Ottawa weather ran true to form
this afternoon when torrents OF rain
fell in steady stream during the
hour set for the patriotic days big
street parade. making it necessary to
postpone the event indefinitely. The
rain started Just at 1890 and contin
ued during the afternoon.
On account OF the bad conditions Of
the downtown streets il was impos-
sible for the citizens from the various
patriotic organizations TO march thru
the puddles OF water that were stand
Ing on all the streets where the new
pavement has not oeen laid. There
was first some talk OF postpOning the
parade until this evening. but it was
feared even though the rain did stop
the streets would still be impossible
BY evening.
Plans had. been made 10 have this
parade the largest OF the kind that had
ever passed thru the streets OF OF
tawa. and all the organizations in the
city had responded 10 the invitation
to Join In line, and were making pre-
parations TO have large delegations
march.
Many people had spent the morning
In decorating their automobiles, while
others had made signs and banners to

A conference was held early in the
afternoon by Clarence Griggs, chair
man of the Liberty Loan Bond sale
