STRAW HAT DAY 13TH; BIG TIME PARAfiK TO START AT 11 ' FROM .MARION SQUARE Balloons Will Bo Released From Top of 85-Foot Ladder by Al Jvrause There will be just one class of persons in Salem for whom Fri day, the 13th, will be an unlucky day, and that will be the few who neglect or refuse to 'line up with the "straw hat day" program. The reason? Why, yesterday the thermometer rose to 72 de grees, and the weather man pre dicted it would go still higher to day; and before the day is over, he who is not protected by a cool straw or panama will be casting envious glances toward those who exercised more foresight; in fact, he probably will get hot under the collar. The program centers about the parade, which will include floats prepared by local 'haberdashers, decorated cars, "the fire fighting equipment and. city officials.. The 'parade "will 'form at Marion square, and from there the pro cession will go along Commercial to State, east on State to Waverly, north to Court', west on Court to Liberty, and south to the corner of State and Liberty, where the concluding exercises will take plate. These will include the presenta tion of straw hats to the city of ficials, and the releasing of 25 balloons, one of which will carry a certificate entitling the finder to receive an attractive straw head covering. The balloons will be released from the top of an 85-foot fire lad der, which will be hoisted aloft as a part of the ceremony. Al Krause, r.ne of the merchants sponsoring the event, has consented to risk his neck by climbing this ladder to release the balloons.
