Days Off
Week-End Jauata
••To be entirely «: leiinre for one

—Chinese proverb.
By Edith Durgan
Intriguing and practical is the
entertainment suggested in a let­
ter received this week from Lou
Hancock of the office of the quar­
termaster at Camp Adair. Text
of the letter follows:
“In your column, Days Off, why
don’t you let the boys know about
the facilities for that recreation of
all recreations—horseback riding?
"Corvalils has an academy locat­
ed at 26th and A -streets which has
a number of fine horses. Many eve­
nings during the week are devoted
to “dinner” rides. A group of riders
leaves the stable at 7:00 or 7:30
p. m. and ■ follow trails into the
foothills, tie up the horses, build
a nice campfire, and roast wieners
and marshmallows. Coffee is made
cowboy style—and is it good! Song
fests, stories of the West, and an
all-around good time are enjoyed
by all. Along towards midnight
the fire is blacked out and the
party rides leisurely back to civili.
zation.
"The price of a dinner ride is
only $2.25 per person. All food and
refreshments áre furnished. The
rides cover anywhere from eight
to sixteen miles, or as far as the
group wants to ride, and last usual,
ly five hours, so the cost averages
less than fifty cents per hour.
“For straight day or evening
rides, the charge is $1 per hour. If
desired, an escort will ride with
you to show the various trails and
by-paths which go for enjoyable
riding.
“On Sunday, August 16, a break­
fast ride is planned, after which
there will be a “paper chase,”
which is a hilarious rough-and-
ready ride over hill and dale, fol­
lowing a bewildering trail of paper.
Prizes of cash and riding tickets
await the winners of these chases.”
This academy is a little more
than a mile from the city center,
and can be easily reached by trav­
eling west on Jefferson street to
26th street on the college campus,
then turning left for one block.
It is “catty-corner” from the sta­
dium. Reservations may also be
made by telephone.
Since the time the Oregon State
college R.O.T.C. was a cavalry
unit, the Corvallis Riding Academy
has flourished, although interest
lagged somewhat after the corps
was mechanized and the combined
military and horse shows were dis­
continued at the college. With the
increase in population in Corvallis
and a reduction in automobile trav­
eling, horseback riding is becoming
more popular.
Floyd Hutchins, manager of the
academy, now has from 20 to 30
head of horses, including a few
spirited colts which are available
only to experienced horsemen. Or
if you have never ridefen, he has
some steady and serene models
just your type, and will teach you
to ride either private or in a class.
So if you love horses and want
something different in the way of
activity, you can have a lot of
fun by following this suggestion.
By the way, fan mail is wonder­
ful. Two letters this week, so we’re
beginning to feel like Dorothy Dix.
