Plans for the event were unveiled Tuesday morn- ing by Charles Gray who heads a committee of the Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen club to assist the Orono Amateur Athletic Association in their annual carnival. The proceeds from the carnival are to go towards the arena building fund. Mr. Gray stated that more attention has to be directed toward the'carnival and the Kinsmen felta parade would be the key to get more people involved in the annual event. The Kinsmen- promotor has set a target of fifty floats for the parade as well as having some bands in attendan1ce and he is looking towards the Clarke school band to assist with the promotýion. t was pointed out that over one hundred letters are being sent out to local businessmen and organizations to interest them in provîding a float for the parade. The parade will start at the Orono Park and travel to the Orono fair grounds where the carnival is to be held. The date June 29th does coincide with the celebration of Canada Week and such an event in Orono could well be part of the nation-wide cele- bration. Mr. Gray stated that al businessmen in the area will receive a letter within the next few days to seek their assistance in the parade and this will also hold true for local organizations.
