THE MICHIGAN DAILY New York And San Francisco Fairs To Draw 100,000,000 Gala Exposition Features World Of Tomorrow Reduced Fares And Better Hotel Accommodations Offered To Travelers By N. BARNEY SCHORR The eyes and hopes of the world turn to 1216 acres of reclaimed lanp on Flushing Bay, Long Island April 30 for the greatest exposition of cul- ture and achievement of modern times-the World's Fair 1939-de- General Motors 'Highways Of Tomorrow' Exhibit -- :, t picting the World of Tomorrow. An estimated 60,000,000 will visit this wonder city raised from a form- er ash dump and swamp at arcost of $155,000,000. Reduced rail fares, in- creased hotel accommodations and highly-geared motor routes have all been offered to make the Fair avail- able to all. Phases Of Living Depicted Exhibit zones will relate the theme of the Fair-Building the World of Tomorrow-to various phases of liv-' ing. World industry will be repre- sented in individual buildings and in special exhibits. Twenty-five nations will possess their own pavilions, at least 38 others will display their pro- ducts in structures comprising the Hall of Nations. An amusement zone of 280 acres, encircling the irregular oval of Meadow Lake, will provide fun and relaxation in full measure. Vast halls will display every aspect of life in the past, of today and to- morrow. On every side will be stretches of lawn, trees, flowers, foun- tains, cascades to enhance the beauty of the spectacle. Trylon And Perisphere Subordinating even the principal' structures will be the prodigious di-' mensions of the Fair's own symbol, its objective center of gravity-the' Trylon and Perisphere. The Trylon is a slender shaft of three sides which rises-700 feet to beggar the 555 feet ' five inches of the Washington Mon- ument. It is joined near its base to the Perisphere, a hollow ball with a diameter of 200 feet.' The Fair will be divided into 14 major sections, each one significant to modern life. They are: Govern-' ment, Production, Transportation, Communication, Distribution, Busi- ness Systems, Shelter, Clothing and Cosmetics, Sustenance, Health and Public Welfare, Education, Recrea- tion, Arts and Religion. In more general outline three large areas are1 defined. These are the exhibits, pre- sented by the Fair and private in- dustry; government, which includes' the United States Federal Building, foreign participation and the displays of States and possessions of the Union; and the Amusement Zone.t For amusement the Fair will rep- SPOT ESSF L E T Island Paradise Is Man-Made At Golden Gate Bridges, Ferries, Planes' Will Transport Tourists To Artistic Buildings By LEONARD SCHLEIDER Mecca of millions of people from the far corners of the earth this year will be San Francisco's International Golden Gate Exposition which, its backers say, is positively the great- est entertainment and educational at- traction of any century. Treasure Island Opened Without benefit of Grover Whalen, genuinely artistic Treasure Island was opened to a waiting world last Saturday by Michigan alumnus Cul- bert Olson, governor of the Sunshine State, using a bejeweled key. The Pageant of the Pacific, situat- ed on a man-made island in San Francisco Bay beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, is a panorama of exotic towers, lagoons and colorful build- ings. Murals, bas-reliefs and olive trees lend enchantment to the scene. Foreign Exhibits Included Exhibits include those of the Brit- ish Empire, Hawaii, South American republics, France and the Nether- lands. An American Indian exhibit dominates the U.S. Federal building. Conspicuous on the Gayway, amuse- ment area, are the Wine Temple, Streets of all Nations and Sally Rand's Nude Ranch. t [ t i r :I -- igan nor'wester, this account should fairly throb with longing for thej sunny spots of the South. A South- erner looks at the South-from a vantage point as chilling as a debu- tant's hauteur. This is wander- lust in reverse. Kentucky, Gateway To Dixie One of the first Southern spots through which the traveler from Michigan must pass is Kentucky.I This is introduced not so much be- cause it is home to the author, ,but because it is the Gateway to Dixie. A stay in the bluegrass, under the alcoholic aura of mint juleps, close to the beat of thoroughbred hooves,, will aid in conditioning the Northern. traveler to the Southern viewpoint.- In search of the sun, the traveler presses on across the Mason-Dixon line, into the land of cotton fields,x sharecroppers, stately colonial homes and Negro spirituals. He may turn. Mardis Gras of New Orleans is over, the traveler will probably turn to Florida, where every square mile seemingly contains some attraction. St. Augustine Of Interest Perhaps the chief point of interest in the north of the state is the old Spanish fort at St. Augustine, built like a medieval European castle and replete with antique cannon, dun- geons and a moat. For nature-lovers, there is, near Jacksonville, an alliga- tor farm where thousands of the reptiles compete for a place in the sun. Mecca for south-bound tourists is, of course, Miami. Most travelers reach it via the Atlantic Coast, but an interesting variation is along the Tamiami Trail through the E\ r- glades and the reservations of the Seminole Indians. After one reaches Miami, the range of activities is as broad as the pocketbook. Southern Patriarch Scans Dixie, Land Of Sun, Song And Beaches By COLONEL H. HAUFLER ' to the "deep South" of Louisiana, Written in a fit of nostalgia in- proud of its traditions of noble creoles spired by a harsher than usual Mich- and pretty quadroons. But since the r 'resent the handiwork of some of the foremost geniuses in the world of theatre, radio