Baxter Outlines Lincoln's Nature Honesty and the spirit of for .gtveness were almost a fetish with Abraham Lincoln, said Dr. Bruce R. Baxter, president of Wil lamette university, to the Rotary club Wednesday noon in describ ing the .man whom H. G.

Beach Towns Talk 1942 World Fair Ilwaco Mayor Says Foreign Nations to Be Asked to Take Part ILWACO, Wasb., Feb. 7-P)-Preliminary plans for a 1942 World's fair commemorating the 150th anniversary of the discov ery of the Columbia river by Capt. Robert Gray were outlined here today. Mayor Norman A. Howerton, spokeman for a group of Ilwaco, Seaview and Long Beach busi ness and civic leaders, said a per manent organization would be formed in the next few days. "I won't be able to say for three or four days how much money will be spent," Howerton said. "Of course the fair won't be as large as the San Francisco and New York fairs but it will be truly international." Howerton said it was his idea. The fair site will be a 3 5-acre airfield about two miles east of Ilwaco. All Columbia river cities and communities will be invited to co operate along with the states of Oregon and Washington, the Il waco mayor said. The community sponsoring the project has a population of ap proximately 3000 persons. It will be known as the Columbia River International exposition. Foreign nations will be asked to participate.
