Daly Tells of NRA Tie With Rodeo at Chamber Charley Daly, vice chairman of the Morrow county Rodeo Committee, told of reasons that the local rodeo has maintained its affiliation with the Northwest Rodeo Association when he ap peared at the Chamber of Com merce meeting Monday. Some of those interested in the rodeo have advocated goirg to the Rodeo Cowboys Associa tion, Daly said. He likened the difference as similar to the mi nor and major leagues of basa-ball. For the NRA. the rodeo is a week-end pastime, he said. In Oregon and Washington there were 33 NRA shows last year and 28 RCA shows. The Morrow county rodeo pays more money than many of the KCA shows, he said. However, a rodeo can not draw "big names." such as Larry Mahan or Dean Oliver of the RCA for $1000 purses, he added. In suDDort of the ability of the NRA members, Daly declar ed, "The tail end of the RCA couldn't pack the ropes of the best of the NRA." The last time the Morrow county held an RCA show, years ago, there were only 64 register ed contestants. In 1967, the NRA show here had 210 contestants. The number of entrants rep resents a considerable economic impact on the community alone, Daly said. Appearance of the vice chair man at the Chamber meeting was partly to develop some ad vance interest in the rodeo, which is about three months away, being scheduled for Aug ust 24 and 25. College, is installment loan of ficer. He joined First National in 1962 at Bend and moved to the Heppner branch in June of 1967. Bill Struthers. branch opera tions officer, first joined the staff in 1964, spent two years in service, and returned in June, 1967. Long time Heppner resident Jeanne Lovgren is note teller. She joined First National at the Heppner branch in 1950 and has been employed at the Heppner office during her entire banking career. Tellers are Terryl Green up, Glenis Snyder and Deanna Boschee, while bookkeepers in clude Frances Privett, Theresa Munkers and Rose Bergstrom. Daly expressed appreciation to the Chamber for cooperation extended to the rodeo. Its mem bers stage the rodeo parade, take care of ticket selling and parking, and provide for the iuncheon for visiting royalty. The vice chairman said that the rodeo is done completely by volunteer help, and the Cham ber has a big part in it. He thanked those who donat ed prizes and said that each year about $1500 worth of troph ies is given. Stock contract has been awarded again this year to Howard Johnson of Condon and Danny Green has the sub-con tract for furnishing bulls. Daly said that Johson's stock is the top used in NRA rodeos and pointed out that Green has a bull, "Fallout," which has nev er been ridden. E. H. (Tad) Miller, Jr., had planned to appear at the Cham ber but was unable to attend because of a conflict. Supt. Ron Daniels of the Mor row county schools made a short talk on the school budget, point ing out that cost per $1000 true cash value of taxable property was less than had been expect ed. The budget will be up for vote on Monday, June 3. Ed Dick reported on the state track meet in Corvallis and said that Heppner High stu dents did a great job in their efforts. Only one placed but others finished just out of the placings. Members voted to continue with the Development Corpora tion formed at the time the Boe ing development started, and authorized paying the state fee for the corporation. McCarthy, Nixon, Duncan, Myers, Mollahan Victors (Continued from pace 1) Marv Root of Madras polled 279 and Wm. W. liuigley of Bak.-r wan third with 109.

Weatherford Trails W. W. (Bill) Weatherford, "11th hour" writein candidate for state senator, IXth senatorial district, received 80 votes from six of Morrow county's nine pre cincts. with three vet to be com piled. He said that he entered the race rather than to we the Democrats co bv default to Ken neth Jernstedt. Hood River. Re publican, who was unopposed Jernstedt received 571 votes In Morrow county on the GOP bill ot. While the count has not been completed on the writeins throughout the 5-county district it appeared early Wednesday that Weatherford failed in his bid to get the Democratic nom ination. Jernstedt was picking uu a heavy writein vote In Wsa- co and Hood River counties, run ning more than 500 in each, ac cording to a telephoned repoit from a Hood River radio station Meanwhile. Weatherford appear ed to have less than 200 in eaeii on this unconfirmed report.
