SIERRA =~ BY DE HOME AGAIN,.Itishard to beleive that one week ago we were on our way to a World's Fair. It seems that it was only yesterday that we weretyping on this Royal, looking forward to a bike race and ball game in Nevada City.. But back we are, and a week has passed, Rested? No, but the week was pleasant-especially the days spent in Eugene, Ore. , where family conversation blended with bicycle riding (believe it or not, the Thompsonswere pumping bikes as midnight brought on Father's Day, riding beneath a-full moon that lit River Loop Rd. along the Willamette River) and the fun of seeing the two feminine members of "we three” rise from the water on skis. Vee has the remains of a swollen ankle to show for'her final tumble, Debby a movie film which she hopes will prove she was on top and riding smoothly when an accidental brush of the elbow flicked the motor switch to the off position in the boat and Debby slowed to a sinking stop 300 yards out in the lake.

Had we realized the chore that now faces us, this writer never would have promised to answer some questions. .But promise we did, and answer we will. First some background so that you may better understand our answers, “Wethree”" spent 24 hours in the space of two days inside the gates of the Seattle World Fair. We became tiredand somewhat cranky. We stood in line many times, yet we avoided between six and eight hours of lines by making use of press Suntime For Boys 8 to 20 Stretch Trunks MEN'S SWIMWEAR BY McGREGOR OR BRENTWOOD ee and: Boxer Styles Beach Jackets and Sandals Wash n’ Wear Walking Shorts in Dacron and cotton Trunks Sea Ducks Cabana Sets Walking Shorts Beach Jacket 128 Mill St. Grass Valley Sea Ducks by A-] in white, black, green or tan San Juanis still onthe map, the homes are still there but to find most of the townspeople one must go to the river, There, you will find mothers with small children, waiting .for fathers to get off work and join them, Tourists ahd campers are thick on Moonshine Beach and while some of them may look a little weird tothe natives (no visor caps this year?) it can work the other way too. What would you think of five giggling young damsels slipping into the icey green water on . 4 moonlit night clad in billowing mu-mu's? Next time girls, just for more effect you should replace the giggling and shrieking with some mysterious incantations or how about a candlelit procession? Other oddities last week at BYWAYS Solel = AN THOMPSON courtesies. There were a few exhibits which we missed, but every effort was made to see the best of the fair. Our oriinal plans had called for three days at the exposition, With the equivalent of more than 30 hours of time spent inside the gates, we feel it would be impossible to see more in less than three days. Enough background, THE ANSWERS. .Is it worth a trip to Seattle just to see Century 21? Wewould say it is not worth a special trip to the fair. However, if someone in your family is extremely interested in Science then the fair may be worth the tripto that person. We'll explain this to a greater extent when we get to discussing the exhibits, Also, you might consider a vacation to the Northwest where a visit to the fair is only a part of
the vacation. In this event, you could enjoy the beauty of Washington and Oregon andthe numerous interesting sights without basing the success or failure of your trip on the impression you get from a fair visit. . .How about ExpoLodging? Century 21 and Expo-L feel the reservations agency for the fair is doing an excellent job,: They point to the fact that Expo-L has been able to handle accommodations for the largest crowds to visit Seattle. This writer feels they are falling short of their mark. More on this later, too. This suggestion for now: If Possible, make reservations well in advance, direct with the motel. or hotel of your choice. If this is impossible, make reservations through Expo-Land arrive in Seattle about noon. If the reservations do not suit you, refusethem, and travel north on Aurora Blvd until you find a motel with the vacancy sign out. There WILL be vacancies unless fair attendance is above the 75,000 daily nrark, A ten mile ride in from the north is only about } 15 minutes from fair parking. Many of the apartments being reserved through Expo-L are at least that far away in time because of downtown . traffic.. .How about enter-OnSt TO COAST co STORES HOME FURNISHINGS SALE JUNE 1S HOME FURNISHINGS MONTH AT COAST-TO-COAST STORES tainment? If you are planning on seeing the fair for the entertainment, don't go. Turn around and head for Reno or Las Vegas. (The exceptions later).,.Are the lines too long? The lines to the most popular four exhibits range from a minimum of one hour to a maximum of three and one half hours. They are too long, and there is no good reason for their existence. But there is little hope that the problem will be solved this year. Perhapsthe answer is the foursome we saw with five folding chairs----they used the fifth chair to play bridge on while waiting in line forthe Space Needle.. How about the exhibits? They range from good to poor, But too few are good, too many are juvenile in their presentation. One feature of the fairthat seems tobe acknowledged as worth the wait is the Space Needle, Its view overlooking Seattle and Puget Sound is worthy of a World's Fair, TheSpace Needle will be there for your enjoyment afterthe fair closes, And we wager the waiting line will have vanished. We'll follow Sunday with additional comments on the fair and more particularly on some of the exhibits. ON THE HOME FRONT,.. The old forestry headquarters onBanner Mt, Rd, is the site chosen for a plush restaurant andcocktail lounge scheduled to open in August. It will be named Deer Creek Inn, operated by the Jacks (Beggs and Wentz). Petitions are circulating in protest of the alcoholic beverage license among Banner Mt, Rd. residents, we're told. This led one local resident to wonder if the alleged concern over the curve as it crosses the NID ditch is because of restaurant drinkers leaving the area downhill bound~--or whether the concern is for the Bourbon Hill No, 2 residents homeward bound coming up the hill at that point..Be that as it may, if the restaurant does not open, the property owners have a standing offer for the land to be used as a drive-in theater.

Owners, The Hatch's of San Juan were aided by several small children and finally the grusomely adorable little creature was found. I suspect that all of the loving attention he was receiving made him long for the swamplands of the south, at any rate when I saw him he was making as fast as his four feet would go trying to hide under the Stuart Baby's play pen.
