Newspaper Page Textc WEDlMtSDAY, APRIL 25. 1962 A Report From the Fair international Mall uinud . By EARL H. ADAMS " Mail Tribune City Editor " Seattle - There are five ma- jor "worlds" , which occupy the grounds of the Seattle ' World's Fair here - the worlds of Century 21, commerce and . indu&lrj', entertainment and art. They are lied1 together by a colorful international flavor . on the boulevards of the world, in the center of which ' is the International fountain. , This is the shopping center . of the fair where fairgoers "may purchase anything from ' Hong Kong tailored clothes to " Yugoslavian exports. For those not in a purchas ing mood is the International mall and exhibits of interna - tional commerce and indus- try. The voice of West Berlin's Willie Brandt welcomes vis itors to the city of Berlin display, where the divided ' city is graphically illustrated complete with the famed wall and life lines. Elaborate Exhibit This is one of the more elab- - orate exhibits on the Interna tional mall, where products of " Berlin, the Philippines, Thai land, Africa, India and Ko- " rea are displayed by excel lent photographs, intricately . hand-carved miniatures and - complicated electronic equip ment designed for modern medicine and space travel. The exhibits offer a wealth of knowledge about countries in which life ranges from I about the most primitive i forms of agriculture to the most highly technical indus tries in tile world today. They represent peoples in a changing world - changing " from a world of the past to J the future without an inter . mediate step of transition. - Handicraft Arts '; The exhibits draw attention .' to an art which In America i is all but gone - the art of , handicrafts - and these peo ' pie should be admired for the .patience required for such . work in a world speeding be- yond the comprehension of 1 many of them.

The Douglas Fir Plywood associaiton of Tacoma, Wash., exhibits a Home of Living Light designed to make the Seattle's View From Top Of Space Needle Will Not Be Forgotten, Editor Says Bv EARL H. ADAMS Mail Tribune Ciif Editor Seattle - One of the most popular places al the Seattle World's fair here is the food circus. It's popular for two rea sons: 1, people have to eat, especially if they are walk ing around the grounds; and 2. neonle love a touch ol food that's different from their regular diet. From the sickening sweet aroma of pastries to the burn smell of hickory smoke sau sage from Ohio, a person can nibble on foods ranging from Mongolian grilled steak to fresh fruit from southern California. There are 55 food booths housed in the National Guard armory on the grounds, and the majority of them have something to cook and serve Pleasant Odors By themselves, the smell of cooking food is pleasant but when the nostrils are ex posed to the odor of some 50 different foods cooking at the same time in the same building -well, just imagine But despite the confused odor and intermingling aro mas, some of the finished products would satisfy the taste of the most articulate gourmet. The food circus Is popular today for a third reason-it has been raining hard for a few minutes, one of the scat tered showers prevailing in the Seattle area today. Added to that rain are gusty winds, making it generally an un comfortable day for much walking, but a beautiful one for spending more time in the exhibits. The fine arts exhibit at the fair here is the most extensive collection ever gathered in the West. It ranges from ancicnl sculpture of the Ori ent to examples of abstract expressionism. It equals any exhibit in any of the major museums In the East, and probably in Europe. The sculpture includes Ori ental, Northwest coast Indian, and the ultra-modern which, in a few cases, amounts to what the creator says is art from Junk. One piece of sculpture, made of wheels, bits of metal, and other mis cellaneous odds and ends, even has an electric motor to make it "talk," a sound similar to throwing out of a container full of broken glass and metal pieces. But, again despite a few little oddities like that, the exhibit is exceptionally good. It offers paintings ranging from Ihe old masters like Titan. Michelangelo, Cezanne, Renoir, Rembrandt and Van Dyke, to the modern impres sionists like Mark Tobey, Seattle's Internationally known artist, and Hans llof mann, Helen Frankenthalter, and Sam Francis.

