Those which cannot cross the bridge, plus those afoot, will enter the parade at the top of the hill near the guard station. 'ihe parade will proceed west ward to the old Chevron station, where it will turn right, up the hill and go to Azalea Park, where many will wish to take pictures, and where the band will hold a brief concert. By driving only one way, one traffic lane will be left open at all times, acceding to the wishes of the state police The proposed route will give the parade a 2- mile run, considered plenty for many thousand people to see the entire spectacle. Eddie Thornton, in charge oi horses in the parade has asked people to refrain from using any fireworks which might excite the horses during the parade. It was pointed out that many of these horses had never been in any parade before, and may be ner vous to begin with. A serious ac cident could result.
