The Fair will open with a potlatch for all natives with Arctic Native Brotherhood as hosts to the visiting natives.

A tentative list of supervisor appointments was made and left to president Charles D. Jones for confirmation at which time a general meeting will be held.

Manager. Carl D. Anderson is planning to begin today for soliciting advertising for the premium list.
