A Report From the Fair
international Mall

" 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

i is all but gone - the art of

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.

most efficient use of every
square foot of floor space, but
it is composed of circular
rooms, interwoven to provide
privacy for all members of
the family with a view of the
outdoors shielded from neigh
bors. 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

The stage featured the blaz
ing torch, the emblem of the
society.
Following the pledge of
membership, pins were pre
sented each. Closing the pro
gram was a solo, "April

creases to a point where hous
ing, and especially individual
homes, may present a prob
lem. 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.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. 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
