c McCullom Lake Gerry Milbratz 385-8543 This photo shows the sky ride, U.S. pavilion, at Expo'74, World's Fair, Spokane, Wash. Hanners "Collect" Fair At Spokane Expo '74 (by Father Win 0 Manner," rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church. Episcopal, Kenilworth). About forty miles out of Spokane, in a little town of 2,(KM) population that shall remain nameless, we paused looking for a motel. 'Let us stay out so far that we won't get World's Fair prices was my idea'. We can drive in in the morning. But ^prices were 25 percent higher than in other towns we, had stopped in. It seems that' the news that there was a BIG FAIR in Spokane had leaked out in the boondocks. They were going to get their cut. I have been rooked in my time by real professionals and had no desire to be taken in by the yokels so we continued on into Spokane where we could at least be taken to the cleaners by pros. We found a nice big new motel -- four stories high - unlisted in the fair ad­ vertisements because it was so new. It was near down town. "I have one accommodation left," said the lady. It is $28. Sight unseen I grabbed it for two nights and plunked my money down. I had no desire to sleep in the park Ac­ commodations were scarce. Up we went bag in hand. I was paying about $15 above what we had been paying. I stuck the key in the door and pushed it open wondering what in the dickens I had managed to pick up. Heavenly Days and Small Puppies! A three-room fur­ nished apartment met my gaze. I felt like the man who was playing the dollar slot machine and had three lemons and the jack pot break loose on the first buck he played. We explored our jackpot. Room to sleep five; full fledged and equipped kitchen; bath with piles of towels; elegant beds; I could see where my car was parked. Out we went and bought a few groceries for dinner and two breakfasts. We left the dishes for the maid to clean up - when you get this lucky you might just as well have all . the trimmings. From our windows the evening display of fireworks at the fair was plainly visible. It was a com­ fortable and restful night By the bye -- melons grown in Washington state are deelektabul! Rose specializes in World's Fairs. She worked at the Century of Progress and has been to Spokane, New York, Montreal, Seattle and the McHenry County fair at Woodstock. The Spokane fair was small as fairs go. It was mainly about conservation, which we had all better worry about The United States pavilion was a huge tent. It told you how many old tin cans could make a fender, how many pounds of newspapers could save a tree, how old tires could be used -- in other words - learn to recycle and reuse. Save resources. There was a fountain in the exhibit made of a circle of twelve old bath tubs, twelve old janitor sinks, twelve old bathroom sinks, twelve old shower heads and twelve stainless steel pipes (all used). How much J-U-N-K we all produce! I could not figure out what the Russian exhibits were all about, they were mainly uninteresting. The Japanese had lovely Harvest Moon Dance Highly Successful More than 200 people at­ tended the highly successful Harvest Moon dance, Saturday Nov 9. The village hall, where it was held, had been tran­ sformed into a tastefully decorated, candlelit dance hall Some of the best looking men in gardens arid movies of their homeland in a theater where you sat on the floor. Other exhibitors were Australia, Korea, West Ger­ many, Philippines, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, American Indian, a travel section, General Motors and Ford, Iran, and all of the western and northwestern states. We rode on the sky ride three!!' times - that's right - three times. I get a big bang out of seeing the whole of it from the air. The fair was on two islands in the river and along each bank Some streets had been closed for the duration Other streets were carried on tunnels under the fair. A great new building, the Washington State opera house, has been constructed. The Spokane river runs through the fair area and falls considerably in the process - I have no idea how many feet, but plenty There was a midway of course. There was a ride on the river above the dams. There were people from all over, many orientals. It was fun, we got tired, Mrs. Hanner had collected another fair (she collects them like kids do stamps). And all this was to teach us mainly one big thing. Man had better take care of his en­ vironment. It is fragile. It can be used up Save, 'recycle, reuse. We had dinner and went back to our apartment. We had to get $28 worth of sleep before morning. Did you ever think -- motels sell sleep? They do, and some are sleepier than others. *40,000. 00 This is an important and impressive figure.
