it turns out to be an engineers dream shape in

knows till the Fairs over, and sometimes not then
The first fair on record was when King Ahasuerus
staged his big l8O-day fair in Shushan, Persia. He
never figured it would get him a wife, but
Queen Vashti refused to put in an appearance for
the fairs closing ceremony, and lost her royal job
to Esther, according to the Bible.
There we're lot of local fairs after that including
some pretty big ones during the Middle Ages. In
the eighteenth century London and Paris launched
industrial fairs showing the latest wrinkles in Shelf
field cutlery quordistillng, etc. But it wasn't till
the middle of the nineteenth century that the first
Worlds Fair opened.
Here's short rundown of some unforgettable
Worlds Fairs - and what made them unforgettable:
London ISL: The First Worlds Fair with exhibits
from all the leading nations, was dreamed up by
Prince Albert. The Great Exhibition, as it was
called, gave the world its first Worlds Fair symbol
- and a magnificent one it was. The committee IN
charge had rejected 245 straight blueprints from
leading British and European architects, when an
ex-gardener named Joseph Paxton submitted design
based on greenhouse. The idea of glass building
left the committee speechless, but Paxton, man
far ahead of his time, sent his idea to the new
illustrated London News the worlds first picture
magazine With the London public it was love at
first sight Despite dire predictions from experts
nhe Astronomer Royal said the thing couldn't
stand up) Paxton's towering greenhouse, enclosing
several Hyde Park elms, was built Punch called
it ''The Crystal Palace" and overnight it became
one of the worlds most famous buildings After the
Exhibition it was taken down piece by piece and
moved to the outskirts where it served as Cutlery
exhibition and amusement hall for eight decades,
before fire destroyed it in 1896.
But Prince Aberts Great Exhibition left more
behind than the Crystal Palace. Out of its handsome
profits we're eventually built the Victoria and Albert
Museum, several other museums and cluster OF
schools and colleges And since 1891 the estate left
by the Exhibition has financed thousands of scholar
ships to British universities. Known as 1851
Scholars" the recipients have numbered seven
Nobel Prize winners and many scientists.
The Exhibition left at least one other souvenir -
Antoine Sax's new instrument, the saxophone

Question: I'm the early por-
ton Of the Bible-Deuteron-
omy 1 thipk-God is reported
as having said: Let us make
man in our own image, after
our likeness. ETC. To whom
or what does the our have
reference?"
Answer: The quotation to
which you refer is not in Deu-
teronomy but in Genesis 1925,
The ancient Scriptures seem
to imply that there were other
heavenly beings in the presence
Of God, and that God spoke
with them and that they car
ried out His orders.
Another theory to explain
this verse is that the Divine Be-
ing spoke in the plural in the
same way as the plural pro-
noun was used by royalty, even
as far back as the early Per-
sian Empire.
A third theory, not generally
accepted by Biblical scholars,
is that this was a reference to
the Holy Trinity. This latter
is rejected in most areas be-
cause the idea of the Trinity
came many centuries later in
religious history.
Question: I'm the Apostles
Greed it states that Jesus Christ

BERLIN, Sept. IL (AP).-In
a note assailing Western troop
movements to Berlin, the So
Wet Union has told the West
that the Communist East Ger
man regime has the right to
regulate foreign travel to East
Berlin.
Rejecting an August 26 note
from the United States, British
and French Ambassadors to
West Germany protesting the
sealing of the border in divided
Berlin, the Russians told the
Ambassadors yesterday to take
their complaints to the East
German regime.
One major aim of Premier
Khrushchev'S pressure on Ber-
lin is to force Western recogni-
ton of East Germany. The
Western powers regard the East
German regime as a Soviet
puppet.
Mikhail Pervukhin, Sovie
Ambassador to East Germany
complained in his note that the
Western powers had brought
troop reinforcements to Berlin
and had posted soldiers on
West Berlin's border.
Mr.. Pervukhin declared such
troop movements could encour-
age West Berlin's fascist and
revenge-Seeking elements" and
this could result in serious con-
sequences.
Foreigners now are admitted
to East Berlin but Mr.. Per-
vukhin's note raised the posi-
bility that they soon would be
barred. Foreigners may cross
into East Berlin on subway
and elevated trains and may
cross on foot and by car at a
special gate at the corner of
Friedrichstrasse and thinner
StrasSe.
Mr.. Pervukhin's letter to
United States Ambassador
Walter c. Bowling was pub
lished last night by the East
German news agency Adm.
The Soviet Ambassador said:
Visits by citizens of foreign
states to the (East) German
Democratic Republic, known as
an independent sovereign state
and to its capital are regulated
by the government of the
G. D. R. If you have any wishes
in this connection you must
take them up with the authori-
ties of the G. D. r."
In his reference to foreigners,
Mr.. Pervukhin did not distin-
guish between civilians ano
troops. In their military deal
ings, the Western allies have
so far avoided formal contact
with East German officials.
When Allied troops are helo
up at checkpoints by the East
Germans the troops demand
and usually get-help from a
Soviet officer in crossing tc
East Berlin. This demand i,
pressed to avoid providing any
basis for the Communists tc
create a precedent and under
cut Western occupation rights
IN Berlin further. The occupa-
tlon accords give troops of all
1our nations free access
throughout the city.
