10 A POTPOURRI "People are standing in line to see the wrons things at this fair." Potpourri was talking to a young man who has worked for the Seattle World's Fair committee for a lnng time. We'd been up since early morning, we'd waited 35 minutes for a bus which failed to show on lime, we'd ridden a long time, walked what seemed like miles, been in and out of dozens of buildings and exhibits, looked up and down, in and out, heard speakers, watched films, experi mental monkeys and pigeons but we had not stood in line. We had been told that the shortest lines at the Space Needle were early morning and about 6 p.m. About 6:30 p.m. we went over to be confronted with these figures on an electric sign "Approximate waiting time for dining room, 2 hours and 40 minutes; for observation platform, 2 hours and 10 minutes." We made up our mind in the beginning that since we would have only 8 or 10 hours to see the fair, we wouldn't stand in line and wait. We went through some of the science exhibits, spent two wonderful hours at the art exhibit, visited the Oregon building and saw a number of foreign displays. We didn't see some of the company exhibits, and we didn't go up in the Space Needle, etc. And we aren't one bit sorry. We still think we saw the most important and interesting parts of the fair. At the end of the day when almost ready to leave for the monorail station, we came upon the young man men tioned above. We talked, and he ventured the opinion about the "wrong things." When we told him we had not bothered to go up in the Space Needle, he grinned and said "You should hear my father. He tells everyone 'You can see the same sights from the top of Queen Anne Hill any time you want to for nothing.' " The young man was sorry that we had not had more time for the Science pavilion, and we were too, but we had already spent amost two hours on that part of the fair. The pavilion is extremely beautiful with the building erected around a lagoon with fountains, stairways, terraces, sculpture and masses of blooming flowers in over-sized bowl-shaped containers. Over all, and reaching to the sky, are the grace ful super-structures we don't know what they are called -symbolic of the Space Age theme of the fair. We sincerely hope that the Science pavilion is not torn down Seattle or the University of Washington surely can find a useful purpose for the building. This reporter always goes armed with pen and paper, and wandering around the Science pavilion we came upon some quotations which are worth remembering. One wall bears this inscription: "We shall not cease from exploration and -the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know (hat place for the first time." This is from T. S, Eliot's "Four Quartets" A truly lovely mosaic made of small polished rock by .lean Johanson bore some quotations from a speech which the Indian Chief Seattle made more than a century ago to Governor Stevens of Washington. The Indian said. "Men come and go like waves of the sea," and added that some day the while man and the red man would understand one another. Much of the sculpture around the grounds is fine. We were especially impressed with the group of wood pole sculpture by Francois Stanly Mendon of France entitled "Le Mur Labyrinth." Many massive works are to he found near the Fine Arts building, etc. When the weary fairgoers ran walk no longer, they sit down on the corners and edges of the bases and lean against the wood and stone. When Potpourri, almost ready to faint, sat down on one in the art show, a guard bustled over and courteously said we'd have to move. When we arose, he looked longingly at the spot and said "I'd like to sit there myself." Every room of j the art show has an armed and uniformed guard who never takes his eyes from the crowds. Some of the paintings arc: priceless, and nothing must happen to them. I The most interesting conversation heard all day was in the Fine Arts building. More of that later. Orcgonians should all be pleased with the slalc pavilion nl, the fair. It is artistic and well executed and the com ments we heard were all complimentary. The exterior of wood is pleasing and the interior with its plantings of ferns and evergreens and little waterfalls and pool gives an air of coolness, peace and calmness, a most welcome relief from the noise and ennfustion outside. The hostess on duty al that time, Sharon Ridderbush of Salem, is attractive and courteous. ' We plan to ask Robert Dosworlh. who designed the building, if the use of waler at the fairgrounds was part of a master plan. It must have been. The main fountain, with water cascading high in the air, is a pleasure to watch in the daytime and al night Ut a thing of beauty witli the play of color from the bottom of the bowl, which is filled with white rocks. Thursday night hundreds of fairgoers sat or stood around the edge, watching the waler shoot and fall and if they were lucky enough to be on the right side, enjoying the cool spray. The use of water around the Science pavilion adds greatly to the beauty and effectiveness of that area, and the large waterfall which is a part of the history of elc tricity exhibit is also interesting and attractive. Added to all this is the pleasure which thousands have from watching the ski show and water ballet. Thursday it was a hot, humid BO degrees in Seattle and the fair would have been much less attractive to Ihe more than 50,00(1 who attended if it had not been for water on all sides. Indeed, by lale af(ernoon many persons were seeking relief by bathing their feet and hands in the various pools and lagoons. They just removed their shoes and hose and dangled their feet in the water. I doubt if the fair ronmiiltee had anticipated this "What did we come here for" a woman demanded of the man al her sidr, in an angry voice. "You won't take me up In Ihe Space Needle, or for a Sky Ride What did we come for?" Thai's a good question. Why DO people ntlrnd a world fair? O S.

