"Swingin' in the Saddle" This Saturday night's dance will honor Princess Dovie Alder man, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Archie Alderman. The dance will be held at the Fair Pavil ion with the Tune Twisters, Ever since Dovie Alderman can remember she has been rid ing horseback and hoping to be a Morrow County Eodeo princess This year she is the youngest on the 1971 Court. Her riding began with her first swing. Her dad used a sad die instead of the traditional swing board. This hung in one of the big trees in front of their home on No. Shobe St. When she was about four years old she began riding. She "hitched" rides on Roy btamp's horses he kept in the pasture across the creek. She told her mother, "I'm going to get horse and ride way up to the sky". Her 7th birthday is one to re member. She got Blaze, her first horse. Blaze presented her with ' an Appaloosa colt that Novem ber which she named Tonka She sold him to Gwen Drake when he was three years old. Tyce was Blaze's second colt, Like a member of the family she keeps track of the colts, She sold Tyce in Jan., 1971 to Floyd Jones who sold him to Rex English. Tyce is now in Sherwood and belongs to a niece of Mary Wrights. Amber is the horse she has used at the Wrangler's Play Day and in her 4-H work. She was a member of the Two Trackers club for 8 years. She took Jun ior Champion Horse Showman in 1966 at the Morrow County Fair which qualified her to enter the State Fair. Amber doesn't haul in a trailer but prefers a truck. Since the Aldermans didn't have a truck, Dovie didn't go down to try her luck at the State Fair Because a solid color horse is required for the court, her folks bought Coco's Twirp, registered quarter horse, from Floyd Jones, He is magnificent and has real power. She received a handsome saddle on her 16th birthday and a matching breast collar when she got on the Court. This slender dark haired prin cess comes by her love of horses naturally. Her mother was a Lovgren (Gladys). She was one of thirteen children of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Lovgren who farm ed in the Eight Mile country. The house is gone and Frank Anderson owns the ranch. They had family rodeos with lots of riding and roping. Betty Lovgren, now Mrs. Joe Way of Yreka, Calif., was a princess on the Rodeo Court in 1946. Marshall Lovgren and Jim : Lovgren spun ropes in the pa rades. Jim entered the rodeo in the 1940's. He rode bareback and saddle broncs. Another uncle, Vic Lovgren, now of lone, rode in the Northwest saddle bronc contest when they saddled them . in the arena at the Pendleton Eound-Up. ' Princess Dovie and Donna Peterson, this year's Court chap- erone, are cousins. Her dad came from Hillsville, ; Va., when he was 17 years old. He came out to see his brother, Art Alderman. Art used to ride bucking horses in the rodeo cir cult. He now has the hottel at ; Long Creek. In School Dovie was on the Honor Roll at Heppner High School for the past four 9-weeks. One more to go and she will qualify for membership in the National Honor Society. This she is hop ing to do. She is a member of the High School Rodeo Club, the Drill team and the Volleyball team. She enjoys painting. She has taken art from Tom Shear for two years. Along with the art instruction he gives them ideas to develop expressive use of their leisure time with collages, mobiles, silk screen and water paints. She also enjoyed the art taught by Miss Terry Lincecum and Mrs. Bushway. At Home She has taken cooking in 4-H DOTS JOTS The Carmichaels are planning to attend the Kentucky Derby next year. Mrs. Carmichael was a Leathers and since her re tirement she has been working on her family tree. She tells me that her family was one of the starters of the Kentucky Derby. So seeing the great horse race has double fun for her. She's wondering how early she should write for tickets. I wouldn't bet that she wouldn't get tickets . . . because if any one can Juanita can . . . but I will buy her a coke if she gets one! It was our experience when we wrote for tickets the year before we were going, that they were all reserved from year to year by the same families and from one generation to the next one! We saw the race from the great infield . . . Along with 18,000 other people!! THE GREEN GRASS of the Alderman's lawn Is Coco Twirp's fav orite pasture. and Home Ec. Of sewing she says, "I like to sew but . . ." Once while browsing in a shop in The Dalles, she studied how the moccasins had been beaded. This interested her enough that she came home and made herself a pair of mocca sins. She has since learned to tack down each bead. Right now she is beading another pair of moccasins for a girl friend. She is making them with the popu lar peace symbol. She likes to Snow Ski and while in 4-H Snow Skiing she "learned how to fall down real good". When it comes to reading, Ann Landers and Dear Abbie Flood Shown In Bank The Heppner flood of last May is featured in the July issue of FNB Statement, the employee magazine for First National Bank of Oregon. The feature relates the exper lences of Heppner branch Man ager Harley Sager during the flood. He talks of the 1903 flood and then describes some of the damage caused by this year's flood. "The girls in the bank watched Chamber Asks Fair Support At Monday's Chamber lunch eon at the Wagon Wheel, Pres ident Pierce told of Chamber of ficers meeting with the County air Board. He urged everyone to please cooperate with the Morrow Coun ty Fair and Rodeo. All are re quested to buy admission but tons which will be sold soon The buttons