A first glimpse of the World's Fair is awesome! As you arc over the express-way suddenly there it is—a vista of bit!) hies, towers, and improbable forms that appear to be spun of cotton candy. It is marvelous, breathtaking, enchanting, and above all, ENORMOUS.
Traffic and parking are beautifully organized. You are through the gate and on the grounds in a remarkably short time. By any approach the; Fair is challenging. There is so much there, so much to see and, yes, even so much that may be learned.
We sallied forth to the General Mo-tors Pavilion first. It looks like years beyond tomorrow and is crammed with exhibits that snap up your interest. A futurama ride takes you into a world of wonder, where complex exhibits pro-ject man's achievements to include a city under the sea, a base on the moon, and civilization in the wildest jungles.
Chrysler has built a happy, slightly wacky six acres of whimsey that kids can't resist, There are growling polka-dot dragons to battle, engines that talk, and a score of peepholes for pictures. Ford permits even women drivers to whirl new cars through their crystal "skyways" into a fun fantasy of grin-ning Disney cavemen and appealing dinosaurs.

Denmark provides a charming mini-ature Tivoli Gardens for children. In-side the Pavilion are tasteful displays of the crisp, distinctive Danish designs in ceramics, silver, jewelry, and furni-ture, Most are for sale.
In the International Plaza you can snake in and out of shops from a dozen countries and purchase authentic items at reasonable prices. There arc ivory, jade, delicate china, meerschaum pipes, ceremonial masks and bits of a Japa-nese tree guaranteed to grow in your home. This shopping adventure can be superbly crowned by a Belgian Waffle, a terrific conglomeration of waffle, whipped cream, and mounds of fresh sliced strawberries. Scrumptious!
There are three exhibits in the Inter-national Area that should he required: Spain, the Vatican, and the Belgian Village.
The Spanish Pavilion is one to be observed and savoured at leisure. The art work, crafts, and costumes are ex-quisitely presented. The heat of the climate and temperament seems pres-ent everywhere along With a definite
