IT WAS A SHOW that only

IA was n onOW bkAdt VAkAy
could happen in Washington.
Richard Terrell OF the Rec
reation Department who ar
ranged it, explained how it
came about.
For years we have had an
annual handicraft show. The
biggest attraction has always
been the section given over
to the embassies.
so we decided to have a
little Worlds Fair. We asked
the cultural attaches to a
meeting and they were very
enthusiastic. That was two
years ago. Since then the
embassies and legations have
been getting these exhibits
together.
The State Department
helped US get everything
through customs. That's why
the articles are not for sale.
No duty was paid on them.
They viii have to be kept In
the embassies or sent back.
"As you see, they are not
all products OF handicrafts.
There was some understand
able misunderstanding and
some nations sent manufac-
tured articles in which they
take pride. We would have
exhibited them all If there
was room. We have been I'M
able TO find space for some
wonderful rugs from the
Middle East.
THE American exhibit was
put together by the Smith
sonian Institution. Why don't
you start there?"
We did. 1t was an early
chapter in the history Of de-
sign. There we're the Navajo
rugs in the familiar geomet-
ric patterns and a nest Of
baskets Of thin strips Of
white oak made by the Cher
okees and raffia baskets
made by other tribes.
These Indians were perfec-
tionists. Their raffia baskets
were even better than the
best made at our school in
the early l900s and sent to
the county fair.
But the arts Americans
can well take pride in came
from one Of our newest
States and the smallest Of
our minority group-the Es-
kimos Of Alaska.
Their polar bears and seals
carved from the tusks Of the
walrus, the ivory Of the
North. could find an honored
place in the sculptury Of any
Of the worlds great galleries.
