NEW YORK TAGAVELEAAsA
 The many closed travel agencies along Fifth Ave. A sore of civ- ilization thousands of miles away touching one Of the most civilized streets in the world The cac- tus plant display ct Rockefeller Plaza in tune with the city's des- ert temperatures ... The people trying tO relax from the strain of b week of subway rush hours; zoe tng to and from the seasIlore In crowded subways Rain flip- ping dimples ct puddles;. and the pretty rainbows in the gutters made by oil and water being murdered by passing cars The enarneled self assurance of headwaiters greet Ing you as if 1t were reunion The workers ct information posts At various depots sitting on their patience with . frozen smile, while they answer silly queries .. Mother Natures hoboes--the clouds rolling aimlessiy into oblivion.
 The midtown eatery that quotes Billy Sundays advice: Try prais- Ing your wife, even if it does fright- en her at first" The little groups that always finger around Broadway sidewalks, busily discuss Ing nothing as if 1t was something
 The gigantic shop window At 47th St. and Fifth Ave. that displays only rug The people watching the animals akthe zoo: put the best exhibit there are these Watchful humans Boweryites wing from force of habit, just walk ng along staring into infinity The town in all it's glory: When 'osy dawn starts to digest the night nd gorgeous colors run wild through he sky, making visual Paradise.
 The million nervous fingers of ain tapping on cafeteria windows, md little clusters of humanity in- ide slipping coffee. Some sick f their jobs and others heartsick because they're jobless .. An oc- asional breeze waltzing through the rees in the park to the tune of the |elvet whisper of swaying leaves.
 The cheap dance-hells where yals have their feet and spirits topped on all day The bal- et dance of clouds around the tips f skyscrapers, ignored by the hur- ying throng rushing to meet a ervous breakdown ;. The beau- iful serenity of the Garment Dis- rict on Sundays, and it's rundown ppearance on week-days when its logged with humanity Fifth Ave., drowsy with silence at five yem with only the hum of a pass ng car to embroider the quiet
 The commuter train clearing ts throat as 1t gets ready to leave; nd the commuters getting their ally exercise by rushing to meet it on park benches for hours sur. ounded by peace.
 The sky gargling thunder and ghtnlng showing the white of its yes &s the streets shed humanity rying to get out of the shower he many sections in the big town hat are filled with pretty little omes, with gardens and ree.lined treets and everything else remini- cent of a small town The lways thrilling band concerts in he park where most of the people ont know much about music-but hey know how to enjoy 1t The crowds oozing out of subways ager to get home and rest their rounded spirits and be ready for he next days battle for existence
 The little rockets of laughter lying into the air from the threats children living in their own little 1eavven that is known as youth.
 The invasion of humidity chas. ng people out of the city and into ir-cooled movies the annual var between humans and nature.
