On behalf of the people of the united States, I wish to extend a warm welcome to all visitors to the 1982 world's Fair. world's fairs provide an exciting vision of the future. They give hope and inspiration to the world community and help establish goals for human achievement. Because energy is a major concern to all nations, the theme of The 1982 world's Fair, "Energy Turns the world," is not only appropriate, but will prove to be of great interest to all those attending this event. By emphasizing the exciting energy sources of the future, this Fair will help to bridge that gap between our energy needs and the resourcefulness of human creativity. Again, let me extend a warm welcome to all those attending this festive event. May the many attractions of this Fair provide a wonderful and exciting experience for each of you.

What lies ahead as you enter the site of The 1982 world's Fair will no doubt be an unforgettable experience for you and your family. For the first time, a world's fair — in the tradition of great international expositions in Paris, London, New York, Chicago, Brussels, Osaka, St. Louis, San Francisco and Seattle — is being staged in the Southeastern united States. Those of us who make our homes in this part of the country are proud that the world is coming here to visit and are pleased that you are among the visitors. The 1982 world's Fair has been in the works for seven years — years that have been some high peaks as well as some low valleys; but we think the 184 days between May 1 and Oct. 31 will make all the tireless efforts by so many dedicated people very worthwhile indeed. Seeing this event completed, successful, and people, such as yourself, enjoying it is certainly the highest high of them all. On behalf of the thousands of people who are The 1982 world's Fair, welcome, we hope you take with you many unforgettable memories of this once-in-a-lifetime event.

welcome to Tennessee. I know you will enjoy and never forget the excitement of The 1982 world's Fair taking place in Knoxville from May 1 to Oct. 31,1982. The world has come to Knoxville for six months. We want to share with you this international arena of culture, fun and excitement. we also are eager to share all of Tennessee with you. People like to visit us. More people visit the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park than any other park in the united States. Millions more then go on to Nashville, Chattanooga and Memphis to hear Tennessee music, to enjoy our scenery and to experience our warm hospitality. people like to live here. Rand McNally's new "Places Rated Almanac" picked our state's three largest cities among the best metropolitan places to live in the United States. Knoxville was 11th of 277. Enjoy the world at the Fair. Take time to enjoy Tennessee, too. Four and a half million Tennesseans join me in saying; We're glad you're here.

When you pass through the entry gates of The 1982 world's Fair, you will become part of an event which we hope will be an adventure of a lifetime. More than 20 countries, 50 major corporations and some 5,000 employees will be giving their best to see that yours is a great experience. What does it take to make a world's fair? in 1975, permission was sought to hold a world's Fair in Knoxville, Tenn. — a world's fair that would have energy as its central theme. Approval was finally granted by the Bureau of International Expositions, Paris, France in 1977. Then the search for location, financing and participants began. Thousands of volunteers and a dedicated staff led the way to make the search successful. After seven years of hard work, then, here it is: The 1982 World's Fair for you to enjoy. Welcome, and thank you for sharing with us the excitement of creating an historical event.

I take great pride in welcoming our neighbors from across the united States and the world to The 1982 world's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. I have supported this monumental undertaking from its inception and am delighted to have you join with us in exploring the future, in celebrating our past, and in enjoying the excitement, the entertainment, the color and drama of this great world's fair. For many years, East Tennessee has been known as the Energy Capital of the Country. As the home of Oak Ridge National Laboratories, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the university of Tennessee — an academic center of energy research — it certainly deserves the title. Now as Knoxville hosts the world at this energy-themed exposition, few will dispute its claim as Energy Capital of the world. As a representative of the people of Tennessee and a lifelong resident of the Knoxville region, l again welcome you to The 1982 world's Fair.

"Energy Turns the world" is the theme of The 1982 World's Fair. It was chosen as a counterpoint to that negative catch phrase of the 1970s — the "Energy Crisis," a doom-and-gloom projection that cast the world into a shadowy and uncertain future. Through focusing on the energy question and the creative energy of humankind, the Fair will demonstrate that tomorrow can bring new answers and a new quality of life. Energy touches every aspect of life — whether it is the production of food or the manufacture of products. Despite this dependence, people are often unaware of energy's major role in their lives due to the separation of the common man from high technology and manufacturing processes. This tends to engender a sense of isolation...a feeling that energy problems are remote and beyond one's control. The 1982 world s Fair, by giving a new understanding of energy, its wiser use and more efficient production, can help, it can help promote new and higher standards of life in less developed countries while maintaining high standards in nations that now enjoy them. Knoxville is an especially appropriate site for a world's fair with an energy theme. One of the world's great energy centers, it is home of the Tennessee valley Authority, the nation's largest public utility; the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the university of Tennessee, which conducts extensive energy research. These institutions, along with the U.S. Department of Energy and a number of leading national corporations, are joining the Fair in sponsoring an international energy symposia series designed to spawn new solutions to the world's energy problems. The three-part series brings together a body of international experts to analyze and define energy problems, to consider energy options and to reach a consensus on those with greatest promise for the future. Every world's fair — from the first in London in 1851 to the most recent in Spokane, wash, in 1974 — has been marked by innovations in science, the arts, architecture and commerce. The 1867 world's Fair in Paris introduced aluminum and natural gas heat, as well as the first ice cream soda and the first department store. Inventors displayed the telephone, typewriter and elevator at The 1876 world's Fair in Philadelphia. Exhibitors demonstrated television for the first time to the public in The 1939 world s Fair in New York City. History may be made again in Knoxville. By providing a showcase where nations, states, industries and organizations may address the energy concerns of humankind, The 1982 World's Fair marks a turning point in the understanding of energy.

The international Energy Symposia Series is the principal educational activity of The 1982 world's Fair and serves as the energy cornerstone for the Fair. The purposes of the Symposia Series is to provide the opportunity for experts in energyrelated areas to identify and discuss crucial energy issues, to explore factors and inter-relationships involved in a world-wide transition to higher energy productivity, to evaluate current international energy policies, and to formulate constructive solutions for increasing energy productivity in the way that energy is produced, converted and consumed. Symposium l Symposium l was conducted Oct. 1417,1980. Representatives from 55 nations focused on defining the nature and extent of the world energy problem. Four fundamental issues were addressed: • world Energy Productivity and Production: The Nature of the problem » Improving world Energy Productivity and Production: The Role of Technology • Toward an Efficient Energy Future;

Critical Paths, Conflicts and constraints • Alternative Policies for improved Energy Productivity and Production

special topic presentations on Alternative Energy Futures, international institutional Arrangements, and integration of work sessions. Based on this analytical discussion and integration process, recommendations and resolutions were made for Symposium ill.

our land, and huge land needs for solar collectors. This is not to say that these problems cannot be overcome, but managing them adds costs and risks that must be understood, evaluated and finally accepted realistically. The potentially most intractable environmental problem is the unacceptable world climate change that may be caused by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels in great quantity. This may effectively prevent us from using all our vast remaining fossil energy reserves. So how can the world deal with this threefold problem? The first major answer is conservation, using less energy. This does not mean living less comfortably; it means getting more use out of a given amount of energy by wasting less and using it more efficiently. It is accomplished by more fuel-efficient cars, better-insulated buildings, more efficient machines and appliances, less fertilizer and fuel-intensive agriculture, and the like. Higher prices have already caused much of this to happen in the united States, in the decade from 1970 to 1980, energy use rose less than half as much as the increase in the Cross National Product. Most experts believe that much more can still be achieved so that energy growth can continue to be slowed down. Here, each individual can do much to help since the ultimate result depends on millions of decisions and actions by home-owners, consumers and workers. The other part of the answer is new technology. The key concept is substitution — replacing scarce energy (oil and gas) with plentiful alternatives (uranium, deuterium, coal, oil shale and solar). This is where much of the scientific and technical challenges lie. This list barely scratches the surface. The energy future offers a limitless perspective of new technologies, new opportunities for involvement by all of us, new global interdependences, new ways of living in harmony with our earth. The 1982 world's Fair casts a light into that future by which we can glimpse its promise. Editor's note: Dr. E.G.

There is enough computer and electronic wizardry to fascinate both the serious student of energy and the inquisitive child. The S1.2 million IMAX film literally shows the "big picture" of America's energy resources and technology. This cinema spectacular, produced and directed by Oscar-winner Francis Thompson, is projected onto a screen 65 feet high and 90 feet wide. The 33 "talk-back" computers, placed throughout the five exhibit levels of the U.S. Pavilion, allow individuals to pursue the energy subjects that interest them most. Visitors are able to touch computer screens and call up either cinema or written information about a multitude of energy-related topics. More than 400 industrial films were carefully screened and edited for this project by Ramirez and woods, the Manhattan firm that designed the U.S. Pavilion's exhibits. Random-access programming of the computers provides a variety of subject sequences for visitors to call up. This new process was made possible by an integration of three sophisticated technologies: Sony of

America's laser discs, Apple Computer mc.'s software, and the "touchsensitive" video screens of Biographies, inc., an oak Ridge, Tenn. firm. All three corporations have loaned equipment to the U.S. Pavilion for the duration of the Fair. The S12.4 million U.S. Pavilion lies at the center of the 72-acre exposition site, visitors enter the pavilion on a spacious concourse between the main exhibit hall and the IMAX theater. They are then transported by escalators to the topmost of the five exhibit levels, through which they descend. in brief, the five exhibit levels will include the following: introduction The main element of this level is a curving time sculpture that illustrates the changing mix of energy resources in our history and the accelerating rate of their consumption. Geographical distribution of energy sources, both in the united States and around the globe, is depicted by changing images on map formats. Talk-back computers provide animated presentations of key energv terms, which give the viewers a frame of reference for the following exhibits. History Six public expositions from the American past are presented as chronological milestones. Depicted both pictorially and with artifacts, they summarize the changing roles of various energy resources in American history since the early 19th century. A battery of newscasts bring pavilion guests up-to-date on challenges to American energy developers and procedures. Transition On the third deck, visitors are immersed in a national energy debate presented on 20 video monitors. By pushing a button, visitors can bring to life a cross-section of Americans, who relate their opinions on energy issues. Overhead, at the center of the deck, a suspended light sculpture that portrays energy supply and demand serves as an introduction to the next two exhibit levels. Demand A glowing tower of light expresses the proportionate uses of energy in

four major areas: industry, home, transportation and commerce. Talkback computers illustrate "hidden energy" in an array of typical industrial and agricultural products by revealing the amount of energy needed to bring them from the state of raw materials to finished consumer items. Component parts of an automobile, provided by General Motors, show modern internal combustion technology. Visitors can

enter a transparent house to examine energy-conserving features that can be added to existing homes. Supply On the ground level, visitors are invited to examine, in more detail, video displays about nine major fields of energy production; coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, hydropower, biomass, geothermal, solar and other energy forms such as wind power.

Additionally, pertinent tools and artifacts from each of these industries are exhibited. On the whole, this exhibit will leave an impression that the united States is optimistic about its ability to meet its day-to-day and long-term energy requirements. All U.S. Pavilion exhibitry, including the IMAX film, are open to Fair visitors at no cost.

Country: Italy Language: Italian population: 57.217 million Area: 117,492 square miles The Italian Pavilion focuses on the contribution made in the past centuries by Italians in the field of sicence and technology as it relates to the production and transportation of energy, it also reviews the develop-

ment of renewable sources of energy. At the entrance of the Italian Pavilion, an exhibit is dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the first selfsustaining nuclear chain reaction which took place Dec. 2,1942, in Chicago during an experiment carried out by a small group of scientists led by the Italian physicist, Enrico Fermi. At the left-front of the Italian Pavilion, C(MR*-Pininfarina exhibits a full-size model of an automobile which was designed as part of a CNR research project "Aerodynamic improvements of vehicles." The pavilion is divided into four different sections: Production of energy included in this section are the CNEN scale model of its fuel-elements testing reactor, PEC; data on the worldwide activity of refining, exploration, and production for oil, gas, uranium and coal by ENl; a display of the nira reactor, "Superphenix;," and a look a the production of oil by EFIM. Transmission of energy The second section of the pavilion shows a scale model and panels of an experimental 1000k v electric transmission line built at Suvereto, Italy,

by ENEL using Pirelli cable; the townwide, house-heating plant with water heated in a single, central plant by FlNMECCANlCA; and ENl's glovegirdling network of gas pipelines. Renewable sources of energy Photovoltaic cells and geothermalpowered electric generation are the main focus of the DNEL display. Renewable energy sources are also featured in the geothermal, agroindustrial display and in the CNEN's exhibit of the TOKOMAK installation and the DELPHOS photovoltaic plant. FlNMECCANlCA showcases its miniature generating plant, reversible turbine hydroelectric plants, pioneering work on solar energy, and applications of photovoltaic cells. ELECTROCONSULT shows its largescale geothermal work in impregilo presents examples of their work. EFIM exhibts solar panels and a solarpowered boiler. The ENl presence in this section takes the form of nuclear and geothermal power, a solar-powered farm, desalinization, solar cells, aeolic power and an anaerobic digester. Energy saving FlNMECCANlCA ShOWS a COgeneration plant that uses waste heat from other plants and a modularengine by Alfa Romeo allowing differentiated use of fuel with savings in urban traffic of up to 20-50 per cent. EFIM exhibits light-weight railway rolling stock, a "Blue Flame" furnace and a heat-pump.

