 back through the centuries of op- precision, of famine, of near-starva- tion, and of sacrifices for the faith in which they believed.
 Happy Marchers
 The parade will be joyous, ex- ailtant, but its marchers will be thoughtful as well as happy. As their eyes light up in the glory Of Ireland past and present, their minds will turn now and then to the hardship and struggle that made the day possible for them. Side by side with the colors of the Irish Free State will be the Star Spangled Banner, the symbol to these sons and daughters of Erin of their beloved land.
 Festive Spirit
 An air of carnival will pervade the entire city. Stores and homes all over the city have been deco rated with the Irish National col DTS. Irish and American flags Will fly in the streets. Downtown store windows in many cases are riots of green, with the shamrock holding the center of the stage. The pa radsrs will wear colorful sashes. In addition, many of the marching units will be in uniform or costume.
 Gaily-colored and beautifully decorated floats will be seen in the parade. Some of them, 1t is prom 1sed, will be among the most novel ever seen in street parade here.
 Tens of thousands will line the streets of the city to watch the procession go by. Most of the spec tators will be Waterburians but many will be from out of town, at- tracted here by reports of last years gala parade and predictions that 1t would be outstripped this year.
 Fulton's American Band with Jack Fitzgerald as major will head the parade.
