Friday morning the girls visited the Supreme Court of Oregon. Last year’s Girls' Nation can didates gave a review of their trip to Washington, D C. That afternoon the Senate and House members went to the capitol building to hold meet ings. House Bill No. 1 was pass ed by both houses and made officially Into a bill. It read: Blood types should be on all drivers' licences. Senate bill No. 1 was passed by both hous es and made Into a recommen dation for the State Legisla ture.

They were Jeanise Reith and Carol Renhart. There was a farewell party held after this. Wedding In Church A countdown shows there are, on the date of this issue of the Sandy Post, just 137 days till Election day. For those who "forgot'' to register in time to vote in the primaries this leaves 107 days of oppor tunity to register to vote next November. For those who said, when they laughingly refused one of the sample ballots in the Sandy Post office, "I never bother to vote one vote can’t make any difference,”—a few figures.: There are 3,239 precincts in the state. Just one vote in each precinct adds up to 3,239 votes. A look at the ballot count in the last election will show that 3,239 votes would have chang ed the outcome of many a po litical contest. One vote does make a difference. The State Board of Educa tion, at its meeting June 11, announced the official results of the Clackamas County vote on the proposed Clackamas County Area Education Dis trict for the purpose of estab lishing a Community college. The total "no” vote was 15,601, while 13,899 votes favored crea tion of the district. Had the measure passed, Sandy’s Charles W. Frasier would have been the board member from zone VI. Frasier garnered 1389 votes while John M McRae of Estacada took 1069. There were 15 write-in candidates, with Perry New port getting four votes, John Del Vai and Milton Cox two each. One was cast for each of the following: Kenneth Coats, Don Forman, George Bun, John Jones, Bob Cody, Orville Flesh- man, Bill Sandstrom, Lloyd H. Ewalt, F. M. Stefanek, Gene Bonney, Tom Scales and Byron R. Warren. At Sandy Bluff— Visitors Come, Residents Travel MRS. W. II. GUNDERSEN JR.

Franila* -------- , 11 W. 1*1 NO ¿-flfl By RODGER EDDY Post Manager We are now a Worlds Fair Veteran, and the self-appoint ed Worlds Fair Editor. And we're going to tell you the things that we wish some one had told us before we spent a recent Friday, Satur day, and Sunday touring the show. First of all, we’ll tell you what kind of a fair-goer we are so you can evaluate our remarks. We like to spend the whole day on the Fairgrounds soak ing up atmosphere. We arrive first thing in the morning and stay well into evening. We like to eat meals there because it’s more convenient, and we like to spend no more than twice what we had originally planned to spend. We like fairs and people, but we don't like pressing crowds or long lines. So, with those ground rules laid out, here are our sugges tions on how to see and en joy the Seattle fair. 1. Get there early and stay late. Crowds are smaller dur ing early morning and evening hours If you have small chil dren of course you can’t stay late. Most things are free. Gate admission is adults, $2, chil dren, $1. Get started early in the morning from home if you can — 5:30 or 6 a m. — so you can make it to the fair by mid morning. The trip up should take you about four and a quarter hours from the Sandy area if you drive briskly but within the speed limits Follow the fair signs as you near Se attle on U.S 99, and the signs will take you on the elevated freeway over the downtown area, and then to the turnoff soon afterwards. We suggest you go to the north side of the fairgrounds which border Mercer street. There is a multi - level park ing building on Mercer street right across from an entrance. Parking there is $1.50 a day 74-Acre Fair Needs Low Heels Wear comfortable walking shoes to the Seattle World's Fair is the advice of officials of the Century 21 Exposition It’s a two-mile walk to take one turn around the 74-acre grounds and visit all the ma jor attractions. For women in spike heels and others indisposed to foot travel, the Fair will provide three unique means of short- haul transportation: Pedicabs, Electricabs, and coupled cars called Elephant Trains. The Pedicab is a sort of mechanized ricksha. Propelling passengers by muscle, the arivers deliver a runnnig com mentary on the sights to see at the Fair. The Electricab is somewhat more sedate and resembles an oversized golf cart with a car mine canopy. It carries five adults. The Elephant Trains, pulled by a small tractor, are simil ar to those found in amuse ment parks all over the na tion Fairgoers may hop on and off anywhere on the grounds. and its convenience offsets the two bits or so you’ll save at other lots a few blocks away. If you arrive early in the morning — 8:30 or 9 — you may find free parking spaces on the streets just north of this lot. We did on two mornings, so if you want to walk a few blocks you can save on park ing. 2. Get a map of the fair grounds so you’ll know where you want to go. The 74 acre tract is easy enough to walk through, but women should wear flats. The maps are loca ted in roofed stands near the entrances. We are reprinting a good one on this page that you can clip. 3. Fairgrounds open now at 9 though some exhibits don’t open until 10. Again, get there early, at least by 9 and earlier if possible. Breakfasts are come back late in the evening about 9 or so. In fact, that’s the best time anyway unless you have the younger set along who can't keep late hours. 6. Another good early morn- vation tower, and some only to the restaurant just below it. The observation tower is the best bet for sightseers unless you want to have a meal or drink. If you like night lights better than daytime viewing, you'll have a very short wait at about 10 or 11 at night. Don't kill your day waiting in line for this one. 7. The last crowded exhibit is the United States Science pavil ion on the south end of the fair. The big white building with arches is impossible to miss. Lines start early on the up per level for the two cinema available in the Armory build productions but herds of 700 ing "Food Circus" in the center people are admitted to the of the grounds, so you can ar viewing room about every 20 rive at 8:30, grab a snack, and minutes starting at 10 a.m., so lines move fairly well.

