It's thrifty to save
ij,t GREEN STAMPS
and lots of fun too!
Saving for the things you want can be lots of fun,
when saving doesn't demand any sacrifice or cut-back3
in your budget.
That's why the S&H Green Stamp saving plan is SO
popular today with 25 million families in this and Other
States.
Saving SAH Green Stamps doesn't require giving up
something else. They're extras that you get when you
shop at stores that give them. Actually, they're discounts
on your purchases the same kind that manufacturers
and merchants receive.
With your filled books of SLl Green Stamps, you
can get at no added cost any of 1,500 items of dis
tinguished merchandise the finest made in America.
You'll find them at your .nearest SiH Green Stamp
fsderoptien Center. Or order them by mail from the
beautiful SiH catalog, if there's no center

meadow with tall green pines
rearing on either side we made
our camp fire and heated up the
beans and made good, black,
campers coffee.
The picnic began to take on
aspects of a family reunion when
Mr and Mrs Ben Anderson, Hep
pner (Hannah Anderson cele
brates her birthday each year
on this trail ride); Mr and Mrs
Ray Wright. Mrs Mary Wright,
Mrs Barton Clark and daughter,
Nonda, Heppner; and Mr and
Mrs Edgar Anderson, wheat
ranchers from Arlington, joined
the happy convention.
These people have all had
"their day" in the cattle busi
ness. In fact, Ray Wright told
me that he had been making
this cattle drive for the past 50
years. Now his health would not
permit it.
We then caught our first
glimpse of the cattle coming In
to the canyon. Three hundred
and fifty white faced Hereford
cows, with bawling calves at
their side, came pouring In from
all sides, filling up the entire
meadow. Man! What a sight!
Nine riders, and Keno, the
Wright's faithful dog, prodded
the herd along at a slow gait.
They drove the cattle Into- a
holding pasture while the eager
calves pumped their mothers for
a short one, and the riders took
turns eating.
mis annual cattle drive is a
family affair. The Wright's
daughter's, Janet, a medical
student at the University of Ore
gon School of Nursing in Port
land; and Patsy and her hus
band, Don Anderson of Arling
ton, came home purposely for
this event. June Proctor, a fellow
student of Janet's, brought over
her own horse from Mosier for
the drive. Barton Clark and son,
Ned, (son-in-law and nephew of
Ray Wright), Lawrence Williams
and Les Robinson rode for Ray
Wright. Because of the rough
riding through trees and bram
bles one sees why they are at
tired in leather chaps and high
boots.
The trail lunch finished, the
cowboys started the cattle on up
the mountain. We packed the
lunch equipment in preparation
for the drive to "Cow Camp" to
prepare supper for the riders.
Before we broke camp, how.
ever, we were in for some excite
ment. A three month old, fright
ened calf broke away from the I
herd and came running back I
headed for home. All of us "foot
loose" people got out in the road,
flapping our arms, trying to head
off the little maverick. But he
had other ideas! He nearly bow
led us over in his mad race.
Two of the cowgirls pounded
after him on their horses, but
they couldn't catch him. Walter
Wright then Joined the group
and laid some strategy. He
thought if we took the Jeep and
