Plans for the Fourth Annual Halloween Festival under the auspices of the service clubs of Oneonta are complete. Capt. Lewis M. Baker, general chairman of the affair this year, presided at a meeting attended by representatives from the Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions clubs. The marchers will assemble in Walnut Street and proceed down Elm Street to Main, Chestnut and Academy streets beginning at 7:30 o’clock. The parade will consist of three or four divisions of school students and one of adults and floats. Persons planning to enter vehicles must register with Capt. Danforth D. Bolton at the Building & Loan office not later than 10 a.m., Wednesday, October 31. Prizes will be given for 12 different types of costumes and floats. As the parade disbands on Academy Street, the younger students will be taken to the gymnasium at the Academy Street School where a special program will be held.
