FLOAT MAKERS BESET BY TROUBLES GALORE Motor on One Truck Fails to Start; Driver of Another Is Lost. It was a doggone good parade and there were many nice floats in the line, but the makers of the floats had troubles galore. The Refrigerator Athletic club had worked for a week getting a float ready for the, parade. It was structed on a big truck back of the factory, and when it was finished, the float was too high to get it Inside any building. Then along came Thursday night's rala storm and the float got soaked.

But it was the soaking caused'the most trouble. When the boys got all ready to got into the parade yesterday) they found the motor wouldn't start. They ground and they crankeU they cussed and they sweat, but still the motor refused to start so the float never floated. The Girl Scouts had an attractive float in the parade, but just before the parade moved away, they discovered they had lost their driver, and then began a hurried effort to find some to drive the truck. Miss Carolefe Churchill, Girl Scout leader, finally drove the truck to the atartlng point and there founCi a driver for it.

The Eagles hunted all over town to find gray wigs for their old ago pension float, which while it was not awarded a prize, was one of the most Interesting in the parade. The Dfthl street automobile with Chauffeur' DeMunck and Mechanic Juday was entered In the parade but it broke down before the lino moved far. it was running, it was a big attraction. Of course the real attraction of the parade was the pneumonia special, a carload of good looking girls with bathing beauties atop the fenders. The German band boys "the Legion's Weenie band" built a float with beer kegs for seats and since the bandsters also are dru corps members, they parked Weenie band float In a downtown gal-age, Intending to break away from the drum corps as soon as It.

finished its parade, run to the truck, don makeup and costume and fall In at the rear of the parade. This couldn't be done, but the boys spend the rest of the af terriSoh. seranadlng the citizenry. They played "It Aint Gonna Rain No 'More," and it didn't. They played "How Dry I Am," but no one set up the schooners for them.

The paper mill's float, which won first place, ran into trouble during the afternoon when the gears locked in high speed and a wrecker had to tow tho float to a garage. The transmission will have 'to be torn down to unlock the gears. Come to FETKE'S FOR A GOOD TIME July 5 BIG DANCE Good Music COMPLETES FLIGHT. ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. July 4 H.
