by the way .. By DORIS A. SANDERS THE PARADE There was nothing wrong with the Christmas parade here last Wednesday. It was a beautiful parade — beautiful floats, beautiful girls, fine mus ic from marching bands. But what was wrong with the peo ple ? Each year I come home from the parade more and more dis tressed. There is no cheering, no excitement, no applause. There was hardly a murmur, even from the little tots, when Santa came by waving to the crowd. I thought to give a little applause to one of the bands marching by, and perhaps start others doing the same. My ef forts resulted in stares which seemed to say, "what kind of a nut are you?” Really, what HAS happened to people? The crowds acted as though some sort of funeral procession, instead of a parade, was passing by. And e^p'T.aily, what lias happened to the youngster.^'’ Are they given so much all year 1 ong that Christmas no longer means anything to them? Have we, as parents, spoiled them so that they have notning to I >ok for ward to'.’ A lot of hard work g.>o - into producing a pa-ade. A lot of people stand around chilled to the hone, waiting to do their part to make trie parade a success. But when the units come by, ail they get are the curious stares of the .'dent on lookers. 1 honestly believe .!' Iwere a "downtown” merchant I’d be m favor of doing away with the parade. I believe I’d hire a good hand to play happy music dur.ng the shopping hours—or come up with something that would feat the public m a bet ter mood. It s going to take nie a week or so, I’m afraid, to get ove: the parade blues” be fore 1 can get into any sort of i;oiiday shopping mood. Again, let ire- stress, 1 do not criticize the parade itself.
