An impressive graphic display of the largest hydroelectric
complex in the western world, the Niagara and st. Lawrence Power
Projects, is attracting crowds to the exhibit sponsored by the Power
Authority of the State of New York in the New York State Pavilion at
the New York World's Fair.
The complex, completed during the nine-year tenure or Robert
Moses, now Fair President, as Power Authority Chairman, has an annual
energy output or 26 billion kilowatt hours of low-cost electricity.
More than 650,000 Fair visitors to date have toured the 3,000
square root exhibit. On view are striking photographs, including a
12-by-24 foot illuminated photo mural of Niagara Falls, dioramas and
cutaways. A recording explains how the Power Authority has utilized
water made available by a treaty with Canada to develop and operate
publicly owned power resources ot the Niagara River and the !nter-
national Rapids Section of the St. Lawrence River.
The Power Authority of the State of New York is a non-profit
organization created by the legislature to develop the hydroelectric
potential of the Niagara and st. Lawrence Rivers while preserving
their beauty. No state or federal money is used by the Authority.
It has sold more than a billion dollars in revenue bonds to prudent
private investors who are being repaid out of earnings from the sale
of the Authority's low-cost power to industry, municipal, rural co-
operatives and to private utilities.
The Authority is composed of five trustees appointed by the
Governor. Heading the group is James A. FitzPatrick, Plattsburgh,
N.Y., Chairman; Theodore Hill, Jr., Jefferson Valley, N.Y., Vice-
Chairman; F1nla G. Crawford, Andover, N.Y.; Edmund H. Brown, Lockport,

NEW YORK WORLD

S FAIR, Aug. 4 -- There will be highlights on the
Pair's program of daily events for Wednesday that will be a treat to
the eyes, ears, dancing feet and for camera buffs. At 10 A.M. twenty-
five foreign beauty queens, contestants 1n the International Beauty
Pageant at Long Beach, Calif., will begin their day at the Fair. From
8 to 9:30 P.M., there will be a free concert followed by an hour of
free dancing at the Singer Bowl. The concert will feature the music
of the Dave Brubeck and Duke Ellington bands.
Although the music of Duke Ellington has been an American (and
world-wide) institution for decades, Ellington's greatest renown is as
a composer. Almost 20 years ago in one of Ripley's "Believe It Or Not"
cartoons, it was stated that it would take 2-l/2 days of steady play-
ing, without repeating, to play all of Duke's compositions. In view
of the great flow of the proverbial water under the bridge and composi-
tions from the talented Ellington pen, Duke was recently asked to up-
date this estimate. His reply was, "we don't count them --we just
compose them". Although his popular compositions like "Solitude",
111
A'
Train

Black and Tan Fantasy", "Mood Indigo", etc. are
well known, he has also composed the words and music (as well as doing
the choreography, producing and directing) for the Stratford
Shakespearean production of
11
Timon of Athens". He also did the score

f'ol' the National Theater's production of' the Turcaret classic, "Lesage".
In addition he has composed the scores for such movies as "Anatomy of'
a Murder" and "Paris Blues". He has written the scores for operettas,
musical comedies and plays including his own productions of "Beggars'
Holiday" and "My People". He and his band have done command perform-
ances on many occasions before the rulers of' many countries.
Brubeck, one of the leading exponents of' modern jazz, recently
played at the White House at President Lyndon B. Johnson's request on
the occasion of a visit by King Hussein or Jordan (just prior to his
visit to the world's Fair). He and his group have toured the Middle
East for the State Department and he also has the distinction or having
appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. He has made many appearances
with symphony orchestras blending the idiom of modern jazz with that
of' classical music.
Fa1rgoers can do a double "take" -- "Take Five" and "Take the

