At Fair Demanded Althought the Nebraska State Fair, Sept. 3-9 at Lincoln, is still almost three months away, the demand for industrial ex hibit space is at a high level and promises to exceed the sup ply. "As a result, I'm looking for a space-stretcher," said Jack Hutchens, superintendent of ex hibits . and space. "Every year for the past several years, we have re-arranged both our in door and outdoor space to make more room available for com mercial and industrial exhibits and still we haven't been able to accommodate everyone. "The demand for space at the 1955 Fair is now well under wray and, if I can just find a little more room, it looks like another record-breaker." All of which means that fair goers query of "What's new" will be answered by acres cf farm machinery and equipment, home appliances, and products in many other fields. - : ' XW3. - ' ' " - i " ""-X ' 'MmM-.X.
