    “Today the Little Falls “Get Out the Vote” swings into the final phase as members of the Citizens’ Committee prepare to go all out tonight and tomorrow to secure a record vote for this city. Tonight, one of the most colorful parades the city has seen in years will march through Main St. and end at Western Park where the floats will proceed to assigned positions framing the park and an outdoor show will be presented.”
