But since he has implied that some of last year s press notices were unfair to the fair i Felt that i owed him that much anyway. By giving him the Benefit of my thinking i can perhaps help erase any hard feelings that May have resulted from articles he considered less glowing than the fair deserved. At any rate i Hope Moses will realize that i am doing this for his own Good. It seems to me. Based on what saw during a pre opening tour of the grounds that those responsible for planning the fair misinterpreted the mood of the country. Its theme generally speaking is futuristic.
