- OF THE ORIENT
MUCH OF THE fun of an international fair is to be found in its variety of exotic food and native entertainment, and the Flushing Meadow exposition is outstanding in this respect. Today the scrapbook's camera focuses on Indonesia, Japan and Malaysia, where uncommon offerings are a source of keen delight to many a diner.

- 'TWAS A NICE BRIGHT DAY at the Fair, so our sun-worshipping lensmen found a lofty perch and started shooting film. Here's what they came up with in the Industrial Area (from top left): Bettter Living Center, Pepsi-Cola's Walt Disney fantasy, Eastman Kodak's world's largest outdoor foto colorpirnts and, edging into the International Area, American-Israel's wood-paneled pavilion and a Swiss Sky Ride Terminus. And don't forget the Brass Rail "marshmallows."

Reflections from the wet pavement add to the brilliant glow of the Vatican pavilion at night. In addition to the famed "Pieta," visitors may view other priceless religious treasures.

- NIGHT

TODAY'S scrapbook page is one of contrasts: night and day pictures (obviously); tradition and experimentation; the setting for an historic church displaying centuries-old statuary and a building where visitors may witness a "moon flight." The differences are striking, but the Vatican and the Transportation and Travel pavilions have one thing in common: color. Michelangelo's "Pieta" is the super-attraction at the former, while jet and space travel, U.S. Navy at work and undersea drama all vie for attention at T&T.

INASMUCH as the total cost of the Fair and its fringe benefits comes to an estimated billion dollars, gold is a significant color at Flushing Meadow. The National Cash Regsiter Co. is a natural for gold, but actually its exhibit centers about "Man and His Records," which dramatizes the science of recording, analyzing and storing information. Austria's modernistic mountain lodge, suspended above ground from three A-shaped supports, is complemented by a lofty abstract sculpture made of stainless steel. In foreground is a light pole.

Austria's gold is much more modest: it is in the tone of the wood used for the A superstructures and the building trim.

- HAVENS FOR THE SPIRIT
WHETHER THE FAIRGOER desires to see his own faith's exhibit, understand another denomination's viewpoint, seek a spiritual anchor or just find a comfortable place in which to meditate, the big exposition can oblige. Three such havens are the Billy Graham and Christian Science pavilions and the Garden of Meditation. Attendance at the pavilions has been most gratifying.

STANDOUTS as uniquely designed pavilions are Johnson's Wax in the Industrial Area and the moat-surrounded Republic of the Philippines in the International. Both invite the eye to come in and see their attractions.
Johnson's 500-seat theatre offers a fine documentary movie on brotherhood, free shoeshines, a children's area and a home care information center. Filipino folklore, history and life are highlighted by programs of traditional dances. An aquarium and sea shell display are in Islands' exhibit.