NEW YORK WORLD'S Aug. 5 -- They say that figures never lie.
That's why authorities at the Wisconsin Pavilion at the New York World's
Fair are proclaiming far and wide the huge success of their exhibit.
Wisconsin apparently has come up with a formula that ts responsible
tor the popularity of its attractions, according to General William E.
Potter, Executive Vice President of the World's Fair. "They provide
Fairgoers with good food at low prices, wholesome entertainment, a
trout fishing pool, and even a children's theatre, among other things,"
he says.
Wisconsin's participation is geared to the old adage, 'You find a
need and fill it.' That's exactly what they've done, added the Fair
official, who is in charge of state exhibits.
"Since opening day, we've had more than visitors, have
sold more than 1-million steaks in our Tad's Restaurant, and experienced
difficulty accommodating the throngs trying to get into our old-
fashioned Beer Garden," says pavilion president Charles (Chuck) Saunders
of Green Bay, Wis.
One of the last to sign for space at the Fair, six months before
opening date, the Wisconsin Pavilion is one of the top attractions, It
features an outdoor theme and displays the state's principal assets,
from fishing to beer and logging to cheese.
In its 59,336 square feet of space, the Pavilion has a complex of
five buildings with 40,000 square feet under a roof, a good thing when
inclement weather prevails.

cartoonists drawing their cartoons: Walt Kelly, "Pogo"; Frank Roberge,

Features Syndicate gag cartoonist.
Joe E. Ross of the TV show "Car 54, Where A 1 ~ e You?", will be host
at the Cavalcade of Cars Exhibit at the Travel and Transportation
Pavilion from l to 10 P.M.
The New England States Exhibition will stage a program that will
include the 4-H Clubs Band of Mass. in concert; Portuguese folk dancing;
a fashion show, and a pageant contrasting colonial and present-day
living,
The Schaefer Sports Host, Joey Archer, outstanding middleweight
boxer

Will be at the Schaefer Center from Noon to 3 P,M, and from 5
to 7 P.M. In addition, he will cut a color video tape at the RCA
Pavilion at 11 A.M.
The Missouri Pavilion will present the Wohl Steperettes Drill

Band will play at the Federal Pavilion at 6 P.Me and the St. Paul the

from 7:15 to 8:40 P.M. at the Fountain of the Planets, Court of the
Universe just prior to the evening's mechanical fountain, lights and
fireworks display, featuring the "Broadway" show, at 9 P.M.

Tad's Restaurant, decorated in a "Gay 90's" motif ts one of the
principal draws. It features steaks (imported from Wisconsin), flame-
grilled to individual taste, with a salad, baked potato and garlic-
toasted roll, for only $1.19. The lines are long but the wait is never
more than fifteen minutes, according to Saunders.
Wisconsin's famous brewing industry is represented to the Fairgoer
1n an old-fashioned Beer Garden with sawdust floor, chilled steins and
banjo music. Manned entirely by college boys and girls, the Beer
Garden is probably the liveliest place at the Fair, drawing heavily
from the young element, particularly the collegians.
Here you can get a beef or ham dinner for $1.95. No food is sold
after 8 P.M., only beer. With the Red Garter Banjo Band furnishing the
exciting music, the Fairgoer gets into the mood instantly, and the hand-
clapping and stomping goes on until 2 A.M. There's no dancing. As a
Dartmouth student said, "This is an inexpensive way of being together
in an atmosphere we enjoy so much,
11
Another attraction is the Exhibit Pavilion, a rectangular building
that features displays of outstanding manufactured products imagina-
tively displayed with Wisconsin's vast recreational, agricultural and
industrial facilities. Here you can buy cheese, pizza, milk shakes,
waffles, ice cream, fudge and many other items using Wisconsin-only
material and products. The Children's Theatre, showing, through
cartoons, the manufacturing of hot dogs, sausages and other meat
products made by Oscar Mayer is always jammed with youngsters.
There are terraces for outdoor dining near a reflecting pool,
where fly-casting for choice trout, eight to fourteen inches, is
offered. For 75 cents, the angler gets rod and reel and a baited hook
and is given fifteen minutes to lure any of the Wisconsin trout, whioh
is then fried for him. A tagged fish nets the lucky angler a handsome
prize. The pool is stocked with more than 350 fish.
Another highlight of the Wisconsin exhibit is the world's largest
cheese, a 1 7 ~ - t o n Cheddar, made near Denmark, Wis., to exemplify the
state
1
s role as the "Cheese f"'anufacturing Center of the Nation.

