A Report From the Fair Importance of Space in Tomorrow's World Is Stressed at Seattle's Fair BY EARL H. ADAMS Mail Tribune City Editor Seattle In the world of to. morrow, space will play an important part, and the exhibits sponsored by the United States at the Seattle World s fair stress the work already done in space, and some of what will come. In an impressive $10 mil lion structure, the United States Science pavilion, there are films, exhibits, models and explanations which keep the visitor interested in science and its very beginning- to sometime in the future. There are six major sec tions in the expansive, white pavilion, dominated by the five open arches towering above lighted fountains, pools and trees. House of Science In the house of science, visitors relax on a carpeted floor to view a film reviewing the history of science in a somewhat unique fashion. Six cameras are utilized. It starts with one camera projecting the very beginning of philosophy, and more pro jections are added as the world of science grows until all six are used. The cameras are synchronized so when the need arises all six project different sections of one pic ture and the erid result is a large detailed view of the subject. However, for the most part, the effect of six different pic tures are utilized, providing a system of film presentation which demands close atten tion and is most effective in getting the desired point across. Excellent Photography The photography itself is excellent, some of it in color, some black and white, and in some cases a combination of both projected at the same time. This then sets the pace for the exhibit of various scienti fic subjects depicting the development of science lead ing to the spacearium as a climax before leaving the wing of the building. The spacearium itself is somewhat amazing. The top of the space vehicle appears in a 360 degree overhead pro jected from a film. After the "blast off," the head of the vehicle slides to one side and out of the picture, giving a clear view of a "60 thousand billion billion mile ride into outer space." Planets in the galaxy in which the earth is located are passed, and the imaginary 10 minute excursion takes the "space traveler" into outer galaxies, and uack, again passing the planets known from earth. In other areas of the Science pavilion are exhibits showing current scientific SECTION D PAGES 1 to 8 Medford Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1962 'Impressive' Sight-View At Night From the Top of The Fair's Space Needle By EARL H. ADAMS Mail Tribune City Editor Seattle - The pulse of the Seattle World's fair is in the eye of the neeedle. Long after the fair is over ix months from now, the eye of the needle will attract visi tors from i throughout the country. And if you are in Seattle, either during the fair or any time thereafter, a 53-second trip to the eye whei. the lights of Seattle and environs are aglow will be a sight long re membered. ' -. Nothing has been so im pressive at the fair as the long "Cocktail hour" Tuesday night when we watched a Blowing Seattle beneath us slowly pass by and into sleep. Howard Rickman, Medford, and Les Weiss, Portland, with whom we enjoyed the pano ramic magnificence, said they were fortunate. .Th"y had to attend a Northwest Bell Tele phone school Wednesday, and didn't have to attempt to ex press in words the "out of this world" feeling experienced in the revolving eye. Seattle at Night Graphically, S e a t til e at night from the eye is some thirg like this: Long bluish -white lights mark the hundreds of thor oughfares, stretching for miles along the waterfronts, extending into the heart of the city, and over the rolling hills into the residential areas. Ferry boats slowly skim their way across the black soi nd, like worm: with r hun dred lighted eyes- on their side. Vehicles, with headlights the size of pin points play follow-the-leader through wide boulevards; stopping now and then, and starting again to see if the little game continues. Flashing Lights Flashing multi-colored lights indicate hotels, busi nesses, the time and tempera ture, and serve as 'leacons for a city squirming under the strains of another day. About midnight from bright lights in the distance at Boe ing's plant come thousands of headlights, streaming into downtown Seattle along the wide bluish-ill Jminated wa terfront expressway, hre a procession of bcady-eyed ants. And as the eye of the nee dle revolves, fewer lights are visible from a city going to sleep, a city "sting from its bustling day, preparing for another. . But there is more to it man the panoramic beauty of mil lions of lights: here is more to it than just relaxing and Idling the world pass ' 'Out of Thi World' perhaps it is combination nf these, along with the indi vidual's awareness of being awav from the busy, rapid- paced city looking down upon it from ' oui ui - k. thine we ...uih ran come near Empire State building in New York City, but that lacks something the eye of the nee dle has. From the eye you have a feeling of spaciousness attain ed through large . viewing windows, a feeling which is not apparent from behind the iron bars and high fences en closing the observation deck of the Empire State building. No trip to the Pacific Northwest should re made without visiting the eye of the needle, the pulse of the Seat tle World's fair now, and the pulse of Seattle of the future progress and research, and in another the implications of the findings of science are brought together. One section of the pavilion is devoted to young people (obviously from age 6 to 106) where they can conduct simple experiments by them selves. The National Aeronautics and Space administration ex hibit is housed in a separate building adjacent to the U.S. Science pavilion. It contains, in elaborate displays of models, the United States' space program devoted to peace. In a darkened room, satellite- models are suspended from the ceiling, with soft lights illuminating the alumi num or other reflector-type exterior of the satellite. Power Units Power units which push the satellites into orbit are dis played, including a cluster of engines in the Saturn. Track ing means are explained, and illustrated, and orbits which have been achieved are graphically illustrated col- French Government Decorates Professor Eugene - Dr. Carl L.

Before leaving the exhibit, the visitors sees how John H. Glenn appeared in the Friendship 7 capsule, and a suit similar to those worn by the three astronauts. Between the NASA and U.S. Science pavilion, the world of space becomes as familiar as the world around anyone's home. It becomes familiar through attractive displays which is drawing the interest of visitors from throughout the country. Johns-Manville To Close KF Factory Klamath Falls - Ed Luczy- cki, Johns Manville plant manager in Klamath Falls, announced Wednesday that effective May 4 manufactur ing operations at the Johns Manville insulating board plant north of Klamath Falls will be discontinued. The multi - million dollar plant, which was opened in August, 1958, has never op erated at capacity level. Changing West Coast market conditions forced this de cision, Luczycki said. Recently established West Coast distribution centers will continue to service Johns Manville insulating board to jobbers, dealers and roofers. Warehousing and distributing operations at Klamath Falls will be discontinued - about June 1. pHot Cakes?! try hot MAPLEINE SYRUP Interesting flavor idea that makes better-than-bottled syrup at much less cost.