▥ Country: France Language: French Population: 53.71 million Area: 212,756 square miles A model of the world's fastest train, the "Bullet Train," and cars of the future are featured at the French Pavilion — a pavilion dedicated to conservation of energy and production of nuclear electricity. The exhibit, covering an inside area of 11,932 square feet and an outside area of 2,285 square feet, is near the pavilions of the united Kingdom and the European Economic Community. The exhibit stresses conservation gains made in recent years, in France energy conservation amounted to 13 percent of the total consumption in 1980 and it is expected to reach as high as 27 percent in 1990. This is the result of careful planning and research in different economic sectors. A section on transportation highlights the development of the Bullet Train, also known as the TCV, which goes as fast as 235 mph between Paris and Lyons. It has been calculated that the cost of tran-

sporting one passenger by the TCV is equivalent to the cost of fuel alone in carrying one passenger by air over the same distance (372 miles). This fantastic modernization of the railway system is shown in the exhibit as an electrified scale model. in the same vein, a life-size model of the car of the future is also displayed: the Renault eve economy research vehicle. Thanks to drastic improvement in air drag reduction (0.239) and advanced electronic control of engine and transmission, gasoline consumption figures achieved are 57 mpg at 56 mph and 43 mpg at 75 mph for this mediumsized sedan. Because France has always played a pioneering role in the field of natural sources of energy, a solar home model shows French techniques as well as lines of improvement currently being tested. The display of a reconstituted, and much faster, breeder-reactor illustrates France's head start in the nuclear-electro industry. Visitors are allowed to walk into the core of the reactor and can obtain information regarding the security measures adopted to maintain a very high production. Also on exhibit are models related to off-shore petroleum research. A gigantic map of France enlivened

with energy-related scenarios at their proper locations outlines the country's technological progress accomplished. under the map, a room equipped with an audio-visual system enables visitors to enjoy a technological tour of France. The ceiling of the room is built with mirrors in a fashion similar to solar panels to enhance and multiply the viewing of the map and its models. The French exhibit also houses several museum pieces to stress the importance of science to the arts. Two electric engines (one by Froment, the other by Pixii), evidence of the first technological achievements of the 19th century, are on permanent display. The governmental body in charge of the French Pavilion for The 1982 world's Fair is the "Direction des Relation Economiques Exterieures," part of the Department of the Ministry of the Economy.

Find more. Fusion power, the process that makes the sun and the stars burn, with no dangerous radioactive waste and no harmful pollution, has been called the ultimate answer to the world's energy problems. Its commercial application may not be feasible until early in the next century. In the experimental fusion program by General Atomic Company in southern California, Toshiba is responsible for supplying the key elements which make this process possible. Using natural steam from the interior of theearth to turn turbines, Toshiba makes more than half of the world's geothermal turbine generators, including those now in use in California at the Geysers, the world's largest geothermal power plant.

This allows the country to develop according to the existing plans. Mexico, a developing country, presents in its pavilion its accelerated rate of industrialization and production based on the energy resources. its hydrocarbon reserves are the main factor that placed the country in its present position. As hydrocarbons represent the

Country: Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Language: Arabic Population: 9.292 million Area: 873,000 square miles "Eternal values in a Dynamic Nation," the theme of the Saudi Arabian Pavilion, reflects both the continuity and development of Arab civilization. Young Saudis dressed in native garb guide visitors through the pavilion, which is easily recognized by its surrounding arches. Exhibit areas include islam; Bedouin Tradition and the Cradle of Civilization; industrial Development; Human Resources, and 50 Years of u.S.-Saudi Relations. From the prophet Abraham and his son ismael, the Arabs and a distinct Arabian civilization can be dated from 3,500 B.C. Ancient Arab cities were important commercial and cultural

centers along the trade routes that extended from Rome to Persia, and gave birth to an empire in the 7th century. Stimulated by the spiritual, moral and intellectual power of islam and its prophet Muhammad, the Arab people spread their civilization, language and religion around the world. Currently, Saudi Arabia's lightning-paced industrial and human development signals its re-emergence as an important influence in world political and economic affairs. Here is a closer look at these specific areas of the Saudia Arabian exhibit. Islam The centerpiece of the Saudi Arabian Pavilion is a 400-square-foot display featuring an animated model of the Grand Mosque of Mecca, it symbolizes the centrality of islam in Saudi Arabian life and historical experience. The Kaaba, a black cubeshaped building around which the mosque is built, is the focal point of the prayers of the world s 800 million Muslims and center for yearly

pilgrimage. Traditional society A second area of the pavilion focuses on the history of pre-lslamic Arabia, as well as the traditions and values of the Bedouin tribes of the Arabian desert. The Bedouin's life-anddeath struggle to survive in a harsh environment is given expression by his fierceness in combat — but also by his philosophical and aesthetic appreciation of life. This is reflected in various art forms, particularly the medium of poetry. U.S.-Saudi relations U.S. technology and experience have figured largely in Saudi development, as highlighted in the final exhibit area, u.S.-Saudi Relations. Cooperation and friendship, based on strong commercial and financial ties, have characterized dealings between the two nations, in a part of the world that is politically and geographically strategic, Saudi Arabia's interests coincide with those of the united States in ensuring political moderation and stability in the region.

The maple leaf is also the basis for the pavilion logo echoed in neon sculptures on the entry deck. The pavilion introduces the challenges faced by Canadians in attempting to secure their energy future. Exhibits have been grouped into two areas divided by a cinema. The first area introduces visitors to the "megaprojects" of Canadian energy development, while the cinema provides a humorous interlude and transition to the second exhibit area where energy matters have been reduced to the human scale. The megaprojects of Canada are faced with extremes of ice. cold and rugged terrain which challenge Canadians and their technology. The sources of Canadian energy are displayed on a dramatic, computerized neon map, while an adjacent Telidon videotex unit gives visitors hands-on access to in-depth energy information. The oil sands and Arctic Beaufront sea and Hibernia oil and gas projects are also shown, along with vast hydroelectric developments and regenerative nuclear technologies. Once extracted and generated, these forms of energy require efficient and economical transportation across Canada's 3.8 million square miles. This process is depicted in an unusual and visually exciting "theme wall" showing hydroelectric transmission, pipelines, power grids, rail

The cinema presents an animated view of energy consumption and conservation starring Nelson Permafrost and his trusty dog Rollo, along with Dr. Now and his sidekick, Felix. in the third area of the pavilion, the story of Canada's search for alternative energy sources unfolds as visitors watch a working 22-foot model of the world's largest wind turbine. Since North Americans are seeking ways to improve energy efficiency in homes and cars, two special exhibits — "The House" and "The Car" — as 38 The 1982 world s Fair Official Guidebook

Great ideas know no boundaries. A prime example of this is the worldfamous Rubik's cube, a masterpiece of clever but maddening ingenuity. Having dispensed fun and frustration among people everywhere, this puzzle-lover's dream is the centerpiece of the Hungarian Pavilion, the cube's country of origin. As visitors approach the pavilion's colorful facade, their eyes will be immediately drawn to a large, transparent Rubik's cube at its center. Seated in the cube's interior is a Husser — or Hungarian caviler — who makes an imposing picture as he cradles The 1982 world's Fair flame in his hand.

The Hungarian People's Republic wants to present to the world a view of the Hungary that has contributed immeasurably to the development of human culture, it also wants to show a Hungary whose up-to-date technical standards are ready for expansion into foreign markets. The first section of the pavilion offers visitors a glimpse of the many famous Hungarian artists and scientists who have distinguished themselves throughout history. Through original documents and photos, such fascinating people as Todor karman (the father of supersonic flight) and Jamos Irinyi (inventor of the match) are introduced and old friends like Liszt and Bartok are revisited. A second section of the pavilion concentrates on the Hungarian energy industry. Here, a panorama of technology is presented, including a mock-up of the "Gagarin" thermal power station, a model of "Thorez" surface mining, and energy-saving ideas used in agriculture.

Here, visitors can watch live demonstrations by Chinese artisans as well. Gastronomically, the Chinese pavilion offers a unique opportunity for western diners. A sit-down restaurant in the building is operated by leading Peking chefs who will supervise the preparation of dishes usually not available to Americans. There is also a cafeteria-style annex for visitors with less time to spare. A crowning touch to this wealth of wonders is entertainment. Leading artists from China will perform throughout the summer for the enjoyment of exhibition visitors. 40 The 1982 world's Fair Official Guidebook

One of the last international pavilions to be contracted for The

1982 world s Fair is the Republic of the Philippines. Made famous during world War II, the Philippines is now a rapidly industrializing nation, devoted to the manufacture and processing of agricultural products. Energy and energy conservation are major factors in the national environment today as in the past when the government participated directly in construction of hydroelectric plants.

Agriculture, forestry, fisheries and mining are the country's main products. On July 4, 1946, the commonwealth ended and the Republic of the Philippines came into existence.

Country; Egypt Language: Arabic Population: 38.9 million Area: 386,100 square miles Egypt, a country rich in tradition, mythology and biblical history, is represented at The 1982 world s Fair with an exhibit of treasures from its earliest civilization through modern days. The exhibit, on the south end of the fairgrounds in the same building as

the Republic of China Pavilion, includes treasures from the pharonic dynasties, the Greco-Roman period, Egyptian Christian era, the islamic age and modern Egypt, it may be more culturally meaningful than the King Tutankhamen exhibition that visited six U.S. cities several years ago. The exhibit is the first of its kind in the united States in modern times. Egypt, under the late President Anwar Sadat, its future and items from the era of Pharoah Ramses n — as well as the period Mary and Joseph spent in the country — are highlights. The 1982 world's Fair executives believe this exhibit will have a similar impact as the King Tut display of 1977.

^ness Knoxville's Health Pavilion, sponsored by the host city of The 1982 World's Fair, provides an environment where health and well-being are the major concerns. As visitors enter the comfortcontrolled, vinyl-clad dome supported by a geodisic-patterned metal frame, they begin an experience that may affect the remainder of their lives. Visitors have their choice of circling the many exhibits or walking straight ahead where they will encounter Hospital Corp. of America's "Health Care Pyramid." This spectacular anchor exhibit occupies 1,500 square feet and features a multimedia show embodying an entirely new concept. Pictures, words and music come from every angle on four hexagonal screens, presenting the history of health care in this nation and what it means to individuals in the future. Visitors can also converse with five interactive computers, one of which is especially designed for children, armed with multitude of facts related to their personal health. By punching in a few vital statistics, individuals learn their life expectancy. If they have a chronic illness, they can find out from the computer if they're taking proper care of themselves, based on a huge bank of data about people in the same condition. Satisifed that they now have some important information tucked away, visitors can walk over to the Fort Sanders Medical Center/Datamation exhibit. Here they'll find out how to take a week off and slip away to a delightful "wellness" center. Then they can slip into a comfortable chair and rest while they are encompassed in a cuff that automatically takes their blood pressure and prints the results before their eyes. Medical technicians, there for the sole purpose of informing and advising visitors, will be happy to answer any questions. If interested in a total health profile, forms can be picked up and mailed to Datamation from home. Results will be returned promptly. Another "must-see" exhibit is the Southeastern Organ Procurement Foundation/American Kidney Fund

Gas Energy Exhibit

Baptist Ministries

Rising dramatically skyward, a 55foot blue and silver pyramid encompasses the 5,000-square-foot Gas Energy Pavilion. in the past, the pyramid was the ancient Egyptian symbol of a sunburst, the original source of almost all energy. The lightweight, sleek form of the pyramid-shaped space frame represents the future through its use of the latest high technology as well. inside is the natural gas industry exhibit — 3,000 square feet of sophisticated, audience-participation exhibit technology that details in an educational and highly interesting manner, all phases of gas energy. The exhibit is open for public viewing from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. An added attraction is a live energy show "Gasworks: Pipeline to the Future," developed by the Oak Ridge Associated universities under a grant from the American Gas Association and presented courtesy of the Tennessee Gas Association. The show is featured throughout the day directly outside of the Gas Energy Pavilion. America's largest domesticallyproduced energy is natural gas. It's also our cleanest and most efficient. To tell the story of natural gas — its role today and its future promise — the Gas Energy Pavilion will feature an array of state-of-the-art audience participation exhibits.