591 pounds. The little shops, such as the "Indian Trading Post", the
"Cheese Shack", the "Sugar House", the "Souvenir Store", are busy sell-
ing Wisconsin items.
Theres also the Wisconsin Rotunda, an impressive glass tepee-
shaped building symbolizing the state's Indian loreo This uniquely
designed building, 48 feet in 46 feet high and topped by a
spire lettered "Wisconsin," soars 80 feet above the ground. It contains
the official state exhibit and features Wisconsin's recreational, agri-
cultural and industrial facilities.
What makes the Wisconsin Pavilion's success more noteworthy is the
raot that it is financed entirely by private enterprise. Even though
the contract was signed less than 6 months before the Fair's opening,
the investors were able to accomplish all of this without any state
appropriation for the construction, operation, maintenance and demoli-
tion of the building at the end of the 1965 Fair season. According to
President Saunders, the investment is $1,200,000.
In the words of Saunders, who has been participating in county and
state fairs, including one in Hawaii and the World's Fair in Seattle,
for fifteen years, "You'll never see another fair like that in New York.
For $2.00 you're getting a $20 bill's worth! You get your biggest
dollar value here. You don't have to spend more than you choose.

The Picturesque Belgian Village, a 134-builcling complex that is
rapidly becoming a major attraction at the New York World's Fair, was
officially opened recently.
The village6 which might be described as a 14th century Flemish
painting come alive, transports the visitor hundreds of years back in
ttme and thousands of miles overseas to Flanders. In remarks made at
the opening ceremonies, Fair President Robert Moses said the effort
"to reproduce faithfully the cobblestones, sidewalks, facades and
atmosphere of a Belgian village" was "a triumph of architecture."
Adding to the air of authenticity that pervades the village was
the presence at the official opening of Louis Houtave, Mayor of Damme
6
the Belgian town whose town hall served as the model for the one at
the Picturesque Belgian Village. Mayor Houtave told the crowd assem-
bled for the ceremony in the village's Town Hall Square that he was
"pleased to see Belgium so authentically reproduced here."
Also at the ceremony were Alphonse de Rijdt, architect or the
village, Andrew Forthomme, Belgian Consul General, and many members
of the World's Fair Executive Committee.

The letter, written by Mrs. w. H. Keefe of 1630 Sheridan Street
1
Niles, Michigan, mentioned that her three children then aged 12, 10
and 7, had been saving pennies in a bleach bottle to finance a trip
to the Fair. The Mayor passed the letter along to Fair Corporation
officials, who forwarded the requested information to Mrs. Keefe. An
exchange of correspondence between Mrs. Keefe and Fair officials
followed. A telephone call to the Keefe family by a Fair official in
July of this year elicited the information that family plans for their
Fair trip were being formulated, and that the bottle, with a slot and
a sign reading "Put a penny there for the 64 Fair," was filling up
rapidly. The family calculated that every 30 pennies represented 16
miles of the distance from Niles to Flushing Meadow Park (based on
16 miles per gallon in the family car).
Subsequent arrangements resulted in the arrival of the Keefe
family, Mr. & Mrs., 12-year-old Kevin, 10-year-old Barry, and ?-year-
old Kathy, at the National City Bank at the Fair, where they traded
3,300 pennies for $33. They then enjoyed a VIP tour of the exposition
accompanied by the Fair's Director of Publicity, Peter J. McDonnell.

The Picturesque Belgian Village, a 134-buildtng complex that is
rapidly becoming a major attraction at the New York World's Fair, was
officially opened recently.
The village, which might be described as a 14th century Flemish
painting come alive, transports the visitor hundreds of years back in
time and thousands of miles overseas to Flanders. In remarks made at
the opening ceremonies, Fair President Robert Moses said the effort
"to reproduce faithfully the cobblestones, sidewalks, facades and
atmosphere of a Belgian village" was "a triumph or architecture."
Adding to the air of authenticity that pervades the village was
the presence at the official opening of Louis Houtave, Mayor of Damme
1
the Belgian town whose town hall served as the model for the one at
the Picturesque Belgian Village. Mayor Houtave told the crowd assem-
bled for the ceremony in the village's Town Hall Square that he was
"pleased to see Belgium so authentically reproduced here."
Also at the ceremony were Alphonse de R i j d t ~ architect of the
village, Andrew Forthomme, Belgian Consul General, and many members
of the World's Fair Executive Committee.

