This picture which appeared I I . h I By RALPH CAMERON Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer TORONTO - One of the great- est pieces of Showmanship in Island history reached a climax Saturday morning when the City at Charlottetown float ended its long journey to Toronto with the plaudits of thousands of people. as it rolled along in the big Grey Cup Parade. While the applause of the crowd for the float was wel- come. the finest compliment of all came from Prime Minister Dicicnbaker. who watched the parade from Toronto’s City Hall. with the Mayor of Toronto and Mrs. Diefenbaker. He told all Canada. in a tele- vision appearance. the "City of Charlottetown float was the one that impressed me the most.“ “it reminded us that Char- lottetown was the cradle of Con- federation. and that this great nation had its beginnings in a historic meeting in the Provin- cial Building in that city nearly 100 years ago." He added his in the Oshawa Times in st Friday shows Mayor Christine Thomas admiring the float as it made a stop at City Hall. At left is Benny Doiron and at ' right is Hawley Crockett, city of Charlottetown employees. who accompanied the float. Ch'town Float Scores Toronto opinion that the float was "symbolic of the unity of the a 0 E 5 Mayor A. Walthen Gaudet said this morning “we are simply delighted. We were delighted with the TV coverage of the float in the parade. and the words 0 the Prime Minister were just simply wonderful." Ticker tape curled around the replica of the Provincial Build- ing, which was sprinkled with confetti as the parade w o u n d through the financial district. Perhaps its greatest triumph came in the interest shown by those accompanying floats, from other parts of Canada. as they crowded around at the end of the big show. The nicest and most sincere compliment of all came from two girls in their early twen- tilas. Both crippled. they were wheeled up in chairs, and the. crowd, good naturedly. made a special space for them and police watched to make sure no one stood in front.

It moved through the streets in one of the best parades ever staged here, and was seen by uncounted thousands of people in person. and millions more as TV cameras carried it into the homes across the continent. The parade was a fantastic kaleidoscope of color and mo- tion. as pretty girls in profusion vied with gorgeous floats for at- tention. and one band after ano- ther filled the air with music ranging from the popular foot- ball classic. ‘She's just an All- American girl' to marching tun- es and popular songs. Clowns in great brought shrieks of joy from kids of all ages. Karts and two- way bicycles also delighted the tremendous throng which filled every inch of sidewalk. curb. and street available. and police had a hard time moving them back to let the parade through. DRAWBACKS, TOO But the day had its drawbacks as well as its joys. as the never- ending fog spoiled picture attempts. Too often. it would close in to spoil good shots, and in the end, spoiled the day for thousands of football fans when it almost completely fogged in the field and brouglpg numbers the Grey Cup game to an e for that day. A But the day was far from spoiled for the happy Toronto crowd. which lined miles of ci- ty streets and waited for hours in the damp chlllness. During the parade. memories of the past were recalled when Nia- gara Falls Shriners Club pass- ed in a steamboat replica of the ‘Matd of the Mist' as they ad- vertised their interest in helping crippled children. One of te newer came in for attention when Sudbury Junior Chamber Commerce float depicted the life and times of the Flintstones. But on all sides. praise wee showered the Charlotte- town entry. with one phrase rec . “Isn't it wonderful and to think they come so far." STORM OF PRAISE But even the reception given the float in the parade was an anti climax to the storm praise it received in advance. both en route from Charlotte- town and in Toronto. There can be little doubt that ed more advance publicity. and more concentrated publicity here. than any other float in the parade. as every television sta- tion played it big. with pictures 0 no A coroner‘s jury concluded last night there was no neglig- ence on the part of the driver of the vehicle involved in the highway death of Mrs. George Ferguson at Morel] Nov. 14.
