This name was chosen with one purpose in mind on the part of the committee: The group would like to stage four, or possibly five, events each year, thus giving this area benefit of that much more advertising and attraction. No definite action has as yet been taken, and none will be until the directors and officers are named, but talk is making the rounds to have this group stage a river regatta, and a salmon derby in addition to the two festivals, Azalea and Lily Blossom Time. Founded under the plan of sponsoring all promotional events of the area, this group plans to name committees to stage these events that a year-round program can be made to perfect all plans for each event. That committee which will stage Azalea Festival will naturally have full backing of Azazlea Garden Club, which annually staged the big flower show. A like group will oversee the Lily fes tival, each separate and intependent of the other. By Dewey A contributor, who wishes to write incognito, appears for the first time in this issue. When he approached me to ask for this right, he assured me that he had a “yen” to give out with a little wit—said it would be no worse than mine, so his column makes its bow if such can be done.

I certainly admire the 1949 Pelican team, as I have seen all home games, and I know that there never has been a time when the individuals didn’t give good account of themselves. What I especially like about the Pelican team is that bunch of youngsters coming up. I speak, of course, about the two West brook boys, both in their teens, of Dick Salvage, not yet of age; of Don Ackley, whom I believe is capable of seeing minor league competition. These lads, I believe, are headed upwards. Baseball, and all sports for that matter, give American youth an avenue of self-expression. It also develops that sporting instinct for which Americans are famous. My hat goes off, too, to Pete J.

LESMEISTER from the series to be played with Crescent City Mer chants. the Brookings Pelicans have closed a successful baseball season one which has given the arer much favorable advertising. 1 say this with several things in mind: First, the team as a whole has been feared for its batting power, and second, all teams of the league have been ample in praise about the sportsmanship of the players, here and away on the road. Still say that there can be no advertising quite like that given by an athletic team look about and see what Notre Dame, Army and hundreds of other colleges would do had they no teams.
