If the size of the crowd at
the coronation of Queen Shan
non Mahoney and her Morrow
County Fair and Rodeo prin
cesses Is any indication, the fair
and rodeo this year are going
to be ono of the most success
ful in history.
With a "new look," the coro
nation was an outstanding suc
cess as n crowd pleaser, featur
ing a noise parade, old-fashioned
games for kids, a tug-of-war
between the Jaycees and the
senior Chamber of Commerce,
Stars of Tomorrow amateur tnl
ont from Ilermiston, and the
regal appearance and coronat
ion of the court.
A big crowd assembled down
twon to watch. the short but
noisy parade, and then all hop
ped Into their cars for the rodeo
grounds.
Tho mitna uunro lined bllltlDCr
to bumper from town to the ro
deo grounds for some time un
til all could get settled.
Heppner High school sopho
mores, who had rigged up a
Rube Goldberg contraption that
automatically made raucous
noise, won the $10 prize for
making the most clamor In the
parade, and freshmen, who used
everything from power lawn
mowers to tractors in their ef
fort, won $5 for the most novel
watro rf malf tiff Tinl?!
Marsha Sowell received the
award from Master of Cere
monies Garnet Barratt on behalf
of the sophomores, and Bol
Dobbs represented the freshmen.
The oueen and her court were
mounted on horseback In the
parade and made their entry in
to the rodeo grounds on the
horses that they will ride in the
events of next week.
Jim Gordon took off his state
police uniform to handle games
for the event, and participants

won $2 tirst prize in me sacK
men nnilil I fa 1 1 nnd Kit Ander

pioco di resistance of the en
tertainment fare was the tug-of-
war between the Chamber or
fVmmnr(V and Jnvcees. This
event had been the occasion for
considerable banter and challen
ges prior to the contest. The Jay
cees, who had stated that their
14 members could outpull the
00 members of the Chamber of
Commerce, had their spirits
dampened when 18 C of C men
(and friends) hauled the young

water from a fire hose. The Jay

Bull Elk Snared
In Swing at Cabin,
Dies Tragic Death
When members of the Ernie
Winchester family visited their
cabin in the mountains south
east of Heppner last Tuesday,
they discovered a tragedy.
A four point bull elk had
caught his horns in rope of
a swing that had been attach
ed to a tree near the cabin and
had failed in his efforts to
free himself, eventully result
ing in what the Winchesters
believe was a lingering and
terrible death.
Apparently as the elk at
tempted to extricate himself
he only became the more hope
lessly entangled because a
secure knot had been tied
around his horns by his man
ipulations. The ground around
the spot was torn and ripped
where he had fought and work
ed for freedom.
The Winchesters believe that
the animal had died the day
before they discovered him but
surmise that he had been en
tangled on the spot for about
two weeks.
They reported the incident
to game authorities who took
care of the dead elk.

Doc Severinsen
And Yvonne Nyman
Married in East
Yvonne Nyman, daughter of
Mrs. Ora Evans of Heppner,
and Carl (Doc) Severinsen of
New York City were married
Saturday, August 8, in Fair
field, Conn., according to Mrs.
Carl Spaulding, friend of both
the bride and groom.
Severinsen is assistant di
rector of the NBC orchestra,
under Director Skitch Hender
son, which appears on the "To
night" show. He was a visitor
in Heppner earlier this year
and made a hit with his ap
pearance at the Pendleton
Round-Up festivities last year.
The wedding was performed
at the home of friends of Sev
erinsen, and the couple is liv
ing in a home that they pur
chased in Belleville. N. Y.,
former residence of a retired
army colonel.
It is about a 50-minute drive
from the home to the NBC
studios.
Mr. and Mrs. Severinsen,
both of whom were previous
ly married, went together dur
ing the time they attended
high school, and their wedding,
therefore, is a belated culm
ination of a youthful romance.
Severinsen spent part of his
boyhood in Arlington.
Mrs. Severinsen expects to be
in Heppner this week-end. Her
two daughters, Robin and Judy
Nyman. have been staving
with their grandmother, Mrs.
Evans, and Mrs. Severinsen
will take them back to New
York with her.
