PACMGIE o Ed Youngman's Column The Statesmnn's Grass Boots Columnîst If any of >'ou folks ever go ta see the Calgary Stampede, be sure and arrive in time for the big parade on opening day. Be sure, too, that you are in your place of vantage aiong the parade route by g. a.m. if You don't went ta miss an>' of the shenanigens that teke place be- fore the parade actuelly gets under way. This year, on July 5, in an 85 degrae sunshine, ninety thousand bug-eyed men, women and children lined the parade route hours before the event took place; every window. fiat roof, tops of vehicles, were jam- med with the expectant throng. A couple of enterprising John- nies brought seven foot step ladders, calmiy set them in place well back in the crowd, mount- ed their perch, set on the top step and presto-a grandstand seat.

She had a microphone and ampli- fier; instead of bawling the changes out in a reucous voice, as though calling the hogs, like ,so man>' of aur eastern caller offers, she sang it, in perfec time ta the music, in a pleasan contralto. When she sang "Th Alabama Jubiiee", change th crowd really epplauded. The Kinsman float was de signed in such a manner tha the onlookers could throv money on it (and believe mE they did) if any coins missei the vehicle and feil on th, pavement they were picked u. by men seiected for that pur pose. One of the groups who realli stole the show, was the Moun ties, who headed the parade This group of sarious face( men, marching with easy grae dressed in Stetson bats, scarle tunics. derk trousers, boots pol ished to mirror perfection, San brown belt, hoîster and spur likewise, epitomized the ver3 finest the world cen offer ii soidier policemen.
