Pacific Northwest Exposition
Proposed for Cities for 52
By PETER HAVES
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 17 CUBIts mm 1 it t more than a
dream, but a plan i afoot to stage a "near west-' exposition in
the northwest in 1952 that would attract at least a million
visitors.
Details of the grandiose project were disclosed during the
22nd conference of the Pacific
Northwest Trade association.
The two-day meeting ended
here yesterday.
Lou Herron, a Seattle travel
agency owner, is the father of
the plan. -
He was Invited to explain It
to a conference panel group on
the tourist industry, and the
members waxed so enthusiastic
that a resolution was passed
asking the president of the
PNTA to appoint a committee
to Investigate further the feasa
bility of such an exposition.
Capital Journal, Salem, Or., Thursday, Not. 17, 1949 11
Herron explained that the
"near west" exposition would
have a two-fold theme.
One would emphasize the ad
vantages of living In the Paci
fic northwest, and the other
would deal with the region's In
terests In far eastern countries.
The exposition would be
Unique In that all communities
of Washington and Oregon
would participate rather than be
confined to one city as were
world fairs of the past.
Thus, visitors could journey
from the rose show in Portland
to the rodeo In Ellensburg, to a
salmon derby In Seattle, to the
apple blossom festival in Wen
atchee and countless other com
munities that would have some
colorful attraction. Big-time
sports events and national con
ventions would be sought for
the northwest for 1952.
And to stress the important to
the northwest of the far east
(henceforth known as the near
west), major northwest cities
would sponsor certain countries.
For example, Seattle would tajce
the Philippines and work with
that country to present an ar
ray of Filipino cultural, econ
omic and entertainment exhibits
during the exposition.
Herron thinks It would take
two years to lay the groundwork
for the "near west" exposition.
That means general agreement
by January, 1950.
Chambers of commerce and
boards of trade probably would
erry the ball at first and when
interest had been stimulated, a
special organization would be
set up to put over the individ
ual community's program for
the year.
Such an exposition, Hrrron
believes, would have plenty of
advantages.
Naturally, there would be the.
influx of tourists and their dol
lars, which would serve to bol
ster the region's economy all
down the line.
There also would be the indi
rect effect of serving to spur
jobs of community face-lifting,
completing highways and the
over-all improvement of many
other private and public properties.