It is designed for the future when population in- vator up 600 feet to the top of the tallest building west of the Mississippi river is an experience not easily forgot ten. A group of pressmen were taken up Tuesday morning before the grounds were of ficially opened to avoid wait ing in line a few hours for the journey. The restaurant wasn't open when we went up, and when we got ready to leave the observation deck, lunch was being served (it was only 10 a.m.), so we didn't get a chance to see it. But the ride to the observa tion deck is worth the dollar it costs. From ground level with only the surrounding build ings visible, one begins to see the horizon rising in the immediate distance, then a little further away, until the view is of such magnitude that one is awed by the fas cinating area which makes up Seattle. The space needle, after the fair is over, will be used as "money maker," as one person puts it. By that time all the bugs should be out of it. One bug got into the elevators Tues day morning, and the cage wouldn't move from its po sition 600 feet up. We took another one down, and left the stranded one to the peo ple working in a "space age." Initiation Held By Honor Society Phoenix Initiation for 11 members of the National Hon or society was held at the Phoenix High school, Monday, April 23. New members are Richard Coulter, Fletcher Fish, Laura Griffith, Robert liuntcr, Doro thy James, David McAlastcr, Saundra Nelson, Gail Scharfe, James Schwietert, Jan Stone, and Linda Tompkins. Initiation ceremony was conducted by Sande Bcddoe, president, assisted by four members speaking on the cardinal points of the Nation al Honor society. They were Darilyn Popow, character; Frank Thorpe, scholarship; Bonnie Faytinger, leadership; and Nancy Siebcr, service. Other members assisting were April Brunette, Chyrl Bow man, Rick Seymour, Terry Hanson, Diane Carter, Sandy Dickenson, Kay deMors, Bar bara Beer. The stage featured the blaz ing torch, the emblem of the society. Following the pledge of membership, pins were pre sented each.

Changing Picture Window The General Electric home, naturally, is electronically op erated - from a clothes con ditioner to a communications system within the home and a built-in, changing picture window on the patio. The third future home is the American home of the im mediate future, designed, pre built and erected on the site by the U. S. Plywood cor poration. The house is com pletely pre-built, utilizing steel and plywood bolted to gether to offer the home buy er a variety 9! arrangements. Of the three, the last-the home of the immediate future- is one which could become a reality within a few generations. The General Elec tric and the Douglas fir ply wood homes are at a future time. One of the most important factors in a home, however, is missing from the fir plywood home. That is warmth. The house is composed of curved coldness, and about the only thing to change the curved expanse is the extensive use of colored lights and plant arrangements. All Buttons The General Electric home is of course, all buttons. It has a big advantage for those who like quick, easy living, but again there is lost some of the warmth of the home as it is known today. Perhaps this is what the future holds, and some ap parently believe it is. Gener ations have changed and ac cepted different living pat terns from a non-industrial, non-technical nation to an in dustrial, technical one. If history repeats itself, as his torians claim then there is a reason to believe future generations will change. But at the fair, the picture of the change is interesting. It provokes thought and con sideration. It provides a sharp contrast indeed from the past, represented in an Indian vil lage of America's westward days and the ancient arts of foreign countries which are still practiced today. Proposed County Charter Is Reviewed at Roundtable "If county voters decide to turn down the home rule proposition next month," Medford Attorney Dick Court wright said Monday, "I hope it is because they have all read the charter and have hon estly and intelligently decided they don't want it. "I hope it doesn't fail be cause nobody has read it or understood it." Courtwright, addressing the Chamber of Commerce Round- table, said unfortunately the home rule charter has become a "partisan issue." ' The speaker reviewed the events which led to drafting of the charter, beginning with measures passed by the 1957 Oregon state legislature, the spirit of which intended that counties should have the same rights and powers as munici palities. Reviews Objections This in turn, Courtwright said, led to the formation of the charter committee and ultimately to the drafting of the home rule charter. T 1 . Meteorite Washington (IIPD A geolog ical survey mapping team has found a messenger from outer space on an ice cap in Ant arctica. The "messenger" is a 70 pound meteorite. It is on the way to the geological survey's geochemical laboratories here as part of a shipment of about a ton of rock samples found in Antarctica. The shipment is due in about a month. The meteorite is believed to be the first sizable, authenti cated chunk of outer space material found on the polar continent, according to the survey. A much smaller ob ject, which might have been meteoritic (weighing about two pounds), was reported SP Adds $69 Million Worth of Equipment San Francisco - Southern Pacific has announced it will acquire 3,000 new freight cars this year plus other railroad and highway rolling equip ment, costing $69 million - a 35 Der cent increase over large expenditures last year. More than half of the new cars, according to i). 0. nus- sell, SP president, will be 1, 958 wide-door and double door box cars, many with hy dra-cushion underframes and various built-in load divider and load bracing devices to give added protection to ship ments. SP's fleet of wide-door cars, used extensively by the lum ber industry, is the nation's largest. Other freight cars being re ceived are open hoppers, cov ered hopper units, gondolas, piggyback f latcars, hydra cushion flatcars and multi level racks which are used to adapt flatcars for transport of stacked rows of automobiles. In addition to the freight cars, SP will receive mail and express passenger cajs, add 64 diesel-electric locomotives to its fleet and 1,081 trucks, trac tors and trailers to its high way subsidiary operations. ISSUES ANNOUNCEMENT Washington - (IIPII - Surgeon General Luther L. Terry an nounced Tuesday the Public Health Service will no longer award research grants to profit-making organizations, and will support their research only through contracts. With his remaining time, Courtwright went over sev eral of the objections which opponents of the charter have raised and offered a rebuttal to them. The charter would not take away the right of an area to form certain water and sani tation districts if it chose, Courtwright said. However, under the charter a commis sion board would be available to assist in making the opera tion more efficient and better coordinated. Answering the objection that political competition brings out the best available candidates for a position, Courtwright said partisan feeling should have no place in county government. Appointive Offices To often, he argued, we don't really know too much as voters about the qualifica tions and ability of the people who are running for an office The charter committee felt, he said, that offices should be appointive in order to insure that the best qualified persons available for a position are hired. The speaker countered the argument that if an official does not perform well he can be turned out of office by the voters, although the people might have to wait four years to do it. Under the reorganization plan, he said, an incompetenl official could simply be dis; charged by the board of com missioners when and as they saw fit. Asked by a member of the Roundtable whether he envi sioned any increased operat ing costs as a consequence of the proposed reorganization. Courtwright replied he could foresee no reason why costs should increase to any sig nificant degree.

