on Thursday. There was a weeks
work to be done in three days but
the exhibit hall was a beehive of
activity both night and day early
in the week and when ribbon cut
ting time rolled around, every
thing was in readiness.
Booths in general would COM
pare favorably with those of the
past. The program, except for
Thursday, was obviously attractive
to the visitors.
The dances were as successful
as any have been and no one lost
money.
The parade was viewed by
thousands, some estimating as
many as 1900, and it came off
very nearly on time. II was spaced
well. The music was well received
by the public and the floats did
justice to city twice the size of
Tabor City.

Speculation over whether the
Sixth Annual Carolinas Yam Fest
ival drew n record number of
people has been common street
corner conversation since its con-
clusion last Saturday. No absolute
definite answer can ever be given.
But there was little doubt in
anyone's mind that last weeks
event certainly had a Friday and
Saturday crowd second to none in
the seven year history of the
affair. Only the slim Thursday at
tendance cast any doubt that this
years festival was the best attend
ed thus far.
But attendance record or not,
there were few people who con-
tested the statement that this was
the best organized, most orderly
and all around best festival held
here. AS the years 60 by, the festi-
val committees have gained in

Mammoth Yam Festival" Parade
Witnessed By Crowd OF $1,000

One of the largest and most COL
orful parades ever held in Tabor
City was held Friday afternoon as
the successful CarolinaS Sixth An
nual Yam Festival reached the
mid-point of three days filled with
activities.
An estimated $4,000 persons
lined the streets and sidewalks to
get glimpse of the 40 unit parade
that represented various organiza-
tions from throughout North Car

The procession which formed
at Civilian Field and moved down
South Emerson Road to the inter-
section with Lewis Street at Brady
Motor Sales, west to Fifth Street.
and to the Exhibit Hall at the New
Farmers Warehouse was led by a
sharp-trained and highly talented
32nd Army Division Band.
The military band was closely
followed by the float carrying Miss
Renee DuRant, the lovely young
lady who wore the 1852 Yam
Queen crown, who drew "oohs"
and "ahS" from the large crowd
as she 6iSplaved the -poise ard
beauty 1T had Won ker the title
OF Yam Queen of fast yea.'s festi-
val
A bit of humor was injected in
to the parade with the appearance
OF the trick cars willed with
clowns. One of them kept its pace
by bouncing backward and for
ward with the aid of special set
of wheels on the rear which made
is possible for the driver TO lift
the front of the car and allow it
to rest on the special attachment.
