Forty Floats Are Expected to Be in Festival Parade John Lee Webster Urges Pros pects to Hustle—Is Going to W ashington Sunday. "If there are other firms or organ izations in Omaha who intend to have a part in the daylight parade (Patri otic, Historic America), during the Ak Sar-Ben festivities, they had better contract for their floats at once or they will find the gate has been shut on them. You can’t wait until Sep tember to build the floats,” reminded John Bee Wehster, attorney, in dis cussing the closing preparations being made in connection with the organiz ing of the project. The number of floats contracted for has reached 32. Creighton university and the Knights of Columbus have joined forces and contracted for an Indian float representing Father De Smet's mission to the Indians at Coun cil Bluffs in 1870. Father De Smet’s activities promoted the signing of a treaty between the Indian tribes and the white men and Insured the lat ter'a safety. Redskins Needed. It will be necessary, Mr. Webster said, to have a number of Indian chiefs on the float and a marching group composed of Omahas, Winne bagoes and Sioux to follow it. He pointed out the effectiveness of the Indians used in the tercentennial celebration in 1920. Qmaha Real Estate board has also chartered a float. The Occidental Building & Loan association, Con servative Savings & Loan association and the Omaha Building association have contracted a float between them which will portray the American home as a safeguard of American liberty. The printing Industry will be rep resented with a float entitled “Ben jamin Franklin.” Total May Be 40. Thirty-two floats already contracted for are 14 more than the number of those in the last electrical parade. The total number of floats is expected to reach the 40 mark. Thirty-five bands and 6,000 men are expected to march in the pageant. It is likely thnt the Knights of Ak Sar-Ben will sponsor two floats, one representing the army and navy and the othiy, in honor of the invited notables, presenting the United States in all its glory as it stands before the world today.
