Scrapbook 3: There's Only One Word For It—Spacetacular!

THERE’S ONLY ONE WORD FOR IT—SPACETACULAR!

TELEVISION’S greatest triumph gave Britain a fabulous “over the garden wall” peek at America last night.

The great “hi-neighbour” show started with a baseball game in Chicago.

Cheers

And how that crowd cheered and waved paper hats when a commentator told them the match was being televised to Europe.

Next—a quick call at President Kennedy’s Washington Press conference with close-ups of the President answering questions on H-bomb tests.

Col. John Glenn spoke from Cape Canaveral, where Telstar was launched thirteen days ago . . . cars sped on the Detroit Highway . . . there was a glimpse of Quebec . . . actors rehearsing Macbeth, in Stratford, Ontario.

Dancing

These shots were followed by an Indian chief in South Dakota, and Japanese girls dancing at the World Fair, Seattle.

A look at the United Nations . . .

Then, all too soon, a last glimpse of the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline and the historic show was over.

Spacetacular, neighbour, Spacetacular . . .