in the shadow of a 40-foot carillon tower in the center of the Fair is the Southern Baptist Pavilion, operated by Baptist Ministries. The 3,500-square-foot structure features a theater and display area to show fairgoers that "The word is...Energy." This 30-minute program illustrating the energy of cod's word, includes a multi-image presentation and a live musical, offered daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Performances by choirs from across the united States are also scheduled on most days. The musical, "Love, You Spoke A Word," is written by ken Medema of San Francisco and Craig MclNiair Wilson of New York City. Medema is a blind Southern Baptist composer and entertainer. Wilson is a Christian entertainer and writer. The performing group, Powersource, is comprised of 16 singers chosen from auditions conducted across the nation. A highlight of the exhibit area is an antique display case holding Bibles of America's first Bible publisher, AJ. Holman & Co. The case, on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, received the First Premium Award at The 1876 Philadelphia international Exhibition. Scriptures in some 50 languages will be among materials distributed at the pavilion. The solar-powered carillon, provided by Schulmerich carillon, inc. of Sellersville, Pa., is an interesting exhibit in itself. Visitors can actually see some of the mechanical operation of this musical instrument at the base of the tower. The pavilion is topped by a canvas canopy featuring a design of the Christian flag. Its stained-glass window, made by Jess Bemis, a Southern Baptist pastor from Greentown, ind., features the logo of the Southern Baptist Convention. This national fellowship is composed of 14 million members in nearly 36,000 churches in 50 states, it is represented in 95 countries by persons working in evangelism and church growth, theological education, hospital, schools, publication centers, agricultural projects, social work, hunger and disaster relief, benevolent

Sources of Gas Energy Gas energy is a natural resource available from a wide variety of sources. The multiplicity of gas energy sources and their availability to the consumer through an integrated delivery network is a story of paramount importance. To guarantee visitor attention to this story, one of the largest energy dioramas in museum use recreates a vast topographic landscape in miniature three-dimensional form. Gas Strike The primary function of this exhibit is to identify the aspects of gas exploration and production, and to focus on the costs and risks involved. Related displays show the relationship between gas and oil drilling, and technologies. To convey these messages, a 35-foot drilling rig is set in place at the center of the pavilion. Surrounding the rig is a series of electronic video games on which

the pipeline system.

The Fiame and Energy Efficiency The blue flame is the visible endproduct of the most efficient and cleanest fuel we have — the trademark of the gas energy industry. To dramatically represent just how much energy that blue flame accounts for each minute, a speciallydesigned chamber allows visitors to study the properties of a flame. A surrounding display of computerprecise "energy time clocks" tracks minute by minute, season by season, the exact amounts of energy provided by the blue gas flame.

Role of Gas Gas is the largest single source of energy for meeting America's residential, commercial and industrial needs. Because of its benefits, nearly 180 million Americans rely upon the direct use of gas for meeting some part of their individual energy needs. The lives of all Americans are touched by gas energy because somewhere in the production of almost everything we use, and almost everything we eat, gas energy plays a role. This fact is emphasized dramatically in the exhibit by a large crystalline case filled with objects we use that rely upon gas.

in the Pipeline The million mile gas energy pipeline is an invaluable energy asset deserving of particular attention, to draw that attention, an over-sized portion of the pipeline system is reproduced. Visitors are able to walk into the middle of this pipeline and be surrounded by a startling visual display. The "gas" in this system is in the form of brightly-colored laser lights that activate audio messages briefly stating pertinent facts about

The Future The role of gas in the future is rich with potential, to help us peer into this energy future, and to link it with the opening display, holograms are again used in the exhibit. These holograms are mounted on a series of glass pylons and center on present and anticipated advances in appliance and equipment technology, natural gas-powered vehicles, and future sources of gas.

For many cars, such lavish praise might be impossible to live up to. But not for this car. The Audi Coupe is, clearly, the quintessential Gran Turismo Sports Coupe. In naming it the best sports coupe for the 80s, the editors of Road & Track are not alone. Motor Trend:"... we'd have to call it the most ferociously desirable new car in 1981." Car and Driver: The Coupe is " . .. one of the most effective remedies yet, for

creeping four-door boredom." From the drawing boards in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Audi engineers have created a car that truly advances the art of GT Coupes. In sleek, good looks and aerodynamics, it is second to none. In engineering, the Coupe offers Audi's matchless front-wheel drive, fivecylinder powerplant (0-50 in 7.4) and a tenacious road-holding ride. The interior is first-class European GT styling.

This seven to nine-minute production also presents aspects of Black life affected by energy factors today. The main theater accommodates more than 4,000 visitors daily. At the conclusion of the Fair, nearly 750,000 people will have had the opportunity to view the exhibit.

Thousands of visitors from around the world have been coming to Knoxville and Tennessee valley since the 1930s to see and study regional resource development in action. it was here, almost 50 years ago, that one of the most dramatic experiments in American government began with the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority. This unique government agency has pioneered the economic revival of the sevenstate Tennessee Valley region and has inspired development programs to help improve living standards around the world. The story of TVA begins with the river, and its telling takes place appropriately on two river barges moored on the Tennessee River at the south end of The 1982 world s Fair site. in exhibits mounted on the barges, visitors see the TVA story unfold — from helping farm families of past generations secure electricity for the first time to helping 500,000 families today learn how they can use electricity more efficiently. The theme of TVA's 10,000-squa refoot exhibit is "The valley Adventure." Visitors retrace life as it existed in the Tennessee valley of the 1930s and the programs undertaken by TVA and the people to reclaim the land, the river and the region's economic vitality. They also get a feel for the massive plants, towers, power lines and fuel supplies that have helped meet the electrical energy needs of this growing, industrializing region. A simulated power system load control center, featuring video games, will enable visitors to try their hand at matching energy demands with available supply. Other exhibits show the "hows" and "whys" of energy conservation and solar applications. An adventure theater provides the setting for live presentations about a number of ongoing TVA activities. TVA employees and retirees are on board to answer questions and help visitors as they tour the floating exhibits. Before leaving the barges, visitors also have the opportunity to sign up for a trip to one of TVA's nearby dams and power plants. These tours are conducted each Monday through Friday, from approximately 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Tour buses leave daily from the TVA Towers, at 400 w.

Cathedralite, Step through the door of the "Home of the Future" and become a part of the 21st century. Presented by Cathedralite, inc. and South Central Bell, this 2,500-squarefoot home shows dramatically how modern technology can be used to create a handsome family home. A home that is not only energyefficient, but safe, secure, comfortable and virtually maintenancefree. Cathedralite has designed the domed home for aesthetic appeal, complete with landscaping to complement its exterior design. A reflective roof and skylights increase the already highly-efficient passive solar and photovoltaic capabilities of the home. Exquisitely designed exterior openings and canopies are not only pleasing to the eye, but functional, since they reduce energy demand. inside the home, south central Bell combines the most recent phones and services with futuristic technology to demonstrate how the customer might one day communicate in the home environment. An experimental system, developed by Bell Laboratories, shows how a teleterminal (a marriage of the telephone and the computer) can assist with such family tasks as planning a menu for an entire week. This demonstrates how future phones will help with family needs such as recordkeeping, handling bank transactions and maintaining appointment calendars — all with the touch of a few buttons. This design home is furnished by Pennsylvania House, manufacturer of fine furniture. Floors are by Armstrong's no-wax Solarian and Armstrong carpeting. KitchenAid provides the dishwasher, trash compactor and instant hot water dispenser. Carrier heating and cooling is provided by Andrews Distributing and installed by A.A.

STOKELY VAN CAMP

Most people probably have never heard of oil shale, but it is not new. American pioneers crossing Colorado in the 1800s learned about oil shale from the Ute Indians, who called it "the rock that burns." The pioneers found many uses for the oil produced from shale — from lighting campfires to greasing their wagon wheels and preserving leather. Oil shale was formed millions of years ago by deposits of fossilized plants, small animals, clay, limestone and sand. Oil shale rock contains "kerogen," an oil precursor trapped between its layers. This kerogen can be freed from the shale when it is heated to about 900 degrees. The oil released from the shale during this process is called shale oil, which looks much like natual petroleum and has similar physical characteristics. Like petroleum, shale oil can be upgraded and refined to produce many petroleum byproducts, including jet fuel and gasoline. The richest deposits of oil shale in the world lie in an area known as the Green River Formation in the high desert plateaus of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, within this tri-state area are almost 1.8 trillion barrels of shale oil or two-and-one-half times the proven reserves of the Free world. In keeping with the theme of the Fair, "Energy Turns the world," Tenneco, inc. and Occidental Petroleum Corp. are jointly sponsoring an 11,040square-foot exhibit dramatizing the production of oil from shale. Commenting on occidental's involvement in the fair, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Armand Hammer said, "it is our preception that few people know about oil shale and the technology for extracting oil from it. It is our purpose in participating in this exhibit to better inform the public and government about this domestic resource and our nation s need to utilize it."

The educational exhibit which focuses on the two companies' application of Occidental's Modified inSitu (MIS) process for retorting shale, consists of a film and a photo display housed in three structures. The exhibit's sur.ounding landscape is composed of some oil shale rock brought in from Colorado. Additional oil shale rock is from Tennessee. The combination of futuristic architecture and a rustic, rocky environment creates an intreging contrast. The structures in the exhibit were designed by the Chicaco-based Design investigations Croup and are part of Tenneco's contribution to the project. The first part contains mural-sized photos taken at Tenneco's and Occidental's shale oil project site in Colorado. A guide will highlight the tour with information about the project. The second part of the exhibit, a simulated mine drift, has been painstakenly recreated to represent the real thing. The drift leads to a geodesic-dome theater, where a film on the production of shale oil will be shown. The 10-minute film, into the 21st Century is Occidental's contribution to the exhibit and was written, produced and directed by its in-house film company, Armand Hammer Productions. The film contains footage of the sponsor's oil shale project site in Colorado, it uses animation and special effects to add impact.

J

J.L. Kettlesen, chairman and chief executive officer of Tenneco, said "The fair will be an appropriate showcase for the 21st century technology we and Occidental are using in the development of supplemental energy for the future." Cathedral Bluff Shale Oil Co., the Tenneco-Occidental equal partnership, has been developing an underground mine on a 5,094-acre federal lease of the "C-b tract" in Northwestern Colorado. Tenneco, a diversified company, is headquartered in Houston, in 1981, the company derived nearly 80 percent of its operating income from energy operations, with major activity in oil and gas exploration and production, natural gas transportation, chemicals, construction and farm equipment, ship building, agriculture and land management, automotive components, packaging and life insurance. Occidental Petroleum Corp., headquartered in Los Angeles, is the largest independent oil producer worldwide. Through diversification into chemicals, coal, minerals and agribusiness operations, it has grown into approximately the 15th largest U.S. industrial corporation among the Fortune 500.

and pictures collected by Dunn from 1947 to 1976. For many years Dunn traveled with this display, bringing to tiny life such great shows as Sparks, Hagenbach-wallace, and Al c. Barnes among others. The tour proceeds through a facsimile of a main circus entrance which opens into a big theater room. There, on a surface measuring 30 feet by 64 feet, is a scale model of a circus as it would look on a city lot. Complete in every detail, this Lilliputian spectacle is displayed for the wonderment of all. Since 1955, this masterpiece has been the work of Howard Tibbals, executive vice president of Hartco. Each piece has been hand-carved with care and precision. And the ferocious demeanor of a caged lion is as realistic as the painted canvas of the side show and the trapeze riggings in the Big Top. Seven thousand tiny chairs fold and load into miniature circus wagons. Their respective labors of love brought Dunn and Tibbals together in 1958 and was the motivating force behind this tiny, but terrific world s fair exhibit.

Church of Christ while visitors to The 1982 world's Fair are enjoying the marvels of today's technology and the promise of tomorrow s new developments, the Churches of Christ will present an exhibit highlighting the ultimate source of energy and personal strength; cod. This exhibit focuses on his word, his love and his will for the world. This message is presented in a 1,500square-foot, two-level exhibit in the Lifestyle and Technology Center. The exhibit s theme is "Energy for Life; God's Love...Person to Person." Through this exhibit, the church hopes many will discover that cod is the energy that "turns the world" and that his love can power their lives. The exhibit logo symbolizes cod's energy reaching down to man, and man reaching to accept all that cod has for him. The exhibit is divided into four main areas; "Cod's Love," "The Bible," "Family/Relationships," and

<2*

"The Church." Each area is designed to show that there are answers to life's questions — that Cod cares about his creation. The exhibit features electronic teaching computers which give instant answers to visitors' Bible questions. Trained staff members are

also at the exhibit to help those who may desire more in-depth study. The Churches of Christ world's Fair exhibit was developed under the supervision of the elders of the Laurel Church of Christ in Knoxville with help from sister congregations and individuals throughout the world.

