to me is the opening da

en-

years ago we had a parade that resi-
dents bragged about for months af-

terwards. Why, Quesnel came no
where near it, and we could even
give Kamloops a few tips — ’twas
said. -

But last year’s effort failed to live

— and The Tribune was among the
also-rans, too.

I guess we all feel that we have
very good reasons for our failure to
participate, and 99% of them are
“no time and too much work.” But
I think that we should stop to real-
ize that if it were not for the Stam-
pede, we probably wouldn't be so
darned busy raking in a few more
shekels.

A lot of people probably feel they

are doing their part by working at
the grounds on tlfe concessions, but
there again we are laboring for the
almighty dollar as most of the profit
goes to an organization.
, Excepting those who are directly
concerned with the Stampede and al-
ready giving much of their time to
the annual affair, I think that every
business house in town should do
their bit by entering the parade,
even if it's only a decorated kiddie-
car.

We find that our biggest obstacle
is thinking up something original
that doesn’t involve too much labor.
(Our most original thought

float and having John Gibbon turn-

it you
August. Now. don’t think because you
can’t afford a couple of tons of rich
topsoil that you can’t grow prize
flowers. Just look what Stangoes did
last year. (We're still bragging, you
see).

From a small plot approximately
3 feet wide by 60 feet long, we got a
first and second for asters, and a
second in nasturtiums. This year we
have added another plot about the
same size, so the Averys, Pigeons
and Lockwoods of town had better
look out. There won't be any holding
us down now, and we’re liable to win
all the rose bowls in sight,

Incidentally, our soil which is a
combination of dry gravel, baked
clay and pig iron also grows a mag-
nificent lawn.

All knitters, sewers and hobbyists
better get started on their projects
too, as August will be along very
soon. I started on.a sweater for
Elaine some weeks ago, and so far
have two rows of knit two, purl two,
on the needle; but with luck I may
possibly finish and enter it in an ef-
fort to repeat my last year's luck.

Get busy!
