HAVANA

F A DRY throat should ever

trouble you during your visit

to Expo 67, drop in at the

Cuban Pavilion’s Caney Bar and

sample its special “Canadian
Centennial” cocktail.

If you favor lemon and pine-
apple juice, rum and other odds
and ends, and if you'd like to
try them all together, go Cuba
at Expo.

If you’re of a teetotal bent, or
if you’ve got the kids with you
(especiaily then), you can have
a ball trying to choose among
the 30 flavors of ice-cream at
the replica Coppelia ice-cream
parlor. The original stands as-
tride one of Havana's mid-city
parks, and serves thousands at a
time.

And if you’ve got the time,
try a typical Cuban meal of sea-
food, tropical fruits, Cuban cof-
fee and a cigar at the Pavilion’s
restaurant.

But if your taste or pocket-
book don’t run in any of these
directions, drop in on Cuba at
Expo anyway.

This is the first time Cuba
has taken part in such a large
international exhibition, and it’s
aiming high.

Ia addition to the main pavil-
lion, there is a boutique, a food
shop and a commercial centre.
The boutique will be selling
handicrafts, . records, stamps,
children’s books, etc. The food

shop will feature mainly sea-
food and canned juices of fruits
available in Cuba. The commer-
cial centre will look after any
import-export enquiries.

But the biggest feature will
be Cuba’s main pavilion. Ima-
ginative and creative design are
its hallmark. Built of asbestos,
aluminum, glass and concrete,
it consists of three triangular
sections, surmounting and blend-
ing into one another — a truly
cubist structure. Topped by a
triangular cupola, its three floors
rise to a height of 50 feet.

The end of each section have
eight-feet screens which will
project films of contemporary
Cuban life, visible from both
inside and out — the latest thing
in walk-in movies.

The pavilion is even better in-
side. On the first floor a huge
mural depicts. Cuban history
from the time of Columbus to
1959. The second and third floors
take the visitor pictorially
from the triumph of the Revolu-
tion to today. And on the third
floor there is also a small movie
house.

The concept throughout is
largely photographic, designed
to fit the form of the building.

Overall, the general theme of
Cuba’s pavilion will be this
country’s phenomenal social suc-
cesses in public health, educa-
tion and agriculture. Our sneak
preview of the model in Havana
convinces us this has been
achieved admirably.

AT CUBA

Our guide for our mini-tour
was 28-year-old Felix Beltran, in
charge of publicity for Cuba in
Expo 67, and designer of Cuba’s
official emblem. If this hospital-
ity in showing us around is
equalled by Cuba’s representa-
tives at Montreal (and we're
sure it will be), you'll be in good
hands.

If you can possibly-arrange it,
visit Cuba at the Expo oh or
around July 26. The week sur-
rounding this date — the anni-
versary of the 1953 attack on the
Moncada Barracks, led by Fidel
Castro — will be Cuban week
at the giant fair.

During this week, some 90
Cuban performers will be on
hand to entertain you—typical
orchestras, quartets, soloists and
other musical groups. A fashion
show—distinctively Cuban—will
be there ‘too.

And on July 26 itself, a Cuban
carnival will be held at the
“Place des Nations,” with typi-
cal congas, costumes and high
spirits which characterize Cuban
celebrations.

Canadian cinemas will also
present Cuban films — shorts,
regulars, documentaries and so
on. So if you miss Cuba at Expo,
you'll still have a chance to
catch some of its flavor.

But try not to miss it. The
Cuban pavilion is right across
from Man the Producer building.
Don’t leave it to your friends to
tell you about it.

BONN TO MAKE

OWN A

By MAX REICH

PROPOSAL to declare West

Berlin the 11th province

and the German Democra-

tice Republic the 12th province

of the West German Federal Re-

public is contained in a secret

paper on German policy submit-

ted by the West Berlin Senate

to the Kiesinger government in
Bonn.

This fact was revealed by Pro-
fessor Albert Norden, executive
member of the Socialist Unity
Party, at an international press
conference here recently during
which he introduced a “Grey
Book” on the West German pol-
icy of expansion and neo-nazism.
The book has just been publish-
ed in the GDR.

When the West German gov-
ernment spokesman von Hase
was asked in Bonn about Nor-
den’s claim, he gave an evasive
reply but refused to deny the
charge.

In his speech to the press con-
ference, Norden also charged
that the West German state
stands on the threshold of
launching the production of its
Own atomic weapons.

Two and a half billion marks
have been invested in nuclear
research in the past three years
and 330 firms are working in the
nuclear field, Norden said. Suffi-
cient plutonium for a number of
nuclear bombs has already been
produced by West Germany.