OREGON Found In from Cape Denison, Adelie Land, by Sir Douglas Mawson, leader of a 1911-14 Australian expedition. There is no confirming rec ord of that other find in the International meteorite cata logue although Mawson's jour nal report is backed by a de tailed chemical and micro scopic examination carried out in 1915 in the laboratory of the geological survey of Vic toria. Authenticity Undoubted There is no doubt about the authenticity of the current find, the survey said. It was made in the eastern Horlick Mountains about 350 miles from the South Pole by five men mapping the area geolog ically. When found, the mete orite was in two sections, both lying fully exposed in moraine on top of the conti nental ice cap, about 100 yards apart. Dr. Arthur B. Ford, Wash ington, leader of the mapping team, said the pieces obvious ly had been a single mass as the meteorite entered the earth's atmosphere. "Fracture probably took place upon impact with near by rock outcrops," Ford con cluded. One portion of the meteor ite weighs about 50 pounds and the other about 20. When reassembled, it was about 10 inches in diameter. The Antarctic meteorite is of special interest to scientists because it is a less common type-a "sidcrolile," part iron and part stone, containing large proportions of both nickel-iron and a silicate. Analysis To Be Made Initial inspection indicates the silicate to be olivine, an iron-magnesium mineral. A detailed chemical and micro scopic analysis will be made in the survey's laboratories. The olivine is believed to be a magncsian variety because of the high temperature of crystallization this mineral re quires. Meteorites are composed of the same chemical elements as rocks on earth, but they are distinguishable from terres trial material by their high savmasHnraemBneiini i h ? i1 Js FN 'Jf '&7i- ,f, rtV i - Sv'-lt'v r.

Flow Relatively Slow The regional ice flow has been determined to be less than 16 feet per year, relative ly slow, northeast toward the Weddell Sea. The ice cap in the area, he said, is nourished at a rate of 1.5 feet of snow per year and the average an nual temperature is 35 de grees below zero.