The Aluminum industry Wind — the free, clean and inexhaustible source of energy — has provided power since the 4th century when Persians used windmills to help in grinding grain. Today, wind power is again becoming a source of energy use as the Aluminum Industry's vertical-axis wind turbine exhibit demonstrates. Based on a design patented by GJ. Darrieus in 1925, the turbine uses curved rotor blades, attached to a rotating vertical tower which allows it to accept wind from any direction. A motor at the base is used to start the turbine; thereafter, the wind must blow to keep it operating. Average annual wind speeds of 14 miles an hour are needed for low-cost, energy production. Aluminum also continues to perform many vital, energy-saving functions. It delivers electricity. It saves fuel in cars and trucks, it clads many skyscrapers, helps preserve food and contains beverages. Perhaps aluminum's greatest energy-saving attribute, however, is its recyclability. Aluminum can be used repeatedly, saving 95 percent of the energy otherwise needed to make new metal from ore. The Aluminum industry exhibit was made possible by grants from the following aluminum companies: ALCOA, Reynolds, Anaconda, Kaiser, Howmet, Noranda and National Aluminum.

But there is a very serious purpose to all that fun and fellowship. The 21 Shrine Hospitals throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico provide specialized medical services to crippled and burned children absolutely free, regardless of race, religion or relationship to a Shriner. The nearly one million Shriners of North America share membership in

the Masonic Order and a deep conviction that the most valuable asset imaginable is the smile on a child's face. visitors and their families will gain life-saving information as they walk through a display showing the most dangerous burn hazards and how to correct them. Ninety percent of all children's burns occur in the home, and visitors may be surprised where the dangers are waiting. Knowledge from the Shriners Burns institutes may be the most important thing visitors bring home from the Fair. They may also be suprised at what Will Rogers, John Wayne, Bart Starr and Franklin Roosevelt have in common. They all are, or were, Shriners who made generations of children smile. These men and many other famous Shriners from show business, sports and history are featured along with their personal memorabilia in the exhibit's Hall of Smiles.

This concept vehicle, a two-passenger sporty urban car, is capable of operating on natural gas or methane — the same fuel used to heat houses. it can be refueled at home using a small compressor. Although this vehicle is slightly more expensive than a comparable gasoline-fueled car, it is cheaper in the longrun since it costs substantially less to operate from a fuel standpoint. Ford Motor Co. has been evaluating alternative fuels suitable for motor vehicles for a number of years. Research indicates no insurmountable technological issues which would prevent an eventual use of these fuels in conventional internal combustion engines. in addition to the AFV, there are a number of cars and trucks on display at the Ford exhibit. Among these is a cut-away model of the 1982 Ford Escort and an actual 1982 Ford Escort, 1983 Ranger compact pick-up truck and the new propane-powered Granada.

Domestic Exhibit For generations, Holiday Beach America's undiscovered vacation secret — Northern Florida and the Mississippi Gulf coast — is the subject of the Holiday Beach Resorts exhibition in the lifestyle and Technology Center. Entitled, "Your Place in the Sun," the presentation addresses itself to vacation opportunities in Northern Florida and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and introduces the new concept of "timesharing" to the vacationing public. The Holiday Beach Resorts exhibit is more than 2,000 square feet, it includes a reception area, a 44-person capacity theater, and a vacation consulting area for visitors. The 12-minute entertainment and informational audio-visual spectacular runs continuously each day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The presentation uses 18 projectors and a stereo speaker system created especially for Holiday Beach Resorts. The show tells the largely untold vacation story of Northwest Florida and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The beautiful white beaches, the public attractions and the many other recreational opportunities available in the area are revealed, including sports fishing, snorkeling and swimming. Holiday Beach Resorts, a subsidiary of windham Co., is developing, marketing and managing timeshare condominiums in Pensacola Beach, Destin, Sandestin and Panama City, Florida and Biloxi, Miss. in addition to introducing these properties, the audio-visual presentation educates and informs more

than 350,000 visitors to America's fastest-growing vacation phenomenon, timesharing, the newest and most economical trend in long-term vacation planning. The multi projector and sound show depicts the total holiday ambiance of the area and the resort, from the luxurious family appointed condominiums and the green waters of the gulf, to the top-rated golf courses and grass tennis courts.

And because the timeshare concept allows resort exchanges, the show also features scenes from the more than 500 national and international timeshare locations. Modern graphics and huge photographic murals compliment the Holiday Beach Resort exhibition reception area. There also are models of the properties and printed literature about the vacation attractions. More than 100 Holiday Beach Resort employees are staffing the exhibit to provide additional information and help to Fair visitors. The exhibit was designed and produced by Windham Co. specifically for The 1982 world's Fair.

Greyhound Lines is something of a tradition at world's fairs. Since 1933, Greyhound has carried several million travelers to and from a variety of these fabulous exhibitions that have been staged in the united States during the past 50 years. The tradition began when Greyhound was named the official motorcoach carrier for The 1933 "Century of Progress" Fair in Chicago. This was the fair that wowed the world with such exciting inventions as X-ray machines and dial telephones, to say nothing of Sally Rand's famous fan dance — at the time an invention in its own right. The 1933 fair proved to be a benchmark for Greyhound in yet another way, for it was there that Greyhound introduced a prototype of its Super coach — the first streamlined, engine-in-the-rear bus, a vehicle that would revolutionize the inter-city bus industry. Just a few years later, at the twin fairs staged in New York and San Francisco in 1939, the world had a glimpse of such things as robots that could walk and talk, atomsmashing cyclotrons, and television sets. For its part, Greyhound offered a $60.95 round-trip fare from New York to the City by the Bay, and many Americans took the opportunity to cruise across the country in a Super

Coach and combine coast-to-coast sightseeing with visits to both fairs. At the 1964 New York world's Fair, Greyhound's innovations in transportation technology reached another high point, in keeping with the automation and Space Age themes of the fair, Greyhound thrilled fairgoers with its own version of futuristic transport. As for the more practical aspect of its participation, Greyhound organized a separate company, aptly named Greyhound at the world's Fair, inc., that provided full transportation, sightseeing, guide and information services on the fairgrounds. Visitors to The 1982 world's Fair will see still another dazzling display of technological advancement made throughout the world. For Greyhound, as the official motorcoach carrier of The 1982 World's Fair, it means the continuation of its long association with America's great world's fairs. Above, packaged tours combining transportation, lodging and admissions — a travel industry innovation — were introduced by Greyhound at Chicago's 1933 Century of Progress world's Fair. Bottom, Greyhound at the world's Fair, inc., built a 60passenger Clide-A-Ride to provide sightseeing and shuttle transportation throughout the 1964 New York world's Fair.

Lay's Co. started in Knoxville in 1913 as a retail meat market, in 1920, it became a full-line meat processor, beginning operation on Jackson Avenue, only a mile from the Fair site. Today, the plant covers nearly two square blocks and is one of the most

modern in the nation. The Lay's name appears on every company product. Third and fourth generation members of the family are still actively involved in the company. Lay's meats are the Official Meats of The 1982 world's Fair. The products so chosen include: Lay's famous hams, which are hickory smoked for as many as 15 hours; Lay's bologna and lunch meats; Lay's bacon; Ole Timer sausage, new recipe that enhances old-time farm-fresh flavor; Touchdown Franks; and 3 Little Pigs Wieners.

The center is open and staffed during the Fair's hours of operation, it is in House No. B on 11th Street. Cerber Baby Foods, the favorite of three generations, are the Official Baby Foods of the Fair. They are available in all restaurants on the Fair site and at commissaries on the exhibition grounds.

General Electric, one of the world's best known companies, proudly presents one of the world's best known musical groups, Up with People, in special appearances during The 1982 world s Fair.

Up With People has traveled to more than 42 nations in 10 years. Performances have been made before factory workers, royal families, heads of industry, school children, the sick and the aged.

A non-profit, educational program, Up With People was created to build understanding and communication among people, cultures and countries while giving young people a unique learning experience. Each year about 7,000 students apply for the program. General Electric is pleased to renew its long association with up with People for this special Knoxville presentation. CE employs more than 28,000 persons at plants and offices in 135 cities throughout the Southeast.

overhead, visitors to the "Century of Progress" Exposition in Chicago in 1933 stepped up to the "Fountain of Light" and, for a nickel, enjoyed the "pause that refreshes." At The 1964 New York world's Fair, 24,000 people a day toured reproductions of the Taj Mahal, Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro. And they all found that things go better in the "World of Refreshment" with CocaCola. Amid futuristic buildings and electronic fantasy, visitors to Expo 70

in Osaka, Japan relaxed in the American Park and lifted a welcome toast to the "real thing." Visitors to The 1982 world's Fair will find the familiar red and white label of Coca-Cola, as well as tab, sprite and Mello Yello at specially-designed kiosks about the site. The Official soft Drink of The 1982 world's Fair, Coca-Cola is familiar to foreign visitors and Americans alike. It is now sold in 145 countries, making it the most popular soft drink in the world.

Stokley-van Of the many wonderful resources found in the south-central Appalachian region, the people and their folkways lay claim to being the richest of all. The Stokley Folklife Festival is a celebration of these folkways, presenting the incredible variety of artistic expression through music, dance, storytelling, foodways, craft, sculpture and painting. The plaza of the Folklife Festival is surrounded by many different areas, each with its own special theme. The small amphitheater on the west side stages many workshops featuring vocal styles, storytelling, instrumental styles, dance classes and audience participation activities. The large amphitheater to the north offers concerts including blues, gospel, bluegrass, country, string bands, and solo performances throughout the entire day. A sculpture garden celebrating the

camp ingenuity and artistic expression of regional folk artists can be found behind the large elm tree at the east end of the plaza, a shady place to catch your breath, inside the historic L & N Hotel there is a craft exhibition area and gallery space, plus an audiovisual room with films, slide-tape shows and video tapes covering a variety of subjects on the region and its people. There are two restaurants, a tavern and the Folklife Shop, too.

So many ingredients are necessary to create the breathtaking spectacle of color, pageantry and international flair that is ultimately a world's fair.

Be sure to take some pictures of the natural titles that are all around — signs, posters, etc. Throughout the fairgrounds you'll find especially photogenic locations indicated with a ohoto spot sign. At night, the lights will register just fine, but flash may be necessary for overall good exposure. Whenever flash is used, be sure to keep within normal flash distances.

this Fair is big. A closing shot of a sleepy-eyed child in mom's arms relates without woi ds that this was a full day of fun. Arrange your pictures, slides and movies in a logical story-telling sequence. • This is the story of you and your family at the Fair, so: include family and friends in the foreground of many of your pictures. Take some close-ups. The expression of awe or sheer joy on a youngster's face will be treasured for years to come. Ask a stranger now and then to use your camera and take a picture of all of you. Don't be missing from the story because you took all the pictures. (And, don't forget to offer to use the stranger's camera to take a picture of his/her group for their records). • Whenever you are ready to take a picture, pause for a just a second, would this shot be better as a vertical or horizontal picture? would the composition be better if taken from a few feet to one

Stroh Brewery Co. For anyone familiar with world's fairs and expositions, the presence of the Stron Brewery Co. at The 1982 World's Fair should come as no surprise. The Stroh's name is synonomous with at least four such regional, national and international celebrations, here and abroad, since 1887. Now, Stroh's is making its mark again. Stroh's and Stroh's Light are the Official Beers of The 1982 world's Fair. Additionally, Stroh's is complementing that distinction by sponsoring the unique strohaus, an authentic Bavarian-style beergarden near the eastern edge of the fairgrounds. The Strohaus features German food and live entertainment, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to midnight. History is something of which Stroh's certainly has a lot. consider that the firm — the largest familyowned brewery in America — won three exposition-related awards in a

six-year span just prior to the turn of the century. Among these was the 1887 American Exposition in London. This extravaganza was part of Queen Victoria's jubilee, and the gold medal won by Stroh's was very impressive. It resulted in the addition of a white-ongold ribbon label being added to every bottle. The medal Stroh's earned also was depicted on all Stroh's stationery of the 1890s and on the Stroh's label. Then, at The 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, Stroh's earned the highest award and medal. This generated a new diagonal gold-on-blue ribbon label, and the medal was depicted on promotional items and used until approximately 1914. According to Stroh's historian Peter Blum, the brewery also participated and won medals in the 1911 industrial Exposition in Brussels and the 1912 Hygienic Exposition in Paris.

