Two Sandy Girls Chosen One-Vote Count
Says 'Register'
For 21st Girls' State
Carol Ackers and Erlinda
Ponta were chosen by the
American Legion Auxiliary to
attend the 21st session of the
Girls’ State held at Willamette
university in Salem from June
11 to 17.
During this week the girls
learned how the government is
set up and how the duties of
each officer are carried out.
The first day featured greet
ings from such distinguished
guests as JoAnn Johnson, gov
ernor of Girls’ State; Miss Nan
cy Kirkpatrich, director of
Girls' State; Russell F. Bone-
steele, mayor of Salem; Mrs.
Richard Gearhart, department
president of the American Le
gion Auziliary; and many oth
ers.
The first order of business
was to divide into county
groups, form cities and elect
mayors. The name of Carol and
Erlinda’s county was Razor,
with the cities of Nick and
Scratch.
Tuesday saw election of city
and county officers. At dinner
that evening Sheriff Dever
Young of Marion County was
guest. Amateur hour was also
held this evening. Wednesday
the girls split into parties, the
Nationalists, of which Erlinda
was a member and the Feder
alists, of which Carol was a
member. Carol was elected
from her county to run for
State Attorney General.
That afternoon they held par
ty conventions, that evening,
campaign rallies. Each candi
date made a short speech.
The Salem Drum and Bugle
Corps aided the Federalist par
ty in their campaign.
Thursday morning state elec
tions were held.
Gretchen
Young of Beaverton was elect
ed governor.
That afternoon the Senate
and the House were organized.
Carol and Erlinda were both
elected as State Representa
tives. At the Governor’s inaug
uration in the state capitol
building, Gov. Mark O. Hat
field was guest speaker In the
evening there was a style show
in which each girl interested
modeled something she had
made. Carol modeled a beige
suit trimmed in fur. 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. It read: Require an ap
proximate one year course in
Andrew Hartman
Made I ..S. Citizen
Communism in school This is
to be supported by the State.
Requires teachers
to take
courses in summer school also.
That afternoon the girls were
visited by 500 boys from Boys'
State, being held in Corvallis
at Oregon State college. There
was a dance in the parking lot
of Matthews Hall.
A Mock trial was held in the
Circuit Court of Salem. Judge
Alfred T. Sulmonetti presided
with attornies Don Eva and
James Morrell. Carol was
sworn in as a jury member.
Saturday Robert Y. Thorn
ton, Attorney General of the
State of Oregon, spoke. That
evening the candlelight cere
mony was held in the rotunda
of the state capitol building.
After the ceremony the two del
egates of Girls’ Nation were
announced. They were Jeanise
Reith and Carol Renhart. There
was a farewell party held after
this.

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.

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.

THE SEATTLE WORLD’S EAIR Ji
8. 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.
