Edited by E. Eastman Irvine, | the 1939 Almanac has been reset in a type easier to read. New sec- | tions and new features also have been added. One new section is devoted to the New York World’s | Fair 1939. This section of ap- | proximately 10,000 words, with a map of the grounds and routes to the Fair, gives a detailed descrip- tion of the exposition, the amuse- ‘ments, transportation facilities, hotel, parking accommodations. |. The $50,000,000 Golden Gate | International Exposition in San | Francisco also draws attention. Sponsored by eleven Western | States as The World’s Fair of the’ jf | West, it will present the picture | of the development of that sec ‘tion in the “Pageant of the Pa: | cific”. Anotfier new section deals with | radio and television, giving a con- cise history of each; also a chron- Vaey of radio. The growth of ra- | dio, the number of sets in use in the United States, thé sale of ra- | dios and apparatus, the number employed and on the payroll of the industry, the number of sta- | tions—all these are treated in the | Radio Section. | But with these additions the old features have suffered no neglect. The record of the Year, | Memorable Events, Scientific Pro- | | gress—all remain, as interesting | and as replete with facts as ever.