Official has now reached an all-time high. Last year, Stroh's and its recent acquistion, F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Co., shipped more than 9 million barrels of beer. The products were distributed in 28 states as well as the District of Columbia. The mammoth Stroh's Brewery of today is a million light years away from the small "brauerie'" operated by Johann Peter Stroh in Kirn, Germany back in the late 1700s. Today, Stroh's has a brewery in Detroit — featuring the company's singularly-unique, fire-brewed process — and another modern facility in Lehigh valley, Pa. Current production of the Stroh Brewery Co. is more than double the volume produced in 1968 when Peter w. Stroh was elected president of the company, under his guidance, Stroh's has grown steadily to its present prominence. From one beer lover to another — Stroh's.

For visitor convenience, Kodak photo products are also available at other concessions throughout the fairgrounds. Beginners and advanced photographers alike will appreciate the trouble Kodak has taken to identify the most scenic Fair locations. Signs have been erected for identification purposes. But the fun is just starting. Six whimsically-costumed characters have been created by the Fair and sponsored by Kodak. Throughout the day, they will circulate about the fairgrounds, entertaining visitors and posing for pictures. 88 The 1982 world's Fair Official Guidebook

92 The 1982 World's Fair Official Guidebook

Tucked away among the mountains and to the east of The 1982 world's Fair is a land of natural beauty and variety — North Carolina. More than 100 of these mountain peaks reach more than a rnile into the sky with Mount Mitchell, the highest, at 6,684 feet above sea level. The Blue Ridge Parkway traverses these lovely mountains and provides breath-taking views of what lies to the east. Each turn reveals a new sight and adventure. A short distance from the southern end of the parkway is Cherokee, where its Oconaluftee Indian village preserves the heritage of the proud Cherokee from 200 years ago. During the summer, the story of the Cherokee and the "Trail of Tears' is told in the outdoor drama "Unto These Hills." Farther south is Fontana Village Resort, just a short distance from 480foot high Fontana Dam, the highest dam east of the Rockies. The 50-mile Fontana Lake provides a multitude of water sports including plenty of good fishing. to the north, some active excitement is available through the Nantahala Gorge. The white water Nantahala, French Broad and Little Tennessee rivers are favorite spots for rafting, canoeing and kayaking. Here, too, at Boone the outdoor drama, "Horn in The west" tells the story of Daniel Boone and the settlement of the area during the Revolutionary war period. North Carolina is rich in gems and minerals, nearly 400 different ones. And the Tar Heel State is the only one where each of the four most precious gems — emerald, ruby, sapphire and

diamond — have been found. in Winston-Salem there's a multitude of things to do. Old Salem, the 18th century restored Moravian community, provides a look at the past. The North Carolina School of the Arts gives an opportunity to see the performing arts up close. Reynolds House allows an opportunity to see great works of art while visiting the home of the founder of the RJ. Reynolds Tabacco Co., the world's largest, it's also possible to tour the tobacco plant itself in Winston-Salem and the Schlitz Brewery. to the east is North Carolina's Sandhills, birthplace of golf in America. The history of the game is told in the world Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, along the world-renowned Pinehurst no. 2 course. Farther to the east are North Carolina's historic beaches. It was here that the first English settlement in the New world was established almost 400 years ago by Sir waiter Raleigh's colonists. However, it vanished a few years later and its disappearance remains one of the world's great unsolved mysteries. On North Carolina's Outer Banks, an abundance of other history was made. At Kitty Hawk in 1903 the Wright Brothers initiated powered flight and their efforts are preserved in a national historic site. it was also on these sandy beaches that such pirates as Edward Teach, better known as "Blackbeard," and "Calico Jack" roamed.

Motion

All things move. All movement is energy in motion. All motion has a purpose, a cause and effect. Humanity, over time, by means of its own unique system of memory and reason, has developed ever-higher levels of expectation from the technological environment it has been able to create. This vast expansion of human capability has moved us to a new cross-roads of time. The recent swift development of micro-technology and its effect on transportation and communications has opened a vast new door to tomorrow and established great potential for new systems and networks beyond our wildest dreams. It is forcing us to re-define time, re-define our applications of energy and, indeed, re-define old concepts of productivity itself. As our capabilities increase, so does our awareness of our world's inter-dependence, establishing new relationships as well as obligations. So the door to tomorrow is really two doors. It is, first, one of limitless potential for individual creativity, and, secondly, one of greater responsibility for everything affected by it. What this all means to us is that no matter how incredible an individual idea may be, or how vast a world it may open for us, we must remain ever mindful that all human systems are created by people, run by people to serve people's needs. They are essentially an energy cycle allowing others to more effectively apply their own creative energies as we move dramatically into the information Age.

uilN? One of the most striking structures at The 1982 world's Fair is the futuristic fiberglass "tent-styled" State of Tennessee Amphitheatre. The translucence of the fiberglass

— fabric and the open-sided design provide a striking outdoor feeling, while the twin 76-foot peaks of the main audience structure create a dramatic visual effect that can be seen throughout the fairgrounds. An added benefit of the open-sided design is that it extends audience viewing beyond the actual enclosure. There is covered seating for 1,445 spectators with enough room around the perimeter of the amphitheatre for up to 1,000 more. Many per-

formances are visible from across the waters of the world lake, increasing the actual audience size to nearly 6,000 For some theatrical productions a "black box" effect can be created by enclosing the rear of the stage with a large curtain. This allows better use of stage lighting systems. to provide acoustical excellence, the saddle-shaped stage creates a bandshell which directs sound toward the audience. After the six-month Fair is over, the State of Tennessee Amphitheatre will become knoxville's permanent outdoor home for artistic and cultural events. Designers of the amphitheatre were McCarty Bullock Holsaple, Architects of knoxville and Ceiger Berger, Engineers of New York.

Up with People The creative energy of people around the world brings to The 1982 world's Fair a dazzling array of entertainment unmatched in any other site in the world this year. From the brilliance of world-famous symphony orchestras to the unbounded enthusiasm of high school marching bands, music pervades the Knoxville air from May through October. The Prague Symphony orchestra, under the musical direction of Jini Belohlavek and conducted by

Belohlavek and Vladimir valek, has completed more than 40 successful international concert tours. On the Civic Auditorium stage, it follows the October appearance of the worldrenowned Vienna Symphony and it furnishes a musical climax to a season that includes performances by the Atlanta Symphony orchestra with Robert Shaw and the Knoxville Symphony orchestra, host orchestra for The 1982 world's Fair, under the leadership of internationallyacclaimed maestro zoltan Rozsnyai.

The unique Scottish National Orchestra (with Sir Alexander Gibson) will close the classical orchestra door on the Fair with an Oct. 29 performance. individuals on the classical music stage include cellist Leonard Rose, indefatigable virtuoso violinist Isaac Stern, and the flamboyant guitarist Carlos Montoya. when it comes to energy, the world of dance at the Fair is highly visible, too. Rudolf Nureyev, perhaps the most famous dancer of modern times, will be featured with the Boston Ballet

in an all-new production of his own version of "Don Quixote," May 4-8, as part of the world Festival program. The performances will be staged in Knoxville s Civic Auditorium. Jennifer Muller and her dance company, The works, appear during June. The Royal Tahitian Dance Co., the Dance Theatre of Harlem, Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal and the Houston Ballet follow in performances of beauty, grace and sheer strength. Less classical, but no less musical, are the evening "pop" concerts in the

State of Tennessee Amphitheatre. Here, folk singers Mary Travers, Peter Yarrow and the Kingston Trio, jazz artists Pete Barbutti, Jon Hendricks and the Olympia Brass Band, and the Bluegrass music of the McLain Family Band alternate with the country sounds of Ricky Skaggs, Ava Barber, the Steppe Brothers, Tracy Nelson, Helen Cornelius and Riders in the Sky. The nostalgia of the ink Spots and Maxene Andrews is interspersed with the contemporary sound of Richie

Havens, Jasmine, Dave Loggins, Cove, Oliver and Gene Cotton — and versatile acts like the Aldridge Sisters and Kamloops Rube Band. The richest form of human energy is laughter, and The 1982 world's Fair will provide occasion for copious amounts of that commodity with the appearance of guest stars Bob Hope and Victor Borge. Jimmie Walker and Roger & Roger will add to the mirth with state of Tennessee Amphitheatre appearances. Superstar johnny Cash, with June

Pont Marching

There is one Fair "exhibit" visitors are apt to encounter almost anywhere, from the streets of Knoxville to major points of interest on the fairgrounds. This exhibit-in-motion is the Du Pont world's Fair Marching Band. The 29member group turns on its own special brand of high energy each day, beginning with a parade through downtown Knoxville, which will lead visitors to the Fair, its up-beat tunes range from Americana and modern popular to special musical salutes to the 22 nations participating in the Fair. The band includes a high-strutting drum major, three flag bearers and 25 professional musicians. All were drawn from the Knoxville area and will perform six hours a day, rain or shine, through the Fair's six-month run. Fashion designer Bob Mackie created the band's uniforms with their striking energy motif. The unforms of the drum major and band

members are made from a blend of Du Pont's Dacron polyester fiber and cotton. A stretch fabric containing Du Pont's Lycra spandex fiber was used in the costumes of the three flag bearers. Du Pont is perhaps best known for its consumer products, ranging from paints and plastics to pharmaceuticals and recording tape. The company's textile fibers are used extensively in apparel, carpets and other home furnishings. Du Pont is also deeply involved in other fields, including energy. The company owns Conoco, America's ninth largest oil company with vast reserves of oil, natural gas and coal which will help meet the energy needs of the united States and the world. However, for some years, Du Pont officials have been convinced that the answers to the world's long-term energy problems are far more complicated than simply finding and

developing conventional natural resources. One dramatic example of Du Pont's commitment to alternative energy technologies was its sponsorship of the Solar Challenger. This 217-pound airplane set aviation history on July 7, 1981, when it flew on solar power from cormeilles-en-vexin, France, to Manston, England. The Gossamer Penguin, a forerunner of the Solar Challenger, is on display at the Fair s U.S. Pavilion. Also sponsored by Du Pont, it was the first successfully-flown solar-powered aircraft. Du Pont specialty materials play a major role in solar technologies as well. Du Pont Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride film protected many of the 16,128 photovoltaic energy cells attached to the Solar Challenger's upper surface. Other Du Pont products figure prominently in solar devices which provide home and industrial heat, hot water and air conditioning.

Factory

Prior to The 1982 world's Fair renovation, this old brick building stood forlornly on Clinch Avenue — its broken windows and run-down appearance indicating that it had, indeed, seen better days. Recently, it had been used as a warehouse of a Knoxville department store. Townspeople, however, still referred to it as "The Candy Factory," the name by which is was known when the Littlefield and Steere Candy Co. operated it in the 1920s. Now it has come to life once again. The Candy Factory, restored inside and out, has been transformed into a major attraction at the Fair...a building that includes restaurants and lounges. A feeling of comraderie will overtake visitors as they approach its terrace area and are engulfed in an

The old building will, no doubt, smile as children and adults enjoy watching some of the original candymaking machines in motion, visitors may purchase this candy at the information booth on the main floor. Mr. and Mrs. Arie Bos are coordinating this operation and several other concessions on site. They have participated in the Olympics, other international expositions and other world s fairs.

Less than a year after Pearl Harbor, the hills of Knoxville erupted in a frenzy of activity and were invaded by thousands of soldiers, scientists, workers and bureaucrats. As in the days of the Cold Rush, a city appeared almost overnight in the quiet East Tennessee countryside. And what a city it is. Oak Ridge could be the most important community of this century. During the war years, Oak Ridge was an armed camp. Fences and guards ringed the perimeter, no one got in or out without proper identification. Most of the 75,000 people working there knew only that they were engaged in "work of strategic importance to the war effort." Only the top layer of scientists and administrators knew that the work was the creation of the atomic bomb. The Oak Ridgers learned the nature of the project along with the rest of the nation when the bomb was used to end world war ll. By 1949, the newly-formed Atomic Energy commission had taken over adminstration of the American Nuclear Project from the Army.

Oak Ridge today has a population of about 30,000 and remains a major center of the nuclear industry, it is also the heart of a popular tourist area, boasting both historical sites and natural beauty. Highlights include the American Museum of Science and Energy, the WWII vintage

Oak Ridge National Laboratories Graphite Reactor, a national historic site, and the university of Tennessee Arboretum. TVA's Melton Hill Dam and Norris Dam, with their recreational lakes, are also nearby. The Oak Ridge area has many fine motels and campgrounds.

