! Cherrians Give Reason Why No Salem Rose Parade Entry ; Why has the Salem Cnerrians organization decided against enter ing the Portland Rose festival -parade this year? f. This question has entered many a local discussion since the l- Cherrians' recent announcement to the effect. To straighten out what the Cherrians have considered misunderstandings of the decision. King I JJUlK UA a. luetic, ucau ui mc &iuuy, usucu uic luuuwiug uireiucut. A lie uucsuuu uu wc u&cu swhy the Cherrians are taking no j; part in the Rose festival parade for the first time since 1913. Our only I answer is that we have not been Invited. The -rules- of the Rose parade specifically set forth that ; bands, drill teams, drum corps, not accompanying a float, will ; come by invitation; only. When asked to enter a float, we felt that . we could not afford to enter one i this year and we are very reluct i ant to ask the merchants of the ) town, to make donations for this ".purpose. Coat Prohibitive "During the past years, the cost of our participation in the Rose narade has become more and more expensive until last year the cost of our float was $1,800.00. Jn ad : dition to this, we have had to pay ' all the expenses of the Salem high tchool band plus the cost or leea lne the entire group. Last year, after entering a float at a cost of $1,800.00, we took our queen and 'court to Portland in brand new convertibles. They would not per ; mit these cars to enter the parade with our float until they were be decked with fresh flowers at an additional cost of $249.50, "For the nast three years. Salem . has had its Cherryland festival , and each time we have asked Portland to participate. EachJ time, they have sent a few of their organization which is similar to ours but only after assurances to . them that they would be wined, dined and entertained. Except for these few persons who have en tered our parade, there has been no effort on the part of the city of Portland to In any way contribute to our show as we have to theirs for the past 37 years. CervalUs Bid Okehed :,. "We might also add that after we had received an invitation to attend the Corvallis parade on the : same date, we telephoned the com mittee at Portland to that effect and asked If they were anticipat , lng our entry into the parade. We ' were assured that they were look' ' ipg for us and the following day "They sent a delegation to Salem to meet with the heads of the city, . Chamber of Commerce, Retail .

At that time they were assured that we could not enter a float for economic reasons and. although this delega tion represented the authority of the. Rose Festival association, we did not even receive an oral sug gestion that the Cherrians would be welcome without the entry of a float. "The last communication which we received irom mem react in Dart, quote 'We are looking for ward to seeing the Salem float in the parade and the perpetuation of our friendship and cooperation.' Were Not Invited "Our job as CLerrians is to ad vertise the city of Salem but this has never been done without in' vitation. Our position on this is sue is mat we nave not been in' vited. ' "We will .however carry on our work as we have done in the past and upon invitation from Victoria, B. C, the Cherrians are ,leaving Salem on a chartered bus May 23rd to attend the Victoria cele bration which has been held for 59 years. This will be the longest trip the Cherrians have made since they went to Pendleton In 1913."; WU Officers Elected by Run-Off Vote Stanley E.
