VOLUME 4 DEAN THREATENING TO USE TROOPS Dunn's Parade Is Hailed As Big Success Dunn staged two Christ mas parades Friday night— ond featuring Santa Claus and the other a series of floats depicting the birth of Christ and both proved highly successful and left both ministers and children of the area happy. Dunn’s parade this year attract ed nation-wide attention and pub licity after Santa was kicked out of -the religious parade by decree of the ministers. But a compromise solution was worked out. Santa came to town about 5 o’clock and paraded through the business district on a fire truck and then sat on top of the fire truck and watched the religious parade go by about an hour later. The combined crowds which wit nessed the two events was reported , about the same size and possibly ' a little larger than the parade a year ago, when Santa Claus brought up the rear of the religious parade. DIFFERENT VERSIONS si Which parade drew the largest crowd was difficult to determine since they came so close together and most people had their own version of which drew the most people. But it seemed all the children were out to greet Old Santa. Other unite in the Santa parade Included I'the Dunn and Erwin high school bands and local Girl Scouts. Neith er of these units were allowed In the Christmas pageant parade. Bailee Chief Alton Cobb said he figured the crowd this year was about the same as a year ago. Tttegsqwd was estimated vari ously from 6.000 to 10.000 people. FLOATS BETTER Most people agreed that the floats in the religious parade were even prettier and more Impressive than a year ago. Twenty different churches of the area had floats in the parade and each of them de picted ti different event in the birth ► of Christ. The Rev. Ernest P. Russell, pas tor of the First Baptist Church and chairman of the ministerial com j'mittee In charge! of the religious parade, said everybody seemed highly pleased with the success of the event. J Chairman Dave. Kimmel of the Retail. Merchants! Committee said he thought the compromise ar rangement worked out well and that the controversy had served a good purpose In calling attention to the true meaning of Christmas and possibly also helped the crowd. Manager Norman Suttles of the Chamber of Commerce observed: “I think everybody wss happy.” Ministers of the town 1 who had been asked to stage the parade, } however, weren’t too happy about the controversy. -Some ministers said franklv they wouldn’t put on another Christmas parade for the town. » Chamber Voting On Board Group Member* of the Dunn Chamber of Commerce this week are bal loting by mall on three new mem bers of the chamber’s board of directors. -t The nominating committee has submitted a list of 31 names to ’ the members and they will be voted oh. by mail.
