PATRIOTS DAY Dr. Hunt •uggested we omit the antique cars from this year's
afternoon parade. The owners of these cars didn't like the long wait in
East Lexington, nor the van in the parade before they came into view, nor
the people climbing over the. r expensive cars He suggested we see if the
public wants thr antique car, hack, and if they do want them hack, it might
be a good idea to label each car as to it make and year for the public's
information. Also, to limit the number of car , and bring out the cream
of the crop, it might he feasible to pay one club to come with its hest
pieces The committee agreed with Dr, Hunt, and. we will omit the car this
year.
