Well over 60,000 spec
tators, including 1000
visitors from foreign
countries, flooded the Ex

glimpse of some of the top
animals in the country. Of
the 1000 visitors, more than
200 were Japanese, who are
known to bring cattle
classifiers and to be for
midable contenders for the
top animals at the World
Premier Sale held in
conunction with the Expo
each year
While the Japanese had

record of 10,447 pounds of
milk and 463 pounds of fat.

grand championship title of
the All American Junior

well. This same animal was
also the grand champion of
the Eastern State Show held

495 pounds of fat, was also

Also in the open show, the
Pennsylvania state herd,
comprised of animals owned
the largest concentration of
representatives, a visit to
the International Lounge on
afternoon proffered as many
as 18 representatives of
different countries from
around the globe, including a
three-man delegation from
the Soviet Union.
To add to the international
flavor, one section of the
three-tiered display area
encircling the Coliseum floor
was devoted to international
dairy posters.
One such poster read, “Ik
drink melk Wi] dnken melk,
ook’”
Yet another read, “Milk
moet Melkdoetjegoed ”
And, still a third said in
familiar language to Penn
