D., Jan. 23.—?)— Greater cooperation among officials ; of North Dakota fairs in securing en- | tertainment features and arranging | ®xposition dates was argued by J. A. ‘Kramer of Devils Lake, president of | ‘the state association of fairs. in an| address to members of that body, meeting here today. Arrangement of fair dates so as to eliminate possible chance of conflicts with other circuits and fairs will pro- jote harmony, without which the ‘success of our fairs and the associa- tion itself is in jeopardy, Kramer said. People now travel miles to be enter- tained and fair officials should realize that conflict of dates not only spells disaster financially, but also creates feelings of ill-will among various tommunities, he said. Z \ In regard to entertainment, Kra- mer said, the carnival continues to be an important part of a fair in North Dakota. country the carnival at a fair may be ; but fair officials cannot afford to ac- ions will enable officials to secure such entertainment consistent with the amount’ of money spent and the} amount that can be carned, Kramer said. Enter Field of Theater Calling attention to expensive revues which have been an important part in night grandstand entertain- ment in recent years, Kremer said a great. deal of their success was duc to the fact they were novelties. The more recent revues have failed to at- tract as did their predecessors, duc to it might be well for fair officials to consider, in arranging for entertain- ment, that the public has become ac- customed to the finest theater attrac- dons in the country through the me- dium, of the talking picture theater and the finest in music through the radio, Kramer pointed out. In this respect fair officials are confronted ‘with a new problem, he sald. While admitting that fair manage- ments instead of becoming mere pro- motors of agricultural expositions have lapsed into the category of showmen and upon their showman- shiy depends much of the success of their fairs, Kramer cautioned the fair men lest they forget the importance of agriculture features. “Remove from our fairs our great agricultural features, they turn into ordinary car- nivals or transient circuses and leave upon our patrons no lasting impres- sions other’ than that they were en- tertained without being inspired or educated to make their domesic con- ditions better or to give them the in- centive to make their farms more modern and more profitable,” Kramer said. Must Encourage Agriculture Continuing, Kramer said, “the fair is a medium for demonstrating to the people the progress of a nation or a community.
