FOUNTAIN FANTASY
THREE WEEKS AGO our scrapbook cameraman shot the Fair's Unisphere from the United States pavilion; today we view the global birdcage from the opposite side and catch the massive pavilion at the end of the Court of States. Setting off the Unisphere and ringed by a reflecting pool are the plumed jets of the Fountain of the Continents. They are colorfully lighted at night. At left: New England exhibit. Across top of globe: Singer Bowl. In distance: Shea Stadium.

This aerial view shows Unisphere ringed by the Fountain of the Continents. The rising and falling motion can be noted in the shot vy the varying hights of the sprays.
