More often than not , Arthur Radebaugh ’s smart as a whip seriesCloser Than We Think!makes practical good sense . However , this figure of speech which ran in the July 13 , 1958 Chicago Tribune , cast me for a loop ( cringe - cause pun intended ) .
Today ’s spectators can see beneath the surface of a swimming pond only through window or port below the water assembly line . But tomorrow ’s vacationers will be able-bodied to do far better . Pools in transparent structures above the earth will enable observers to relax aboard and have the fun watching underwater aquatic frolicking at the same prison term .
This in - the - air travel pool for swim in the future tense is shaped like a cocktail chicken feed or the bottom half of a Pisces the Fishes bowl . It is hand by a circular ramp leading to political program and diving boards – a highly cosmetic gain to the grounds of tomorrow ’s pleasure stamping ground .
