J- S pilyay T ymoo August 16,1985 Page 7 Use of Copenhagen questionable by R . Corky Covington E arly this sum hier J* read a tragic account of five young m en w ho had planned a w eek end of rafting on a W estern M o n tan a river. T he news article summarized each individuals back g round b u t for some reason only o ne of the profiles stands o ut in my m ind. It is th a t o f a young cow boy I ’ll call Freckles. Freckles, like his fo u r com p an ions, w as considered a survival ist by those w ho knew them , each had been an outstanding athlete in high school. M ost, if not all, w ould have survived to tell o f th eir experience given any o th er kind of situation, their friends feel, but as it turned out all five drow ned inside a van. T heir van had gone into, a river w here the raft race they, were to have attended was held the follow ing day. T he details of this, tragedy now ârè less im p o rtan t th a n the profile and im age which F reck les projected. He was described by his '¡young, now -widowed, com m on-law wife as being a rugged o ù tdoorsm an w ho was fam iliar w ith rivers and canoes. He was a good father to their eleven-m onth old daughter who Will alw ays w onder why her dad d y left w ith his friends ând will n o t ever return. H e was also a g o o d p ro v id e r w ho n ever m issed a day o f w ork a t thé m ill and only held back th e'^rice o f a can o f‘‘C ope” from his weekly pay. His wife recalls th at he never liked any o f the other b ran d s w hich he felt were for wimps. Freckles projected the fam il iar young, m uscular, tough and serious but yet fun-loving ste reotype im age o f m any rodeo cowboys. The im age is only, com pleted by adding the ever present faded circle on the back pocket of the W ranglers he wore. T his im age is one w hich has been aro u n d fo r a long while. Chris L eD oux, a professional B areback rid er an d w estern singer from W yom ing has re corded at least tw o songs which depict cowboys and cowgirls as Copenhagen chewers. The words o f orie song goes som ething like: “ C openhagen m akes me feel so good! C openhagen, like I knew it w ould. I p u t a little chew in my m outh, so slurping and a ‘slobbering all aro u n d the house. . .” He finishes by p ro claim ing ‘‘C ope” as a Cure-all for warts, coughs, freckles, runny nose and o ther com m on p ro blems. World-wide freedom varies Sometimes we take for granted the freedom s we as citizens of the U nited States have. Free d om of the pre.ss is one of those freedom s.
