City Council Example of Democracy Editors for years have urged citizens to show Interest In thtdr reactive local government, by attending meetings of citv councils and other local boards. It would seem that this pleading has pretty well gone for nauint because when all is going smoothly, there Is very sparse attendance at council meetings In most torn Onlv when trouble erupts, ns It did in Stanfleld recenu. do many residents really show much Interest Ther . the , council meetings are well attended with grievance-laden citizens.

KIDS in the rodeo parade Satur rtv momlne turned out In such numbers that the Chamber of Commerce men, headed oy Pete McMurtry, ran out or sliver dollars to give them. They had to borrow $75 In greenbacks rrom J. C Penney Co. to tide them over. Seems to ua that a dollar per youngster Is pretty generous, In deed, although the kids love It, of course. RODEO CHAIRMAN Floyd Jones and secretary Max Barclay felt very sorry when they discovered that in the confusion of running things off at the rodeo, the an nouncer failed to tell the crowd nf the hoautiful belt buckle do nated bv Mr. and Mrs. Claude Buschke (Gilliam and Bisbee) to the winner of the girls' barrel racine. Jan Beamer. Max felt so remorseful that he called several times asking that we attempt tn hein him reetifv the oversight. Claude had generously offered to donate a saddle if one were nperted. but found that a prize was needed for the OBRA event and so very willingly put up the hurkle. It is a Drize that is very much appreciated by the winner. WELL, it was a wonderful week end. When the Wranglers Horse show opened on the tail And of a rain storm, it looked rather threatening, but the show brought out a record number oi ontrios ripfsnite the chillv day. and it was a very successful pvpnL Saturday brightened, and Sundav was a perfect day, the hrnwn hills surrounding the ro deo grounds looking picturesque under a cloudless blue sky. The parade went off in good shape, and the county picnic waa en Joyed by all who attended. The EDisconal church reported a fine turnout for Its Saturday night barbecue and only 10 pounds of meat was left over. Saturday night brought a jam packed crowd to the rodeo dance, and Sunday morning's cowboy breakfast was a scrumptious af fair. The food tasted even oeuer by serving In the open air. WHEN SCHOOL opened Tuesday morning, one lady In town couldn't help but feel rather lost and lonely. She ia Mrs. Lena Kelly who taught school for 27 years and was fourth grade teacher here for years until her retirement last year. She dropped In to the Gazette Times office and wistfully ad mined that she missed starting with the youngsters once more. There are probably many bud ding young men and women to whom Mr. Kelly can point with wide and say that she had a hand in developing. m BY THE WAY, one thing we pal. tleularly like about Mrs. Uy la that arte keepe el tht rubacrtp.
