Gals Find Pleasure
With Hours of Work
For 'Love of Riding'
Hard work and dedicated
practice have payed off in both
fun and Improved riding abil
ities for a group of determined
girls and women this summer.
Several of the local gals who
do not get much practice other
wise have taken time to seek
out Instruction at the Jim Gor
man Stables, transporting their
own horses several times each
week to the Van Schoiack
ranch, on hot and cool days
alike, to become more efficient
riders.
Gorman has given profession
1 riding Instruction to many
groups during the past seven
ears but, he reports, he "has
never been involved with a
more determined or harder
working group."
Various ages have been In
cluded in both beginning and
advanced training. Much time
is spent in learning basic good
horsemanship, in performance
nd reigning execution, in the
orking classes, and in show
manship. Among top working
horses trained bv Gorman in
this area is Mr. Bar Barred,
owned by Floyd Jones.
Gorman Is expected to ludee
In 4-H horsemanship and show
manship contests at the Mor
row county fair later this
month.
Big Sheep-Killing
Cougar Bagged
At Kinzua Mountain
A large female cougar was
shot on July 29 by Dalton Wll
helm on Guthrie Prairie in the
Klnzua Mountain area, accord
ing to State Police Officer Curt
is Culp.
Wllhelm, who Is employed
by Jack Stelwer of Fossil, shot
the animal after it had killed
11 sheep, including ewes and
lambs, the state officer said.
Since cougars are now class
ified as protected game
animals, the matter was re
ported to state police. It Is legal
to kill them if they are destroy
ing or endangering domestic
animals, the state officer said.
While It is considered desir
able to seek permission first In
hunting a predator cougar,
sometimes the time element Is
a factor in order for a person to
protect his stock and no per
mission is required In such in
stances. This Is the first report of a
cougar being killed in this
area for perhaps two years.

press and a built-in "rain and soil" repeller.
These authentic western pants are tough enough to take a rain
and dirt storm without a hitch -and siick enough for a big Satur
day night dance. All in the same day? Well, maybe not, but they'll
come closer than anything else.
An extra-heavy, western fabric of 50 polyester and 50 combed
cotton, available in beige,' brown and loden, offers no-iron con
venience and a new "rain and soil" repeller. This dual purpose
finish is both a repellent which helps shed water, dirt and other
stains and a releaser for cleaner, brighterwashing.
