COLORFUL PARADE ENTERTAINS
LARGE RODEO CROWD ON SATURDAY
As grand sweepstakes taker, and
winner of first place among organi
zation floats Morrow County Wool
Growers auxiliary entry was high
prize winner in the Saturday morn
ing Rodeo parade that thrilled the
throng packing Main street with its
long procession of animals, people
and vehicles.
Proudly in the fore, as flag bearer
rode Dee Cox, octogenarian county
pioneer. Came the Heppner school
band, with Drum Majoress Jeanette
Blakely keeping the fifty bandsters
in lively step to the expert maneu
vering of her baton, her white drum
majoress costume and the gleaming
purple, gold and white uniforms of
the players flashing in the warm
morning sun.
Queen Maxine (McCurdy) rode
next in white buckskin cowgirl at
tire and astride a white mount, her
diers and sailors guarding fruits of
the harvest.
Mrs. Lulu Rea, Mrs. Add Moore
and Mrs. Luke Bibby were among
ladies riding side saddle in costume
of the nineties. Adult and juvenile
cowgirls and cowboys rode in color
ful regalia, with former Rodeo
queen Inez Gentry adjudged best
costumed cowgirl for adults, and
Chance Wilson receiving like honor
for adult cowboys.
Three one-horse buggies of olden
vintage carried passengers dressed
in fashion of the same age, and of
these that driven by Bill Isom was
counted the most realistic. "Paul
Bunyan" was seen riding his log, a
comical entry by Bill Greener for
Reed's mill. A truck carried Vivian
Lewis and her all-lady dance band
whose snappy tunes helped to keep
things lively, then the city's fire
truck came with the firemen who
added more fun by squirting water
Myles of this city, from Portland
representing the department of in
ternal revenue; Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Pigg, Pendleton, who rode attractive
ponies in the parade, and Mr. Pigg
also being a representative of the
department of internal revenue.
July was the fourth consecutive
month during which Oregon traffic
accidents fell far below the 1937
level, Secretary of State Earl Snell
reports. Accidents numbered 2644,
compared with 3418 for July, 1937.
Injuries totaled only 610 against 747
last year, and fatalities were 36
against 41.
A three-year-old boy who was
recently killed in Bend was the third
child pedestrian to meet death in
Oregon within the past few weeks,
Secretary of State Earl Snell said
recently. He advised motorists to
slow down when driving past spots
where children are playing, even
though there seems to be no imme
diate danger of an accident
Wheeler county has gone longer
without a traffic death than any
other Oregon county at present,
Secretary of State Earl Snell reports.
The last fatality in that 'county oc-'
curred two and a half years ago, on
February 18, 1936. Jefferson county
is runner-up, not having had a death
since November 5, 1936.

rector, were followed by Mayor
"Buck" Lieuallen of Pendleton, and
Mary Jane Hawkins, attendant to
the Round-Up queen.
The cavalcade of mounted Rodeo
performers, some leading horses
seen in the bucking contest, was
interspersed with floats and other
entries.
Near the head was the wool grow
ers auxiliary entry, colorful stream
ers covering cab to the rear of
which was an evergreen canopy
partly covering the green bed. A
flowing spring of water was seen in
the background of a neat little sheep
camp attended by a little boy with
two lambs as her flock. Colorful
flowers in the green, which though
realistic, were made from wool.
FFA float, second place winner,
was tractor drawn with wool and
grain used in attractive decoration.
Rhea Creek grange, third place win
ner, used patriotic motif with sol-
Pendleton Round-Up contributed
a colorful entry with a truck load
of Indians in full festival regalia, and
small Rudy Saluskin who did the
hoop dance as the truck proceeded
up the street.
Business floats added to the color.
but probably the entries bringing the
most comment were the children
with their pets. Two miniature cov
ered wagons, one drawn by Clayton
Ayers goat team, the other by Eu
gene Empey's white calves from the
Zinter farm; Clarence Bauman's
buck deer led by a boy; Frank Tur
ner dressed as a small boy and lead
ing his race horse colt; a little wagon
drawn by kittens; a number of at
tractively groomed dogs, 4-H sheep
and calves, a string of three goats
which Colleen Kilkenny had diffi
culty in keeping moving, and the
2-year-old Hereford bull calf, cow
and other animals from the pure
breds of Roy Robinson, all added to
the attractive showing.
The parade, liberally spaced, took
an hour to pass on its progress up
the street.
Side Glances at the Rodeo Herd
The throng of Rodeo visitors was
so large that it wasn't possible to
round up the complete herd. A
very noticeable addition to the crowd,
however, was the number of former
Heppner people who came in from
homes now made elsewhere.
There was "Buck" Lieualen and
the missus, with Buck officially rep
resenting the Round-Up city in the
parade as Pendleton's mayor, "Billy"
O'Rourke was busy propagandizing
the big American Legion convention
being held in the same place this
week end. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Stone
came from Pendleton, and Bert's fa
miliar voice was heard adding witti
cisms for the entertainment of a
large section of the grandstand.
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Blahm came
over from Walla Walla and found
a convenient parking place on Main
street from where they greeted
many friends. Guy Boyer and John
ny Farley brought greetings from
John Day town with invitation to
attend the Grant County fair, while
Harlan Devin and Les Rasmussen
with families, dittoed from Condon
and the Gilliam County fair.
Art Bibby and family, brother
Joe, with the Bibby boys' mother
were present from Grass Valley.
Joe Swendig, Redmond; Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Tetz and children, Ad
ams; Mr. and Mrs. John Turner,
Baker; Reid Buseick and family,
Long Creek; Mrs. Bob Fletcher, Jr.,
nee Ruth uHddleston, and family,
Ukiah; Mrs. Adolph Hayden, nee
Leora Devin, and family, Stanfield;
Harold Erwin, Dayton, pick-up man
at the arena; Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Parsons, Elgin; George Currin, Gre-
sham, Morrow county pioneer of 74,
were among this group of home-
comers.
Mr. Currin watched Saturday's
parade with Milton Morgan of lone,
another pioneer who was eight years
behind him in arriving here, coming
in '82 across from Pendleton. Octo
genarians each, these men saw much
water pass over the county's wheel
of progress. Mr. Currin recalled first
settling on Hinton creek just above
the present Dee Cox place and just
as Mr. Cox's name was mentioned,
this worthy came into view as flag-
bearer in the parade, another octo
genarian still young in spirit. "There
wasn't much to Heppner then," Mr.
Currin drolled.
Another large section of the crowd
were "good neighbor" friends from
adjoining counties. Condon s city
band arrived about noon Sunday,
marched down Main street followed
by six cars placarded with Gilliam
County fair advertisements, and the
band made a much appreciated add
ed attraction at the afternoon show,
giving generously of their wares. A
number of Arlington people also
came, of whom Dave Lemon, garage
partner of Earl Snell, secretary of
state, was one.
Official connection with the show
drew John Carter and Mrs. Carter,
and Tom Williams from Long Creek,
Sammy Kierans and Mrs. Kierans
