INDUSTRIAL SECTION
STATUS REPORT
(as of August 6, 1 964)
The Continental Insurance Company - by amendment No. 1 dated
July 1, 1964, The Continental Insurance Company increased its
space by 7, 004 sq. ft. Tllis additional area is to be used for the
erection and operation of a visitors and employees lounge (to
occupy approximately 1, 000 sq. ft.) and landscaping. Additional
rental: $8, 000 - received as payment in full for the use of this
additional area during the 1964 and 1965 seasons of the Fair.
The exhibit itself has been substantially improved since our last
report. What was formerly a large outdoor screen on the front of
the building now houses a life-sized "Spirit of '76" diorama. Although
the content of the exhibit remains the same, it now includes a
presentation of a colorful film show titled Cinema' 76.
S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc.- has been granted permission to use
approximately 80 sq. ft. , free of charge for the remainder of this
year, for a temporary addition to their pavilion. It will serve as a
locker room for employees, thus freeing space on the ground floor
of their building for much-needed office space. In expressing
appreciation for the Fair's consideration of their need, the exhibit
manager has written:
11
all of our problems are those resulting
from success, and you will never catch me complaining about
problems of this nature."
Mastro Pizza, Inc .. - has purchased 5, 000 sq. ft. of additional
space for the purpose of providing tables and chairs for the use of
their patrons. Total additional rent: $20, 000.
2. MULTIPLE EXHIBIT PAVILIONS
There is nothing further to report since the last meeting, except to
say that these pavilions remain in trouble, and are troublesome.
Better Living, Hall of Education and The House of Good Taste have
extended eating facilities in the hope of providing revenue. The
Pavilion of American Interiors has new management about to take
over their Glass Tower Restaurant. The House of Good Taste and

STATUS REPORT
(as of August 6, 1964)
2. MULTIPLE EXHIBIT PAVILIONS (contd.)
the Pavilion of American Interiors, both of which have admission
charges, are not attracting sufficient attendance to meet their
needs. On the other hand, Better Living- which has no admission
charge - is drawing considerable traffic.
3. SPECIAL PROJECTS
Fine Arts Pavilion - the art exhibit portion of this building has
been closed due to lack of customers, despite generally good reviews
of the exhibit material. The sponsors (Long Island Art Center, Inc.)
are now in process of plarming a new show for 1965. The remainder
of the building which is now devoted to a buffet-restaurant, known as
Bar green Buffet, continues to operate quite successfully.
The Singer Bowl - The Industrial Section is continuing to promote
additional attractions for the Singer Bowl. During the month of
August the following events have been booked: August 5, Dave Brubeck
and Duke Ellington (Cost: $4, 000), sponsored by Rheingold with 150
radio and 6 TV spots; August 12, Jamaica Ska Night, featuring an
orchestra, dancers and soloists with a presentation of a new Jamaican
rhythm and dance (Cost: $2, 200); August 22, Benny Goodman Concert
(Cost: $5, 000).

SUBJECT:
I
On August 1, 1964, one quarter of Fa Corporation's 6%
t
'
Notes were paid off, two years ahead of 1 aving a remainder
of $22, 372, 000 outstanding. After the Note cash, investments,
loans and accounts receivable amounted to $12, 675, 600 against ac o t
payable of $5, 594, 000. It is estimated that ruiother 25% of"the N
be paid on November 1, 1964. \ J
\_,
Operating expenses have been running in excess, of
but are being pared down consistent with safety and effichincy.
The total paid attendance to August 4, 1964 was 16, 145, 927,
207/o above the 1939 figure. However, the past two weeks attendance has
jumped to 34% above the 1939 Fair. Attached is a report showing
admissions by gates at the Fair, parking lot use and attendance at the re-
porting exhibits and concessions, including the Lake Amusement Area.
The Fair collected $253,000 from percentage rentals on concessions in
July. The amount earned was over $600, 000 but the difference is applied
against rental deposits. Cash receipts during August should approximate
$500,000.
It is recommended that another advance sale of tickets be held
for the 1965 season. The sale should start November 1, 1964 and end
February 28, 1965. Exactly the same discounts should be used as in the
prior advance ticket sale, 32-1/2% on sales of 50 tickets or more. It is
proposed that travel and transportation companies receive a 25% discount
after February 28, 1965 to encourage them to arrange packages to bring
visitors to the Fair. School group certificates at $6. 25 admitting 25 students
and a teacher on any school day during May, June, September and October
for any school within a 50 mile radius of the Fair site should be repeated.
The admission of all children 2 through 12 accompanied by an adult on each
Monday during July and 1965 at should be expanded to Friday
also. Friday has proven to be the poorest attendance day of the week and it
is expected that this will stimulate attendance.

