Arts, crafts fair has lots to offer By AL GIBES Record Regional Writer Some of the finest art and craftwork in the state possibly in the country is waiting to be carried home by visitors of the Sixth Annual Jaycee Arts and Crafts Fair at the Eastern New Mexico Fairgrounds. The exhibition and sale, which concludes today, has drawn artisans from as far away as Miami. as well as several from Roswell and the surrounding area.

The 100 booths which rim the interior and center of the Commercial Building include virtually every imaginable type of creation of art and hand-crafted goods. Bettie Lou Cheney, publicity director of the fair, said that persons visiting the fair for the first time often come just to look, but repeat visitors have shopping on their minds. "Some people buy as far ahead as Christmas, but most come to get with Mother's Day and graduation gifts," Mrs. Cheney said. To assure visitors of seeing and buying top-rate wares, the Jaycees "jury" the fair by requiring potential exhibitors to submit three color slides of the their work.

The top 100 entries are then chosen for the fair. Joe Corff. Jaycee president, said the fair has grown in popularity since its inception. Last year some 4,500 persons walked the aisles of the exhibit hall and Corff expects to surpass that mark this year. The 75 cent adult fee and the 50 cent fee for school-aged children goes to the Jaycees to support their community-minded programs during the year.

Pre-school children are admitted free of charge. Not only are fair visitors treated to fine displays of arts and crafts, but the Jaycees help set the mood of the fair by wearing authentic reproductions of 1890's U.S. Cavalry uniforms on horseback. Mrs. Cheney pointed out that most exhibitors at the fair seem to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere during the two-day event, and often participate in the fair each year.

One such repeat exhibitor is the team of Gerald and Karel Bagwell, leathersmiths from Tulsa. Okla. Gerald Bagwell has a law degree and says he "technicaly" is a lawyer, but has been travelling with his hand-crafted belts, vests and handbags for more than six years averaging 35 to 40 weeks on the road annually. "I'm not going to get rich this way." he said. "But I make a living at it." Bagwell said he feels fortunate to be working at a job he trujy enjoys.

Another interesting artist at the fair can be found at booth 56. where Paul Hoyte of Truth or Consequences works wizardry with a pair of scissors. Hoyte makes cut-out silhouettes in a minute or less, rarely looking at what his hands are doing. Persons looking for an enjoyable afternoon should have little trouble finding one at the fair.

"He always had an interest in flying, all of his life." said his mother, Gladys Fisher. "He was our only son." she added as she hung up the telephone. Her husband, who had helped their son build the experimental red and gray PITTS Special Biplane, was unable to discuss the accident he had witnessed only hours before. State police said Fisher had been performing some stunt flights and had completed several maneuveurs when his aircraft apparently lost altitude.

The left wing came in contact with an electrical wire strung between a telephone pole and a small building, officials said, which caused Fisher to lose control, careening into the pole. When the aircraft hit the pole, they said, the impact sheared the left wing. The plane then traveled 173 feet along the ground before it came to rest. The crash knocked out all electrical service at the airport, state police said. Fisher was wearing a seat belt at impact.
