PAGE TWO T H E WATCHMAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1939 ^ Taking it for granted that some of my readers have npt been to the World’s Fair, the personal ex perience of your correspondent may prove of interest to those who have yet to see one of the largest spectacles ever produced. Witnessing many large outdoor productions was little preparation for the gigantic proportions of the exhibition on Flushing Meadows, and our first day there having been on Sunday before Labor Day and a record crowd (438,000) at 5 o’clock and people pouring in as we left), we saw so little of the more interesting features. We made the mistake of walking from the entrance at the South Gate through the Amusement Area and encountered all the bally-hoo of that section. We should have taken one of the sight-seeing trips to get a general view of the fair. To those who have not attended, and if your time is limited, may I suggest that you get this out line of the grounds. It is worth while to see at least the exterior of the buildings, and the grounds, which are most interesting when one realizes the site was meadow land three years ago. One of our first observations was the cleanliness of the exhibi tion. There seemed to be no dirt or refuse about which might be expected with such crowds mill ing in and out of the different displays. We were informed later by one of the attendants that the grounds are given a veritable “bath” every night after the gates are closed. •. •• We were favoi*ed to be guests in September of a cousin, Mrs. Edward Dalzell, of Douglaston, who had been to the fair sixteen times and thoroughly enjoyed piloting those not familiar with itr This was a great advantage as she could find her way around easily and knew the best ways of seeing the exhibits which were of particular interest to us. The Perisphere is a marvel, with the rise to such a height by mov ing stairways, then the gradual descent down which we walked as we left the building to find ourselves back on terra firma, after a leisurely walk on the slightest incline, and, while we were at the top, viewing the grounds from that great height —a most beautiful sight especially at night. The vegetation that has been transplanted to what was but a meadow so short a time ago, is one of the wonders of the fair. To see the size of some of the trees, and the amount of growing things that are so healthy (much of it out of its native soil and climate) is indeed marvelous. The broidenfes adorn the latter, and beautiful colors run riot in kid and suede models. Styles are in plaster, a unique way of portray ing to milady what she will be expected to wear. These were a disappointment, as we would have preferred to see the texture of materials. The fur display is gor geous, and cannot be substituted, but they are draped on plaster models. The Lagoon of Nations water display with superb lighting ef fects and fireworks is indeed beautiful. Viewed from the space for parking chairs, it was a most thrilling sight. One feature that is outstanding about the whole exhibition is the courtesy given by all attendants. They are ready and willing to give any information of which one may be in need and are most en tertaining if given a little encour agement to talk. We were tqld they were college boys, which accounts for their ability to cope with any situation and be so in teresting to their paitrons. We gathered a lot of points about the fair from these chair boys and bus attendants, and every one of them was ready with a smile. The exhibition has an atmos phere of friendliness that we found so enjoyable. The people attending seem''to be willing to be jostled and ho hard feelings even when bunched into tiny spaces at some of the attractions that are difficult to approach. The Hot Mikado show is truly a fun provoker. Bill Robinson is a most unique performer, in that every move speaks eloquently, and the Jitterbugs execute some very fast steps in their routine. Thq Aquacade performance was an instance where it required all kinds of patience to gain entrance, and we waited through two shows to make it, but it was worth all the time it took. Such symmetry and grace of movement, with every stroke synchronized with music, it seems marvelous that swimmers are able to time their speed so accurately as to form the different symmetrical, figures in the pool. Another entertaining exhibit is the Fleischmann Yeast and Royal Gelatin Marionette show. I have played for many clever puppet shows, but this by far excels them, with its unique partrayals of the Rudy Vallee hour, unique dances, songs and acrobatic acts. We felt well repaid for our three days spent at the fair, and if my description of the exhibits we visited will add to the enjoy ment of any of my readers, I shall be glad I described them in my column. Take advantage of the opportunity to see this ex- NEW SUFFOLK MRS. E.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman King of Southold, have m6ved into the house owned by Fred Grathwohl and recently vacated by Mr. Ma- chen. Mr. and Mrs. John McMahon have moved to their new resi dence, which they recently pur chased from John Binns, and Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Jacobs have moved from the Smith house to the house owned by Howard Tuthill, which the McMahons have just moved from. An amphibian plane was forced down because of a faulty gas line just off New Suffolk on Monday afternoon, and rested on the beach here over night while repairs were being made. STATE OFFICERS TO VISIT SUFFOLK COUNTY Department Commander George A. Mead is to visit the Legion naires of Suffolk County on Oct. 14, when he will install the new ly elected officers at the Patch- ogue High School. ' According to the plans of the installation committee, the public will be invited to the county in stallation as no admission is being charged to the installation cere monies. The final plans are expected to be announced at the meeting of the County Legion organization at Sayville on Friday night, Oct. 6. M A T T I T U C K PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH P. E.

LEGAL NOTICE Florida exhibit is unique in this hibition so near us, as it is per- respect and one can only conjec- haps the chance of a lifetime to ture as to the amount of care witness such a spectacle, those responsible for its removal >!• * must have exercised to success fully bring tropical trees and plants to the North. If you visit the Florida building and fail to partake of their orange sherbet you will have missed a great treat. Milk, honey and orange juice are blended and frozen into a most delicious and cooling ice, and to get to the counter takes much time and patience, the demand is so great. When one at last suc ceeds in being served, it is quite a feat to get to your companions with your precarious burden, as it would be so easy to bump into someone and spill it. However we failed to see any such cat astrophe. The electrified farm is one of the most interesting exhibits, with many farm industries being car ried on in and about the build ings. The food, in process of mak ing, is most tempting: gardens are most attractive: and fruit trees were in bloom—a source of espe cial interest since September is not the time to expect to see them in blossom. At the French building the most unusual display is the glove ex hibit. In all colors and for all occasions, they vary from sport to the most elaborate evening gloves.

The family live next door to a Catholic church, and as her mother was busy about the house on Sun,day morning the little miss meandered out of the back yard and into the front door of the church. As mass was being cele brated and the congregation in tent upon devotions, this tiny tot of two and a half years made her way down the aisle to the altar. No one attempted to stop her and when she came into view of the resident priest, he quietly guided her to the rear of the church and took her home, where she had just been missed. The incident might have been disturbing, had she made any outcry in her strange surroundings, but this was avoided by the fact that the priest is well acquainted with the little girl and very fond of her.

The Golden Text is: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget\ not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases”. Among the citations which com prise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my dis ciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. . . . Verily, verily, I say unto you. If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death”. The Lesson-Sermon also in cludes the following selection from the textbook of Christian Science, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Jesus said, (John viii. 51)» ‘If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.’ That state ment is not confined to spiritual life, but includes all the phenom ena of existence. Jesus demon strated this, healing the dying and raising the dead. Mortal mind must part with error, must put off itself with its deeds, and im- jaiortal manhood, the Christ ideal, will appear. Faith should enlarge its borders and strengthen its base by resting upon Spirit instead of matter. When man gives up his belief in death, he will advance more rapidly towards God, Life, and Love.” Safe Deposit Boxes For Rent $3 - $4 ■ $5 - $< - $ 8 - $10 per Year Suffolk County National Bank RIVERHEAD, N.
