He also studied the old building with view of m ak ing suggesstions for remodeling. E xcavation will begin immed iately for the new building, south west of the present building, so as to keep intact the present a th letic field. Until his plans re tu rn , little can be said about the proposed building, except that it wil lbe designed with view to expansion in the future.

Throngs Visit Azalea Annual Festival, Saturday, Despite Rain; Flower Show One of Most Complete Ever Displayed Coronation Held At High School Gymnasium When Intermitten Rains Came; Barbecue Served To Over 1500 Visitors At Azalea State Park Experiments Are Being Conducted With Lily Blooms Despite the handicap of rain, which fell in term ittently in the m orning, and began in earnest shortly a fte r conclusion of the barbecue at the Azalea S ta te Park, the annual Azalea Festival a ttra c te d alm ost 2000 people last Saturday. Over 1500 were served at the barbecue, while ethers, Results Should Be Known By Middle Of July Visitors Here From Every wh re Howard T Jam es recently re turned from a meeting at San Francisco with officials and chem ists of the Flora Synth L abora tories of New’ York City, filled with optimism over possibilities of the use for lily blossoms in perfume. Jam es held several conferences with Dr. Alexander Katz, one of the leading perfume chem ists of the country, and reports th a t Dr. Katz expressed considerable interest and hel dhigh hopes for the outcome of experim ents which will be conducted as soon as lilies in this area commence to bloom. Complete arrangem ents have been made for exhaustive experi ments. and based on these experi- mnts will depend the ultim ate use to which the grow ers’ lily blooms will be put. If these experim ents prove suc cessful. the Flora Synth Labor atories suggested that they m ight establish a laboratory in this area. Shipment of blooms for ex perim ents have been done, and three separate experim ents will be run. The first will be on lily buds, the second on semi-blooms and the third set on full blooms. Dr. Katz explained, by using the three stages of bloom he will be aided to determ ine any v a ria tion in odor or fragrance. He said th at quite often where the flower was used, there was a variation in quality of odor during the tim e before the bud opens until the flower reaches full- blossom stage. The time for the experim ents will take about ten days or two weeks, and if successful, it is likely th at those growers, whose lily buds or blooms are a t the proper point of development, will have a m arket this year. In discussing methods of shipp ing blooms, should experim ents make it necessary, and before a local laboratory is set up, Jam es said th a t these blossoms would probably be put in large card board boxes, with no p a rticu la r care being taken. It may be th at these will be sold in pound m eas ure ra th e r than by bloom. Results are expected by the middle of July. Rains Of Past Week Welcomed By Growers Rains, w’hich ham pered Azalea Festival activities last Saturday, and whichhave fallen for the past several days, were welcomed bv growers of this area, since the winds earlier this month had dried out the soil to considerable The guest register for the Azalea Festival reads l i k e geography, listing the names of states and towns. From the rock-bound coast of Mas sachusetts to the shore-line of the Pacific appear names, showing quite clearly that there were festival visitors from nearly every state in the union. Of course, registration from Oregon ted in number, with California a n d Washington appearing prominently. Mrs. Jessif B. Tbbe of Warehouse Point, Connecticut and Miss May E. Davidson of Thomp s o n v i 11 e, Connecticut, are most likely the visitors the greatest distance from home. The state of Massachusetts had a fair representation at the Festival, with sir persons registering. New York State was also represented, as was Georgia, New Mexico, Illi nois, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado, just to mention a few. It was quite certain that everyone f r o m out-of-state did not register, because ears with Virginia, T e x a s and Maryland licence plates were parked along the main street during the day. fearing rain and disdaining the "long line” went to restau ran ts.
