Death Summoned Visitor To Area, Early Saturday “I must call attention to the w ork done by Oregon’s Federated Garden Clubs, and your own be loved Azalea Garden Club, who aided not only financially, but spiritually in having this plot of ground set aside as a state park. These foresighted women know’ and love beauty. They want no part of it spoiled. “This park will attract many people to this area, who will stop and visit awhile. Its presence will make your community that much more desirable to visiting, will make this area nationally known and a place to visit.” W. L. Crissey, honorary vice- president of “Save the Myrtle- woods, Ine.’’ was master of cere- wionies, calling upon Mrs. Wil-' helm, immediate past president of Oregon Federated Garden Clubs, Mrs. Erma Rice, immediate past P* president of Azalea Garden Club, and other visitors for remarks, picnic lunch was enjoyed on sandy banks of the Chetco below Bruce Hole at 1 p. m 1 Yearbook Winner Of "First Prize" Members of the Azalea Garden Club are patting each other on the back these days, for their yearbook was adjudged best in Oregon. Mrs. Erma Rice, retir ing president, received a letter late last week apprising her ot the fact. Especially gratifying was the statement: “Your book was out- standing.’’ Twice previously the club had won second on its book, but until this past year was not able to claim the coveted prize. A check was received by the club as a token. Mrs. Erma Rice, retiring presi dent, has been appointed to head the committee to publish the 1949 and 1950 book. Mr. and Mi's. W. H. Cochran Jr. of Eureka, were visitors here i I over the Fourth. I I Differences Do Spur Rivals To "Really Try" In Grandpa's day, difference of opinion gave rise to good horse racing—that was the best way in those day to ex cel, it seems. Grandsons, in 19!f9, especi ally in this area had other, and possibly better ways. After a few friendly ex change of puns, two certain rivals of this area, Friday, suddenly stopped their ver bal bombast, and went into seclusion—with each went a score, perhaps, of backers, who had ideas about floats When visitors here Monday saw two gorgeous (that's a good word for it) floats go ing along in the parade, but a few saw the differences of opinion and its result. Elmer Bankus and his old Mississippi river boat, its bale of cotton, and such, depicted one side of that opinion. He could have not found a better theme for the Brookings Wa ter Company, none were left in the encyclopedia. Proponents of the “other” side of the opinion, saw in Brimm Bros. Lumber Co.'s float that would be hard for any professional to re-produce except in this area of Hies. Best of all, differences of opinion in this case made a good show for the visitors— not quite like what a horse race would create.
