- IT'S THE SPIRIT
- THAT
- COUNTS
ONE ASPECT of the Fair a lot of visitors may not be aware of is the number of exhibits staffed by informed and devoted volunteers. They're to be found chiefly in the pavilions of fraternal, religious and service organizations, and their spirt is most refreshing. Not only are they well trained, helpful and courteous, but many are most enthusiastic and eager to share their fervor. Three outstanding pavilions with such aids are Christian Science, Masonic and Mormon. Others using volunteers include Protestant & Orthodox Center, Vatican, Russian Orthodox-Greek Catholic, Billy Graham, Boy Scouts, Dynamic Maturity and UNICEF at Pepsi-Cola.

- NEIGHBORS
- THREE
AT THE FAIR and at home the nations of Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt (the United Arab Republic) are neighbors. Here, two are side by side and the third's around the corner; in Asia and Africa, they're at or close by the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Despite these physical proximities, fairgoers who view their pavilions may quite possibly find as many or more differences as liknesses in their ways. Which is what makes the world go round and the International Area so fascinating.

- TO EACH HIS OWN
FAIR ARCHITECTURE has always been fair game for Fair critics. Some like it uniform, such as the ersatz classical of the 1893 Chicago Fair; others, like our present Fair's Robert Moses, prefer diversity. So we have diversity! The International Area, where each pavilion reflects its characteristic architectural styling, best presents the case for diversity. three fine examples are Pakistan, Switzerland, Venezuela.