Tennessee is soaring mountain heights and rich river bottomlands...rustic log cabins and modern, vibrant cities...unspoiled countryside and championship golf courses...quiet streams, wild mountain rivers and vast lakes for boating, fishing and skiing. Tennessee is a place where Civil war battlefields stand within sight of the skyscraping towers of modern hotels...where gracious antebellum plantation homes still welcome visitors...and log cabins and stockaded forts built by Tennessee's first settlers stand in the shadow of modern cities like Nashville and Knoxville. it is a place where stern-wheel riverboats still carry passengers on the Mississippi River...where history comes alive at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage in Nashville, Davy Crockett's birthplace in Limestone and the famous railroad engineer Casey Jones' home at Jackson. And wherever visitors go, Tennessee's famous music is everywhere...from the folk ballads of the Appalachian Mountains to bluegrass, the Grand Ole opry, Elvis and the Beale Street blues. What the movies are to Hollywood and automobiles are to Detroit, music is to Nashville where the famous Grand Ole Opry has entertained millions of country music fans every weekend for more than half a century. Today, the Opry originates from one of the most modern broadcast facilities in the world — the focal point of opryland U.S.A., a theme park dedicated to all kinds of American music, in addition to 12 continuouslyrunning musical productions featuring more than 400 performers, Opryland includes exciting rides, specialty shops, restaurants and landscaped gardens. But Tennessee's music reaches far beyond Nashville, some of the most serious pickin' in the world takes place among residents of the eastern mountains, in the spring and summer, fiddling festivals are as common here as the blooming mountain laurel and dogwood. Nor is Tennessee music confined to the country variety. Ever since W.C. Handy first pushed his blues through a horn in Pee wee's saloon on Beale Steet, Memphis has had soul. Handy's blues can still be heard on Beale Street. it was also in Memphis that a young

man named Elvis Presley walked into a recording studio in 1953 and paid s4 to make a recording for his mother. Today, Presley's Memphis mansion, Craceland, and its adjacent Meditation Garden have become a shrine for his millions of fans from all over the world. A visit to The Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's home in Nashville, tells the story of the glorious era when "Old Hickory" and his Tennessee volunteers fought and won the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. This decisive victory launched Jackson's rise in national politics to become the seventh president of the united States. At Columbia, 50 miles south of Nashville, is the home of James K. Polk who was president while the Tennessee volunteers were again making a name for themselves, this time in the Mexican war. And at creeneville in East Tennessee, stands the home and shop of Andrew Johnson, the self-educated tailor who became the 17th president of the united States following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. One of Tennessee's best-known folk heroes was the famous railroad engineer Casey Jones whose fatal collision with a freight train in 1900 was the subject of a popular ballad. His home at Jackson is now a museum filled with all kinds of railroad artifacts and many of Casey's personal possessions. The cornerstone of the Atomic Age was laid in Tennessee with the building of the world's first uranium purifying plant at Oak Ridge. Today, millions of people annually visit the nation's first Graphite Nuclear Reactor, now a National Historic Landmark, as well as the American Museum of Science and Energy. As the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Knoxville area offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the united States. At the northern edge of the Smokies is the resort city of catlinburg with scores of fine hotels and restaurants and many outstanding attractions, including a ski lodge offering yearround skiing — snow in the winter and an Astro-Turf artificial surface the rest of the year. in the southeastern corner of the state, Chattanooga sprawls in the famous Moccasin Bend of the Tennessee River at the foot of Lookout

Mountain. The mountain dominates the city skyline from almost any vantage point and is the home of several of Tennessee's most popular attractions. These include the beautiful Rock City Gardens perched on the bluffs overlooking Chattanooga valley, the spectacular 145foot high Ruby Falls deep within a cavern inside the mountain and the incredible incline Railway which carries passengers up a grade of more than 70 percent on its way to the top of the mountain. Chattanooga's many other attractions include the Chattanooga Choo Choo and the huge Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park. This, the nation's oldest, largest and most visited national military park, commemorates the Civil war battles of Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. The park is one of four Civil war battlefields preserved in Tennessee. The others may be found

Beautiful Tennessee at Fort Donelson near Clarksville, Stones River at Murfreesboro and Shiloh in southwestern Tennessee. Northwest of Chattanooga is the quaint little town of Lynchburg (Pop. 361) known world-wide as the home of the Jack Daniels Distillery. As the first distillery registered by the united States government in 1866, it is now a National Historic Site. Guided tours

take visitors on a delightful trip through "the hollow" which, like the town of Lynchburg, has changed little since the days when Mister jack personally supervised the production of that unique beverage called Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey. Along the entire length of the oncewild Tennessee River, the Tennessee valley Authority has constructed the most extensive series of dams in the United States, creating what have come to be called "The Great Lakes of the South." in the central portion of the state, the U.S. Army corps of Engineers has developed another series of beautiful lakes along the Cumberland and Stones rivers. Tennessee's 29 major lakes and 19,000 miles of steams, have created a recreational paradise and an anglers delight. Five world-record fish have been taken from Tennessee's waters. And the vast lakes are home to more than 182,000 boats, including hun-

dreds of houseboats available for rent. A network of 51 state parks have been developed around Tennessee lakes and scenic beauty. Among them are eight full-scale resort parks complete with modern hotels and restaurants, cabin areas and campsites. These state parks range from the earthquake-born wilds of Reelfoot Lake in the northwestern corner of the state to the rhododendroncovered beauty of Roan Mountain State Park in the northeast. In-between are such natural wonders as the highest waterfall in the eastern united States at Fall Creek Falls, one of the world's largest pecan trees at Natchez Trace, and the archeological remains of the ancient Chucalissa Indian village at T.O. Fuller State Park. For more information on Tennessee, contact the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, P.O. box 23170, Nashville, Term. 37202.

When Maj. Eldad Cicero camp left his union Army post after the Civil war and moved to Knoxville to build his showplace home, energy wasn't a burning issue. But today, Camp's Creystone Mansion, now the home of WATE-TV 6, may be Knoxville's most unique symbol of energy. Completed using granite from Camp's own quarry, and double innerwalls of brick, creystone remains today a solid structure that helps to heat itself in the winter and cool itself in the summer. Creystone was purchased in 1962 by Nationwide Insurance Corp. It was an oustanding example of the trend toward refurbishing old, solid structures rather than using more energy and money to build new ones. And there's the added bonus to WATE-TV employees of working in a building of beauty and master craftsmanship. creystone is listed in the National Register of Historic Sites. Drive by Creystone at 1306 Broadway. It may be one of the most unique symbols of energy visitors will ever see.

Clinton The hospitality and flavor of East Tennessee awaits The 1982 world's Fair visitors in some of the area's smaller towns. Just 17 miles from Knoxville on the Clinch River stands the historic community of Clinton. Founded in 1801, Clinton was once a prosperous coal mining town. During the 1930s, the community benefitted from the construction of nearby Norris Dam, the first of the great tva projects, and later from the nuclear project of Oak Ridge. Today, Clinton is primarily known for the many recreational areas nearby. The town boasts all types of accommodations for travelers, ranging from luxury motels to private homes willing to take in visitors. The community also plans a shuttle bus to and from The 1982 world's Fair's gates.

in the mid-l800s, George Washington vanderbilt, grandson of the "Commodore," Cornelius vanderbilt, began plans on what is today one of the loveliest attractions in North Carolina — Biltmore House at Asheville, 100 miles east of Knoxville. Two of America's most renowned designers were called in to help with this mammoth project. Richard Morris Hunt, architect, chose to style this home on a 16th century chateau. Frederick Law Olmstead was commissioned to lay out the gardens and parks surrounding the house. Not only was Biltmore House an exquisite creation, but the original 125,000 acres became a productive enterprise under the guiding hand of Olmstead. This included operation of farm, forestry and landscape departments. Upon the death of George Vanderbilt in 1914, a large portion of the estate was deeded to the U.S. Government, other sections were later developed into the town of Biltmore Forest and a tract of land was sold to the Blue Ridge Parkway. in 1930, Biltmore House and its gardens were opened to the public.

Today visitors to Biltmore House are presented not only with the beauty of the rolling Carolina mountains, but with a perfectly-preserved showcase of a lifestyle and an era that is the epitome of American grace and style. Many of the furnishings in the more than 200 rooms are the originals first purchased by vanderbilt.

The Great Smoky Mountains When Knoxville first entertained the notion in 1974 of hosting a world's fair, one factor that weighed heavily on the positive side was the proximity of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. When one considers that the park's annual visitor attendance is 9 million, the possiblity of attaining the projected 11 million visitors to the Fair becomes a reasonable certainty. Today's visitor to Great smoky Mountains National Park can partake of scenery that has been eons in the making. in early spring, the area is filled with thousands of visitors who arrive to watch nature's coming-out party. Millions of gloriously-colored wildflowers carpet the Smokies, drawing nature-lovers like worshippers to a shrine. Adding to the festivities is the opening of trout season in April and May. in fall, the forests burst into vibrant hues of red and gold and the camera buffs appear. Attendance is usually greatest the last two weeks in October when the colors peak. The civilizations and cultures that once flourished in the mountains have been preserved for the enlightenment of all. At five historic districts throughout the park, visitors are presented with a number of historic buildings and artifacts that comprise the largest collection of this type of pioneer architecture in America still standing. These structures, found in Cades Cove, Roaring Fork, Oconaluftee, Noah "Bud Ogle" ("Junglebrook") and Cataloochee, are protected by law. when winter arrives in the Smokies, the cycle is completed and a different beauty holds dominance. An ice-blue sky stretches across the miles of dark trunked trees, frozen walkways and icicle curtains. Summer's activities are in no way suspended by winter's onslaught, and sporting enthusiasts are presented with a whole new gamut of challenges. Sledding, skiing, snowshoeing and hiking take their place alongside camping for the extremely hardy. Ail these ingredients add up to make the 512,000 acres of Great smoky Mountains National Park, America's most-visited national park. it was the Cherokee Indians who first named it "The land of the Great smoke." They considered it a place of magical mystery. The magic is still there for the discovering.

152 The 1982 world's Fair Official Guidebook

Appalachia is not only the subject of numerous articles, books, federal studies, media presentations, university theses, historical documents and corporate researches; it is also a major theme being showcased at The 1982 world's Fair. The Fair's Folklife Festival, which is wholly devoted to the discovery of the Appalachian experience through its arts, crafts, music and lifestyle. Southern Appalachia includes West Virginia, Virginia, south Carolina, North Carolina, parts of Maryland, Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky. The historical and topical relevance of this region becomes apparent with the realization that it is one of the world's richest in natural resources, yet has the highest poverty level of any area in America. The predominant cultures that supplied the pioneers of this territory were the Germans, Swiss, French Hugenots, welsh, English and ScotchIrish (by far the dominant in sheer numbers). This strong Scotch-Irish influence can be traced to settlers who were driven to America by heavy English taxation and the potato famines of the 1700s. These clever, mostly-literate people, many of whom were teachers and classical scholars, brought a frugal and industrious nature to the colonies. Blessed with the ability to make do with what lay at hand, their skills encompassed agriculture, animal husbandry, woodworking, leather working, metalworking and many others. With their businesses destroyed by English taxation, most were forced to take passage as "redemptioners" and to fulfill terms of indentured servitute. This group carries the distinction of being the best educated migrants to the youthful colonies, and by the year 1775, the most populous. Prevented by Indian treaties from migrating west of the Appalachian Mountains, they traveled southwest into Virginia to the Carolinas. Like their ancestors and influenced by established settlement patterns, they claimed land in mountain coves and high meadows and the hilly country of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Fiercely independent and freedomminded, they joined in strong support for the cause of an independent America.

During Reconstruction, mountain support for the union cause was viewed dimly and in an area already hard hit with poverty, funds were seldom allocated for the needs of the mountain folk. Schools closed, roads went unrepaired. The proud, intelligent settlers whose schools had once been the model for the American public school system became victims of poverty, illiteracy, health problems, and journalistic stereotyping. Compounding these problems was a well-meaning, but closed-minded, attempt to educate Appalachian children to an identity that was a total rejection of everything inherent in the Appalachian identity — dialect, manner, oral tradition and religion. A sense of shame was attached to everything Appalachian. Exploitation by outside industrialists and rape of their natural resources continued the demoralization process. in the last few decades, America has matured in its understanding of the riches contained in its subcultures. The voice of Appalachia grows stronger with each passing day through the works of such native writers as James Still, Harriette Arnow and Wilma Dykeman. And now this voice is being given an international forum as The 1982 world's Fair celebrates the color, warmth and richness that is the Appalachian tapestry and lifestyle.

CHAIR SYSTEM: Sky Transpo's chair system is the most spectacular way to be transported from the heart of the fairgrounds to the Chinese Pavilion and Funland. It provides a safe and thrilling bird'seyeview of the World's Fair.

