The Sunset Trail pageant, to be
staged on Hayward field July 25, 26
and 27, will be the most elaborate
outdoor performance ever seen In
Oregon, it is declared by those who
have seen early rehearsals of the
huge show. A cast of 1500 is now

tall mountains in the background.
It rears over 35 feet into the air,
and will give the appearance of a
whole mountainside covered with
majestic fir trees. In one of the
most Impressive scenes two large

without a break. Seating capacity
of 10,000 each night has been ar
ranged for, and indications are that
almost capacity crowds will be pre
sent each evening. The event Is to
be fully covered by the press of the
state, as a special "press box" to
hold 80 newswriters each evening,
has been constructed In the center
of the huge stand.
Outstanding dramatic and musi
cal talent of the state has been
drawn on for the pageant. Mrs.
Doris Smith, of Portland Hosarla
fame, will direct the performance;

sic at the University of Oregon, will

SAFETY WIN
Actress-Policewoman Will
Head Instruction Work
Among Autoists.
A safety drive will be staged In
Heppner on Saturday In connection
with the police department Girls
from the movie colony of Holly
wood, dressed in police uniform,
will work with the police.
Evelyn Hunt, "Miss Personality"
of Hollywood, will have charge of
the safety campaign, Instructing
motorists on safety driving. Miss
Hunt is the holder of 34 personality
cups and other trophies. She is
also the winner of the Cecil B. De
Mille Personality Cup, carrying the
"Miss Personality of Hollywood" ti
tle. Local movie fans will remem
ber her as playing with Dolores Del
Rio in "Ramona;" with Jackie Coo
gan In "Buttons;" with Mary Pick-
ford in "My Best Girl;" and with
Ramon Navarro in "His Night"
In speaking of the safety cam
paigns, Miss Hunt said, "No, I am
not in the movies now. I am In the
'Talkies.' I talk every week to those
that are helping in the safety first
drives, and lots of times talk with
drivers that are careless about their
driving and give them a copy of the
state headlight and signal laws.
This helps to prevent the large num
ber of accidents that occur from
failing to make proper signals when
turning or stopping. In one town
where I worked with the captain
of the motor police, we stopped 585
cars after they came around the
corner. Of that number 275 failed
to make a proper signal and 73
had their windows up and could not
signal at all.
"I find most everyone ready to
cooperate In our safety-first work.
Every one should help the police
departments when you stop to con
sider how few traffic officers you
have and how many automobile
drivers. You know It Is not only
the motorist but also the pedestrian
that causes accidents, by not obey
ing the traffic laws. When on the
highways they would, If they walk
on the left side, then the number
of highway accidents would be de
creased.
Statistics show that one-fourth of
the casualties of the United States
are cauBed from automobile acci
dents. They also point to the fact
that 74 per cent of the automobile
accidents happen at intersections
and dangerous highway curves
from wrong signals.

one of the largest crowds ever com
ing to the rodeo, Mr. McNamer be
lieves. The exhibition given by the local
rodeo buckers at Ukiah the Fourth
is evidence enough to all who at
tended that all are In prime condi
tion to put on their part of the
show, Mr. McNamer declares. Tea
pot Dome, Colored Boy and Black
Diamond, who bucked in the finals
were all plenty tough for their
riders, and but one cowboy was able
to retain his seat and that only with
the assistance of the saddle horn.
The entire srting Is intact twenty-
odd in number, to challenge the rid
ing ability of all comers.
Prize money, totalling more than
$1500, is offered again this year In
the numerous events including the
Morrow County Derby, three-quar
ter mile race on Saturday, for which
$200 in prizes alone is given. Calf
roping, bulldogging, relay and pony
express races, bareback riding, with
the bucking contest running thru
the three days, are other events
that make the Heppner Rodeo one
of the most attractive small shows
of its kind in the country.
Assurance was received by Mr.
McNamer this morning from Irri
gon that the Irrigon school band
will be on hand for the last two
days. This band, composed entirely
of school children all of whom are
members of 4H clubs, is one of the
very best school bands in the state
as evidenced by their taking second
place In a statewide contest at Port
land this spring.