The letter, written by Mrs. w. H. Keefe of 1630 Sheridan Street,
Niles, Michigan, mentioned that her three children then aged 12, 10
and 7, had been saving pennies in a bleach bottle to finance a trip
to the Fair. The Mayor passed the letter along to Fair Corporation
officials, who forwarded the requested information to Mrs. Keefe. An
exchange of correspondence between Mrs. Keefe and Fair officials
followed. A telephone call to the Keefe family by a Fair official in
July of this year elicited the information that family plans for their
Fair trip were being formulated, and that the bottle, with a slot and
a sign reading "Put a penny there for the 64 Fair," was filling up
rapidly. The family calculated that every 30 pennies represented 16
miles of the distance from Niles to Flushing Meadow Park (based on
16 miles per gallon in the family car).
Subsequent arrangements resulted in the arrival of the Keefe
family, Mr. & Mrs,, 12-year-old Kevin, 10-year-old Barry, and 7-year-
old Kathy, at the National City Bank at the Fair, where they traded
3,300 pennies for $33. They then enjoyed a VIP tour of the exposition
accompanied by the Fair's Director or Publicity, Peter J. McDonnell.

S FAIR, Aug. 12 -- "Getting to know you -- to like
you --" are more than just the words of a song now for several hundred
young people in the International Pavilions of the World s Fair.
A recently launched International Hospitality Service has
brightened the lives of these youngsters by providing them with a
social center for their off duty hours where they can meet and learn
about each other and their American counterparts.
It all began when Robert Moses, President of the Fair, heard
reports that many of the hosts, guides, restaurant workers and enter-
tainers from foreign lands expressed a desire to meet other young
people. Though surrounded by streams of people all day, theirs were
only the transitory, impersonal relationships made in the line of duty.
Language difficulties added to the innate shyness of those who had
always led sheltered lives, and social mores proscribed the freedom
of action customary among American youth.
In addition there was a realization that these young people would
be the focus of attention when they returned home. They would be
expected to interpret America to their own people. Yet they had seen
almost nothing or our country or even New York City.
Mary Jane McCaffree, director of women's activities for the Fair,
was handed the responsibility of formulating a program which would not
only foster a spontaneous mingling, but would also introduce the
foreign nationals to various phases of American life.

8/64-R57
.. 2 -
Working with representatives of the Fair's International Division
and Public Relations Department, Mrs. McCaffree enlisted the enthusi-
astic support of pavilion managers and the Women's Advisory Council.
Quarters were provided, temporarily, in the lounge of the Women's
Hospitality Center, located in the Purex Penthouse of the Better Living
Center, and volunteers from the corps of press aides and protocol
guides offered their services as hosts and hostesses at a series of
afternoon parties which kicked off the program.
The youngsters were taken on a trip of the Stock Exchange, a
swimming party was arranged on a private estate in Roslyn, Long Island,
and tn the offing are several beach parties, visits to theaters and
other cultural institutions, and boat trips around Manhattan.
The cooperation of the Midtown International Center and UN
Hospitality Service was enlisted to make arrangements for invitations
to American homes.
At the suggestion of the managers of the Pavilions of Spain and
Japan, the two largest employers in the International Area, Thursday
evening "get-togethers
11
were initiated.
As news of the program spread, several of the Industrial Pavilions
volunteered to provide free soft drinks and young Americans, working in
various pavilions at the Fair, were invited to join the parties.
The majority of the International Pavilion guests are in their
early twenties. The men, as a rule, show up in business suits, but
the girls overwhelmingly prefer their flattering -- and ult1a feminine
national dress. The sexes are about evenly divided at the parties.
Mrs. MoCaffree finds the crowd an unusually well-mannered one.
Though there is provision for dancing, just talking -- forming and
reforming conversational groups -- seems to offer the greatest enjoy-
ment.
The youngsters are beginning to take an initiative in making
their own contribution towards the Socials. They have volunteered to
entertain the rest and provide national food delicacies they are
particularly proud of.

