To 'make It easy to reach the fair grounds New York's new Independent subway (which, out in Flushing, will be paradoxically ELEVATED) will be extended two miles from the terminal in Kew Gardens. The Long Island railroad and the Interborough and BMT subways will have stations Id the grounds and their facilities will be enlarged. Autoists will find parking space lor 65,000 cars, and buses will be able to handle 50,000 passengers daily to and from the fair. An inspiring and picturesque scene awaits the 1939 visitor who approaches the grounds by water, and for aquatic craft Flushing bay will be dredged and improved.

For Flushing Meadow is the site of the 1939 New York Worlds Fair. It will be the largest exposition the world has ever known, from a iy point of view which may be taken. It will cover the largest area 1,21614 acres. It will cost more money than any other exposition some $125,000,000. If the predictions of its sponsors are fulfilled, it will attract the most visitors of all the fairs the world has known at least 50,000,000 they say. Certainly the New York fair will be the most ambitious in scope and purpose. "The theme, says Grover Whalen, it colorful president, is the creation of a better and fuller life the advancement of human wel fare. Purpose of the Fair. "All that has been learned, or discovered, or fabricated toward this end in the one hundred and fifty years since George Washingtons first inauguration as President in the City of New York; all that is good and attainable by individuals and communities; all the goods and ideas thus far developed, will be displayed in a connected sequence, so that, seeing what is available to them, visitors to the fait may be inspired to work with their fellow citizens for a more worthy future. The New York fair, looking over the past, will try to answer the questions: "What kind of a world have we built? and What kind of a world are we building? But it will go farther. For the visitor who conscientiously peruses the myriads of exhibits, interrelated in a pattern which will permit him a comprehensive conception of the whole o rather than a hodge-podg- e of separate sensations, the fair will also attempt to answer the question: What kind of a world OUGHT we to build? Exhibits Will Be Zoned. ' It is the intention of the to show the significant alliance between all the potential contribut-- slam-bang- ments designed to accommodate a maximum of 800,000 persons a day. The largest single days attendance at A Century of Progress exposition which holds the worlds record for total attendance was 500,000, and visitors spent hours trying to get out of the grounds. The World' Columbian exposition of 1893, also In Chicago, played host to 756,000 in one day, and it was a jam in every sense of the word, the old timers say. Aiding Motor Traffic.
