Starting at the north end of the fairgrounds, Is the north special events stage, where free programs are to be seen merely by walking In and sitting down. The programs change almost every day and they feature singing, folk dancing, band music, chorus singing and other forms of entertainment. Then, down the midway a short distance is the Westinghou^e Theatre of the Atom," which starts its spectacular exposition of atomic energy replete with examples of neutrons, protons and simulated chain reaction. This theatre holds <550 popple and performances are held on the hour nine times each day. Continuing south, the next free exhibit is that of the Bell Telephone company, where long distance calls are won by visitors every hour.

Ha nationally pap«ls?Blsie the Cow, Elmer and offspring, Beadregard. Folks or all ages find thiB highly enjoyable. , Dixieland, the reconstructed village representing a small town of the old South, is good for laughs, as well as nostalgia for those who have an interest in a pre-Clvll War atmosphere. Two other special events stages at the fair, located In the center and south sections, have programs going on nearly all day long. They, too, are to be enjoyed without cost. Regardless of the day, there Is always some special type of diversion because most of the time some city or organization is being officially honored.

Phone 583-J-l Commtrolal Cotton •ft#*' " On Etkliplan Highlands In the Ethiopian highlands are millions of acres of potential cotton ltnd the government would like to see producing cotton for the growing requirements of the country and for the dollar-short European market, according to a national ootton council report. While large areas of suitable land seem .to be available, the lack of effective promotion, the report said, is "the most obvious limitation." It does not now appear the expansion of cotton growing in this area of Africa will be very large in the foreseeable future. In Ethiopia, Eritrea and Italian Somallland commercial cotton production reached a peak of about 17,000 bales in 1940. In this period, about 11,000 bales were produced In Italian Somallland, 9000 In Ethiopia and about the same amount in Eritrea, mostly on plantation concessions. Only a few thousand bale* sre now produced in these African countries, the report stated. The Woodstock city opuncll has authorised fall steam ahead for its 1350,000 sewer and -water program, and there is every indication that the work on a portion of it would begin this fall. Wight! y Confnso* TWO YOUNG MEN toad vited out to dinner by their employer. During the course of the meal the conversation drifted into channels which got the young friends into rather deep water for them. "Do you care for Omar Khayyam?" asked their host, at one point during the dinner, to discover the literary 'tastes of the young men. "Pretty well," the one addressed replied, "but, personally, I prefer Chianti." The subject was abandoned, hut on the way home the other said to his chum: , "Why don't you simply say you don't know when you're asked something you don't understand? Omar Khayyam isn't a wine, you Idiot. It's a kind of cheese."
