Wickham, commissioner of the Department of Agriculture and Markets, urged all persons concerned to begin planning for a spage-age show next year that "will revolve around the future." Potter, enormously pleased with his product this year, said next year's exposition would look into New York State life between 1970 and the year 2000.. "In a i our thematic a a this early, we are encouraging every department superintendent of the fair, all of state government and all business, agricultural and labor leadership of the state to begin planning now for a State Fair motivated by imaginative planning and thinking," Potter said. Wickham said he was concerned that plans for relocation of Route 890 and constructing new inter-connecting routes from the west with 690 will change traffic patterns and set up bottlenecks for traffic two years from now.

RecordTM (Continued from Page 1) ages. He said the theme will be the "space age" and its effect on life in New York. While the rain yesterday af- fected exiting traffic, the buildings and the Midway jammed.

At the entertainment center, hundreds of persons gathered to hear country and western singer Hank Snow, one of the six living Americans belonging to the Country Music HaH of Fame. It was at the beginning of Snow's afternoon performance that the rain hit hardest, but as he sang "I'm Moving On," one of the all-time favorite country recordings, the only moving in evidence was that of fans keeping time and swaying to the music. In honor of Labor Day, the Rev. Richard McKeon, labor industrial director at Le Moyne College, served as speaker at a luncheon in the Art and Home Center. Father McKeon substituted for Paul Jennings, president of the International Union of Electrical, Kadio and Machine Workers who was unable to get to Syracuse because of flight cancellations.

The Le- Moyne priest predicted that labor will play a growing role in civic affairs. "Good industrial relations are contributing to this area's growth," he said.

And again, the Four Saints and Happy Louie and his Polka Band drew crowds at the entertainment center. The daughter of Town of Geddes Supervisor Rocco Pirro, Miss Rockett Pirro, had one of the biggest thrills of the day as she was told she had won the swimming pool, given to the holder of the prize ticket at the fair. Her name had been entered by Donald M. McCabe, 2144 S. Geddes St.

As the crowds surged to get a last look at this year's spectacle, children remained overwhelmed at (he never-ending rides, food, prizes and games. They waved to their tired parents from the motorcycles, whips, locomotives, airplanes and police cars going round and round, their thoughts perhaps turning to the long wait they will have until when the rides will return to the fairgrounds. Today the rides, sideshows, games and the popcorn, cotton candy, and ice cream stands are on the road to another fair, while the children continue to tell their friends of the great 1968 State Fair. There Was Rain and a Lot of Snow Hank Snow, left, is shown as he held forth with his electric guitar yesterday in Empire Court of the State Fair. At right his admirers are shown as they stuck with him through a thundershower, covering heads with umbrellas and newspapers.

It was the first time during the run of the fair it rained but it was of short duration. Sunny skies and pleasant weather in general put a final touch on a successful exposition.

THE POST-STANDAKD Sept 3,1968 13 State Fair Sidelights It had to happen the rain. Everyone knew the State Fair would never get by without rain, for it seldom has. But the rain yesterday last day of 1968 fair may have dampened spirits a bit, but certainly didn't cause any dis.

'may. The "pop-out" of the SUB later saw all midway attractions start booming again. A lot of births took place at the fair. An exact count was not available of the born in the cattle building, But an estimate of 20 borns" after looking "over field" was not too far out of the way. Of course, the calves were an attraction especially to the young fry, and many children wandered away from parents long enough to give the newcomers a pat on the head.

Captain of Detectives Beecher D. Flummerfelt of the Auburn Police Department was a visitor to the fair with his wife. He was disappointed, he said, when the stock car race was rained out Three attempts to get a qualifying; event over, failed and when the race was called off, "Beech" had to leave a comfortable seat in the grandstand and make the other rounds of the fair. So it's over for another year but it'll take a week or more to clean buildings after exhibits are removed. There was something for everyone to see in the hundreds of displays in the various buildings.

Moreover, the fair will no more than pass into history- when plans will begin taking shape for another one in 1969 that will still be "bigger and better." It is always that way. A State Fair isn't generally considered a "style show." But the variety of styles that were in evidence, worn by both the masculine and feminine gender left no doubts that times are changing. Example: the panted suit for women. There were many on the grounds and it was hard to discern at first glance whether the wearer was a boy or girl man or woman.
