There was a comic section, which brought out Maggie and Jiggs, Or-Iphan Or-Iphan Annie, Mickey Mouse and a host of others. I Dozens of other floats, with laughing laugh-ing boys and girls, lent their attractiveness attrac-tiveness to the 1933 parade, which will be paged as one of the. most dazzling features of all the Strawberry Straw-berry days.