As a highlight or the program, two air trips to Washington, D.o.,
on August 14 and 21, have been arranged, They will visit the National
Archives, the Capitol, Arlington Cemetery, National Gallery,. and the
White Houae and they will be greeted at a reception by Washington
officials and embassy representatives,
Eventually, the Fair's International Hospitality Center hopes to
aerve all or the approximately 4,000 employees in the International
Pavilions creating, in its fashion, a manifestation or "Peace through
Understanding."

NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, August 14 -- Close to 100 members of the
Aviation/Space Writers Association, from many parts of the country,
plan a busy day at the New York World's Fair on Monday, August 17,
1964. As an early part of the Fair's observance of National Aviation
Day (Aug. 19), the writers will mark the 35th anniversary of air
passenger service by making a tour of aerospace and air transport
exhibits at the Fair.
Eastern Airlines Senior Vice President and General Manager
Arthur D. Lewis, New York City, will be the principal speaker at the
luncheon-meeting to be held at the Malaysian Pavilion Restaurant.
Special honors will be paid to three pioneers who were aboard the
Eastern Air Transport Ford Trimotor flight which inaugurated New York
City's first scheduled passenger and airmail service out of the old
North Beach Airport, now LaGuardia, on August 18, 1930. Recognition
also will be given to National Aviation Day designated for Wednesday,
August 19, by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Elmer H. Sperry Jr., Hilton, Conn., first passenger and well-
known inventor, will join with Capt. E. H. (Pete) Parker, Summit
6
N. J., and his co-pilot John B. Armstrong, Miami, Fla., both retired
after long careers in the air, in recalling that first flight nearly
ten years before New York City boasted a municipal airport. Mr.
Sperry's gyroscope and other navigational instruments invented three
decades ago have made possible todays high standards of safety in

air navigation and night flying, and are presently guiding our explora-
tion of outer space and missiles to the moon.
Pilot Parker recalls that the "Tin Goose" carried only 11
passengers, five pounds of airmail and a spare tailwheel in the 12th
seat, and served six cities, New York, Newark, Camden (Philadelphia),
Baltimore, Washington and Richmond.
"They rated the 'Tin Goose' at 120 miles an hour cruising," the
veteran captain says, "but I could never get more than 90 out or it,
a headwind slowed us to about 40 or 50. On our first flight we
bucked a headwind to camden from Newark. It slowed our Ford Trimotor
so that four-wheeled Fords on the highway which served as my 'flying
beam
1
zipped past going in the same direction."
In the beginning there was one flight daily, except Sunday,
serving a round trip to six cities over a 310-mile route each way. A
total of 22 passengers made the round trip. The time one way was 4

As to the school kids with teachers in 1965,
we can add about two weeks by beginning at the opening
of the Fair. As to the family tickets, strongly recommended
by G. M. and other big exhibitors, I am inclined to favor
something along this line in connection with the advance
sale we are planning. We can talk about this a little later.

Icons (also spelled ikons)
are pictures or Images of
Christ, the Virgin Mary or
one of the saints to which re-
ligious devotion 'has beeh at
tached. They are considered
holy.
'Ibis displayed Icon dated
from 1300 is a picture of the
Virgin Mary and Child origl
nating in Kazan, Russia.
Brought by conquering troops
to Moscow, It was enshrined
in the Kazan Cathedral built
in 1630 in the Kremlin.
ALL THE PAINTING ex-
cept the faces of the Virgin

1630 rizza which 1s a metal

World's Fair Movies Many and Good

Most Are Free
By ALEXANDER 1\III.Cll
Never has there been an PX
position ofrering so many
movies. or movies so good.
as the 1964 New York World's
Fair.
And ncVl'r movies
been shown in so many ways
- front, side. aho1c, below
and wrap-around. Some of lhr
techniques imolvrd a1e quite
new. Best of all, most or them
are free.
It was nothing like this a

