| Description: | "It can be estimated that half of the admissions to the New York World's Fair will be children - so why not an exhibit for them alone. It's Atomsville, USA, and only children are admitted to operate nuclear displays. The lost children's bureau is also a busy place as 50 parents a day become mislaid."