costing only 50c eacn will admit a person to the Fairgrounds every day except for the rodeo. It will also be time in a couple of weeks to start wearing the official ties. Sharon Gorman reported that the bidewalk Bazaar last week was successful. Pendleton Round-Up tickets are for sale in Section H. Thev are choice grandstand seats for Morrow County Day, Sept. 16, lickets are available at both banks and Turner, Van Marter and Bryant. Dr. Tibbies announced that the Shrine Game will be in Pen dleton Aug. 21. Tickets are still available here. There was some discussion of raising funds for the new score board for the football field here. The bottling company will pay $500 of the cost of $2200. The balance may come from dona tions from individuals and from several lodges and perhaps some trom part of the admissions to the college games here this fall. RUTH McMURDO Mrs. Ruth McMurdo has been moved to the Grande Ronde Hos- j pital in La Grande and is re ported to be steadily improving. Mrs. Phillip Dohertv is back as Chief Clerk at the Forest Ser vice office. She has been in the hospital for sometime taking treatment for a blood clot- She was at home a week before re turning to work. "Yon gotta be kidding you've only been here a week and you feel you're not get ting anywhere . . . njiTr . .T Starts Princess Dovie on : l' . M -A I'.'; are her favorite authors. After High School she plans for Portland State with a ma jor in Psychology. On the Court She likes everything about be ing on the Court. "There's al ways so many funny little things that happen. The Grand Entry on Coco's Twirp is most exciting. I was on the Spray Ro deo Court last yar. At Spray and Condon this year, we had de licious potlucks following the parades." Preceding the dance on Sat urday, Mr. and Mrs. Alderman and Dovie will host an outdoor supper for their court and their parents and friends. Magazine the flood from the window," said Sager. "They tell me that at the Pontiac garage east of us the water just picked up the cars and washed them onto the street. They also say the water was around the cars' windows." Sager then tells of the fright ening experience he and his wife had when they -could not find their 11-year-old son Kelly after the flood. "My wife first went to the school, but not seeing anyone there thought the busses had already left- She feared Kelly must have left the school and when trying to cross the bridge on his way to . the paper route was washed off." The FNB Statement is a monthly magazine edited by Tom Santee and mailed to some es of First National as well as many civic leaders in Oregon and banks throughout the na tion. The Heppner feature, titled Flash Flood The Heppner Tragedy," includes two photos by tne Heppner Gazette-Times and one photo by Heppner res ident Doris Flynn. Copies of the magazine are available without charge at the Heppner branch of First Nat ional Bank of Oregon. TO THE EDITOR. . . Dear Editor: Offhand I would say Hazel Mahoney was a bit excited when she sent a card from Eng land addressed to "Josephine Baker Mahoney Anyhow she and husband Bill (Mr. and Mrs. P. W.) had lunch with my English family, Diana and Arthur Clarke at their home. She said they are a lovely coup le. They stayed and visited about 3 hours. In the same mail came an air mail from Diana saying how pleased she and Arthur were to have them and what lovely peo- pie they think they are. They took photos while there so it seems a good time was had by all, even the 2 dogs. Diana wrote the most vivid recollection she has of her uncle, Frank Hale, who spent sometime in Heppner, is on one of his visits home. There was an air raid and a Spitfire was chasing a German plane overhead in a "dog fight" Frank Hale who was in the Royal Air Force was shouting encouragement when Diana came out of the bomb shelter and got him back in.

Thursday, July 29. 1971 Texas Horses Barred Horses originating in Texas or any state that might be quar antined by the USDA because of the recent outbreak of Venezu elan Equine Encephalomyelitis (sleeping sickness) will be bar red from entering Oregon under a 90 day emergency quarantine issued July 15, by Oregon's Di rctor of Agriculture, Irvin Mann, Jr. A second quarantine order will be issued if necessary. This emergency measure was necessary because of the highly communicable and contagious nalure of this disease, which can be fatal to humans. Veterinarians of the state have been alerted to the seriousness of the disease and directed to immediately notify the proper authorities if there is suspicion of a case. Horse owners are advised not to enter their animals m out- of-state shows, parades, or other competitive events unless they could be assured no horses or iginating from area within 300 miles of a known outbreak of the disease would be permitted entry. Don Stangel, Morrow County Extension Agent, learned in a talk with Dr. Guy Reynolds, ex tension animal health specialist, that the vaccine for this partic ular strain of sleeping sickness is not authorized for use in Ore gon.

Symptoms of encephalitis in horses include lack of coord ination, a tendency to wander, staggering, a pendulous hanging of the lower lip, stumbling and standing in awkward positions. In advanced cases, a horse will go down. Dr. Reynolds also urges horse men to protect their animals from the western strain of this disease by vaccinating each year. The disease is most prev alent during July and August when mosquitoes are at their worst. Mosquito control should be practiced since they are noted to be the chief transmitters of the disease.
