- COOKING WITH GAS
YOU JUST can't miss the spectacularly different look of the Festival of Gas pavilion. It houses a host of attractions keyed, naturally, to the uses of gas - past, present and future. Among these are the new big top carousel with three-dimensional exhibits; garden of gas appliances; gaslight patio; house of energy. Back are the restaurant, theatre of food, and gas energy center.

- THE STRIKING THING about today's Scrapbook foto is the contrast between the Old-World Belgian Village and the web of up-to-the-minute superhighways bordering the fairgrounds. The village appears to have been picked up in Belgium and set down here intact - which is close to the truth. Inside is a glittering array of shops, artisans at work, exhibits, amusements and food-and-drink spots - including several large restaurants. And there's even one outside the walls (foreground).

A flock of pretty pink, though raucous-voiced, flamingos lends authenticity to Florida's palm-shaded Everglades exhibit. A few alligators are also included in the exhibit, but - obviously - they are kept in a separate pen, well away from the birds.

FLORIDA, the Sunshine State, always its own best booster, has expanded its activities at the Fair this year. This has not only promoted the state's own virtues, but has also helped perk up the whole Lake Amusement Area. Sparking the upswing is the new free Florida Citrus Water Ski Show. Also on the house are the porpoise show (especially great for kids), "Pieces of Eight" (treasure ship booty); Everglades exhibit (with alligators and flamingos), art show and information from cities and counties for vacationists and prospective residents. In line with this there's a model retirement house. And, of course, you can buy lots of orange juice!

- TRANSPLANTING
- THE ORIENT
LOOK AT TODAY'S Scrapbook entries, and you could be pardoned for thinking we had put our cameramen on the Orient Express with orders to bring the countries back alive! But all they did was to hop the subway to the Fair, and in no time at all their mission to Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand was accomplished. China, India, Korea, Malaysia and Philippines are out there too.

- INVITING INTERIORS
-
NO MATTER WHERE you go at the Fair, the welcome mat is out, and most exhibitors try hard to make it attractive. Once inside a pavilion, you more often than not find its displays and wares equally inviting. The Republic of China, for one, not only has the usual progress and culture bit, but a brand new restaurant and a new top-floor lounge affording sweeping Fair views. The Underground Home, for another, is a revelation of the luxurious possibilities of what most people view as emergency existence.

Two young ladies from Taiwan marvel at huge carved wood screen that guests see upon entering the China pavilion. Titled "100 Birds Pay Tribute to Queen Phoenix," it symbolizes visitors from all parts of the world coming here to see the Fair.
