Fair Offers Jobs, Fun to Teens
Ride an armchair into the future . . . make a phone call without dialing . . . pick a pen pal the space‑age way . . . sit on a People Wall.
These are some of the activities at the New York World's Fair destined to make a hit with teenagers, predicts the February issue of Seventeen Magazine in a special preview of the event. Young visitors can take off into space or keep their feet on the ground, tour the world or see America first.
In almost every exhibit, there is something to do as well as something to see.
Over 5,000 teenagers will be working at the Fair this summer. Work is available on a part‑time or a full‑time basis. Salaries will vary from $60 to $90 a wed with the majority of jobs for those at least 18 years of age.
Girls could possibly work as hostesses. They would work mainly with the monorail at the Fair. The girl must be "pretty, warm, and outgoing, and the airline stewardess type," at least 18, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall, and wear a size, 6, 8, or 10 dress. She should be fluent in at least one foreign language.
Serving food, selling souvenirs, and acting as cashiers at 25 refreshment centers and six restaurants will be some of the various jobs that the boys and girls working as Hospitality Aids will be doing.

Taste treats - cheese at the Swiss pavilion . . . bite-size sausages from Hickory Farms at the World of Food building.
A bright red plastic apple charm from the Mott's Apples exhibit and a wise owl charm from Wise Potato Chips.
A record from the Travelers Insurance exhibition - "The Triumph of Man," a transcription of their musical show.
