a patient guard at the east gate
repeated, Not over one adult to

cracked phonograph record. A
child, IL or under, was the only
ticket needed for entrance to the
south grounds. Most apocryphal
hopes of the day came when one
man attempted to get a young
goat past the animal restriction
by explaining to the guard. This
is a kid, amt it?"

The loSt-and-found micro
phone on the public address sys-
tenn was one of the busiest spots
on the grounds. Advertised were
such items as 20 children before
noon, one husband, one shoe, one
sweater, a silver pin and a teddy
bear. The lost children, many of
them bowling at the top of their
voices, were corralled inside the
temporary fence just below the
south portico.
Two young soldiers wearing
I'd Army shoulder patches tried
twice to break the child barrier
merely by pointing out any child
filing through the gate in front
of them. You tried that a bit
ago." one of the guards smiled.
Wait few years and try again."
Most unimpreSsed person in
the whole milling throng was

his mother negotiated the crowds
