The committee again commented on the fact that float entries have diminished
in number during the past few gears It was felt that advice from Mr. Bogle might
encourage now applicants; it was also suggested. that those :rho had once entered
floats might have been discouraged if trucks or construction space were difficult
to locate on an annual bards. The TCC has not previously solicited businesses
for float sponsorship. Service clubs should be contacted individually. !4r Brea--