Transport A visit by automobile to The 1982 world's Fair cannot only be a good time, but it can be accomplished without the frustrations of traffic jams or trying to find a place to park. As visitors approach Knoxville and enter the city, they will see trailblazer signs directing them to parking areas. These signs bear the Fair's flame logo for easy identification. For the estimated two-thirds of visitors arriving by auto, more than 13,000 parking spaces are available on weekdays and another 5,000 spaces can be found on weekends and holidays when most downtown employees are not working. The Fair is providing 10,000 to 11,000 of these spaces at distances up to about a mile from the Fair gates. These Fairdesignated lots have a standard s6 parking/transportation fee, which includes round-trip shuttle bus service. K-Trans, the city-owned bus system, provides charter service for lots which are more than 2,000 feet from a Fair gate. K-Trans has augmented by its service by adding 40 more buses to its fleet of 80, with plans to lease more as needed. Buses will also operate to the Fair from various hotels, motels and campgrounds, as well as for the convenience of visitors staying in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and other outlying areas. The 1982 world's Fair will accommodate these buses when they arrive at the Fair with special unloading and boarding areas at two of the gates. Unloading and loading facilities for charter and tour buses will be centered in the north parking lot adjacent to the North Gate.

Surrounding Areas HELLO, WORLD. Nashville TV26 LOVES

A visit to Tennessee would not be complete without a visit to Nashville, also known as "Music City, USA." Just a few hours drive west of The 1982 world's Fair, Nashville is the capital city of Tennessee, but better known for the Grand Ole Opry and the Hermitage, the home of President Andrew Jackson. Chronologically, Nashville was born as a pioneer fort erected in 1779, but for "Music City, USA" the founding was 1925. That was the year National Life and Accidental insurance Co. of Nashville was granted a license to operate a radio station and clear channel 650-WSM came into being. From the inception, a show was aired as the WSM Barn Dance. But two years later the name "Grand Ole Opry" was adopted. Then, in 1943, after three previous moves, the Opry relocated to the 3,000-seat Ryman Auditorium where it remained until March 1974. The Opry now has a $22 million

Black and White Mural

Remembering London Depicted at the top of this mural is the first world's fair, The Great Crystal Palace Exhibition staged in London in 1851. Sponsored by Prince Albert during the reign of Queen Victoria, the fair consisted of a single structure made of metal, glass and wood which covered 19 acres, it was 1,851 feet long (to correspond with the date) and more than 6 million visitors attended. Since that time, there have been some 70 expositions of world's fair caliber. Paris Next follows a montage of centerpieces from past world's fairs. Spectacular vertical towers have been a trademark of many fairs of the past. The first, and highest, was the Eiffel Tower built in Paris for The 1889 Paris Exposition, it was the first use of steel and was purposely a spectacular exercise to exemplify the marvels of this "new" material. It is almost 1,000 feet high and remains the tallest structure ever built for a world's fair. Brussels The geodesic dome in the center is the u.S Pavilion from Expo '67. Towering above it, on the mural, is

Fairs Past

the Atomium, symbol of the 1958 Brussels Exposition. The high tower with the face on it to the extreme left is the Tower of the Sun which was the centerpiece of Expo '70. Beneath it can be seen "Aquapolis," the floating city that was the centerpiece of Expo '75 in Okinawa.

X J

Chicago The three-towered structure is actually four towers, it was the Federal Pavilion at the Century of Progress in Chicago in 1933. This structure was also the Temple of Music for The 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, unfortunately, it was also the site of President Mckinley's assassination, it seems he liked the Fair so much, he decided to stay an unscheduled extra day which proved his undoing.

■ ■

Philadelphia The 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition displayed to the world that the united States had come of age as a technological and economic power. The Corliss Steam Engine shown here (bottom center) was the largest engine ever built by man and stunned the world. It was used to power machinery at the fair. It also marked the beginning of energy as an important world's fair subject. A subject which continues here in Knoxville in 1982. France Notice the hand and the torch of the Statue of Liberty. France brought just this portion of the statue to the Centennial Exposition to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of America. After the fair, it was returned to France until completion of-the final statue and its installation in New York Harbor in 1886. New York The Trylon and Perisphere was the centerpiece of The 1939-1940 New York world's Fair. With this fair, America (just emerging from the Depression) became filled with renewed hope as images of its marvels were described on radio and transmitted via magazines and newspapers.

Rising high above The 1982 world's Fair site, 266 feet into the air, is its theme structure...the stunning Sunsphere. Each morning the sun's first rays play across the surface of its 24 karat gold-dust, reflective-glass skin. Each evening its lights wink on and cast a glow across the Fair's landscape, distinctive for miles away. world's fairs have a great tradition of theme structures, some of the most notable examples being Paris' Eiffel Tower and Seattle's Space Meedle. in keeping with this great tradition and the theme of The 1982 world's Fair, "Energy Turns The world," the Sunsphere has been designed as a monument to the sun, the source of all energy. in the early stages of planning, it was also decided this S4 million monument would serve another role, it would explain the historical significance of the sun. Through a multi-sensory display at its base and on the third level, plus other displays on the observation level, the Sun Co. (a major multisource energy company) has produced an exciting, informative and entertaining "adventure in energy." At the entrance, Fair visitors walk through the Sunscope, a thrilling sensory experience that shows the earth's dependence on the sun. On the first and fifth levels, sun spot graphics can be found, detailing the impact of today's energy sources. The 266-foot height of the Sunsphere was chosen because it affords a total panorama of the Great smoky Mountains and the surrounding landscape, while providing a unique view of The 1982 world's Fair site and the city of Knoxville. The exact height is the result of careful studies using photography and hot air balloons. All food facilities found in the Sunsphere are operated by the Specialty Food Division of Hardees Food Systems, inc. This includes a fastfood service operation that provides

lakeside dining at the base of the Sunsphere. A VIP dining area is on the second level of the Sunsphere. The Sunsphere Restaurant, housed on the third and fourth levels, is an elegant sit-down restaurant with cocktail service. Designed by Community Tectonics, inc., and constructed by Rentenbach Engineering Co., the Sunsphere is unique in a number of ways. Seventyfour feet in diameter, it is the first spherical building in the united States. Unlike a geodesic dome, this structural system encapsulates space and supports floors. To create an atrium effect, some floors do not touch the skin, but

overlook space to the bottom of the sphere. Constructed with an efficiency of floor space, it is a masterful example of innovative construction and design. The glass-encased elevators can carry up to 500 passengers each per hour. The Sunsphere s design has also employed every fire safety factor possible including sprinkler systems, smoke evacuation system and communication systems on every level. interestingly, Herbert Bebb, founder of community Tectonics, was a designer at The 1953 world's Fair in Chicago.

Some of the most pleasant memories visitors will take away from The 1982 world's Fair will be relaxing strolls down tree-shaded walkways,.a quiet interlude beneath a stand of tall oaks by the waters of the world Lake, or viewing a botanical display in the forecourt of an international pavilion. But the landscaping at The 1982 world's Fair is more than aesthetic. Visitor comfort, traffic control, preservation and residual use all figure prominently into this monumental project. Lakeside Water is a life-sustaining source and the waters of the world Lake, stretching from the L & N Depot to the U.S. Pavilion, is a lovely representation. Visually beautiful, it also exerts a cooling effect on the site. Along the western side of the lake, a ring of turn-of-thecentury cobblestones curves along the water's edge. Nearby, a stand of heavy-canopied shade trees stretches from the L & N Depot to The 1982 world's Fair Operations Center, providing the perfect setting for picnickers and folks with a yen to sit and enjoy the view. At the northeastern corner of the lake stands the 1,400seat State of Tennessee Amphitheatre. This lovely, curving, tentlike structure's open-sided construction invites seating on the sweet-smelling lawns. Small-leafed trees provide a lacy filtered lighting. While listening to the strains of Bartok or Berlioz, one can lean back and survey the glories that surround international pavilions. Elm Tree Theatre Just as care has been taken to preserve the 75-year-old L & N Station and other turn-of-the-century buildings, so have countless trees and shrubs been pruned and maintained in their original locations on the Fair site. One such preservation has resulted in an original and delightful stage setting called the Elm Tree Theatre. This giant elm has been left intact to stretch its long green limbs to form a roof above visitors who rest in its shade while watching musical and variety acts. Second Creek Adjacent to the Australian and Canadian pavilions is the Second Creek Parkland, where visitors can enjoy a respite from sun and fun. Here, the whole area blooms with azaleas, rhododendron and planters filled with petunias and marigolds. The eye is also enchanted by two wooden bridges that span the creek. Man-made toadstools offer a place to relax and, just barely visible through the trees, a splash of white hints at a Victorian gazebo. in all, some 8,000 trees, 6,000 shrubs, 12 acres of sod, and 10,000 annuals have been planted throughout the Fair site and that doesn't take into consideration the glorious botanical displays prepared for the forecourts of the international and corporate pavilions. when The 1982 world s Fair ends, Knoxville will inherit a beautiful city park to grace the downtown area. Commercial, residential and convention facilities will be situated amidst these lovely surroundings.

Take the observation elevator up to the Sunsphere Restaurant. For an unforgettable view. And spectacular cuisine.

There are numerous individuals in the United States who are serious collectors of world's fair memorabilia. There are enough of them that they maintain a world's Fair collectors' Society, publish various monthly newsletters and conduct an annual convention in New York. Unlike most fanatic collectors, however, world's fair collectors are idealists of the first magnitude and pure internationalists. Talk to one about his collection and he will seldom dwell on the objects for long. What is more important is the significance of the souvenir. They will do almost anything to journey to a world's fair site and, once there, they will record in precise detail the tiniest facet of its planning. A dinner with the World's Fair Collectors' society must be bedlam as they argue the pros and cons of every world's fair, past and coming. For them, the magic of a world s fairs is the very best mankind has to offer, and it should not be forgotten.

This montage, designed by exhibit designer Leonard Levitan, represents but a tiny fraction of typical world's fair memorabilia. Every world's fair strikes its own medal and produces its own guidebook, the most popular of all world's fair souvenirs. The red book in the center is the very first world's fair guidebook from The 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition, it was a red hardbound copy embossed in gold, with elaborate descriptions and fold-out panoramic engravings. The corniest souvenir ever produced was the frying pan in the upper left. The concept was to create a fitting souvenir for The 1901 PanAmerican Exhibition in Buffalo. The orange Trylon and Perisphere on the right was a salt shaker that unfortunately stabbed one's food as one seasoned it.

Also represented are license plates, arm patches, replicas of world's fair towers, cups, key chains, stamps, paperweights, soda cans, ashtrays, piggy banks, bumper stickers, spoons, pins, playing cards, dishes, decals, bookmarks and postcards. A unique idea for a souvenir, called the passport, came from Expo '67 in Montreal. This was a small passportlike booklet for the fair with a symbol on the outside, which was subsequently stamped like a regular passport at every pavilion. They have become a standard feature of every world's fair since. For poster-size copies of this photo, suitable for framing, send s6.95 to: Levitan Design Associates, 39 w. 29th St., New York, n.y. 10001.

it is impossible to know all the motives that inspired Prince Albert, consort of Victoria I of England, to conceive and sponsor that marvel of the ages, the Crystal Palace. But in London in 1851 at this first international exposition, Albert uttered these words: "Nations must work together for the benefit of all." This catch phrase has, through each subsequent world's fair, been translated into a working motto. world's fairs allow visitors to experience first-hand — to view, touch, taste and hear all that is new in knowledge and products from every corner of the world. On one limited plot of land, the barriers of the world fall and the family of man communicates. Each world's fair — from London's 1851 extravaganza to Spokane's Expo 74, which focused on the world's environmental concerns — has had a significant impact on the history of the united States and the world. it was at the Paris Exposition of 1867 that German otto von Bismarck observed anti-military feelings in French exhibits, leading him to conclude that France was weary of war and ripe for the picking. Art Nouveau and Art Deco were given major impetus because of their early showings at the Paris expositions of 1900 and 1925. The influences of world's fairs extend through every level of human activity from the floor (linoleum was introduced at the 1876 centennial Exposition in Philadelphia) to the sky (the first serious prize money for aeronautical achievement was put up for an air race at The 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis). On the entertainment side, Chicago scored big on two occasions, in 1893, the first and all-time biggest Ferris wheel (seating 2,160 passengers) was introduced, and in 1933 when Sally Rand and her Feather Farrs were first introduced to America. world's fairs have also given us the immensely popular Little Egypt, Buffalo Bill's wild west Show, Billy Rose's Acquacade, Jim Key — the Educated Horse, the Buffalo Cyclorama and much more. Now, The 1982 world's Fair is taking place in knoxville, Tenn., with the timely theme, "Energy Turns the world."