So in review, hit these four exhibits at off hours: the Ford exhibit in the morning, the U.S. preferably in the morning, end the space needle and Washington exhibits in the evening preferably or else in the morning. The rest of the fair won't present much of a problem. 9. With just the above things you have spent a good full day at the fair. By the way, one can taste the fair in one day, see it in two, and cover it in three, although one could spend a week. 10. Don’t be frightened off by the two religious exhibits — "Sermons from Science” and Christian Pavilion” — as most persons apparently are. Crowds there are small but both fea ture films that are tops, even to an agnostic like us! And by the way the seats are very comfortable, and this will be a consideration by the time you reach here. 11. If you enjoy art, visit the Fine Arts Pavilion for 50 cents. There's traditional, modern, and way • out art. You can easily spend an hour and a half viewing the things you like, so skip lightly over the ones that don’t appeal. 12. There seem to be doz ens of free movies to see at various exhibits and if you are spending three days like we did, stop at every one. The movies are generally different and good, and the change of pace and rest are welcome. Movies are at the UN exhibit, Nalley’s space age theater, Xerox, to name just a few. 13. Many foreign countries have exhibits ranging from products to pictures, and there are a good many little shops of fering wares from various countries. Visit them as your interest dictates, or visit them all if, like us, you’re curious and have three days to spend. 14. Bell System, General Electric, IBM, Electric Utili ties, Railroads, Forest Indus tries, Hall of Industry building, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and others all have fascinating offerings, but can be visited at your conven ience most any time as crowds and lines aren’t pressing. 15. Three free daily water skiing shows are presented in the central stadium, and you should take this in. 16. The central Food Circus building (Armory) offers inter esting fare for meals or snacks, but you may prefer dinner in one of many other small eater ies scattered over the grounds. Two outstanding in both quality and price were the Chun King Rik - Sha restaurant across the street north of the Food Circus building, and a salmon barbecue restaurant located in the center of the off-the-beaten-track girlie "Show Street” in the northeast corner of the grounds. 17. We’ll admit it. We didn’t visit the girlie shows. Our eyes would have bugged out as eas ily as the next fellow’s at the undraped figures, but we just couldn't see the tariff, of up to ing venture (but again, this one is also better in the late eve ning and it operates until midnight) is the space needle 75 cent ride. Four elevators are going up and down all day, but some go only to the obser- $5 per visitor for the privi lege There’s your choice of three or four shows if you’re interested. 18. The gayway is gay, but it's not that different from the county fair. Visit it if the kids insist and if you're got plenty of time—three days or more— or in the evening after 10 when most exhibits are closed. 19. The most spectacular ride is the Union skyride for 50 cents. Carries you from the Gayway corner of the grounds to the opposite end( one way). Several other rides are also in teresting. To the everlasting credit of the fair, there are no swindle booths (at least that we could spot) similar to the ones at the Multnomah County Fair that our neighboring county has al lowed to bilk the public for many years. There are games to play, many of them heavily loaded against the player, but all you're trying for is a prize. We weren’t motioned over to a booth by some gyp telling us he was going to give us a ra dio or a 20-foot-high stuffed animal if we played the game just once. This is what happens at the Multnomah county fair, as you should know if you’ve visited it. Somehow, there the player misses the radio prize, but is too busy trying to figure out how he dropped 15 or 20 bucks in the swindle. As we said, the Seattle fair is free of this taint. 20. There are nightly shows at the opera house, but unless you’re staying awhile or there is an artist that you adore, your time is better spent on the grounds. These shows are good, but the fair can't be dup licated. 20. State of Oregon exhibit is only one from a state. Don’t miss it. It's so completely un pretentious that it manages to reflect Oregon perfectly. It’s small; it doesn't try to sell the state; it’s different. 22. The monorail is a novel ty mile and a half ride. More people were boarding it down town, so our suggestion is round trip from the fairgrounds downtown and jaght back again unless you want to lunch or shop downtown. Seventy - five cents as we recall. Check with the ticket sellers. You may have to wait in line for the return trip because all coach es are emptied at each term inal. 23. Comfort facilities are well planned. Plenty of benches through the grounds, an almost adequate amount of tables in the Food Circus where people share tables, handy restrooms and generally clean ones, es pecially in the Washington State coliseum where things sparkle. 24. We’re not sure how crowded housing will be dur ing the summer, but it wasn't a problem weekend before last. We had and canceled a hotel reservation for $16 nightly for two when we found without trouble an adequate hotel-apart ment 10 minutes north of the grounds for $6.50 a night for two. There were plenty of "no vacancy” signs on motels Friday morning and still were several on Saturday. Prices at one average looking motel were $12 a night for two. There are also arrangements available for campers or for people wish ing to stay in private homes. One couple said the cost ov ernight at a home was $6 with breakfast included. Write Ex po - Lodging, Seattle World's Fair, Seattle, for information on home accommodations, campsites, or motel reserva tions. 25. The World's Fair is some thing you shouldn't miss. It's close and it's not too expen sive. It's partly yours, because Uncle Sam poured in almost 10 million dollars, and private firms dropped lots more. It's yours to share As an aside Oregon's Centennial — down rated by many — doesn't look so bad. especially considering Oregon paid its own way in an age of federal handouts This isn't sour grapes If you liked the Centennial you'll like the World's Fair even more. Special Footnote: You'll find all kinds of people here, only you'll find more of them in more masses We saw push ers and battering rams, the sly foxes who sneak into line's while human beings wait their turn, and the pigs But the crowds aren't carnival crowds They generally are made up of nice looking people like yourselves who can be friendly and interesting. As in life, en joy people but be prepared for the occasional rude fellow, who is, we are sure, not from Ore- gon.
