SOUTHERN OREGON NEWS REVIEW GUN THAT WON THE WEST * * < * » * * ♦ * * ♦ * Buffalo Bill's Famous Old Rifle To Join Mementos of Scout's Life IHOUitHOlD Buffalo Bill’s historic old Winchester is going home. The famous old repeater used b.v William Frederick Cody, and symbol of the spectacular fighting days of the early west, will join other historic mementos of the legendary scout, hunter, Indian fighter, and showman in the Cody Memorial Museum at Cody. Wyoming, on July 4. The rifle is from the private collection of Colonel Walter F. Siegm und, official of the Winches- te r R epeating A rm s com pany divi alon of Olin Industries, Inc., and will be presented during the F ro n tiers Day celebration, according to M ary J e s te r Allen, niece of Colonel Cody and founder of the m useum . Buffalo Bill’s rifle w hich he m ade fam ous as “the gun th a t won the w est” is a Model 73 lever action re peater. Cody described it as "th e boss” for hunting and Indian fight ing and said an Indian would give m ore for it th an any other rifle. One of the first repeatin g rifles, it had a 15-shot m agazine, and it w as said th a t it could be loaded on Sunday and fired all week. Once in the Black Hills Cody saved his life with one of these rifles by firing 11 shots into a wounded b e a r th a t charged him from only 30 feet. Called Long-Haired Chief F requently d escribed as the “ Buffalo Bill rifle," the Model 73 established the world-wide re p u ta tion of its m a n u factu rer. A total of 720,610 rifles of this m odel w ere m ade until 1924 when it w as discon tinued. Buffalo B ill's fam ous rifle is still in excellent w orking o rd er and it ocntains two new “ fe a tu re s” w hich Buffalo Bill knows nothing about. These a re the au tographs of two heroes of World W ar II, F leet Ad m iral C hester N im itz and G eneral Jo n a th an M. W ainw right, hero of B ataan and C orregidor, who found inspiration in Cody’s colorful c a re e r. The fam ous scout, who w as both a live hero and a legend during 48 of the 71 y e a rs of his exciting life, was born F e b ru a ry 26, 1846, in Scott County, Iowa, n e a r the town of Le C laire and died Ja n u a ry 10, 1917, in D enver, n e a r which he now re sts on a prom ontory of Look out . m ountain.

The gun w as autographed by G eneral Jon ath an W ainw right and F lee t A dm iral C hester W. N im itz, heroes of World W ar II. Inspiration For Novels It was in 1869, when Cody was only 23, th a t E d w ard Zane C arroll Judson, b etter known as Ned B unt line, gave him the n am e of “ B uffa lo B ill" in the first of th e 900 dim e novel stories th a t describ ed Cody's exploits. With Ju d so n 's d eath in 1386, Colonel P re n tic e In g rah am , one of C ody's cronies who also had an in tim ate knowledge of his life, continued the dim e novel saga th a t kept generations of youngsters pul satin g to wild w est ad v en tu res which have been p erp etu ated in w estern m ovies, radio and telev i sion p ro g ram s, and com ic books. N ew est publication to p erp etu ate the m em ory of Colonel Cody is the new “ Buffalo Bill” com ic book j j s t released which tells tru e stories in the fam ous sco u t's life. Cody enjoyed the unique distinc- tion of having an en tire lite ra tu re ' built around his life while he w as still alive, and it w as difficult to determ in e w hether his experiences p o rtray ed in the dim e novels w ere m ore d ra m a tic or incredible th an those he lived. Cody spent y ea rs trav elin g the United States with his wild w est show featu rin g Indians and cow boys. Also a fe a tu re attractio n of his hsow was Annie Oakley, fa m ous crack shot. Buffalo Bill’s show also toured E ngland and the continent. Spotlight of America's Music World Turned on Two Children A hot race for the title of “America’s greatest child prodigy” is being waged between two moppets hardly old enough to escape the afternoon nap.

Prodigies Retain Childlike Qualities Both of America's outstanding prodigies happily retain the childlike qualities of imagination and mischief, and lead normal lives unruffled by enormous popularity and frequent radio and concert appearances. Beverly is professionally calm before an audience, but is typ ically shy when "company“ coaxes her to play. Jerard, with a small boy's eye on the future, told Lion Club members who fascinated him during a special concert, he, too, wanted to be a lion tamer when he grew up.

V egetables w hich have been picked for longer th an eight hours before canning do not give as ten d er or high q uality canned products. ‘ Can only young beets and carro ts. , Store the older ones in a cellar or T pit C ertainly the work is m ad e easier if the kitchen is all set for action. • This m eans th a t you have your ja rs freshly w ashed and scoured, sitting in tubs or la rg e k ettles read y to sterilize. You can put them on to boil when you go out to pick the vegetables. H ave a work table rea d y with colanders, knives and spoons w here : you can w ork on the vegetables ! a fte r th e y 're w ashed. The p ressu re cooker should have been checked for use to see th a t th e gauge is ac cu rate. It should be clean and fitted w ith a rack , read y to receive the ja rs afte r th ey ’re packed. H ave a larg e kettle rea d y on the w ork table or ran g e so th a t vege tab les can be pre-cooked. Some w om en still use cold pack, th a t is pack the ja rs w ithout any cooking of the vegetable. However, m ost w om en say they have m o re luck w ith precooking since th is shrinks th e vegetable before packing and also sets the color b etter. Choosing V egetables T’S EASY to d eterm in e w hether a vegetable is rig h t for canning ju st by careful inspection. H ere are tips to guide you. A sparagus stalks should be green for the g re a te r p a rt of th eir length, inasm uch as the w hite p a rts are woody. Choose firm stalks. L im a beans or snap (green) beans should be young and tender. Both types should look green and fresh. G reen beans should snap read ily when bent. K e r n e l s on corn should be plum p and full of m i l k . The husk should be fresh and green. In g ree n s, choose t h o s e with t e n d e r , young and unbruised leaves. N ever use wilted leaves. P ea pods should be brig h t and full. Avoid the puffy pods with sm all peas. P eas, when shelled should be tender. LYNN SAYS: T re at P re ssu re Cooker Like Fine M achine One of the best things about the p r o sure cooker is the accu racy with which it processes foods. T re at it carefully so th a t the accu racy can be m aintained. G uard the cooker a g a in st blows, as these m ay dent it or b reak it. If the p ressu re guage is ja rre d or dam aged, it will lose its accu racy . Keep the sealing su rface clean and dry as this enables you to close the cooker properly.
