Milwaukee’s circus parade is recommended by local viewer

By BERNIECE H. DWYER My tour catalog described the 4th of July circus parade at Milwaukee as fun for both young and old, and it proved to be just that. Forty people from lower Michigan and northern Indiana boarded a new Indiana Motor airconditioned bus at 7 a.m. on the 4th in South Bend and followed the toll road to Chicago. The sky line of Chicago so close at hand from the Skyway now boasts a newcomer — the Sears building. Though not yet completed, our tour escort told us it is the highest in the world. A large freighter was anchored in the river waiting to be loaded or unloaded. There was little smog over the city and even the traffic was not heavy. We were soon leaving Chicago and heading north on 1-94 for Milwaukee. Arriving in Milwaukee around 11 a.m., we found the down-town streets already lined with people awaiting the parade, due to begin at 2 p.m. Parking for the buses had been reserved onlyx two blocks from the parade route so we had but a short distance to walk to find what we thought would be a good place from which to view the five to seven miles of parade. We had been warned to bring our own lawn chair. The theme of the parade is to authentically recreate the circus parades of old and is staged in cooperation with the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and the Circus World Museum at Baraboo, Wise. The The first section, “Yesterday on Wheels,” consisted of more than 60 antique

Flying Pierces to headline airshow at Mentone airport

Walt and sandi Pierce will headline the August 12 airshow at the Mentone airport. The only husband-wife airshow team in the United States, the Flying Pierces, who use the Mentone airport as their summer headquarters, have flown in airshows all over the United States and have appeared on national television on the Mike Douglas Show, What’s My Line? and To Tell The Truth. However, the August 12 show will be the first time area residents have seen a demonstration of sandi’s specialty —a wingride atop husband Walt’s Stearman as he puts the airplane through a series of intricate maneuvers and upside down flying. Both Pierces are accomplished

Makahiki scheduled this week end in Syracuse

A grand three-day week end has been planned in Syracuse for the Sea Scouts, Mariners, Senior Girl Scouts and Explorers ranging in age from 14 to 21 years who come from Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota and Missouri to make up the Makahiki. This is the seventh gathering Swimmer is injured when struck by boat Dick Feldes, 26, of Van Werp, Ohio, was admitted to Goshen hospital Sunday after being struck by a skier near the Enchanted Hills beach on Wawasee Lake at 2:52 p.m. The 1968 Century 18 foot boat which was pulling the skier which struck Feldes was owned by Patrick Breece of Westfield. Gary Sidler, driver of the boat,

cars, some of them of 1918 vintage, all moving on their own power carrying the owner and his family appropriately attired in the fashion of that year. The second section, “Salute to our Country,” was introduced by a Stringer Wagon pulled by a mule hitch from Missouri. This was sponsored by the United Indians of Wisconsin and represented many tribes. There were bands in this section from every branch of the military. I thought the U. S. Coast Guard band from New London.. Conn., in their dazzling white uniforms unusually sharp. Then came over 60 ornately gilded historic circus wagons all pulled by various hitches of Percherons, Belgians or Clydesdales. Some were threetiered with a band playing its lungs out on the top tier or a girl playing some type of musical instrument common to the circus of yesteryear. Some wagons were carrying wild animals — tigers, lions, leopards, cubs, a very unhappy hippopotamus straight from the Nile River and even an assortment of monkeys who were obviously enjoying every minute of their tour through downtown Milwaukee. The fourth section depicted scenes of Wild West shows including Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill’s Bandwagon number 80 of 1903 pulled by a hitch of six beautiful Percherons. In still another section, circuses of other countries were represented —- particularly Canada, Great Britain and Italy. There were two Scottish Pipe

pilots. Walt is a commercial pilot with instrument, flight instructor, multi-engine and B-34 ratings, sandi (she uses all small letters) started aerobatic training while still a student pilot. She is a commercial pilot with instrument, basic and instrument flight instructor, multiengine, advance and instrument ground instructor ratings. They have been featured in most major aviation magazines and are recognized as professionals in their field who can be counted on for hair-raising entertainment. Art Swango, a Rochej ter native who lives near Wabash and bills himself as “Mr. Impossible,” will show spectators how lie got his nickname as he flies his own style of aerobatics — quit? a feat,

held in Syracuse. This week end — August 11,12 and 13 — is packed full lof events for the kids. A Hawaiian theme has been planned with a luau Saturday and a dance both Friday and Saturday. This event is sponsored by the Warsaw Lions club and Explorer Post 67.

The accident is still under investigation. Feldes was assisted by the Cromwell first aid.

bands in this section that I especially enjoyed. The Living Fairy Tale Fantasies featured Barnum and London Circus floats. The pretty young girl atop the Old Woman in the Shoe wagon of 1881 couldn’t possibly have had so many children she didn’t know what to do. There were also musical wagons and calliopes in this group. 8 Perhaps the most popular in the entire parade were the elephants ranging iif size from the huge grandfather to the baby bringing up the rear. They couldn’t have been very comfortable in the 80 degree sunshine under the heavily embroidered blankets they were wearing, but they gave no outward signs of rebelling. The next to the the last section portrayed our flag in various settings from Washington crossing the Deleware to the recreation of a Civil War unit. Betsy Ross and the Statue of Liberty floats were noteworthy. The over-two-hour parade ended with the Schlitz 40-horse hitch pulling a Bandwagon built just for this occasion. Ten teams of Belgians, four abreast, driven by Dick Sparrow and son from Zearing, lowa, were a magnificent example of true team work. Although I cannot endorse the produce of its chief sponsor; I must say the parade was a fabulous exhibition of circus memorabilia. The constant breeze from Lake Michigan and the cloudless sky contributed to a most enjoyable day spent in Milwaukee, Wise.

considering he has only one arm. Joining the Pierces and Swango will be Henry Burden of New York. Now living in Rochester, “Hank” Burden, who last year barnstormed with a Stearman, is a beginning aerobatic pilot capable of putting his Pitts Special through difficult aerobatics. Charles and Mark Wells of Salem, 111., will round out the show. Mark is rapidly winning recognition in aerobatic competition and was recently first in unlimited competition in Canada. Canada.

He also told Mikel that there was more of the drug in his billfold.

member of the U. S. Marine Band in its 175-year history. Miss Johnson, a striking girl, hails from Saginaw, Mich., and is a graduate of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she played in the university band and orchestra. Her specialty is the french horn, which she will play Friday night. At 21 years of age, Miss Johnson beat out 14 other men musicians for the coveted spot she holds in the band. The fact that she is good goes without saying. She joined the band on May 16. Colonel Harpham, a friend of presidents, was assistant director of the marine band for 17 years before becoming director, and was a trombonist, cellist and narrator for 20 years before that. The U. S. Marine Band was called “The Presidents Own Band” by Thomas Jefferson, we were reminded by Colonel Harpham, and is considered one

At such occasions as inaugurations, the band is always seen on television providing music for the occasion. Give Something Back Asked what brought him to Smith-Walbridge, Colonel Harpham said, “Well, you could just say I’m trying to give a little something back. I’ve had so much given to me. And, besides, it’s good to work with young people.” Colonel Harpham has two assistant directors who are minding the store while he is here in Indiana. He plans to return to Washington Saturday morning. Smith-Walbridge and those attending the Friday night concert will be the better off for the visit of this distinguished personality.
