- THE
- BIG SPLASH
WATER HAS always fascinated man, as participant or spectator, and the Fair has not overlooked the possibilities this offers. On this page three shows are represented: Oregon's timber carnival, Florida's porpoise performers, and the log flume ride. Each has delighted many a Fair visitor, especially the small fry. The birling (log-rolling) shown here is but one act of an otherwise "dry" show in which champions and near champions chop and saw logs, climb 110-foot poles and throw double-bladed axes.

The log flume ride, a cross between the shoot-the-chutes and a roller coaster, splashes to its damply thrilling climax.

- THE STANDS OF FOREIGN FLAGS gracing the court of Nations is the big attention-getter here. Each country exhibiting at the Fair is represented. Beyond is a sizable wedge of the International Area with its intriguing sights and sounds. In the center is the circular African pavilion and its needle-roofed rondevals; at right is Pakistan and behind it, a Brass Rail "marshmallow" snack bar. Seven distinctive pavilions in the background (reading clockwise from the right) are Sudan (only half of it shows); Morocco, Greece, Philippines, Lebanon, the United Arab Republic (Egypt) and Jordan.

THE SMART fairgoer keeps his eyes open and in orbit, for the sights to see are everywhere and limitless. The camera's eye is busy, too, as today's entries attest. The coolly attractive functional lines of Sweden's pavilion contrast sharply with the traditional pagoda-like palace housing the Republic of China's exhibits. This diversity of styling helps make the International Area the fascinating scene it is. But inside these eye-catchers, and other foreign pavilions, is much for U.S. visitors to see, learn - and to buy, for most have shops.

You're riding high and what do you see? N.Y. State's pavilion and tower and GM off yonder, sure, but for real kicks, peek down into such swingin' spots as Africa's back yard.

AS WE CLOSE the Scrapbook for the 1964 season, let's take a last look at the Fair - and from what better place than the thrilling Swiss Sky Ride? It's high enough (112 feet) to take in most of the sights, low enough to note details and slow enough to appreciate the view. Fotos were taken at dusk when night lights add interest to the still visible panoramas. If you've missed it this year, the Ride will be back again next April.

- FAR EAST SPLENDOR
AMONG THE MANY wonders of the Fair's International Area, those emanating from the Far East seem to have a special fascination, particularly for Westerners. Today our scrapbook brings you colorfotos snapped at three pavilions of the Orient: Hong Kong, Republic of Korea and Thailand.

WHEN WORD gets about that something's a hit attraction - whether it be in a Broadway theatre, ball park, music hall or a Fair pavilion - everybody wants to see it at the same time. The Scrapbook camera's eye had no trouble finding two Fair examples: General Motor's Futurama and International Business Machines' Information Machine. GM's updated version of the 1939-40 Fair's top attraction is a good bet to repeat. The IBM exhibt, on the other hand, is entirely new: it popularizes today's all-essential computers.
