There wasn't one. By 9.30 thousands milled around on the shopping plaza parking lot expecting Roman Candles. By 10 o'clock dis- gruntled parents and disappointed children started to dis- perse creating a king-size traffic jam. "We were swamped with calls from people inquiring about a fireworks display at the shopping centre," said Police Chief Herbert Flintoff. He said the callers were told police had no knowledge of such a display and advised people to go home. They are in the habit of expecting fireworks in the plaza said the chief. He added that the two officers on regular duty soon had the traffic problem under control. "No-one had. arranged anything and we're investigat- ing how the rumor was started," said Mrs, M, M.
