MAY HOLD PARADE TO BOOM PREPAREDNESS Salt Lake Is Invited to Join Other Big Cities in Great National Movement. -r- Salt Lake has been invited to participate par-ticipate in tbe movement to hold nonpartisan non-partisan preparedness parades in a 1 1 eitios of the United States on June 'A. The invitation to join in the movement came to Mayor W.Mont Perry yesterday in the form of a telegram Which constitutes consti-tutes a joint appeal from the mayors of more than twenty of the largest cities in the United States. Mayor Ferry said last night that he would probably turn the matter over to the citizens ' training camp committee for handling. ''If the committee finds it advisable to have a parade of the sort urged, ' ' said the mayor, 1 ' I will give my hearty co-operation toward j making "it such a success as will reflect) Salt Lake's characteristic spirit of loy-i alty and patriotism." While no definite decision as to whether or not tho parade will be held will be made until the mayor lias conferred con-ferred with the citizens' training camp committee, it is thought likely by mem- hers of thrc ehm mitten whn have heard of the movement that Salt Lake will be in line with a demonstration. Raymond C. Nalor, chairman of the sub-committee on finance, said last night that he would be very much in favor of having1 hav-ing1 a parade and of making every effort to insure its being a splendid demonstration.
