Town police estimated that about 4,000 persons turned out for the event. The Ajax Majorettes took first award in the parade for major- ette groups and the St. John Ambulance float was judged the best one there. DRUMS, SIRENS Drums, band music and bleat- ing ambulance sirens heralded Santa's arrival. Clowns danced down Dundas Street followed by majorettes and brass bands. Floats passed and clowns sit- ting with feet hanging over the sides tossed candy to the chil- dren standing in front of their parents. More than $60 worth of candy was tossed out in the hour that the parade moved through Whitby. Finally, preceded by a large band, an enormous sleigh with Santa Claus in the back came by amid cheers and a general waving of hands from the chil- dren, some climbing to their parents' shoulders to get a bet- ter view. 30 FLOATS | More than 300 persons walked in the parade. Included were 30 floats, three bands and five majorette groups. The parade ended at the Cen- tennial] Building where those in it were served refreshments. The Santa float was sponsor- ed by the Rotary club. The parade left the parking lot at St. John's Evangelical! Church at 3. p.m. It passed down Dundas Street through central Whitby, turned up Perry and went across John Street to come down Brock. It turned up Ontario Street and ended at the!