FEDERAL AND STATES AREA EXECUTIVE COMMITI'EE REPORT
Exhibitors in the Federal and States Area continue to make
changes to improve their displays and attract additional people to
their pavilions.
United States Exhibit
New improvements planned at the United States Pavilion
include a People-to-People Lounge, which is primarily
a rest area on the first level next to the theatre. This
lounge area is sponsored by Hallmark Cards. Also on
the first level, next to the library, is a Herald Tribune
Exhibit. This exhibit will sell reproductions of headlines
of your date of birth for a nominal charge. All proceeds
benefit the Fresh Air Fund.
Oregon
A boat ride utilizing Amanda Water Scooters in Flushing
River, a "go cart" track where drive yourself vehicles
powered by motors built in Oregon are available, a
recently installed barbeque and a nightly "all star" in
person Hootenany are recent Oregon improvements.
Florida
A new Everglades Attraction area at the Florida Pavilion
includes such exciting events as a reptile show, colorful
Seminole Indians and alligators.

Missouri
Missouri has a new Hallmark Greeting Card
display where greeting cards, photographs
and illustrations of Hallmark's many enterprises
are shown on a rotating circular display.
Hollywood
The Hollywood show has been completely revamped
and now live entertainment is featured on such
famous motion picture and television sets as
South Pacific, West Side Story and Gun Smoke.
Bourbon Street
Outdoor stage sets designed by George Jenkins
will bring the area to a semblance of its New Orleans
counterpart. Signs, trellises and outdoor tables and
chairs are being installed and additional concessionaires
are in business.
The Texas Pavilion has closed due to financial difficulties. Efforts
are now underway to reopen the Texas Music Hall with a new show and
hopefully some valid Texas Exhibits.
Oregon, New Mexico and Montana are operating generally in the
black, but are not making enough of a profit to repay original investments.

1965 Plans
I held a meeting on July 30th with all state pavilion managers
to discuss our general plans for 1965 and I have asked them to inform
us of their plans. All of the managers are now experienced in visitor
preference and needs and are making plans to adapt their exhibits to
doing a great job and attract greater crowds.
The United States Pavilion will open a new Presidential
Document section in 1965. The area will be approximately 8000 - 10,000
square feet. A committee is working on the theme, which will concern
the activities of 11 United States Presidents. This section will house
memorabilia such as the Wilson typewriter and other well known
objects associated with the others.
New Jersey is planning an extensive revamping of its
pavilion displays and to augment the landscaping.
Active work is being carried on in several states to increase
industrial participation. Actively engaged are Oregon, Montana,
New Mexico, New England, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
1965 State Day Program
We are presently engaged in a series of State Days. To
date we have had 29 state days at which 22 Governors have appeared.
Most of the states have brought in local performers, their own newspaper
representatives, public relations and radio and television teams. A
number have included internationally famed artists, sports personalities
and other notables born in the state.

1965 State Day Program (continued)
As a result, favorable publicity at home has been
outstanding and potentially profitable to our visitor population.
lli order to expand this program for 1965 and to assure
wider participation by all 50 states, a new pavilion is under design
for the States Area for 1965. 'This pavilion will have an old-fashioned
bandshell, 1000 seats, a tourism kiosk, a small covered display area
and possibly some food service. This pavilion will be offered to the
various non-participatmg states on a weekly rental basis. It is hoped
that many states will take advantage of this pavilion and bring their
local talent to perform at the Fair for a week or more. This pavilion
will be named for the state renting it that week and will be run along
the continuous entertamment theme of the New York State Pavilion.
We already have indications from a half dozen states of interest in
this program.

All utility systems functioned satisfactorily during the month of July.
Minor surface drainage problems due to differences in elevations between exhibitors 1
plots have been corrected.
A program of protecting display planting and park areas from pedestrian
traffic was started in July, and the most vulnerable malls will have protection by
August lOth.
Certain malls were paved with asphalt and porous block in heavily-populated
areas such as Ford and General Motors and several short cuts through parks and
crossovers through malls which visitor use developed, were paved. In all, 17,000
square yards of asphalt and 25, 000 blocks were placed.
The Greyhound bus routes in the Meadow Lake Parking Field were repaired
and reinforced with a 2" layer of asphalt. A bus queueing area was laid out at the
River Gate entrance and a number of roads were widened at corners to facilitate
turns by the large buses.
An entrance with two turnstiles was erected from the Chartered Bus Area,
all ticket booths were air-conditioned, and five concrete slabs were poured for
public lockers.
The preliminary plans as submitted by Andrews & Clark for additional work
in the Flushing Meadow Park Addition have been approved, and Andrews & Clark
have been requested to submit final plans and contract documents by September 10,
