FLOATS Since only two float participants appeared, Mr. Rudd will send a letter of detailed instructions to all float participants. Mr. Sullivan supplied pictures of his float publicizing his. movie !'You, the Jury" which is being shown to all, interested groups. It was explained to Mr. Sullivan that we had a sufficient number of floats in the parade this year. Also, it was a problem for them to get their float to Lexington by 11.15 A.M., since the Arlington parade, in which they were also participating, would not be over until noon. They did not know wherethey would be in the Arlington parade. It was suggested that perhaps they could come another year. Mrs. Litchfield suggested to the committee that perhaps we could have restrictions on the size of commercial and political signs on the floats next year. COMMITTEEtEPORT The committee was informed that there was a good chance that General Schriver, his wife and aide would attend the parade. We will be informed by Hanscom.
