Day Parade In Spite
Of Mud Handicap
The May Day children’s parade
sponsored by the Junior Red
Cross under the direction of Ada
Scrivener was a huge success re- '
gardless of the mud handicap.
The parade was headed by a
decorated truck with a three-piece
band, which was followed by
about 200 children on foot, many
in costumes appropriate to the
occasion.
In the parade also, on leashes,
were dog pets of the children:
little dogs, medium-sized dogs
and big dogs, but all well-behaved
dogs as there were no dog fights.
It would be impossible to list
all the prize winners, as the com
mittees were generous with their
ribbons. Most of the children were
radiant with the pleasure of win
ning recognition.
Mrs. Scrivener and her helpers
had the parade well organized.
Everything moved according to
schedule, even the sun cooperated,
making it possible to take pictures
of the occasion.
Prize winning entries were as
follows:
Carrie Ann Ullrich, Deane
Alexander, Ethel Atluk and Ruth
Emmons, Monica Boucher, Philip
and Elaine Carlson, Donald Munz,
Donnie Young, Bobby Carpenter,
and Paul Mathis.
