Miss Ann Hanauer
Found Eastern Visit
Intensely Interesting
SAW WORLDS FAIR
Crossed Lake Erie By
Boat On Way To
Scenic Niagara Falls

Viewing the entrance of the King
and Queen of England into New
York through a television receiver,
Miss Ann Hanauer found New York
City intensely more interesting
than the Worlds Fair, called Mia
CARA Falls the highlight, and Balti-
more a city of white steps.
Miss Hanauer, vacationing from
the Penney store here, whose head
quarters she visited in New York,
returned from a three weeks tour
In the East last Thursday. Miss
Martha Minette, her travelling COM
panion, left her at Pittsburgh on
the return trip, went to Springfield,
Ohio, where she will visit before
coming onto Chicago and then
home.
High up in an office building,
as the King and Queen rode into
New York, the two girls from Main
Street sat in comfortable office,
eyes glued to the receiving panel
Of a television set. There spread
before them was the welcome to the
English royalty. II kept thinking
it was like watching a newsreel,"
she said this week. The office was
that Of cousin of Miss Hanauer's.
The day royalty visited the Fair
100000 had entered the grounds
by three o'clock.
Enroute they went to Detroit,
crossed Lake Erie by boat to Buff
falo, swung to the Niagara Falls
which for sheer grandeur Miss
Hanauer labeled "the high point"
and then moved through Scranton
to New York City.
What is perhaps the opinion of
many midwesterners, the girls
found New York City itself far
overshadowing it's offspring the
Fair with it's points Of interest.
1.-The Fair is enormous but New
York is more entertaining" she
said.
They did the usual spots in their
ten day stay in the City. There was
only 7-mile visibility when they
mounted to the top Of the Empire
State Building and the Music Hall,
Radio City came under their sur
VIGILANCE. Shopping center, Fifth
Avenue, and Broadway they stroll
ed one evening while the lights
flashed and the Gay White Way
is not misnamed," was their re-
action.
They brought a little fashion hint
back from the City. Hat and gloves
are a prime requisite for New York
goers, Miss Hanauer pointed out.
you're out of luck if you don't
have them. We carried our gloves"
Surprised by the distance Of the
ocean from New York itself, the
girls took trip of the Hudson east
river, finally out to Coney Island
where they saw the surf pounding
in.
Leaving New York, they went to
Washington, D. c., where they
brought back a business note COM
parison that rated taxi fare higher
in New York than in the Capitol,
but a reverse indication in regard
to street car travel.
In the Capitol one of the high
lights was mounting to the top OF
the Washington Monument in the
evening. To vary the procedure
they walked the 900 steps down the
555-foot shaft. Washington is a
city of steps, Miss Hanauer point
ed out, every approach to public
buildings is lined with them.
In Baltimore the white steps to
be found everywhere brought COM
ment. In front Of every home steps
are either Of white stone or painted
white. "And they're spotlessly clean
too. They must scrub them every
morning." she said.
Describing the country between
New York and the Capitol, she was
impressed with it's beauty and it's
well-kept appearance. Hedges are
neatly clipped, banks of roses are
trained over the fences, she said,
throughout the whole countryside.
