The director of the Alaska
i i Travel Division, Morris Ford,
i has described as “coming
along nicely” the progress of
the Alaska exhibit at the New
York World’s Fair.
The big circular modern
building is well under con
struction, he said, and is ex
pected to be completed by Dec.
i 31 The fair will run April 22
through mid October in both
1064 and 1965.
Fair-goers will note several
similarities between Alaska’s
New York presentation and the
one which the 49th State in
troduced in Seattle. Reproduc
tion of the northern lights —
one of the big hits of the en
tire Seattle World’s Fair—will
once more ciimax the north
land show. However. Ford re
j ported, improved techniques
■ ar.d the experience gained at
I Seattle will allow an even
more authentic and dynamic
reproduction.
The 25 percent larger size of
the new buiiding plus layout
changes will allow 30 percent
, more spectator traffic than in
i Seattle. In all, Alaskans expect
| more than five and a half mill
ion persons to visit the Alaska
| pavilion during the two year
j show.
“We couldn't have picked a
I better location,” said Ford.
"Our building is directly across
! from the New York state ex
hibit which features a giant
pylon rising 225 feet into t h e
air—the highest point on the
fair grounds. Elevators will
carry spectators to the top, and
1 just as this feature at the Space
Needle drew almost all the vis
itors at Seattle, so this pylon
ride should draw most of the
folks at New York.”
“Being next door to the
Space Needle in Seattle
brought tens of thousands of
visitors to our exhibit. Being
across the street from the
pylon will do the same thing
in New York,” Ford predicted.
Flanking the Alaska exhibit
will be the state of Missouri ex
hibit and the Westinghouse
Time Capsule.
Again utilizing the technique
of a rising ramp, with exhibits
along the way, the Alaska ex
hibit will show the history, cul
ture, economics, wildlife, charm
and the opportunities which
Alaska possesses.
A brand new feature will be
the sale of Eskimo Pie ice
cream bars on the Alaska
grounds. This product, said
Ford, represents not only an
opportunity for revenue but an
I

additional publicity opportun
ity as well. The Eskimo Pie or
ganization has pledged their
support in nationally publiciz
ing their tie-in with Alaska at
the fair.
In what amounted roughly to
a preview of the Eskimo P i e
promotion, the Alaska delega
tion at the recent national
convention of the American So
ciety of Travel Agents distrib
uted more than 4,000 ice cream
bars. The reaction among the
other delegates was unani
mously favorable.
Geology Professor Studies Cantwell
Rock Formation in McKinley Park
Secrets of a 100 million year
old phenomenon in McKinley
Park are under intensive in
vestigation by a University of
Alaska geology professor.
Dr. Marvin J. Andrcsen is
recording the history and de
velopment of the Cantwell rock
formation — a scenic wonder
which has delighted tourists
driving along the Denali High
way each summer.
Rock collections made in the
area of the formation last sum
mer by Dr. Andresen and two
students are now undergoing
analyses at the University’s
Geology Department.
‘Very thin slices are cut from
the rocks," Dr. Andresen ex
plains, “so thin that light will j
pass through them. The slices,
mounted on glass slices, are
then studied with polarizing
microscopes. The rocks, like
pages in a book, can tell the
' history of the earth during the
j time they were being deposit
ed."
Scientists have established
that the Cantwell formation
■vas formed by deposits from
streams which originated in
what was an ancestral moun
tain range The base of the
Cantwell formation is com
posed of quartz bou’der and is
’ approximately 500 feet thick,
i The total formation is about
i 4C00 feet thick.
Dr. Andresen has been in
erested in the Cantwell forma
ion almost from the time he
Dined the University staff in
960. shortly after receiving
iis Ph.D. from the University
if Missouri. He has studied it
or the past two summers but
lelieves his research is by no
neans complete. The Geologist,
vho will include a description
>f the formation in a booklet
ie is preparing on the geolo
>ical structure of McKimey
bark, said he will continue his
nvestigation for several more
years.
The Research
Corporation, a
non-profit organization which |
helps finance the work of
young scientists, and f u n d s
supplied to the University's
Geology Department by t h e
Gulf Oil Co., helped support
Dr. Andresen's research this
past summer.
In i9f!l Dr. Andresen parti
cipated in the International !
Field Institute in the British |
Isles as one of only 20 geology j
teachers elected from more
than 200 departments in the
United States.

Cooperation of the various
industries within Alaska has
been very gratifying, said Ford
who is presently canvassing
various firms, cities, and organ
izations not only for exhibit
material but for cash donations
to the project as well.
Personnel ot the Eastman
Kodak Company have offered
to assist Alaska in lighting,
layout, and proper utilization
of photos throughout the ex
hibit to the greatest possible
advantage. Ford sees this offer
as especially valuable in pre
senting the Alaska concept of
a modern state through ohotos
of industry, modern homes,
schoi ,, and cultural pursuits.
"There's no doubt in my
mind". Ford said, "the Alaska j
exhibit will be one all Alas- •
kar.s v ill enjoy and that a 1 1
Alaskans can take pride in. We :
may not have the higgest ex
hibit at the fair, but we have
the biggest story to tell. I feel
we're going to tell it well.”
