PROCESIONES CIVICAS
LAS
Por Jose r. SanfeRz

En- nuestra prensa y en- la a.
mericana he tenido Ell intense
placer de leer que la activa agru
paci6n que dirige los destinos de
la association LA Verbena del
Tabaco" habfa tornado ell acer-
tado acnerdo de celebrar su pro-
cesion clvica, durante las pri-
meras horas de la noche, ilumi-
NADIA por medic de antorchas.
Esa buena nueva hizo SUI E.
fecto en- mi bullicioso magin Y
me die: "Ahora 81 que lie va
mos a demostrar a muchos abo-
rigenes Y forasteros, como los
americanos latinos organizamos
deslumbrantes procesiones civil
cas-. A estas en- idioma ingles,
las denominan "paradas".
-, Lo cierto es que no encuentro
base nj fundamen5o para lla-
mar por Ell nombre de "pdradd"
a una formation de vehiculos a.
'dornados vistosamente, que mar
chan rodando. Pero va TODD ell
pueblo las llama "parddds",
aunque vayan volando por nues-
tras Gales.
En- dias pasados me acuse de
atavismo; y ahora vuelvo q ha-
Ger la misma confession al refe-
rirme Y comentar ell paso de las
preciosas carrozas que fue1on
tan aplaudidas por ell immense
gentio que Sc aglomeraba en- las
calles para yer desfilar la pro-
cesion de los piratas.
No deSeo discutir nj comentar
la adjudication de los premios.
Estos fueron concedidos, a las
ientidades que ell jurado crey6
que los merecian, y creo que 10
hicieron con suma discretion.
Pero clio no me priva de mi
atavismo latino y tengo ansias
de echar a volar 10 que desde
hace dfas me esta mortificando
en- ell "meollo". Parece que las o.
cultas ruedas de algunas de esas
carrozas, me estan dando vuel-
tas dentro de la cabeza. Por e.
jemplo: La feStiva carroza pre-
sentada por ell Restaurants Co
lumbia, la aleg6rica de La Ver-
bena del Tabaco, la originalisi-
ma de-. en- fin todas la senvia-
das por nuestros barrios. La ca
rroza que representaba al car
naval latino, por la "Camara de
Comercio de West Tampa, es
una genuina obra de arte, que
presenta en- su armaz6n Y ador-
no algo que es tfpico.

fine ARTS MEMBERS
TO PASS ON FLAG
Selection of District Emblem
to Come Up at September
Commission Meeting.

Selection of a design for the Dis
trict of Columbia flag will be one of
the problems confronting the Com
mission of Fine Arts at its September
meeting, which probably will be held
here early in the month.
H, P. Caemmerer, secretary and
administrative officer to the COM
mission, said that two designs have
been formally submitted to the COM

Many problems of design in con-
nection with the great Federal and

ting under way in the District and
