The parade will commence to move at 2 p.m. sharp.Many organizations and businesses have entered floats, motor 5 vehicles, animals and a variety of other entries. Many hundreds of t people will be involved. A difficult task of traffic control will be 3 faced by the Corona Police Department. For all these reasons it is imperative that the parade follow its schedule strictly.The route of the parade will be as already announced. It was found impossible to grant request to have a longer route due to the-number of youngsters who will be marching in the two bands, some of whom have to carry very heavy instruments.^ Route of the parade is as follows: Form on S. E. Boulevard; n proceed porthward dowjj Main street to Sixth street; proceed eastward on Si*cth« street to the City Park, turning on to S. E.

What effect this will have on the final total of y 1 entries is easily understood, n The intersection' at Sixth and Main will be a very advantageous is site from which to view the Fiesta parade, since a public address s system will be located there to announce each entry. Just a couple y I of blocks up the street will be another busy spot where the parade judges will be busy determining who wins the various parade trophies and ribbons.Outstanding entries are too numerous to predict at this time.
