 Mir. sturges stated to the Demo- crat that last nights parade along Baldwin street was not Q political procession, but parade of drum corps and members of the Washing ton Park Community club inaugu- rating their three-night carnival. The parade started at Library Park and proceeded to the community house in Washington Park via Grand, Union, Baldwin streets, and Luke street.
 Leaders of all bands had been urged not to have their corps play too loudly when in the quiet zone around St. Mary's hospital, stated MT. Sturges today.

INIANTIC RIVER
 IS BUSY SCENE
Cannon ROars This Morn. ing for Official Opening
 of ScallOp Season

Waterford, Conn, Oct. 1-(UP)- A cannon roared over the Mantle river at dawn today and hundreds of small boats darted from the shore in @ mad rush which signalized the official opening of the scallop season.
 Many of the boatmen, who ih- cluded high state officials, shell-flsh lovers from throughout the state and native residents and fishermen, had lined the banks of the river since midnight. Camp fires blazed for warmth and radios blared for entertainment to while away the time until sunrise. The Mantle river road was jammed with trucks ready to haul away their loads to city markets.
 Beds Heavily Laden
 The beds this year were heavily laden, after @ scarcity of two years. Rivermen reported there were Vir- tually millions of the bivalve mol lusk, of which the abductor muscle which draws the two halves of the ridged- -edged shells together, is con- sidered one of the delicacies of the sea. The muscles, tender and sweet, usually are prepared by rolling in cracker crumbs and frying in butter or in deep fat and served with tar tar sauce.
 A glass bottom house boat secured the river during the past week locating the plentiful spots. Today many of the commercial boats lowered over these areas as fishermen dipped their long, handled scoops into the water and dislodged the scallops from the river bottom
 Individuals were allowed three bushels apiece. Each bushel aver aged about three quarts, after the shells had been pried open and the muscles removed.
