UNITS MARCH TOMORROW

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Bedecked with the armbands of Civilian Defense volunteers, wearing the insignia of their organizations, or carrying placards illustrating Harvard's contributions to the war effort, the College's contingent in Boston's "I Am an American" Day parade will leave en masse from in front of the Coop at 1 o'clock tomorrow.

Festivities, from the afternoon marching to pageants and a musical festival in the evening, will all take place in Boston proper instead of in the Stadium as originally planned.

The Student Council, Defense Service Committee, and other undergraduate organizations have lined up volunteer air raid wardens, firemen, spotters, auxiliary police, the marching battalion and a mechanized battery of the ROTC, and a few members at least, perhaps all, of the Band.

First in line will be Harvard's armed forces who start marching at noon after assembling on Berkeley Street between Beacon and Boylston and who will be reviewed along the parade route by Governor Saltonstall and Mayor Tobin among others.
