Now I have run out of space and I have not even mentioned the exhibits of the 50 nations present. Because they give this "World's Fair" meaning, I want to devote space next week to the description of at least a few of them. W.J.

Back in the gay 90's and at the turn of the century, Barnum no doubt had reason to boast. Probably his greatest asset was his courage to gamble on pub- lic reaction and curiosity. To- day there is another showman whose brain children, born of a fertile imagination, have thrilled thousands for several decades. He doesn't boast. Mickey Mouse and his World's Fair animated figures seem just a thought apart in this area of creativity, yet they have contributed immeasurably to this year's "Greatest Show on Earth". If it can be said there is one star of the New York World's Fair, that star is unquestion- ably Walt Disney, for it is his gift of fantasy that has made many of the commercial exhib- its a joyous adventure. Inevitably the first question one is asked when friends or neighbours learn of one's visit to this billion dollar show is "which exhibit did you like Disney's genius created the little people of Pepsi Cola's "A Small World" gay and danc- ing beside a canal filled with small boats that carry Fair visitors around the world on a ten minute ride through a fairyland of color and fantastic- ally lovely floating objects sus- pended above their heads. His message is clear: A happy world will be a united world and realize "peace through understanding". Walt Disney can just as eas- ily create a tropical setting in a prehistoric world where dino- saurs munch the vegetation, volcanoes erupt and lava flows while today's world inhabitants ride past in Ford's handsome gleaming convertibles from the 'dawn of history to the world of today'. General Electric's "March of Progress" with its family scenes from the advent of Edison's discovery to today's electronic- ally serviced dream house, to me was an amazing Disney ac- complishment in animation con- trolled by electronic tape. While the audience revolved around the stage, the years from the. turn of the century to 1964 were peeled off as painlessly as skin from a banana. Those in the audience who have lived through the various stages of appliance improvement could be detected by their hearty laughter at the humorous pro- jection of electrical advance- ment. Tomorrow's World General Motor's Futurama at the last New York World's Fair in 1939 predicted our massive highway systems that today we take for granted. This comp- any's Futurama 1964-65, pro- jects us in moving chairs equip- ped with earphones into what our world can be expected to look like 20 years from now. Recreation areas will be devel- oped under the sea, communit- ies established in the Arctic atmosphere and the tropics re- claimed for human habitation. Fantastic, impossible? The super-highways they predicted in '39 seemed more than a dream away, but soon ribboned this vcontinent. • These are only a few of the spectacular exhibits created to attract millions of people ex- Diary of a Vagabond (By Dorothy Barker) ONE MAN'S GENIUS best?" It is rather trite to answer "all of them" but I find Barnum was a boaster. His it impossible to differentiate. • HURON'S FREE TB DETECTION CLINIC FIRST DAY RE-VISIT CLINTON—Town Hall July 15 July 20 July 16 July 21 July 17 July 22 BAYFIELD—Town Hall July 20 July 23 CLINTON RCAF STN.—Ritchie Building July 21 July 24 Operating from 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. each day, unless indicated otherwise.
