NO ROOM AT THE INN That was the title o f the float shown here which was entered In the

inn of Mary and Joseph. Those in the tableau were; C. W. Buries. Jr., as the innkeeper; Ruby Suries

in tableaux some of the events connected with the birth of Christ. (Daily Record photo by Louis

The largest crowd ever to 1
attend a Christmas Parade
in Dunn thronged the town ;
Saturday night and hailed I
The Christmas Story Pa- j
geant and Parade as the best
ever staged here.
Chamber of Commerce officials \
and the police department estima- j
ted the crowd from 10 to 20,000
people.
The story of Christ’s birth was
depicted by 24 floats and choral
groups, with more than 20 churches
of this section taking part in the j
religious .event. + V
With th4 exception of ‘me Santa ]
Claus float and two Dunn fire
trucks, the parade carried out a :
religious theme. A different scene j
in the Christmas story was por
trayed on each of the floats.
Each of the floats showed much
ingenuity and that many days of j
work and effort had been spent on I
each. There were no outside decor
ators, the floats having been en
tirely bulit and made by the church
groups.
The parade formed on North
King Avenue, proceeded down Broad
Street and then back again.
HUNDREDS PARTICIPATE
Hundreds of people rode on the
floats, either as choral singers or
as characters in The Christmas
Story. Many of the floats were
brilliantly lighted and some had
loudspeaker units to carry the
voices to the crowds.
Spectators not only lined the
sidewalk and streets several deep,
but stood on steps, in store win-
I dows, in trees and on top of build
ings.
! Some had expressed the fear that
a religious parade magnifying the
true spirit of Christmas might not
draw as large a crowd as the usual
type purely commercial Christmas
parade, but these fears were dis
pelled hours before the parade. At
least two hours before the parade
j started, the town’s business district

Federal deficit
Os Year Is Cut
To 5.5 Billions
WASHINGTON (IP) A slow
down in defense spending
may cut this year’s federal
deficit to about $5,500,000,
000.
■ That is a little more than hall
of the $10,300,000,000 deficit for Hi -
1953 fiscal year which the admin
istration predicted four months ago
And it is only 38 per cent of the
$14,400,000,000 deficit which Preei
dent Truman foresaw when he sent
his budget message to Cong: ess
last January.
Government experts said that a
lag in defense spending, which has
never been fully explained to the
public, is mainly responsible for
keeping the Treasury from going
as deep in the red as expected
Tax collections have been run
ning a little higher than the Treas
ury anticipated, but not much. It
now appears that the government
will take in about $69,000,000,000 be
fore the 1953 fiscal year ends next
June 30, instead of $68,700,000,000 as
previously thought.
LESS SPENDING
The big change which has thrown
the administration’s guesses out of
kilter has been in spending. The
experts now figure that it will run
about $74,500,000,000 instead of
$79,000,000,000.
Congress helped to put a crimp
in spending by cutting many of
President Truman’s budget requests.
But all of the Congressional cuts \
were supposedly taken into account
last August, when the Treasury re
vised the expected deficit down
ward from $14,400,000,000 to $lO,-
300,000,000.
The 55-day steel strike last sum
mer offers one obvious explanation
, for the lag in defense spending
which has taken place since Con
gress went home.

County and Senior Grand Warden erf North Carolma
emphasized character building in a Sunday night ser
mon at the Dunn First Baptist Church, opening the 100th
anniversary of celebration of Palmyra Masonic Lodge.
Character, he told the group, is
not due to something without but|
something within. He spoke of the
•virtues of the Masonic philosophy
and pointed out that their appli
cation would inevitably lead to the
building of good character.
Approximately 85 members of the
Dunn Masonic Lodge occupied the
section in the church that had
been reserved for them. More than
200 members of the other churches
.in the community were present
for the occasion.

A play, reminiscent of high school

the Erwin High School auditorium.
The play “High School Hero” Is
set in a principal’s office and the
majority of the cast are boys and
girls of high school age. The story
is particularly fascinating for the
younger generation, because it is
concerned with their own kind of
every-day problems; many of the
scenes parallel in their own exper
ience.
It tells the story of Bill Rockwell,
the high school hero, Class Presi

prepared to sacrifice his good name
