clears up snow and interference,
& increases reception distance. I
The Winegard Powertron is a new I
electronic antenna invention that
will make a big improvement in 2
your TV reception. This antenna a
is completely new in concept ... in a
electrical design ... in results. For
instance, for long distance recep- 3
tion, the new Powertron will pull S
in TV pictures that are hardly vis-
ible with an ordinary antenna. a
There are two reasons for this un- jjj
usual performance: The Power- Is
tron has a patented Electro-Lens is
director system that intercepts and a
focuses TV signals on the collector I "
element. Here the signal is greatly 3
strengthened by a built-in high
-frequency transistor before it is de- 3
livered to your set. The effect on
your reception is this: In most
cases, you can enjoy more chan- a
nels. Pictures that were poor to
fair become sharer . . . brighter.
Snow and most types of interfcr- a
ence are reduced or eliminated en- a
tirely. An excellent antenna for
color reception as well as black a
and white, on all channels 2-13. a
Besides being electronically supe- a
, rior, the Powertron is mechanically S
strong and will deliver its fine per-
formance for many years. It has a 1
lustrous gold anodized finish that i
, will never corrode or turn dull, a
You can't own a finer TV antenna! I
If you and your family want better a

Paris, 1889
America is off to the fair again this
l year for the first time since San
Francisco and New York held exposi
tions 23 years ago. This time fair-goers
head for Seattle and its Century 21 Ex
position which opens April 21.
The Seattle fair, of course, will be all new
except for one thing. The wdrld's-fair tradition
of entertainment and enlightenment will be the
same. Look back at world's fairs of the past, and
you'll see just what trail blazers they were in
setting standards for better living.
The London exposition of 1851 is generally
considered the first world's fair. It was held in
a "Crystal Palace," a vast building resembling
a greenhouse, which skeptics said would shatter
in the first storm. But it weathered the worst
weather and pioneered a type of glass and steel
architecture that typifies our finest cities today.
World's-fair architecture always has been
striking but not always popular. The Eiffel
Tower, built for the Paris Exposition Univer
selle in 1889, was considered a "wasteful eccen
tricity," and even today some aesthetes refer
to it only as "that awful Eiffel tower." To mil
lions of others, however, this is one of the most
beloved landmarks in the world.
Seattle hopes its look into the future of
architecture will stand the tests of both
time and taste. In one pavilion, Coliseum Cen
tury 21, you will see a whole new concept of
metropolitan design in which city dwellers will

enjoy spaciousness, light and no traffic con
gestion. Instead of a massive steel tower like
Eiffel's, Seattle will feature a 600-foot Space
Needle, a delicate, soaring structure with a
revolving restaurant on top.
Inventions, too, are an honored part of world's
fairs. I suppose the most famous case occurred
at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of
1876 where Alexander Graham Bell showed his
telephone, patented only three months before.
He was ignored until the Emperor of Brazil
experimented with the "gadget" and exclaimed :
"My God, it talks!" Bell and his invention be
came overnight sensations.
The United States established itself as the
technological pathfinder of the world at the
Paris fair of 1878 with exhibitions of the auto
mobile, mechanical icebox, electrical lighting,
and Edison's phonograph, which entranced
thousands of listeners by squeaking away on
"Mary had a little lamb . . ."
I wouldn't want to predict what great prod
ucts of tomorrow will debut at Seattle, but I'm
sure there will be many. At the U. S. Govern

As FOR the FUN SIDE of fair-going, Seattle
i. knows it will have to go some to top its pred
ecessors. In 1893, for example, the Chicago Colum
bian Exposition presented the first Ferris wheel,
a giant one carrying 2,100 persons a trip. Eleven
years later, the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase
Exposition added something else to American
culture the hot dog on a bun.
Entertainment values have shifted from' fair
to fair. The big attraction at the Chicago '93
show was Little Egypt with her novel hootchy
kootchy dance. Yet in St.' Louis in 1904, belly
dancing came to a standstill, and everybody

flocked to see Jim Key, The World's Most Edu
cated Horse.
A Jim Key today probably couldn't draw flies,
so Seattle has turned to the handsome Royal
Canadian Mounted Police and their horses for
some breathtaking close-order drill. And while
there will be no belly dancers, you will see
beautiful and skilled performers in a spectacu
lar aquatic show. Culture, of course, will over
ride everything else with dramas, concerts, and
art shows. Some of the big-name performers will
be Igor Stravinsky, Van Cliburn, Benny Good
man, Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, the Royal
Danish Ballet, Mexican Folklorica, George
Burns, Carol Channing, Robert Frost, and Carl
Sandburg.
Yes, Seattle will have to go some to top such
wonders as hot dogs and telephones, Ferris
wheels and the Eiffel Tower but the American
Northwest is a region with a pioneering spirit
of its own, so you can be quite sure that 20 or
30 years from now, when some other fair is
exciting the nation, people will look back and
say: "Now Seattle in '62 that was a fair!"
