Written on back: "MORE THAN 50,000 jammed the narrow streets of Chinatown last night to watch the parade honoring 4658, 'The Year of the Mouse.' As always, a highlight of the 12-block parade was the 100-foot long dragon which wriggles along Grant ave. to drive away evil spirits. And along the line of march the old and the young took it all in with the utmost delight. As witness Marilyn Hong, 4, with a choice gutter-side seat. There were scores of floats catching the spirit of 'Gung Hay Phat Choy.'.