Officially licensed and sanctioned by the prestigious Bureau of international Expositions, The 1982 world's Fair is expected to carry on the innovations, achievements, cultural exchange and entertainment that have highlighted these and other world's fairs: • Paris (1867) — introduced aluminum, natural gas heat, the ice cream soda and the idea for the modern-day department store. • Philadelphia (1876) — Signaled the beginning of the agg of machinery and technology. Alexander Graham Bell introduced the telephone, Thomas Edison displayed his early inventions. The typewriter was displayed publicly for the first time, and such innovations as the Otis elevator, the westinghouse air brake, the first elevated monorail and the first commemorative postage stamp were introduced. • Paris (1878) — introduced the Statue of Liberty. • Paris (1889) — introduced the "couldn t-be-built" Eiffel Tower. • Chicago (1893) — was the site of George Washington Gale Ferris' wheel. • Buffalo (1901) — Served as the showcase for the "miracle of electricity" as Niagra Falls generated power for night illumination. • St. Louis (1904) — Hosted the largest world's fair of all, 1,000 acres. Washington university was built as an exhibit, Olympic Games were conducted and such American traditions as the ice cream cone and iced tea were served for the first time. • New York (1938) — Featured displays of super highways, ranch houses, recreation rooms, two-car families and expanded suburbs. Another contraption called the television was demonstrated to the public for the first time.

• Brussels (1958) — Heralded the dawn of the atomic energy age which set the stage for the soviet union's successful Sputnik. • Seattle (1962) — Became synonomous with progress with its famous Space Needle. • Montreal (1967) — Previewed apartment living of the future and Buckminster Fullers now-famous Geodesic Dome which housed the united States Pavilion. • Spokane (1974) — Celebrated the glorious natural resources that this planet holds for the development of mankind and all living creatures. As with previous world's fairs, the primary contribution of The 1982 world's Fair is to help people throughout the world enjoy, experience, teach and learn from one another. For all these reasons and more, The 1982 world's Fair in Knoxville is truly a "Window on the world."

Giant Ferris wheel This giant wheel carries guests to 162 feet above the ground for a panoramic view of the Fair and the surrounding Knoxville area. Ranger This unique ride is presented for the first time anywhere in the united States. Guests board a futuristic spaceship vehicle and are propelled in a continuous 560-degree loop. Riders are suspended upside down at the top of each looping motion. Log Flume Proven to be the world's most popular family thrill ride, guests board a "hollowed-out" (fiberglass) log as it is carried through a circuitous white water flume.

in August 1976, The 1982 world's Fair Design Team, under the leadership of Executive Architect Bruce Mccarty, consisting of a joint venture between Mccarty Bullock Holsaple, Architects and Barge waggoner Sumner and cannon, Engineers, were selected to begin the initial planning of the 70-acre site between downtown Knoxville and the university of Tennessee. From the beginning, the major objective has been to convert this abandoned railroad yard into a vital in-town community through the interim development of a world's fair. The organizing element of the plan is a new lake (an extension of the existing creek) that reaches from the restored L & N terminal on the north to the U.S. Pavilion on the south. The lake will be retained as the main feature of a nine-acre park after the Fair. The topography of the site, with variations in elevation of up to 60 feet, has been used to advantage by the utilization and adaption of the many existing site features. Circulation is made possible by the conversion of the on-site existing automobile and railroad bridges into pedestrian walkways accessible to the handicapped and the elderly. A conscious effort has been made to retain other historical features of the site. Granite pavers, railroad ties and large building stones have been re-used extensively for walks and retaining walls. The existing landscaping has been reinforced by the addition of hundreds of large trees, planted in wire baskets to facilitate relocation as necessary to complete the residual plan. During the past four years, the design team has been expanded to include a number of consultants and associated architects, under the direction of The 1982 world's Fair Executive Vice President Ed Keen and Vice President Charles smith, their many talents have been combined to create a unique site for staging the Fair.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Construction progress A massive combined financial effort, ranging from individuals to the nation's largest banks, resulted in financing for The 1982 world's Fair. Various federal agencies, including the Department of the interior and the Economic Development Administration, were instrumental in providing s7.45 million. An additional s 5 million came from an urban Development Action Grant. As part of its urban redevelopment program, the city of Knoxville also sold S11.6 million in bond anticipation notes in 1978. in effect, the Fair is a temporary tenant on a site dedicated to a massive redevelopment project that will eventually include commercial and residential construction. The initial funding for the Fair's operation came from S1 million in pledges made by more than 1,000 local citizens. These pledges ranged from as low as S100 to as much as s 25,000. in October 1979, a consortium of 43 local, regional, national and international banks financed s30 million

in operating capital. This three-year loan will be repaid from the revenues of the Fair which are now projected at S120 million. It is a measure of the confidence of the banking community that such prestigious financial institutions as New York's Chemical Bank, Atlanta's First National, London's Barclay international, American Security in Washington, D.C., Nashville's Commerce Union, the North Carolina National Bank, and the First National Bank of St. Louis are participants in the loan. A budget committee composed of representatives of the participating banks and three local corporations monitors all expenditures made by the Fair. Arthur Andersen & Co. conducts audits on behalf of both the bank consortium and the Fair. All told, the Fair's operating budget and disbursements will amount to more than S100 million. in total, the Fair has generated some s500 million in construction and investments in the Greater Knoxville area. This includes s224 million for

restructuring the interstate highway system; about s75 million in private investment for hotels, parking complexes, and office buildings; more than S100 million in construction on the Fair site; s30 million to the Fair from the 43-bank consortium; and s24 million from federal and local expenditures for urban redevelopment programs. Some 57,000 new jobs have also been created. After the close of the Fair, the total impact of this substantial effort in downtown renewal will result in nearly 17,000 new and permanent jobs. Any surplus funds from the operation of the Fair will be placed in a community trust fund. That trust will be set up as a foundation for the benefit of the Knoxville community. Furthermore, the city of Knoxville will enjoy the residual use of the many buildings that have been restored or constructed for The 1982 world's Fair. 21

Knoxville Blossoms Seventy-two acres of abandoned railroad tracks, outdated retail operations and dilapidated industrial buildings have blossomed into the site of The 1982 world's Fair in Knoxville, Tenn. Rising from the ruins are a mile-long park, a lake, improved commercial land and new residential developments. Knoxville is following in the footsteps of Spokane, wash., which hosted Expo '74 and reaped tremendous benefits in the areas of employment, new business and civic improvements. Chicago, Seattle and St. Louis can also be cited as cities that experienced

considerable growth as a result of the expositions they hosted. The heart of this redevelopment is the U.S. Pavilion, congress approved $20.8 million for the structure, which features a dramatic presentation about American energy strategies for the present and future, it will serve as a permanent energy resource center when the Fair is over. The revitalization program also includes the renovation of the historic L & N Railway Station, built in 1904. On the northeast corner of the site, it features shops, offices, boutiques and restaurants.

The freight depot is now an international boutique and gallery and a German beergarden is in the foundry. The adjacent downtown area has also received a facelift with a number of new office buildings, entertainment and convention facilties, utility improvements, parks, sidewalk replacements, tree plantings and wall murals. An additional S225 million was allocated for major interstate highway improvements to facilitate access to the Fair. The Fair has generated 37,000 new jobs (17,000 of which will remain permanent) and an additional 1,000 new Class "A" hotel rooms have been constructed. Former Secretary of Energy John c. Sawhill, who has visited The 1982 world's Fair site, said: "The Department of Energy has given full support to this worthy effort. Situated among the ultra-modern exposition halls are certain structures preserved because of their architectural and historical significance, in Knoxville, energy efficiency and preservation have worked hand-in-hand."

The 1982 world's Fair Artwork

Sculptures

Depict Energy

in addition to dramatic international pavilions and futuristic corporate exhibits, The 1982 world's Fair site contains more than 10 sculpture courts representing art, energy and technology. Located throughout the 72-acre site, these courts demonstrate the energy theme and provide highlyvisible attractions for Fair visitors. One of the most exciting sculptures is the "Red Dragon — Bordeaux Red" by; world-famous Alexander calder, an American sculpture who is best known for pioneering the new art form of "mobile" and "stabile" sculpture, words he used to describe his art. His abstract mobile sculptures are delicately balanced and have movable parts that respond to the wind or can be mechanically propelled. He has work on display throughout the world and is perhaps most closely identified with his last sculpture — a major mobile displayed as the centerpiece of the new east gallery of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. "Red Dragon — Bordeaux Red," created in 1969, combines Calder's mobile and stabile art forms, it was shipped to the united States from Germany and has been on display in front of the shopping gallery at Peachtree Center in Atlanta. At The

1982 world's Fair, it may be in the Solar Plaza next to the Sunsphere, theme structure of the Fair. in the Folklife area on the northern end of the site, sculptures by such regional artists as Enoch Tanner Wickham are displayed. The wickham pieces are life-like concrete sculptures of Sergeant York, a famous Tennessee hero; a man holding a child; and two hunting dogs. Wickham was a Tennessee tobacco farmer until he was 69 years old. After his wife died, he began sculpting and his pieces reflect his unique folk artistry. A sculptor from North Carolina also has his works displayed in the Folklife area. Bud Ledford specializes in creating animals and other figures out of old farm tools and car parts. Next to the Mexico Pavilion is "Energies in Nature," a sculpture created by Phillip Livingston. A nationally-recognized artist, Livingston is a resident of knoxville and teaches at the university of Tennessee. Adjacent to the Korea Pavilion is a water wheel and a Korean pagoda incorporating a unique Korean architectural style. Besides being a symbolic representation of Korean culture, the pagoda offers a relaxing rest stop on the site with an elevated view of the waters of the world lake and the State of Tennessee Amphitheatre. Marking the entrance to the China Pavilion is a 54-foot-tall Chinese Tower, it was prefabricated in Peking using high-gloss enameled wood panels. The tower is visible from as far as the Clinch Avenue viaduct and the U.S. Pavilion.

Two of the sculpture courts bring to life the theme of the Fair, "Energy Turns The world," focusing on the sun and electricity. The European Economic community took the sculpture court in front of their pavilion and installed a computerized photograph/sculpture of the sun. Small, computer-controlled panels on the sculpture light up in different colors, showing the heat variations of the sun's surface. This fiery, energythemed sculpture rises approximately 28 feet. A Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) electrical substation on the Fair site provides a dramatic example of energy transfer by displaying the substation's components. Brightly painted in white, yellow and red, the substation is both an exhibit and a sculpture. The substation was already on the 72-acre site acquired by Fair organizers and is considered by some to be the first exhibit on site. Although it is operable, and high voltage restricts visitors from walking through the facility and touching its components, there will a written description of the facility explaining how electricity flows from the Tennessee Valley Authority to private homes and business. Technologies of the past and present are represented in still another three sculpture courts. Next to the L & N Depot is a large crane that was used years ago to unload freight from railroad cars. The crane is hand powered and demonstrates the gear reduction principle whereby extremely heavy objects can be lifted with relatively little effort. A historical "marine sculpture" announces the extrance to the waterfront area, using portions of an old brass turbine discovered during the Tellico Dam project, the sculpture is a symbolic representation of man's ability to harness the energy found in nature. The waters of the world lake contains "sculptures" of its own. A waterfall-like fountain at the north end cascades down cobble stones into the lake. Another of the several fountains planned for the lake is a cascading waterfall flowing over large boulders from the site, in addition, a number of geyser-like fountains are planned. The fountains enhance the beauty of the lake and also help aerate the water.

visible

Light

Commissioned especially by The 1982 world's Fair in Knoxville, "Visible Light," by On The Wall Productions, inc., is a 3,400-square-foot artwork which punctuates the entire Fair site. Emblazoned on two adjacent walls near the Sunsphere, the graphic display of paint by day and electric neon lights by night delights the eye and captures the senses of Fair visitors. Designed to visibly reflect the Fair s energy theme, the viewer sees a floating spectrum of colored planes tumbling through space and exploding between two walls. As evening approaches, Visible Light begins pulsing and flashing a spectacular computer-timed sequence of bright neon lights which dance across the mural surface.

Sarah Linquist and Bob Fishbone, principals of on The wall, say they believe "this unique application of programmed neon lights, in combination with the painted mural image, is a dazzling world premiere union of the two artistic mediums." On The wall Productions, inc. is a company of artists specializing in the design and execution of site specific artworks. The artists, based in St. Louis, mo., have completed more than 50 murals and other environmental artworks in the central corridor of the united States and Mexico. Their clients have included the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Paint and coatings Association, Monsanto Co. and Rawlings Sporting Goods. On The wall's Visible Light is one

part of a comprehensive program devised by handprints/atelier 105: architecture and design for all types of energy-theme enhancers for The 1982 world's Fair site. Developed in 1979, and further conceptualized over the next two years, the Environmental Theme Elements and Exhibits program includes, besides the energy-theme wall graphic, plans for large-scale outdoor sculptures, air and sky events, and water elements.
