A Great State Fair FROM the viewpoint of vim tun to the Iirty-second Iirty-second annual state fair, the exhibition was a great success. Final figures of attendance and the balancing of the books remain as unfinished business, but when the reports are completed it is to he hoped that it was financially successful as well. Whether or not this prove to be true, exhibitors, the state government and the people of Utah have reaped an intangible but large profit that is entitled to be set down in the books, even though it may not be done in figures. Further progress in developing facilities at the fairgrounds to make them an outstanding exhibition and amusement center was notice able this year. Exhibits continue to show increasing in-creasing diversity from year to year. In this respect the displays Indoors and those in the open air arras surpassed anything in the past. Agriculture, livestock, manufactures and mining made an excellent showing. Educational institutions insti-tutions and cultural enterprises added much to the telling of Utah's story with most creditable .exhibits. The lively program of entertainment and fun making left nothing to be desired. Young and old, established dwellers and the stranger within our gate left the fairground! with a new appreciation of the state, its resources, re-sources, its business and iU industry. The state fair board, ita new presidrnt, A. G. Mackenzie, and veteran fair manager, Ernest S. Holmes, have every reason to be proud of this year' fine show and earn the appreciation of the people of the state. They have already undertaken un-dertaken preparations for next year' fair and should be manifestly encouraged by the 1937 exposition.
