6 The Newt-Review, Raitburg, Ore Mon., June 12, 1950 TREAT FOR TUMMIES 'Cowboy Breakfast1 At Fairgrounds Big Success As Just An Experiment By WARREN MACK Many "extras" have been provided at the fairgrounds, augmenting the necessities provided by the rounty fair board. Individual mem ber! of the Sheriff! posse are not financially able to foot the bill themselves, nor i money alwaya forthcoming from county funds. The rodeo itself is usually a money-making affair, but every cent afler expenses goes bacc into improving the fairgrounds and maintaining the buildings. However, someone in the posse Local News ! came up with an idea recently to enrich the posse s colters and en able them to finance the new 4-H club room in the main exhibit building (more of that 4-H room later). So Sunday morning, posse mem bers and their wives held their first practice "Cowboy Break fast." It wasn't really a "dry run," as the army saying goes, be cause the food and hospitality were real enough. But yesterday's breakfast did give the posse auxil iary members some idea how many they could serve and what the project would cost. Held from 8-10 a. m. in the 4-H room, wives of posse members did themeslves proud cooking real man-sized breakfasts. The entree, so to speak, consisted of either ham, bacon or steak. Some hun gry posse members couldn't make up their minds to such a choice and "reluctantly" tried all three. Then, of course, eggs and hash brown spuds were added to each plate and guests were given a choice of hotcakes or fresh bis cuits (or both). Gallons of coffee topped off the meal. Superlatives Voiced The greatest compliment to the ten ladies (and some husbands) who helped prepare the king-size breakfast was the way in which guests piled in, cleaned their plates and asked for more, if they could find room for seconds. Sheriff "Bud" Carter leaned back in his chair, (Jghed and re marked something to the effect that this "was the best darned food I ever ate." Doc Carter's guest, Burns stock breeder Wilbur Haynes, declared, "I sure enjoy ed this; there was really plenty to eat." One unidentified member of the posse was heard to say, "Haven't eaten so good since I got mar ried." Other members of the posse and their families; county fair board officials, invited guests and Talking About a Home? So many people do noth ing but talk about it! But If yoi really want to c n your home, consult me now. Personal .attention. Economical terms. RALPH I RUSSELL Leant and Insurance Loan Repreienatlve Equitable Savings A Loan Ann, a News-Review reporter all agreed the plan was a big success. Kitty Aldred, Active club candidate for queen of the Sutherlin Timber days carnival, momentarily forgot her self-imposed diet, but couldn't quite keep up with her escort, Del McKay. Both decided the major ity was right the breakfast was a success. Credit for the feed went to Mrs. C. T. Tipton and Mrs. George Mil ler, co-chairmen of the event. They were assisted by conks and help ers, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cook, Mrs. Jack Culver, Mrs. Dwayne Jones, Mra. A. C. Sherlock, Mrs. Stewart Stephens and Miss Anita Spencer. Club Room Improved In addition to trying the mass breakfast idea, the event was also in the form of a baptism of the recently-completed 4-H club room. Last yaer, county fair planners decided the 4-H dollar dinners, food displays and baking contests were being held a little too close to other exhibits in the main room. So, posse members took over the idea of scaling off a portion of the exhibit building for 4-H club use. They partitioned off a room 20 feet wide and 40 feet long, scaled it with plywood, some of which was donated, and instance' three sur plus electric stoves. The entire west wall is composed of glass panels, enabling fair goers a per fect view of what goes on inside the room and vice-versa. The room is the posse's gift to the 4-H elub, to be used for future fairs and other events. As a result of Sunday's experi ment, the posse will offer break fast to the general public, as well cowboys and slock handlers, come aunday, June 25, which be gins the second day of the Doug las County Sheriff's Posse rodeo. Breakfast will be served family style from 7-10 a. m. and popular prices will prevail. The posse says no one will complain about the price customers are guaranteed all they can eat. And if yester day's affair was any indication. once around the table will be plen ty lor most folks.
