The parade, led by a color guard
from the local American Legion
Post and a 22-piece Navy band, was
enc of the highlights of the day.
No prizes were given for the floats
this year, as it was felt that every
one who enters floats deserves
equal recognition. 1t would have
been especially difficult to Judge
this years entries, since each
showed originality and hard work.
Among the outstanding ones de-
signed and executed by local people
were those of the Matcha Pungo
Garden Club and the Sinclair Re
filming Company. The Garden Club
float featured living Statue of
Liberty, posed by Mrs. Vann
Latham. The Sinclair float, design

floats decorated by organizations
were those of the American Legion

Girl Scouts, and the Belhaver
Lions Club. Striking professionally
decorated floats were those of the
Guaranty Bank. the Merchants
Association, and a combined one
for Dawson Wholesale, Farmers
Exchange, and O'Neal's Drug
Store. The bank float featured g
huge rainbow ending in a pot OF
gold and pretty girls in evening
dresses. A cow and horn of plenty
decorated the combined float. A
beauty queen on a large golden
throne conferred the Merchants
Association entry.
One of the hits of the parade was
