Page Twenty-Four DETROIT AMERICAN Sunday, May 5, 1968' Man Mow Mis World' Urn a Receive 1,500 MONTREAL One year ago, Canada's Universal and International World Exhibition of 1967 opened its doors and made history: It was called Expo 67 for short, and although today that name carries instant recognition almost anywhere in the world a year ago it was an unknown quantity. At the time, many predicted that Expo 67 would be "just another world's fair" assembled by a rela tively small nation of only 20 million people and that it would attract little attention. Degrees at 67," he says. "But it will offer the same scope, and we wish to remain as close as possible to the original concept. We will not do anything that would damage or change the image of Expo that the world now has." The, secret of Expo's smashing success was its non commercial character, and the Dlan for "Man and 3 i i 1 1 tr 3 0 MM I is llliil': few0 THE UNITED STATES steals this night scene of World" exposition.

The Geodesic Skybreak Bubble at Montreal's "Man and his "Bubble" stands 20 stories high and cost more than $9,000,000. It is constructed of 27 miles of steel pipe weighing 600 tons. It is located on the Island of St. Helene in the St. Lawrence River.

66,000 NAMES Who's 35th Who' 'Edition Still Select List Very In addition, the spectre of the disappointing 1964-65 New York World's Fair hung over Canada's effort. But from the opening day, it was apparent that Canada had produced something that not only would set a new standard for world expositions but would gain new dimension and national identity for the country. Some 325,000 persons jammed into the site the first day, a causing the counting computers to break down. Before the fist weekend was over, 1.5 million' admissions had been recorded. By the time Expo 67 closed six months later, it had achieved a record-smashing 50,306,648 admissions, which, appropriately, was exactly 67 per cent more than its original forecasts.

After a "hit" like this, what can one do for an encore? Montreal's dynamic Mayor Jean Drapeau, who spearheaded creation of Expo 67 against long odds, believes he has the answer in "Man and His World." This will be a new permanent exposition opening May 17 on the same site as Expo 67. The 1968 enterprise is the result of Mayor Drapeau conviction that Expo was-oo big to run just six months. Rather than destroy it, the fate of all previous world's Expo should be saved as a permanent It will be the first time in history of world expositions this has been attempted. Mayor Drapeau's ambition is to create "the "greatest permanent cultural manifestation in the world," a Tivoli Gardens, Disneyland and United Nations all wrapped into one package.

McCree, is a student of the law. He has practiced law in Detroit and has administered the law for sixteen years as a county and Federal judge. In these capacities, he has had wide and immediate experience with the problems of our society. As one of Detroit's outstanding citizens, he is called on countless times to serve on mayor's and governor's committees. Judge McCree has been generous in his response to these calls.

Perhaps his most important contribution is his work on the New Detroit Committee, to which he has brought his deep understanding of the Detroit community. "Civic organizations have turned to Judge McCree and have benefited from his generous service. The United Foundation named him vice president. The Tuberculosis and Community Health Association appointed him one of its directors. He has served on the boards of the Boy Scouts and Franklin Center, among others.

"Besides inspiration and integrity, Judge McCree has brought a passion for justice and service to a community whose continued strength will depend on such qualities in such a man."

The basic standard for judging, as Anglemire tells it, is to decide the "reference interest" of a person what chance there is that journalists, or other researchers will be interested in a person. A major qualification is that a potential biographee must have achieved his po- sition through "meritorious activity." When A. N.

Marquis ran the shop, important segments of society were left out simply because Marquis frowned on them. Advertising executives were not listed for years because Marquis did not consider advertising "a reputable field of endeavor." There was no hesitancy to blacklist an outstanding man for doing something that Mr. Marquis didn't approve of. When 'Frank Lloyd Wright finally made "Who's Who" despite his divorces, he made a puckish allusion to his longstanding world reputation by noting in his biographical questionnaire that he had designed the Imperial Hotel in.Tbk yo and 176 "other buildings of note." 5 i Person's selected for inclusion fall in two categories. In one category are uiusc wuusc ctwiiic vciucni, business, the arts, or educa- rz from their contemporaries.

The, second is the "must list" which includes" all principal public-office holders in the country, fieads of major universities, military men above the rank of major general or rear admiral, -and so forth. "Who's Who" was criticiz ed in its more Victorian 1 days for including far too many clergymen and, as Mencken put it, other "up-lifters" of society. Mencken complained that the book contained "every reverend operator of an association for enforcing the Sunday laws, abolishing war, put tm2 down adultery, or turning the Indians into Boy Scouts." In the 35th edition, cler gymen capture 2.2 per cent of the listings, down from 3.1 per cent in the 34th and less than artists (3.1 per cent), musicians (2.8), doc tors (5.2), and journalists (5.7). Major occupational categories are educators (13.9 per cent), leaders of industry (12.6), government officials (9.9), and lawyers (6.1).

A statement on the form says it is "understood that some may prefer not to supply certain data for which provision is made." Most of the biographies are complete and accurate, however, if for no other reason than that deviations from the truth will appear in print for all to see. "The information is assumed to be correct in most says a "Who's Who" official. "It would be impossible to check "such a mass of information, and that there have been very few errors."

THE NEW "Who's Who" still comprises a select assemblage; there are about three entries for every 10,000 citizens in the United States. But the basis for selection is broader than it has ever been. For example, for the first time in Who's Who's history athletes, such as Carl Yastrzemski of, the Boston Red Sox and John Unitas of the Baltimore Colts, have been included purely on the basis of physi cal prowess.
