Mail Carriers Decline to Parade in Flower Festival
San Antonio mail carriers will skip the Battle of Flowers parade despite initial plans to participate. A Battle of Flowers Association committee pressed Postmaster Armistead Thursday to have carriers march in the parade, but Armistead announced the post office band would not join. He stated he would not discuss reasons, emphasizing maintaining dignity and no controversy with the association. The parade was part of local Festa celebration with flags and a post office display, no official cost or appropriation. Carriers voted on whether to modify their parade participation, while decorations and flags prepared at the federal building. Armistead accepted responsibility for guardrail and display arrangements.
