The most prominent point of interest, after we arranged our- selves at the hotel, was the Em- pire State Building. Soaring . up 86 storeys, we stopped at the observatory terrace on the 86th floor for our first aerial glimpse of the city. Ten hundred and fifty feet above the street, we looked down and down on an animated map of toy cars and ant -like peo- ple, flowing orderly through a network of streets. The thriving section of Wall Street projected its spires from the lower buildings surrounding it and in the New York harbour, the bronze statue of Liberty glimmered on Eedloe's Island like a jewel reflecting the sun's bril- liance. However, we were not at the top of this building and we ascended to the 102nd storey 1,250 feet above the ground level, on top of the highest building in the world. Returning to the hotel, we pre- pared for the first musical, "Bells Are Ringing" starring Judy Hol- liday at the Schubert Theatre. Saturday morning, after the "rise and shine" signal at seven thirty, we began the sightseeing tour of the city. We visited the famous Wall Street where the moneyed interests of various businesses are controlled. China- town, where pagoda -like buildings house strange perfumes and dried foods such as fish, octopi and shrimp in true oriental style. From Chinatown we ventured into the worst Negro section of New York, called Harlem, and in - SERVICE PROVEN CONCENTRATES for POULTRY, HOGS and CATTLE f Inquire about Low Grain Costs ,;.; -•_,. •� In Truck Load Lots ; c7,-•'<.'.• (DE.LIVERED TO YOUR FARM) M.

Here our tour included a visit to each of the four magnifi- cent meeting rooms, furnished ex- quisitely by Denmark, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, France and other nations. Saturday evening we enjoyed the second musical ‘"Lil Abner" at St. James Theatre. Accepting the rain (in bucket- fuls) on Sunday morning, we made our way to the largest cathedral in the world, that of St. John -the -Divine. The deep rumbles of the five manual organ, the intense colouration of the ritualistic procession of the offic- ers of the cathedral and the fact that this was Easter Sunday, and we were in the largest cathedra to be found, made an impression on our minds far greater than we had witnessed before this. Radio City Music. Hall on Sun - :lay night was the most memor- able part (for some) of the trip. The unique stage with various ele- vations, the deep scallops of the .urtain, the declining movement )f the n' -^hest' a, and the harmony of the four -console organ, created in us a feeling of majesty and content. The execution of activities on Monday was left to our own dis- cretion, and many chose the "Let's shop this morning, and sightsee this afternoon" plan. Most, at one time or another managed to visit the Historical Museum of New York, the Heyde" P• anei - ariom, and Rockefeller Centre. Rockefeller Centre was mag- nificent with its statues of Atlas holding up the universe and the shining bronze Prometheus guard- ing the ice rink in the lower plaza, transformed into an open air restaurant during the summer months. After oul• last m'�su:ai "The Music Man" at the Majestic Theatre, with a cry of "Exeter or Bust" we staggered aboard the bus at 12 p.m. and fell fast asleep.