This sounds like Cin<'ranw.
but isn't, hecaus!' no effort is

SECOND PL.\CE would go

rolor film at the theater in
lhc Protestant and 01thodox
Cente1. This picture, wh1ch
has already hl'en inrol\pd in

ern-clay ret>l'l'Sl'litation of thl'
Crue1fixion. It was pmuuced 1

The point of contention has 1
been 0\'PI' the repl'esPntat inn
of Christ as a whHe-faced
l'lown in a cirrus operatrd by
Magnus the Gn<Jt (Herod).
Considering thl' reverpnce and
good taste in which the pic
lure IS dont>, lhe argumPnt
seems 0\'CI'hlown. particularly
since the actions of the
"clown" are anything but
clownish. Clarenee 1\litl'hell of
th(' Srcond City Company, i
Chicago, plays this central 1
figure.

TIIIRD PLAl:F. goes to an
unpretentious little film. some
R' minutes long, shown for
fne by United Airlines in its
bandbox .Jl'terama Theater in
the Transportation and Travel
Pal'ilion. Called "From Here
to There," it is by Saul Bass.
who has bern associated with
many big-lime Hollywood ef
forts.
The gem depicts the poig
nancy of goodbyes at an air
port, and the gladness of
greetings when the traveler
anives at his destination. In
b<'tween arc some
lovely lamlscapts to be seen
from the air.
Hating fourth is "To the
Moon und Beyond." a Ciner-
ama picture shown al lhc
same T&T building (admis
sion 75 cents). The showing of
this science film. with sprc
tacular \'iews or the heavrns
and waiNs, is on the insirte
of a huge Ol'erhead dome, the
spectator seated below. One
needs a limber neck to look
around; the chairs don't bend

also by Bass. that rates fifth
placl'. and regretfully so. since
hopes had been high this
would be the fair's top Ciim
attraction. The theme is a
small boy's wonder at nature
and its works. Particularly
good are time telescoping
vitws of the opening up or
flower petals.
N. Y. JOURNAL AMERICAN FRI. JULY ?4,!964
Upstairs at Kodak, its East-
man subsidiary has a free
picture on chemicals, chiefly
interesting for momentary
riews or an old Chaplin film
and the movie "Cleopatra."
Several other small movies
are shown in open booths
around this pavilion, one of
them with a preview of scenes
from a new picture, "The Un-
sinkable Molly Brown." I saw
enough of the latter to decide
not k> go.

AN INTERESTING !ilm, In
coJporatlng scenes of atomic
bomb blasts, is to be round
at the Sermons from Science
pavilion, which a.Jso offers
stage demonstrations featur-
ing an insulated gentleman
whose body becomes a con-
ductor for high-voltage elec-
tricity, All showings at this re
Jigious exhibit are free.
Two wrap-around movies
are aYailable to Cairgoers
with movie screens on ali
sides. The Port of New York
Authority has one (no charge)
at its heliport while New
York State's costs 25 cents.
At the PA, 10 screens are
used with the spectator stand
ing in the center. It is some
what. bewildl'ring until one
realizes the thing to do is to
face the way the lead camera
does. Scenes were taken by 10
camPras in a circle atop cars
and in planes.
The P A effort is devoted to
scenes around authoritv terri
tory in New York and New
Jersey, and there are striking
Yiews of the harbor shared
by the two stales. One scene
was taken along Broad Street
in Newark.
Seven cametas were used
for the New York State film
with effects just as over:
whelming. Here too one stands
in the center - and longs for
a swiv<"l chair. The scenes
arP or that state and its vari
ous attractions. In one 9Cene,
thousands of apples every-
where O\'erwhelm the specta
tor.
The movie underfoot is "The
Chemilal Man," presented by
Abbott Laboratories in the Hall
of Science. Spectators ring a
pit to watch an animated film
on the marlwls of molNnlnr
actiVIty which create and sus-
tain ltfe. Three-dimensional
modC'Is light up to show the
eomplexities of the genes in
man. It IS one of the best of
thP many scientifiC showings
at. the fa1r.

