But I wish every school child in the' world could see it. , . • ' • • First time 'weever saw the ' Eicrio site was about four years'. ago ago, on a trip to Quebec City. The fabulous fairylands ,of the islands as theyare today were, piles of mud in' the St Lew- rence. then. : • During those years, Canada's gloom., and doom purveyors — and we, are loaded' with them . happily predicted that Expo' would be the flop. of the centu After all, it. • was an, all: Canadian production. ,Couldn't help but be a dismal failure.' • The prophets were appalled when it turned out to be the greatest show onearth. And it , is- • • • Aside front the magnificent liavilions,, Expo has an atmos phere, a flair, that may .never be equalled. There is a gaiety, 'a courtesy, a lack of commer • cialiim, that is like 'heady wine, -in ,' this sour, ill - .mannered, materialistic age. • , delightful chaps gave me three Perfectly clear-mt means 'et getting turned 'around and headed west. An hour later, we • found nearing, the . border of New York State. Home at 3.30 a.m. • Aside from a fel*/ little mis- adventures like that, our big- gest trouble was, girl -watching. , I don't suppose .you could take a plot of ground 'the same size • in the entire world and find one-tenth as many beautiful girls is there are at Expo. Nor - malty, 'I 'wouldn't classify this sort 'Of thieg as "trouble".. • But the girl -watching we did ruined the ordinary type. We spent hours ;and hours, watch- ing Kim. Or. ' trying to. • I'll swear, she carriedwith her a ;package labelled "Instant Invi- • sibility".. ' , • One minute she was' right .there 'at our :elbow.. Btit if we dared. flick a 'glance at any- thing else, • she had vanished into, ,a crowd of over a 'quarter -million. Twenty frantic,. O minutes • later, we'd find • her, calmly "looking at something. and completely uncaring about • where -bwe Were. ,.Thank God she's .got red hair, or we'd still be, muddling around down O there; lookingfor her. With just one, to look after, I 'could only imagine th'e panic' • of those parents who were •there• with five kids darting in /all directions. And there , were thousands of families, down .to three -week -olds,• muling and • puking in their Mothers' arms. Another problem with Kim Was shoes. Going barefoot all summer .• she .bas acquired built-in leather .soles. First day -',she wore shoes, balefully. Sec- ond day she stood them for an hOur,, carried them the rest of 'the day. Third day,. she was happy in raggedy jeans, bare O feet, and no parents. 0 ;No point in my 'describing the pavilions..But trying to see them, all, especially the •big ones, is like trying to eat six big meals in a day, one, right after the ether. If time is limited, nibble the hot d'oeuvre: rum and bongoes at the Haiti pavilion; the stuffed dodo bird at Mauritius; Ah, the gaiety and courtesy with which we were given di- rections 'for getting home, our second' night there,.! The park- ing attendants put us on the , right road with ineffable Gallic charm. Half an hour later, the signs said we were heading,./ not west for Ontario, but south-east for. New Brunswick. I stopped and asked for di- • rectiOns. The chap spoke no English. None But my French was more than up to the crisis. I simply said, " We wanna go, a Ontario Ou est la best route?" • He replied directly and briefly, • in no more than eight minutes of arm -waving; shrugging and fast French. 'Just about then,' thank good- ness, there was a tremendous clang on the highway. A. smash-up. Nobody hurt, but .it did bring the cops, One of them gave me, in fast polite and intelligible English, la route .clirecte. We sped happily along until a sign announced that we were heading due east, • for Quebec City. I stopped at a bar.
