Cordboord Castle in Garage Alil Part of Parade Effort Mrs. Lynn ,Killingbeck o ieA'venue in BowmniVille staples the finishing touches to a huge castie that will be t he central prop on her family's float in the '76 Bowm-anville Santa Claus Parade. This year 's effort - - Cinderella - - marks the fourth time that the Killingbecks have entered a float in the big event.

To add color and detail to the float, Mrs. Killingbeck will include an orange pumpkin patch, and she'il round out the props with bales of hay and some split rails.

The Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade always wel- cornes additional floats, and for untried beginners, here are few tips to get you on your way. First of ali--get over the feeling that your effort won't be done well enough. A littie planning with pencil and paper, and sorne thought about the materials you'll use is a good start. Then get in touch with the Santa Claus Parade Float Cornittee. The therne for this year's parade is "Storyland Cornes Alive" and a long list of possible float suggestions has been drawn up to provide ideas and avoid duplication of effort. 30 groups have already chosen suitable subjects for their floats, but there are rnany left over. For example, Old Mother Hubbard, Jack and Jili, and Peter, Peter Purnpkin Eater (plus several more) can be yours for the asking. The comrnittee mem- bers are also very open- minded, so if you have an original brainwave, they'll be happy to hear about it. Phone Mr. Edie Cole (623-2405) or Kingsley VanNest (623-2757) for further information. Speaking of Mrs. Cole, she's one of the most experieniced float builders in this neck of the woods, and she'll be more than happy, to share her secrets of success with you. Avoid Crepe Paper When it gets right down to the building, use large, color- ful props. With up to 60,000 spectators watching from many dîfferenit vantage points it helps to make things big and bright. Don't use crepe paper, especially in costumes. If the weather should turn out to be damp (and one year there was a deluge), the dye ruas quite freely. It also rips easily, especialiy when worn by young children. Paper mache can also pose problems. Unless you have a heated garage to work in, it takes a long, long time to dry--as other float builders have discovered to their chagrin. On the other hand, this medium is excellent for fashioning oversized masks and head gear--so don't rule it out entirely. Make sure that any cos- turnes sewn for the children that will ride on your float will be large enough to fit over heavy, warrn clothing, be- cause temperatures can plunge to the sub-zero mark in late November, and the little ones wili be, sitting sti for a long tirne. The parade commîttee has over 5000 feet of foul in five sparkling colors to help dress up the floats, so don't hesitate to make use of it. Each entry can also be subsidized up to $35, which can cover the cost of ail materials if used wisely. The organizers will also heip out if you need a tractor, trailer or wagon to mount your masterpiece on. Over the years, the parade committee bas made some excellent contacts who are always Willing to lend a band. And, if you need assistance with rnake-up, a large contin- gent of Rotary Anas will be at Central Public School on the morning of November 2tb to apply the greasepaint.
