Hundreds of young celebrators form ed parades and marched gaily through the streets but did no dam- age. Long noisy processions of kids romped about the streets clad in all sorts of costumes until about 10 o'clock, but the indictment wealth CT forced them to go into their homes instead of remaining outside for additional celebrating.

In fact, the celebration was un- usually quiet and no real damage has been yet reported with the ex- ception of the car which was tarred.
