Feature Will Be Mam
moth Balloon Parade
Saturday
The 100th anniversary season of
Ocean View at Norfolk will get under
way with a mammoth free balloon pa
rade on Saturday, May 29. The pa
rade is just one of many free attrac-j
tions scheduled throughout the entire (
15-week summer season, to mark the
100th anniversary of the sale of the
first lot at the Chesapeake Bay resort.
The parade itself will be more than
a mile long and will include 40 huge,
balloons in all sizes and shapes. In
cluded among the attractions will be a'
45-foot balloon caliope which actually
plays, a 40-foot life raft carrying an
* admiral, a wave and a sailor, a 20-foot
cowboy on a 22-foot horse, a two-head
ed dragon, a huge elephant and rider
and numerous other figures and
scenes. Several bands also will march
in the parade.
An aerial act on Sunday and a fire
works display on Monday, both at the j
Ocean View Amusement Park, will|
conclude the week-ends’ free attrac
tions.
The anniversary celebration, spon
sored by the Norfolk Chamber of Com
merce and Ocean View organizations,
is being conducted by a committee
headed by Frank Wertz. This com
mittee has arranged a complete pro
gram of daily, mid-week and week
end events, including square dances,
bathing beauty contests, band con
certs, free aerial,acts and fishing and
other athletic contests. A complete
list of these events will be listed later.
The present Ocean View, dotted with
homes, cottages, hotels, apartment
houses and motels, is a far cry from
the Ocean View which existed at the
time of the old Ocean View Hotel
where women rocked contentedly on
the veranda as the menfolk fished and
the children played, well-covered on
the sand.
But the quiet Bay water beyond
the white sand has attracted more
fishermen and bathers each year, and
the croakers and spot still offer
sportsmen an easy catch.
The View was formerly out of the
city limits, but the city swelled right
to the shores of the bay. Ocean View
visitors may enjoy the night life of
Virginia’s largest city, its theaters,

What consumers anticipate in the way of future price changes—regard
less of whether such anticipations eventually prove right or wrong—has an
important influence on their current economic decisions. It is significant that
; a recent Federal Reserve Board survey shows that, in early 1954, the largest
I group of consumers expect prices to remain steady. As always, a certain
I number expect prices to fall and others expect prices to rise, but there is not
a majority in either direction. This is not too much different from the situa- '
tion a year ago, but it is vastly different from the pattern in early 1951 when
77 Vc of consumers expected prices to rise and early in 1952 when 53% ex
pected them to rise. . .
1 About 41 per cent of the consumers now expect prices to remain sub-
I stantially unchanged during the rest of this year. These people are not like
| ly to engage in panic spending in order to buy before prices increase, but
, neither are they likely to hold off in anticipation of lower prices.
A somewhat smaller number— 36 per cent—expect falling prices. These
consumers may postpone some types of buying, thereby leaving a backlog
of needs and desires in the future. To some extent, the hoped-for lower prices
have already materialized. , .
Another 16 per cent of all consumer units in early 1954 expect rising
prices. (An additional 7 per cent Were uncertain as to what to expect). This
is smaller than the corresponding percentage in any year since the beginning
of the Korean War. , ,
In summarv. the trend suggests that while consumers, in their present
mood, are not likely to be scared into buying in the near future, they can be
i enticed into buying. ...
