‘Ak’ Gives $500
to 4-H Building
OMAHA — Holt county was
among the early recipients of
Ak - Sar - Ben’s newest contribu
tion to Nebraska’s county fairs
when recently a check for $500
was mailed to be used on state
wide program of permanent im
pr vements.
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.
CENTENNIAL PAGEANT
A centennial pageant, the story
of Nebraska’s history dramatical
ly presented, will be one of the
highlights of the 1954 Nebraska
state fair ut Lincoln. First show
ing of the pageant will be on
Saturday night, September 4.
