KIDS in the rodeo parade Satur

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

over.
Seems to ua that a dollar per
youngster Is pretty generous, In

of course.
RODEO CHAIRMAN Floyd Jones

very sorry when they discovered
that in the confusion of running
things off at the rodeo, the an
nouncer failed to tell the crowd

remorseful that he called several
times asking that we attempt

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.

and the county picnic waa en

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

and Sunday morning's cowboy
breakfast was a scrumptious af
