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.

ored Mann bv a 4-to-l margin
over any of the other candidates

nearest competitor was Everett

by George Stadelman with 159
and Marv Root with 118. Two
