The Edenton band was unable to participate due to a number of the members being on a trip to Chapel Hill. The parade began at the school « house and proceeded west on Church Street to 'Broad, then south on Broad Street to Water Street, where prizes were awarded by Mayor Leroy Has kett, with H. A. Campen as master of ceremonies. Jimmie Civils of the 'Highway Safe ty Division spoke briefly, comment ing the children and the club women for staging the program.
