Luncheon Dave Hoover, o f Clackamas county, the dynamic dairyman out to unseat Wayne Morse as United States senator, was a visitor in Brookings Wednesday, and at noon, met with a group for luncheon at Vincent's Res taurant. Through h i s scathing adver tisements appearing in many of the Oregon newspapers, Hoover attacks the labor leaders and a number of Oregon politicians, who can “go along” with Morse in defense of his voting in the 1 current session of congress. Hoover points to his record— f being born on a farm in In diana, of his education, his serv- in world war 1, and of his re cent return to the farm.

Azalea State Park, which gives reason for observance of annual Azalea Festivals, is a park with quite a tradition, with quite a history. So good is this history State of Oregon t avel informa tion bureau of the state highway department has used this or a similar picture in scores of ad- tisements placed i n nationally- circulated magazines. Consisting of 25 acres, and lo-1 cated on a “bench” overlooking the Chetco River, in the north- | east section of this area, Azalea State park has a uniqueness that i draws people again and again. Azaleas do not grow' in many places in the United States in , “the wild.” Only in eastern Ten- nessee and in Curry county are azaleas found in any profusion gilMIBM I SEE BERT DeMOSS | ■ AUTOMOTIVE AND ■ ■ INDUSTRIAL PARTS J ^Dimmick Building Brookings, Oregon^ Slllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllll B.

DIAMONPS;; WOT ; JEWELRY - that they may be set aside to be used fo nark nuruoses. In a scrapbook, being kept by , Mrs. W. L. Crissey, one can be| convinced of the popularity of j this park, which the residents of this area almost ignore, almost ridicule, and seldom visit. Azaleas are peculiar in many ways. I tost noticeable of their many pecularities, is the wide range of colors. Some are al most a pure white, and others are almost deep crimson. A visitor at the park, especially early in the morning if little or | no wind is blowing, will note the pungent, bitter-sweet aroma' or fragrance. The nearest de scription one can give of the fragrance is that it smells akin to the pit from a peach seeds The first Azalea Festival was held in 1939, and until 1911, to1 be discontinued during the war, to be resumed in 1946. 1 hese festivals have, each year, be come better known over *he en tire United States. This has been j attested by the number of out-1 of-state cars present at the re cent festivals. Cars from .he far away New England states, from Florida, and scores from the mid-; west, have been seen at these functions As much a part of the festival as a pocket is to trousers, is the barbecue luncheon at noon. The flower display is another portion i that has been magnetic in its appeal. Each year, new ideas are injected into the entertainment feature. Since 1946 a queen and her court have been named to reign over this realm of azaleas so beautiful, and so extra-or- dinary. This y e a r. under All-Year Events Association, there will be more native dress for the occa sion—the Smith River Indians will be present with a display of; basket-weaving, fast becoming a । forgotten art. There will be no competitive flower show, but ini its place will be a huge display . of floriculture to show the va riety and range seen in this area. .There will be pictures, pictures of landscapes as seen through the eyes of artists who are capable of interpreting these into colors on canvas. Two noted artists are showing at the show this year. | Next week a program of the events will be published in these columns, better to acquaint the visitors of the fun and amaze- I ment they will have here.
