Advanced two weeks to take advantage ad-vantage of more stable climatic conditions, the Wty-ninth annual exhibit of the Utah State Fair association as-sociation will open September IS and continue eight days, to and including in-cluding September 23. Already indications point to a greater-than-ever interest In the Beehive state's big yearly event. Growers of livestock and farm products prod-ucts are approving the earlier dates because the best of weather conditions condi-tions are highly advantageous to the best showing of their entries, many of which are in prime condition during the early autumn. The same may be said of exhibitors exhibi-tors in the manufacturing, machinery, machin-ery, Junior, women's, art and other departments. All desire to have as many people as possible view their displays and they feel that greater crowds will attend the big show under un-der more favorable weather conditions. condi-tions. Inclement weather proved a material drawback to the fair's success suc-cess in several' recent years. The State Fair Association, headed head-ed by A. O. McKenzle, president, and Ernest S. Holmes, fair manager, are now housed in . the administration building, at. the. spacious .fftate Fair Orbtxnds In Salt Lake City.

Recommendations for the lighting of tennis courts and the construction construc-tion of a swimming pool, to enlarge the scope of next year's recreation activities, are being made by Harold S. Walker, supervisor of men's and boys' recreatltn uer the community com-munity program. The proposals have been advanced by Mr. Walker, in his report on recreation activities covering the period from July 10 to August 31. The report has been submitted to the Recreation committee, the summer's sum-mer's program having ended this week. Mr. Walker points out that floodlights flood-lights could be Installed at the ten-, nis courts with a nominal outlay of funds. During the recreation program pro-gram just completed, it was necessary neces-sary to dispense with tennis tourna ments, chiefly because possible contestants con-testants were working during the daytime, and only the smaller children chil-dren were able to occupy the courts during the day. Lighting the courts would offer an opportunity for more , participation in tennis, both as an occasional sport and as a tournament tourna-ment game. Evening play also would offer the advantage of being cooler. Popularity of swimming classes during the past summer emphasizes the need for a swimming pool here, according to Mr. Walker. Groups have been taken to pools elsewhere, but it has been difficult to make arrangements, ar-rangements, because ' of crowded conditions or inability to make reservations res-ervations at the other plunges. Establishment of a pool here would offer the advantages of greater participation, par-ticipation, as well as proper supervision, super-vision, according to Mr. Walker. A summary of recreation activities during the period since he was appointed ap-pointed supervisor, Is contained in Mr. Walker's report. The report shows that 206 men's and boys' soft-ball soft-ball games were played from July 10 to August 31, with 275 different local Individuals participating. The cumulative total for the 206 games is 4120 participants in softball. In addition to the local softball games, C. R. Clark team played In the county league at Provo, and at the Spanish Fork tournament, making mak-ing a good showing. Smith Drug made a good representation in the Provo series. In the two classes in advanced swimming, 24 participated. Two classes in swimming for beginners were very popular. One hundred and thirty children from five years of age to 14 participated. Four nature-study field trips were taken, for the study of birds. Thirty took part In this activity. Fourteen participated In the Timpanogos Tim-panogos hike, conducted by Mr. Walker, on July 26. Sixty-three attended the astronomy astrono-my lecture and demonstration of the telescope, given by Professor Junius Hayes. Because of the moon coming com-ing into the full phase, conditions were not favorable to continue the astronomy study. However, there Is considerable demand for the course, and at a later date more sessions may be arranged. One of the concluding events of the summer, the dance review and band concert, proved very successful, not only from the standpoint of the participants, but also because of the fact that a third of the Timpanogos stake population was present for the performances. Mr. Walker's summary shows that the total number of participants, exclusive ex-clusive of those in children's activities, activi-ties, the band and women's softbal' was 4381. This figure was obtalr by making a count of those enr In activities each day, and, cr . lng the daily totals. . o- - ' Cave Offir Makes T C. Marsha1 tendent of parks, ! on W offlC TCP WW - ... p.
