It was his belief that a large proportion of the visitors to the Fair would be attracted to the many features that Eastern Long Island would have to off«r, such as t ^ splen- did beaches which border the ocean, sound and bays: fishing, recreational facilities, historical points of Interest, fine highways, and the natural beauty of this section. The products of the farms and the fishing industry was also sti^ed. He traced the history of the previous World's Fairs and cited how the com- munities had benefited from them. Many of the Canadian and New Eng- land residents would utilize the ferries to the Eastern part of Long Island and that all the villages would receive a share of their patronge. Mr. Murphy also called attention,to the Interesting exhibit of Suffolk County to be a part of the Long Island exhibit In the New York State Building. Sixty-two na- tions representing ninety per cent of the population will have exhibits of their habits, customs, and achieve- ments at the World's Fair he said.
