They pointed out that these paintings will be reserved for the more difficult games, but also that there are a number of things other than paintings which are most attractive.

As Mrs. Bray unwrapped the packages to display crib blank ets, tiny sweaters and sweet little baby bonnets, the "guests'' and hpsts who watched were for the most part men wearing blue jeans and cowboy boots. Friendly Pop Hoover, from whose fertile brain came the idea for the "Buckaroo Baby shower" served as master of ceremonies for the party. Tak ing the microphone from Mr. Bray, Mr. Hoover said the cattle men who patronize the auction operated by Mr. and Mrs. Bray hold Mrs. Bray in especially high esteem. She is always friendly and cooperative and never fails to have a kind word and smile for everyone, Mr. Hoover said. He reminded the men and wo men in the stands that stock men and their families are more interested in babies and ap preciate them more than do some people baby calves, baby lambs and baby pigs as well as well as the boy and girl crop. Because they were as pleased as the Brays at the prospect of a fourth child in the auc tioneer's family, Mr. Hoover said the cattlemen were happy to show their appreciation by giving the "buckaroo shower." The Brays' three sons, who help their father and mother at the auction when not in school, were interested observers at the party. The boys are William, 12, Robert, almost 10, and John, 8. The family lives on Route 2, Central Point and all five of them are hoping that the new est little Bray will be a baby sister. The bassinet which was pre sented to the Brays is something of an heirloom. M r s. Hoover, who renovated and recovered it for Mrs. Bray, said she obtained it many years ago from Mr. and Mrs. Donn Piatt of Medford, who had first used it. The Hoover's sons, Claud and Melvin, slept in it as babies and then it was loan ed to 12 or 15 different couples ; Mrs. Hoover can't remember '. how many, until the Hoover grandchildren came along, and i it was used for each grandchild. i When Mrs. Bray no longer has any need for the basket, Mrs. i Hoover expects to make it ready I for some other child. The Brays came to Jackson county from Yreka, California in 1945 and have operated the Mid- i way auction since then. O.S.