and cinema dancers will' glide on many floors, among them, "The Winter Wonderland," a vast cabaret in Alpine settings of snow, ice and glacier. In "Old New York," "Steve Brodie" will jump six times nightly from the "Brooklyn Bridge," "tear jerkers" will be sung, there will be handlebar mustaches and Floradora Girls who will shock Mayor La Guardia. The Fair will stress education as the single factor which separates civilization from catastrophe. With Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase Chan- cellor of New York University as its chairman, the Fair's Department of Education will plan and supervise elaborate exhibits among them "The School of Tomorrow," with demon- stration classes to be studied by visit- ors. The emotional and practical problems of childhood, adolescence and maturity-all these will be stud- ied in respect to their influence on citizenship. American Exhibits Pretentious Of American exhibits, the U.S. Fed- eral Building will be one of most pre- tentious. It will include exhibits of the executive, judicial and legisla- tive branches of the American gov- ernment. Two towers representing the judiciary and legislature will be joined by a semi-circular structure, the symbol of executive government, which will be faced with 13 columns representing the Union's original states. Latest reports. from the East re- port that the Fair is three weeks' ahead of schedule and That old Gotham is already flying the ban- ners of welcome and huzzah in antici- pation of the many visitors who will pass through the Turnstiles of To- morrow. National Parks I Bid Welcome To Travelers By WILLIAM ELMER To repeat a rather trite phrasing: "Why go abroad when we have some of the world's most beautiful scenic spots in the great national parks of the west?" Moreover, out there is calm, quietude and aside from a few wild beasts, there is no fear of invad- ing armies or dictators. A whole summer could be spent in Yellowstone without seeing every- thing thoroughly, but specially ar- ranged tours afford the tourist a visit to some of the more famous beauties in three or four days. Of course, it is possible to drive your own car through and it is also possible to pitch a tent or put up at one of the lodges or hotels and spend as much time as one wishes.N None of our great parks offers more in interest and recreation. Yellow- stone is a show unique on the Ameri- can continent. But while the northwest has its geysers and hot springs, the canyons of the southwest are not equalled anywhere in the world for their rugged beauty, their rainbow hued massiveness, or grotesque formations. Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon Na- tional Parks are literally a fairyland of color, etched and chiseled and cut by beauty-creating genius of erosion into color-saturated rock layers. Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, the land of snow-capped peaks, miles above sea.level, offers a real healthfully invigorating vaca- tion for the city-weary or the class- weary student. Yosemite National Park in Cali- fornia is chiefly remarkable as a huge valley carved years ago by gla- ciers from the granite sides of the Sierras. Here is found the highest falls in the world, Yosemite Falls, tumbling from a height of 2,565 feet.

You'll arrange to travel first class, perhaps; more likely tourist. Why? Because someone told you that was the only way to go, or because that's the way you've always gone. .Why not go by freighter? You grunt. By those slow, dirty coal boxes? Nev- er!! Have you even tried them? Evi- dently not. A freighter is one of the thousa:,ds of cargo carriers that steam into every port in the world and pick up freight as schedules demand. They have no set time table, adding from one to ten ports of call to each trip after starting. A seven day cruise is likely to stretch into ten days, at no extra expense to the passenger. Smaller freighters carry from two to a dozen passengers. Larger cargo liners sometimes have special decks for passengers and carry from 75 to 100 or more. Cost of a freighter trip in many instances is less than the cost of living at home for the same 1 i t I 1 .. The Michigan Daily presents its first travel supplement for 1939, the early appearance of which is a reminder that reservations for trips during spring and summer vacations should be made as early as possible. On these two pages are a few suggestions on where to go and how to get there, what to look for and what to keep away from. Take this paper with you on your travels and you can't go wrong. TRAVEL.

Clothes present no problem, informality being the key- tote. On the larger liners, the state- rooms, more often as not, are large, outside cabins equipped with regular beds. Not only is a freighter as clean as an ocean liner, but is as fast and sometimes faster. The cheapest freighter to South Africa makes bet- ter time than the cruise liners. One freight line does passenger boat time to and from Europe regularly. Cooperative History Tolde The evolution of the Michigan Wol- verine, student cooperative, from a group serving 25 or 30 students in the basement of Lane Hall in 1932 .to a well established organization in 1938 providing board for 800 people is traced in the fourth issue of the Washtenaw Progressive published by progressive groups in Washtenaw county. 1 Also POPULAR ONE-CLASS SHIPS UNITED STATES LINES: To LONDON and LIVERPOOL $105 and Up One Way AMERICAN SCANTIC LINE: One Class Ships to Baltic Ports PANAMA PACIFIC LINE: New York to California Through the Panama Canal American Republics Line CRUISES TO SOUTH AMERICA 38 Days - $410 and up See your local agent or UNITE D STA TES LIN ES 1255 Washington Blvd. Detroit, Mich.
