By Dewey Saturday opens the 1950 Azalea Festival, with good weather promised for the event, which should be inducement enough for everyone to lay aside cares and enjoy the event, one of the first floral events of the year along the Oregon coast. Azalea State Park, scene of the coronation, barbecue and other portions of the program, has been wide-spread publicity by the advertising of the travel bureau of the state highway department. Azalea State Park cannot, through pictures, be depicted in its full beauty. The width of picture from any lenz cannot catch but a portion of the beauty which is there to see. The azaleas are almost at their zenith, possibly a little below, but in enough profusion to give any critical visitor an idea of the beauty. To give this event advertising, and to set a date coincident with the zenith is a task that no one» has ever been abk* to do us yet. Judging early development, a date is set, and sometimes it has been before the zenith, sometimes just aftrward. At any rate, zenith or not, Azalea State Park is well worth visit ing, especially at the time of the festival. Come once and you are likely to come again and again. Other have. The more and more that I read Mrs. Crissey’s scrapbook of clippings about this area, about the formation of Azalea Park, and other pertinent information of the history of the area, the more reluctant I become in sur rendering it soon. Mrs. Crissey has a volume of valuable infor mation there. I am fully aware that she realizes its full worth. The thing that strikes me thi most is the national publicity that has been given this area— at not one cent of cost to the area. It makes me realize how important these Azalea Festivals really are to the advertising plan of the state highway de partment, for in this volume of Mrs. Crissey’s appear ads from Saturday Evening Post, Sunset, Holiday, and other publications. Speculation is making the rounds about how much vote will These ads were in color, the most turn out Friday at the primary election. To this moment, the expensive of all forms of adver Pilot has had estimates of from 15% to 55%—none higher. tising-all for free. Frankly, to the Pilot, that estimate seem low, but observers We in this community should pointed out that the 1948 presidential election did little or no be ashamed of ourselves if we better, so how could a primary, with only a couple of contests do not at least match, through be expected to eclipse the 1948 record. effort, all the money spent to This state of affairs over Oregon, as well as the nation does further the travel along the Or not indicate that people realize their rights and privileges It egon coast.

Just How Many Will Cast A Ballot? Heroism Always Deserves Award ! The Pilot has been told of Archie McVay's part in the rescue I of Henry (’.rimes from death in the ocean last Friday, and that this was not the first saving that Arrhie has affected in his life. Not being able to contact Archie, the Pilot has had no chance to learn of the others, and probably Archie would be reluctant , to tell anything about himself. However, the Pilot wishes to rec-' ognize his effort, and that of Lawrence Payne in this rescuse. Life-saving is something that deserves all the publicity pos- I sible. These two men risked their lives in the rescue, and the, act. in the feeling of the Pilot, should not go unrewarded.

This\ community could be another big \ beach resort area, like scores in ! California, which do not or did not have the natural beauty to begin with. Take an inventory of the assets ue have here—no small job, and the more you go into it, the bigger you will find the job. I read with increasing interest all the editorials which this area has received from writers who gained their impressions only by passing through the area. These have been flowing in a rhetori cal sort of way. They were writ ten by men who actually felt these thoughts—yet, we, residents of the area are indifferent. I am not trying to point any finger at people. I may have been just as much if not more guilty of this failure. Travelers through here remark, “My, you wouldn't know this place; why the last time I was here............ ” We arc too close to sec these things. We cannot get that so-called “art ist’s point-of-view" to stand out and away and look at what we have accomplished. * * * People .inexperienced in the handling of any water craft, are again cautioned by the death of Harry Bobb and near tragedy of Henry Grimes, Friday, as they attempted to enter the mouth of the Chetco in a log “dugout.'’ The Pacific respects nothing and nobody. Its swells and waves are tricky and disastrous to those who know its way, to say noth ing of those inexperienced. Observers who talked to me < after the accident, emphatically stated that if the two had at tempted to beach their craft, a different story would be told at this time. I have noted, numer ous times that those who fish the ocean in rowboats, or those propelled by outboards, always land from the beach.
