phone numbers of the Round-Up ac
commodation headquarters. where
rooms are being listed for use during
the show. Thousands of requests for
accommodations are daily coming to
headquarters and Pendleton people
are urged to list rooms Immediately.
Dean Tatom, In charge of accom
modations explains that if rooms are
listed, the person who lists them still
holds the right to rent the rooms.
For example, if a room Is listed and
the owner secures a tenant without the
assistance of the accommodation com
mittee, all that is necessary is for the
owner to notify headquarters that the
room has been rented. This will avoid
confusion
Owners of rooms will receive $2.50
for a room containing a double bed.
Tents and sleeping porches should be
pressed Into service. Mr. Tatom states,
so that the enormous demand for
quarters may be met.
