. . . And More Paraders: Riders in the "Youth Day" parade were slowed to the marching tempo of the Detroit Police Children's Band which headed the column along with an American Legion color guard. Bicycle units were separated by cars bearing parade officials and judges, as above. At Ferry Field, after awards were made, each bike was fitted with a new light-reflecting safety feature by members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce working in four "assembly-line" units.

Freedom Week Brings Free Movies: Part of the lineup for the free movies at the Michigan Theater, first feature of yesterday's "Youth Day" activities, is pictured against E. Liberty St. storefronts. Following the show, most of the children entered the mass bicycle parade which terminated with a prize-award session at Ferry Field.

Quintuple (Or More) Parking: Youthful cyclists, hurrying into the free movies preceding yesterday's giant bicycle parade, stacked their decorated bikes in the seemingly impossible tangle shown above. Close to a thousand of the county's youths saw two comedy films and a Freedom Train feature and then were "On Their Merry Way." Only scattered bits of colored crepe paper testified to the parking feat.