goes past 130 screens of

selves on a collision course
with a large screen - only to
have the screen move out or
the way at the last possible
moml!nt. its picture neverthe

A movie shown separately
at this pavilion is well worth
seeing: "Voyage to Amerira.''
or mov1es !!nne!,
as the 1961!\cl, Yotl\ \\'o1. J's
Fair.
And ncvtr have mtl\'ies
been shown in so many ways
- front, side. Hhove, below
and wrap-around. Some of the
techniqul.'s involved are quite

and the publit'. too, by lt:g
vote, has rhosen the picture
as the fair's outstanding er

hundreds flock to the curious

17V:!minute maslf.'l'l'iece.

hut isn't, because no effort is
made to join the three pic-
tures. The SCI'I'<'ns are about
Center. This picture, whirh
has already hl'cn inrohed in
some contl'O\'ersy, is a mod- ,
ern-day rt>prtscnt at ion or the :
Crucifixion. It was produced I
by Fred A. Niles. !
The point of contention has 1
been over the representation
or Christ as a white-faced
clown in a circus operat<>d by
Magnus the Great (Herod).
1
Considering the reverence and
good taste in which the pic
iure is done. the argument
seems overblown, particularly
since the actions of the .
"clown" are anything but :
clownish. Clarenee Mitchell of
thl' Second City Company, I
Chicago, plays this rentral
list lrcturl.'s about the need for
religion in "Man in the Firth
Dimension." In color, lht> pic-
ture runs for 28 minutes. F-ar-

