Gold Beach people, de spite the fact that they are holding a Fourth of July celebration, will find time to place an entry. That is co-operative spirit. If past experiences may be taken as examples, tourists will be glad to stop here to view this colorful parade. The Pilot can recall the first parade, in 1947, when traffic was backed up to Harris Park to the north and into the Harbor district on the south, and how people got out of their cars, put the kodaks to work, record ing he spectacle. Who can be so blind as to say there is no adver tising value to this delay? Local firms, that year, claimed they actually sold out all the film in town, for refill for those cameras. People would be doing this if they had been provoked by the stoppage. Perhaps the 1947 parade didn’t sell many lilies directly, Maybe the 1948 parade had little more effect, and perhaps the 1949 parade may not directly sell many lilies. However, if one can but add up the accumulation, maybe there can be seen direct benefits. In 1947 there was little sale for lilies. 1948 was considerable be tier - and the Pilot has been informed that 1949 lily crop has been sold - sold several months ago. The Pilot cannot, neither does it attempt to tell people that these past lily parades have created this new demand in lilies, but none will be stupid enough to make an assertion that it didn’t help to some extent. Certainly these parades never hurt the cause. Some lily growers assert that these parades never sold a lily for them, and as far as anyone getting any benefit from holding such spectacles, the business men alone stand to profit. That, in the belief of the Pilot, is speaking without thinking. Last year, the Pilot knows, many businesses entered in the parade and these floats cost quite large sums. Not one of these businesses even started to reap any monetary reward. They merely saw the benefit to be derived from advertising and were willing to spend their proportionate share. These1 businesses are aware of the economic value of the lily crop. If the lily growers sell, the community benefits, not just the lily growers. Selfishness cannot be tolerated if any community wish. to grow and prosper there's no place for individualist now! Campfire Permits Not Necessary In A Few National Forests, Says U. S. F. S.
