NOVEL FAIR
An Exhibition of Social Progress is being prepared at Lille for 1939. It will show to the public, not manufactures, but what best has been accomplished in every country in the way of social welfare. The sections will comprise, in general, town planning, public health, hygiene in the home, education. physical training, sports, the struggle against disease in all its form, better housing, organisation of labour, and protection of women and children. Its organisers claim that it will be. the first exhibition of its kind in the world. The pavilions will occupy an area of 125 acres, and its regional centre, grouping fourteen pavilions of the northe and east of France, will follow closely the lines of the Regional Centere that was one of the greatest successes of the Paris Exhibition. Each pavilion will embody the chief architectural features of the part of France it represents. There will be amusements, with numerous original attractions, musical festivals in which British bands will take part, and brilliantly illuminated night fetes.
