coast.
Several Of the 1900 Rhode
Islanders started home yester-
day. Departmental Adjutant F.
Vincent Mcconnell said. A num-
Der deferred plans TO rush
home. however. when they
learned roads were closed. planes
grounded and that martial law
had been declared in some areas.
A New Hampshire spokesman
said there was less concern in
that delegation, although tides
were reported high on the coast.
Massachusetts, delegates seemed
more concerned and kept tele-

on storm damage.

The fioodlights were placed at
Fifteenth street facing down

boiled down to q mechanical
problem which the co-chairmen
turned over to subordinates.
The banners. which spelled out

Some OF the headaches they
experienced were:
Getting the almost-nude Le-

Getting the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Post No. 81. back
into the parade.
Fight Drag.
Keeping the parade moving SO
that 1t wouldn't drag on too far
over the scheduled time.
