"I Love a Parade" might have been the theme song that inspired this year's King Korn committee to out do all previous efforts along this line. Then again, It may be that the com mittee was just recalling what prov ed to be the highlights of last year and the previous year's show, when people stood at the curb lines, twenty deep, extending back to store fronts, while the various parades were being pulled off, the line sometimes surg ing out Into the street far enough to impede progress of the paraders. Be that as it may, there is one thing certain, and that is the 1934 King Korn Karnival may be a little short of corn (new crop), but will more than make up for that with a series of bigger and better parades than ever before. The two weeks preceding opening of the festival will witness four theme parades, each one sponsored by a sep arate organization and all trying to cutdo the others when it comes to "putting it over." The first of these theme parades is to be a Colonial and Indian parade on Wednesday night, September 5, with Mynard and community in charge. On Saturday night, Sept. S, comes the Pioneer and 49ers' parade, spon sored by BREX shop employees. Wednesday night, Sept. 12 will wit ness the All Nations parade, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. The last of these four pre-carnival parades will take place on Saturday night, Sept. 15th, being a Stunt pa rade, sponsored by the Woman's club, who, it will be recalled did them selves proud last year in putting over a parade that made everyone sit up and take notice. All of the above four pre-carnival parades are scheduled to start at 8:15 sharp. Two Parades Opening Day On the opening day of tne restival, there will be two parades, the child ren's parade at 4 p. m., under auspices of the Woman's club, and a monster parade in the evening, incorporating all the features of the four pre-carnival parades outlined ..above. This parade will start at 7:30 in order to allow time afterwards for the open ing night band concert and regular gift night ceremonies. The afternoon parades are sched uled to start at the following hours: Wednesday 4:00 p.m. Thursday 1:30 p.m. Friday 3:00 p. ru. Saturday 2:00 p. m. Thursday, Sept. 20 will bring an other one of those big farm parades. Last year the farmers demonstrated that they can really put on a parade by coming through with the "hit" pa rade of the entire festival, and they expect to outdo their former efforts, according to Charley Barnard, who has the arrangements for that parade in hand again this year. Friday will be Merchants' parade, with a goodly list of floats promised. All Plattsmouth business houses will be urged to enter this parade.
