Grant for society A letter from Williams Lake Aquatic Society to the Village Commission asking for financial help resulted in a donation of $300. This money had been earmarked by the commission for the Aquatic Society in the budget estimates for the year. Around Town Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

The operators have already turned down 137 requests for reservations, although some of these are probably repetitions. But there will be many more turned away before Monday. It would be impossible to try and provide accommodation for the size of a show that would tax the facilities of cities the size of Kamloops or Prince George. Many visitors will wind up sleeping in cars or tents, or going back down the highway as far as Clinton to find a bed. Alternative is to stay up all night, and the Stampede pro- gram tries to keep something going for a good part of each 24-hour period. and aus were cheek The annual Aquatic Day on Sunday will start off the four days of festivities, but from there on its an all-western show. Early risers will be able to grab ‘cowboy breakfast’ from the rail Riders’ chuckwagon and then takepart in square danc- ing on the street if they wish, joining members of Williams Lake Square Dance Club. Bill Broughton, Stampede As- sociation president, will lead the parade off from the top entrance to the grounds at 11 a.m. on Monday. The parade will move along Oliver Street to First Avenue, where it will turn right to Bor- land Street and continue down Borland and swing left on to Mackenzie Avenue. The route will follow Mackenzie to the lane beside Swanson Equipment, up the-lane to First Avenue and along to Oliver again. The pro- cession will return to the Stam- pede grounds via Oliver Streét. Pudge Moon reports that the parade is shaping up nicely. The parade marshal says that the historic stagecoach drawn by four horses will make its ap- pearance. Also in the proces- sion will be 12 pretty major- ettes from Kamloops, who will put on three performances in all, A 26-piece brass band trom the Army division at Penticton going to fill the air with music. This band will be ac- companied by a marching group. Of course, our own Kiwanis boys and girls band will take part, and also the old Rube Band. Music in abundance.
