No ' Parade Santa Claus will be a Seaforth visitor on Saturday, November 25, if present plans of the mer- chants' committee of the Cham- ber of Commerce materialize. 'Discussed at., a recent meet- ing •of 'merchants, Santa's visit will probably be rather short compared to. previous years and much of the ceremony and fan fare that has greeted him will be eliminated. Committee chairman_ Ed Tay- lor said it was unlikely there would be a Christmas Parade since the Labor day centennial parade had ,placed a heavy de- mand on the Iimited- number of merchants available to 'assist. The Meeting was of the opie- ion that it would be difficult to repeat -a suitable parade in the short .time available. While there probably will not be a parade Santa will be as- sured of the kind of reception to„which he is entitled Mr. Tay- lor said. He will be greeted by the SDHS band and later will distribute treats to area chil- dren. Whife details have not been worked out, a committee is in- vestigating the entire program” and is expected to report to a further general 'meeting sched- uled within -the next Week.
