Show Yjapieton ew5 Lon Cox returned last week from a 17-day trip to the World's Fair and other places plac-es of interest in the east. He went on a Paul Lloyd tour with 31 other people, mostly senior citizens from this area, on a .chartered bus. They were privileged at the fair, to have Mrs. Ruth Aiken, a former resident res-ident of Provo, as their guide. She is working at the Dynamic" Dynam-ic" Maturity Building at the fair, which represents American Ameri-can Association of Retired Persons. Mrs. Aiken was able to save them a lot of time and to guide them to some of the most interesting exhibits. Other places of interest visited vis-ited by the group, was President Presi-dent Kennedy's grave and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where they were impressed with the changing of the guard. They also enjoyed a trip to Mount Vernon and the sight of the beautiful Patomac River. In New York City, they saw the United Nations Building, Build-ing, Rochefeller Center, Radio City, Empire State Building, FUlton's first market and the Statue of Liberty. From New York, the group went to Hill Cumorah where they saw the pageant. It was announced that 40,000 people were in attendance at-tendance the night they were there. On the way home, they stopped in Springfield, Illinois, and visited several of the Lincoln Lin-coln memorials. They also went to Nauvoo, Illinois to see the church historical places there. Being a typical farmer, M2 Cox enjoyed the tall corn and thrifty looking soy beans in Iowa and Indiana. He said it seemed like they drove for hundreds of miles through eight-foot tall corn and soy beans almost up to your waist. This is the third world's fair that Mr. Cox has been to and he says it is the best of all. |
