Cattlemen Slate
Annual Conclave
A half a century of leadership
will bv the theme for the 50th
Annual Convention of the Ore
gon Cattlemen's Association ac
cording to Walt Schrock, Presi
dent. The annual meeting, to be held
in Baker, November 6-7-8 this
year, will commemorate the
founding of the Association in
tliat city in 1913.
rians are shaping up very well
to make tills program the best
ever. Tribute and recognition will
be Riven to those early day cattle
producers who had the foresight
to organize such an association
and to those who have through
out the 50 years given so un
selfishly of their time and tal
ents to make the Oregon Cattle
men's Association a success and
a leader among the cattle assoc
iations of this nation.
President Schrock stated that
plans have been completed by
the committees of the host coun
ty of Baker for housing, regis
tration, buckaroo breakfast, ban
quet, as well as entertainment
each night for everyone's
pleasure. The business program
outlined by the officers of the
Association is nearly complete
also. It will be a real working
session according to Schrock,
with more time devoted to com
mittee meetings and association
business and less time to speak
ers. Fire Report Errs
A recent report on a fire at
the Phil Mahoney place stated
in this paper that Bob Mahoney
and Harold Evans were doing
some burning when the fire
spread out of control. However,
Mr. and Mrs. Evans report that
they were on vacation when the
fire occurred and had nothing
to do with it. They asked that
a correction be printed in the
paper.

TRAVEL
BUG?
places to go...
things to do
by lob Kyle
Travel Bug column is spon
sored by the Oregon Welcome
Committee. Purpose of the col
umn is to provide readers with
a weekly calendar of events
and feature highlights of
"places to go and things to
do" in Oregon. Contributions
may be sent to "Travel Bug,"
522 Pittock Block, Portland,
Oregon.
Suggestion for a late summer
week-end trip would have to in
clude one of Oregon's famous
mountain passes. Across the Cas
cades, for example, via Mt. Hood
Loop in Highway 26, or the North
Santiam on Highway 22; the Mc
Kenzie Pass on Highway 126, or
perhaps Highway 58 over the
Willamette Pass.
Scenic interest along these
mountain routes Includes pan
oramic views of towering Cas
cade peaks, sparkling mountain
lakes and streams, mighty
stands of timber affording cool
ness to woodland recreation
areas and. of course, the smash
ing beauty of flaming leaves as
foliage turns to hues of yellow,
red, lavender and gold to wel
come the fall season.
For something to do, the Cas
cade passes offer some of the
finest camping, picnic and rec
reation facilities in the world-
provided by state and federal
parks.
Three big events, any one of
which might be fun to attend
during the week are the Pendle
ton Round-Up and Happy Can
yon Pageant opening Wednes
day, September 11 and roaring
through Saturday; Sherman
County Fair and Rodeo at Moro,
and the annual "Indian Style"
salmon bake at Depoe Bay on
Saturday, September 14.
Who said there's nothing to
do this weekend? Roads
throughout the state are in ex
cellent shape, weather seems to
be moderating, and school starts
soon, so you'd better get out
and enjoy yourself while you
have a chance.
HARD TO BELIEVE, but did
you know Oregon's out-of-state
tourist business brings a total
of around $217 million into the
state each year? We had close
to 12 million visitors in 1962.
And that's not all-right here
in the state, we spent $184 (in
fact, almost $185) million during
the same period.
Our tourist business is the
state's third-largest industry,
and running hard for second
place.
The Oregon Welcome Commit
tee is a volunteer committee as
sisting the Travel Information
Division of the Oregon State
Highway Department in tourist
promotion activities. Oregon Wel
come chairmen have been ap
pointed throughout the state by
Governor Hatfield, and this
year's program, according to
Dick Turner, chairman of the
committee, has been highly
successful.
Everyone can help in this pro
gram. Just greet our visitors with
a big smile and warm hand
shake. Be friendly and helpful
make them feel at home.

CORNETT GREEN, a crowd favorite in the Morrow county calf
roping at the ,1963 Morrow Count? Rodeo, had to be content with
third place, and he receives the award from Queen Sandra
Eubanks. The certificate in his left hand is good for a Stetson
hat from Wilson's Men's Wear, Heppner. Cornett who broke his
neck in a fall a few months ago, wore a brace in the calf roping
event, but this didn't prevent him from roping and tying his
can m Jig time in eacn ot two go-arounas. (G-T Photo)