"We're not much on trave1 and are

THURS. JULY9, 1964

with DAN TABLER
Last week, we carried you into upper New York State where
12 Centreville Girl Scouts set up camp for a week. The Good Wife,
Jan and I bea.t a hasty retre=lt smattmg at m01quitoes and headed
for New York City, the National Editorial Association Convention,
and the World's Fair.
A beavy J[n)UJld fog settled over the Hudson .River as we
drove down llivenide Drive at noon Wednesday on our way to
the Hotel Commodore on 42nd St. The George Washington
Bridge seemed suspended in cotton as we passed it and Jan
could just barely make out the outlines of some ships in the
channeL
I drove up in front of the hotel at what I thought would be a
slack period for both traffic and people checking in and out-but
apparently there is no such time in New York City during the sum-
mer. One bit of advice here: Don't go to New York this swruner
and try to get a room without plenty of advance notice-and even
then you may find you don't have one. We were lucky-our room
was available, but it was 1mall and not air-conditioned. A brother-
editor from Aberdeen, Bill Cronin, his wife Charlotte and two
children, arrived just behind us and it took the hotel people hours
before he was settled and his reservations were in long before we
sent ours.
After a much-too-long wait in line at the reservation desk, we
were able to get our luggage up 19 floors to tl1e room and we
rushed back down to catch the NEA crowd leaving for the tour
and briefing at the United Nations Building three blocks away.
I don't wut to tell you how to act uad what to see when
you go to New York-the World's Fair is the main attraction,
BUT if you do pt into the city and have 800Je time, a tour of
the United NatiOnl BWiding is a must.
Because of the NEA convention we were given a special brief
ing on the work of UNESCO by Dr. Arthur Gagliotti, the director
of information. He was followed by a young Austrian diplomat
whose name I missed but he explained the workings of the UN in
simple terms being careful at all times to show complete impartiali-
ty when discussing the various nations who make up this world
body.
We-some 200 by this time had arrived with our little blue
nametags-were led back through a number of doors and stair-
ways, guarded by security officers, and back to the main lobby
where we were split up into groups of 25 and led off by very
1 charming youn$ ladies in dark blue uniforms. Our guide was Miss
I Pelen and she Informed rue that she was from France. I asked her
later how far she walked a day and she said they had estimated
about 12 miles. And then, completely without fear, I asked her age
and she kinda arched her eyebrows and said, "over 20." She did
tell me that her father was a French diplomat, so I imagine you
need a little bit of political pull to get a job as a UN guide. The
other girls appeared to be of various nationalities, as we passed
many tour groups coming and going.
The Security Council was not meetiftg, but we entered the
Chamber and she explained how the seating was arranged and
pointed out that it was being enlarged for the next session.
We did get into the Trusteeship Council hearing room and the
USSR delegate was speaking al the time. You put on earphones
which can then be turned to various numbers to give you
English, French, German or Russian language interpreters and
rou follow the hearing on the spot. Miss Pelen sa1d that the
mterpreters are so expert they are -asually only about two words
behind the speakers. '
Back to the hotel, my request for an air-conditioned room
put on a waiting list, which 1 never expected to see aR:lilm-:aLn
didn't. We dressed and went to a reception in the East
given by the U. S. Steel Corporation. Here .Jan met up with
for the fir'St time and turned up her nose.
This was get-acquainted time and I ran into a number of
editors who took the Canadian trip back in 1959: There was
Colby and his wife, from Littleton, New Hampshire; Lcs
his wife from St. James, Minnesota; Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Pulaski, New York; Jimmie Gillentine and his wife from
Te_xas; Walt Potter and his lovely wife, Kay, from Cuilpe:p1J.er.
(Walt was my roommate on the trip); Ed Wessel and
from New London, Iowa; and later on, Chuck Del Vaglio
Connecticut showed up.
On hand also, was Colin McDonald, the tour director of
trip, with the Department of Travel and Publicity for the Pnwi'"""
of Ontario, and his very pretty wife, Shirley.
The Cronin.'i and the Tablers went up the street to Tad's, a
small steak house that specializes in cooking 'em in the front
window and the sign says "steak dinner, $1.19"-and by golly,
it was good! A large T-boae, baked potato, salad artd bniad-
try to cat any cheaper than that in Baltimore! .
It was 9 p.m. when we finished, but Bill had tickets for
World's Fair and the kids just couldn't wait any longer, so we
back to the hotel, walked down a couple flights of stairs and
on the subway platfor111 in a matter of minutes. You follow the
arrows and they lead you to bright blue new subway cars that
you to the main entrance of the Fair for 15 cents in 25
on the local or 18 minutes on the express.
lly the time we arrived, the fireworks were over and
was streaming out of the gates, but we shouldered our way '"""'"""'
and found that night is the mO!It beautiful time for the Fair.
Just two words right here: Fabulous and Immense. Both re-
fer to the Fair. We walked around for a couple of hours as the
gates do not actually close until 2 a.m., but all the pavilions
close at 10 p.m. The lights were gorxeous, the fountains beauti
ful and all in aU, just too much for my limited vocabulary.
Please go-if not this year, next year, but go-it is well worth
the time and money. And frankly, most of the things to see
are free and we snacked at the Brass Rail for less than it
COllts in Memorial Stadium for hot dogs and hamburgers.
I might suggest that you plan on more than one day-you just
whet your appetite in one day. General Motors hosted the entire :
convention.-some 850 people on Friday-and Coca-Cola had Pre
sented us tickets for Sunday, but we were unable to get back Sundat
and had to leave a lot of places to what we hope will be a return.
visit next year.
Now about our Maryland Pavilion. At night it looks nice, but
1t was after I 0 p.m. a.1d we did not get to order any seafood
1
as the snack har had closed. The county exhibih are in place, but
what a place! You walk a kind of a boardwalk and have to
look down at the 3x:i-foot panels describing the various counties
that paid $1,500 for the space. The Queen Anne's County display
is as nice as the rest, but I was disappointed in the manner in
which it was exhibited. We looked in the restaurant upstairs, but
since we did not want to order a meal, didn't go in. It appears to
be nicelv decorated and doing a good business. I understand our
french-fried soft-shell clams are still not available at the snack bar,
hut arc on t ltc ;eafood platter menu in the restaurant. The small
ha, al out a foot of water in it and oyster shells line the
bottom. The scale wodcl of the Constellation ricles at anchor, but
r
a little out of proportion to the rest of the building. I don't
want to appear too critical of our state's pavilion, and actually it is
'ju't a; nice or 'omewhat better than other state pavilions. 'The
