With big street parade, followed
by a rousing demonstration in Wash
ington hall, the Jr. O. U. A. M. Past
Councillors Association celebrated
their monthly gathering here last

City Hall park by State Councillor

virtue of his office is commander-in-
chief of the uniformed rank, and
also by Adjutant General Edgar T.

8 o'clock, following meeting OF
Middlesex Council No. 63. Seven
teen councils were represented in

p was followed by the Jamesburg
band as escorts to the guards of Me-
chanics Home Council, No. II, OF
Jamesburg. The Friendship Fife
and Drum Corps, of Mariners Har-
Dor, Staten Island, was the other
musical organization in line. The
first part of the parade was made
up of the uniformed guards, who
won much applause throughout the
line of march.
The civilian members of the order
followed the guards, nearly every
man carrying an American flag, SYM
bolizing one of the principles that
forms the foundation of the organi
zation. The little red school house"
constructed in clever manner on
float, also played a prominent part
In the parade as emblematic of an
other object Of the order-the per-
petuation of the public school sys-