JULY 30. 1962 Skirts Capris tps Lingerie Foundations Stretch Pants Dresses Chess Play Held Sunday iln Ashland Ashland - George Koltan '. owski, international chess ! master and chess columnist for The San Francisco Chron- icle, met 23 Rogue Valley ; chess players in simultaneaus I play at The Bard's Brook Cof ! fee Hoi se in Ashlind Sunday afternoon and defeated 22 of them. E. W. Slater. Gold Hill, played a draw game with the chess maslc For outstanding play by his simultaneous opponents. Mr. Koltanowski awarded three chess books of his own authorship "The Colic' Svs tem." Books were presented to Jim Kelly, Medford, Mr. Slater, and Mrc. Waller Speare, Medford. Following Ihe simultaneous play, Mr. Koltanowski deliv ered a talk on chess and chess masters and answered ques tions concerning the game. He staled that the title of in ternational chess master is difficult to earn, but once at tained is a lifetime title as opposed to national master which may be lost through defeat. When asked about his own world records in blind fold chess, he cited the ad vantage of a good memory and demonstrated by review ing one of the 23 games he had just completed and ad vising his opponent that, "Your third move was the turning point, and my reply was not what you expected." Mr. Koltanowski demon strated his specially, blind fold chess, by engaging Mr. Slater and, with his back to tiie board throughout the game, defeating him. Craig Savage was teller for (he blindfold game and r arie the moves which Mr. Koltanow ski called out. Participating in the simul taneous play were Jim Kelly, Mr. and Mrs. Tracy Bearden, Arthur Everett, Lcroy Crit len, Kenneth Fontaine, John Chitwoori.

Thurstons Attend Ballet Program Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thurs ton were recently in San Francisco to attend a per formance of "Midsummer Night's Dream" presented by the New York City Ballet company. They considered the presentation an excellent one. Conrad Ludlow, a dancer whom they have known for some lime who was formerly with the San Francisco Bal let company, danced the male lead role on the night the Thurstons attended. The Medford couple spent a week in the Bay City to take part in lectures and classes sponsored by the San Francisco Ballet company un der a grant from the Ford Foundation. The program was part of a nationwide of- fort to expand interest in the ballet as part of the Amer- ican culture.

Some of it is earmarked for clothing and other needs such as blank ets, linens, soap and school supplies; some goes to the child in cash. Mrs. Brewster shops con stantly and has one advantage on her budgeting the average homemaker does not have. She buys wholesale -- "often below," she said in an inter view. "We usually buy off season, and the manufacturer is happy to give us a break because it keeps his produc tion line going year round."

Like many youngsters, his three ages 4, 7 and 9 pre fer hot dogs and hamburgers lo swectoreads en brochette, said Stout, top prize winner in the 1962 cookout champion ship. Stout, 34, an Arvada, Colo., salesman, said he developed the recipe orginally for his oven broiler use and adapted it to outdoor grilling. His recipe was one of the simplest erf the 25 finalists in the an nual Kaiser foil contest for men only. Second Recipe A second recipe he submit ted didn't make it to the finals but is more t children's tastes. It is a special burger combining ground beef with ground ham, pinapple and nuts. A campfire cooking fan, he described another, family favorite as ground beef or steak cooked in foil with on ions and potatoes. The foil serves both as cooking utensil inhumanity to man and woman. In the name of getting from here lo there, sprinters, tongue - waggers, and inde cisive types mix w'th curb stone politicians to discom bobulale foot movement and dismay one another's psyches. Not only are there standing-still foot soldier traffic jams but sometimes there are accidental pushovers - col lisions, fore and aft. The Joes and Janes jogging from one end of a block lo another do a rush, stop, start, push, shove, ballet. Block Path The slow pokes, stop n' talk and indecisive pedes trians block the rusher's path - to name one upsetting cir cumstance. But the rusher in terrupts the others, too. The ideal pedestrian traffic plan, considering needs of common types of foot soldiers, ought to include: -Safety islands in the mid dle of each block. Here, old j ,riend!1 could s(and and'taik without short - circuiting nerves of other pedestrians. Such an island also would spare the chatter's the indig nity of being bumped and shoved. - Broad curbs on the safety islands must, be reserved for curbstone politicians. Let them park a foot on these, balance themselves and harp about what's wrong at town hall - without snarling the flow of foot traffic. Slow Lane - Lanes on the sidewalks ought lo include a slow lane for those who can't rush or i , . . it.f iln t ! " ! uiuse wiiu inusL nun, puis d lane for shifters - pedestrians who must stop every so often to shift the weight of their bundles. -A revolving disc in the pavement in front of every entrance to a store or otfice building would keep things moving, too. To speed enforcement of the ideal pedestrian traffic system, the town fathers ought to enact a ticketing system. Eligible Eligible for ticket?: Pedestrians who' block doorways; sprinters who dash along in the slow lane; slow pokes who pad along in the fast lane; and empty-hrvaded ones who take up space in the lane rcservM tor shifters. -The rapid tongued ones who exceed the limit set for i talking and resting time on the sidewalk safety islands I When they advance to this ; notch in know-how. the plan- j ners of pedestrian traffic might then consider advane-1 ing courtesy further by in stalling a turn-signal system for foot soldiers. j Think of the rolhsions-er, j bumps this would eliminate Gas . . .
