Ak-Sar Berr governor and chairman of the civic organization’s public affairs committee, said mailing cf this and other similar checks is part of Ak-Sar-Ben’s program of providing financial assistance to Nebraska's county fairs. With a fund of $50,000 earmarked for the improvement program this year, Ak-Sar-Ben has made $500 available to each county fair in the state which is willing to match the grant with at least a like amount. Mr. Thurmond said the program, aimed at help ing the county fairs build up and improve their facilities for great er service to the public, is made possible by funds from Ak-Sar Ben’s annual race meeting. This is in addition to approx imately $75,000 made available by Ak-Sar-Ben for county fair premiums, part through the state racing commission and part paid directly to exhibitors by Ak-Sar Ben each year. Although Ak Sar-Ben receives countless re quests for donations from many other sources, Mr. Thurmond said the organization has con sistently chosen to channel the bulk of its funds to the county fairs in keeping with a program dedicated to the future of mid western agricultural economy. He said the aid programs will be continued every year, as long as money is available for it. At the recent meeting of the Nebraska Association of County Fair Managers in Lincoln, the fair officials received the offer with enthusiasm, and adopted a resolution commending Ak-Sar Ben for its offer of help in building better county fairs in Nebraska. President Lloyd Gleed and Secretary Edwin A. Wink of the Holt County Agricultural society said tne Ak-Sar-Ben grant and the county’s matching fund will be used for a frame building 32’ x 40’ with concrete floor, to house 4-H exhibits and project club entries, and for 4-H dem onstration purposes.
