' We attended two escorted bus
tours throughout New York Olty
and received greetings from Now
York Mayor Robert F. Wagner,
who presented * us with a folder
telling us what to see while In
New rortr The Mayors message
said In part: ■ ’
We deeply appreciate ths com-
pluaciiti that many of our read-
ers of this department passed on
to us concerning what we had
to say about lour 15-Day Escorted
Greyhound Bus Tour to the
World’s Fair In New Torlc City,
In last week’s Issue of The Chief-
•
The fact that we spent only
four nights of the 15-day tout in
New York City as compared to
eleven nights elsewhere would
about correctly indicate the rela-
tive importance of the World's
Fair to the rest of the trip in
regard to enjoyment and Infor-
mation.
Man-made “sights” seldom
equal and rarely excel those made
toy God through Nature.
But just as man and God work-
ing together can grow a prettier
rose in a cultivated garden than
is possible to find In the unculti
vated rough spots of nature, Just
so you will see at the World’s
Fair things you would have be-
lieved impossible whan the last
World's Fair was held in New
York during the period of 1938-
1940.
“Welcome to the City of New
York, the world’s most exciting
ah year round vacation center.
We New Yorkers who lire and
work here are happy to share
the many splendid attractions of
our city with all who visit us,
especially during the Fair.

The location of the present
World's Fair Is the same as that
of the one held 20 years ago,
rising out of the one-time misty
bogs of Flushings Meadows, Long
Island. It is a congeries of some
175 seperate pavilions and struc-
tures. bold and startling towers,
domes, buttresses, pylons and
other architectural fant&sties,
amply accommodated on 045 acres
—a show place, nine times as
big as the Seattle Fair of 1952.

make the tour on account of

of a policy of “no paid tours on
