1932
Perhaps some of you have heard about the New York World's Fair, one of the city's current attractions. It opened April 30 in Long Island, and it is barely possible that a number of you may be coming to New York to visit it.
Ever aiming to please, our statistical department has delved through the files and come up with the following roster of Long Island residents. These are the people you should suddenly descend on for a drink. Pick a Sunday when they are sure to be deviled on all sides by ogling grandparents who want a look at Junior; by neighbors who "just dropped in"; and by Aunt Minnie from Kankakee, in New York for the first time who is sixty-odd and rarin' to go. You should give no advance warning by letter or telephone. Just drive up to the door. When your classmate comes out to greet you with a sullen, suspicious look don't give him a chance to place you. Leap out of the car and rush him off his feet. Pretty soon you have your victim backed up to his own front door, and from here it's only a short route to a couple of drinks, a dinner invitation, a guest room for the week-end, or maybe board and keep for your entire stay in New York.
Anyhow, here's a list of the lucky hosts, composed exclusively of Long Islanders, with no rabble from Manhattan or Brooklyn included:

Three recent postcards trace Walser's nomadic flights: Cairo, Feb. 28, "Back again with the camels." Rome, March 12, "I hit Rome just as the new Pope was being coronated and I have just viewed the most colorful spectacle of my life." North Carolina, April 2, "See America First!"
