SERVE calely London, April 30 -- (AP) -- The King will stand on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral next 'Thursday neon and announce that the lid 1s off. Bells will peal in a thousand bel- fries and, from that moment to Oct. 1, Britain is expected to be slightly pop-eyed and giddy. For the King will announce the opening of the Festival of Britain. He will invite the peoples of the wold to come to Britain this sum- mer to have fun at a glittering ex- position and to be enlightened, ele- vated and culturally refreshed at more shows, pageants, concerts ahd exhibitions than anyone can count. The Festival is tne culmina- tion of three years' planning. It will be Britain's brave attempt to lift herself out of austerity and drabness. The place has been brightened, painted and glamorized. The country will try to show the visitors every- thing, the charm of its historic treasures, the countryside, sea and Scottish highlands, and up- to-the-mi hiev % industry, science and art. About 1,700 communities will have some part in the Festival. But the centre of it will be London, and the focal point the heart of London-- the south bank of the Thames River | between Waterloo and Westminster bridges. The Houses of Parliament overlook it. Never-Never Land A cluster of beautiful buildings has transformed the area, until lately a well-bombed region of rubble and broken walls, into a sort of never-never land. It will accommodate 60,000 visi- tors. Undoubtedly more than that will try to get in on the brighter week-ends. They will have to be told to come another time, or to visit Festival attractions in other parts of the big city -- the Fun Fair and Pleasure Gardens at Battersea Park, the science exhibition at South Kensington's Science Mu- seum, the exhibition of architecture near the West India docks, or the book exhibition on Brompton Road. N.Y. Board Hits Seaway New York, April 30--(AP) -- The New York Board of Trade says the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power project would represent the pour= ing of "incalculable sums of Ameri- can dollars down the world's most enormous drain." The Board of Trade expressed its opposition to the Seaway in a statement filed with the House of Representatives committee on pub- lic works and released Sunday. The Congressional committee clos- ed its phblic hearings on the pro- ject April 25 in Washington. Maintenance of the port of New York since May 10, 1950, the Board of Trade said, cost $500,000,000. In comparison, the board contin- ued, ultimate costs of the St. Laws rence Seaway would run into the "tens of billions." The Board of Trade also contest- ed the estimated $800,000,000 origi- nal cost of the St. Lawrence project, saying the outlay "would probably be three or four times the esti- mate." SHRINKING METAL Radioactive Polonium, a by-prod- uct of the atomic bomb, is the first metal to sirrink instead of expand when heated. At the south bank, the Festi- val has its novel "Skylon." It is a useless but strikingly- handsome shaft of aluminum, gracefully tapered from the bot- tom and again toward its top, 290 feet above the earth. It stands on its delicate point and, because of the almost-invisible cradle of cables in which it rests, 'seems to be floating in the air. Bri tons say it is a fine symbol for the country because it stands "without visible means of support." PHONE 5-295] 6 bottle carton 36% 75 ORCHARD VIEW BLVD.
