Text transcribed from caption: C-31286 VATICAN’S CHILD EXHIBIT POPULAR WITH
ADULTS NEW YORK -- Parent accompanying youngsters to the children’s
exhibits at the Vatican Pavilion “have been just as curious and
enthusiastic as the children,” reports Msgr. John J. Gorman, director of
the Catholic pavilion at the World’s Fair. Shown viewing some of the
displays, which emphasize Christ’s love for children, are two visitors with
Miss Ruth Anderberg, a pavilion hostess. Placed at a child’s eye level, the
many displays include the Litany of the Blessed Mother on an umbrella
carousel tree, flowers and animals used as symbols of virtue and sin, and a
“peep box” showing the story of Noah and the Arc [Ark] in animation.
