"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

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!!

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".

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

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

Sharon Gorman reported that
the bidewalk Bazaar last week
was successful.
Pendleton Round-Up tickets

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.

On the Court
She likes everything about be

ways so many funny little
things that happen. The Grand

exciting. I was on the Spray Ro

parades."

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.
Sincerely,
Josephine Mahoney Baker

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. Ur. Keynoias urgeu evaj-

this disease and if symptoms
were noticed to be sure and have
the animal examined immedi
ately. 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.
