City Parade Prizes
A prize will be given for the most typical Australian girl in next Monday’s Australia Day procession.
A pennant will also be awarded to the best float in each of the 11 groups in the procession.
The Australia Day Celebration Committee secretary (Mr. W. Murphy) said this yesterday.
Twelve bands will march in the procession. They will include the Northern Command, Queensland Mounted Infantry, and RAAF Bands.
Sports will be held at the Exhibition Ground starting at 11 am.
Mr. Murphy said the Australia Day committee would be grateful for suggestions on the form celebrations should take.
