PAGE SEVEN THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL. NYSSA. OREGON. THURSDAY. JULY l 1951 of their performance when entering Rodeo To Bring the rodeo arena. The first time this reporter saw Back Pioneer Spirit George Menkinmeyer of Burns ride (Continued from Fife 1) seeing that his stock is in the best possible condition to give the audi ence a real performance of Ks fight ing ability when the animal Is re leased from the chutes. The rodeo cowboy is not presented with any sofa-cushion rides when he comes out aboard one of Tucker's show animals. Due to the softball enthusiasts, the fence separating the rodeo arena and racetrack has been removed. This will allow a much better view for the spectators in the grandstand, as it brings the show much closer to them. New lights have also bees' added so that the most detailed action of the contestants can be clearly observed. Added work on the chutes will facilitate more effici ent handling of stock so that the spectators should be given a much faster and more interesting show. In addition to at least 30 riding club members working each evening, many of ti.e public spirited and oivic-minded business men and members of the chamber of com- merc are taking part in various responsibilities and activities. Most of these citizens give of their time liberally, as well as contributing money (for the cowboy purses) from their business in order to make this community event a success. These citizens of Nyssa are to be congratulated upon assuming the financial burden of the purses, as well as helping to make it possible for free programs to be distributed at the rodeo. The reason the rodeo committee is able to distribute these programs ‘free’,—is because of the advertising purchased by the local business men. A real effort is being made this year to add pictures and items to make the programs more interesting as souvenirs of the events the spectators have enjoyed at the rodeo. Announcer Pete Logan, considered one of the best in the country, will announc? for all of the three night's activities. Pete knows the men rid ing, and has announced in Hous ton, Madison Square Garden and in the northwest states. Among the well-known cowboys returni-g for this year’s rodeo, are Jack Peroyfield of Arizona, calf roper and pickup man; Walt Sullins of California, who has won the Nyssa bareback riding event every year; Brahma bull-rider Vaden Ashby of Canada; Cecil Bedford of Touchet, Washington; George Menkinmeyer of Bums, who won the saddle-bronc money two years ago; and Ray Beam of Sharon Springs, Kansas. Ross Dollarhide, one of the new outstand ing rodeo performers of the past three years, is expected to return. It is also hoped that Buck Davis, who won top honors at Madison Square Garden, as well as other riders of the older school, will again be present to show the excellence was at a country rodeo at a cow ranch m the hills near Drewsy. Oregon. The contestants paid no fee and received no award for their efforts However, Menkinmeyer was one of the outstanding performers of the show One of George's com panions had the misfortune of draw ing a horse called Screwdriver. The man was thrown and received a badly fractured ankle, necessitating his removal Do the hospital at Burns. The rodeo continued and at the conclusion, George made a very beautiful ride on Screwdriver. The crowd collected a purse for him. Oeorge doubled the purse from his own pocket and gave It to the boy who was hurt. We all like to see a fellow like Oeorge Menkinmeyer make a successful ride! Por each evening's performance, the Nyssa 1951 Rodeo Queen Colleen Bybee and her three attending prin cesses, Virginia Com. Estelle Good- son, and Nannette Bybee. will be present. Besides the five major sections of each evening's performance, which includes the bronc riding, bareback riding, bull dogging, calf roping, and Brahma bull riding, there are added attractions. The clown will be Sher man Crane of Santa Anita, Cali fornia, a Brahma bull-fighter, who brings with him his trained mule and mischievous monkey. Although Crane Is new to the Nyssa arena, it is believed that his performance will come up to the high standard of daring and comedy which the audi ence expects. The Harmon Twins of Tacoma, Washington will appear nightly, doing their acrobatic and bouncing act. Calf roping and calf riding for the children will be an other added attraction. foetal Notes _5_ HAS BIRTHDAY PARTY Jerry Gyllensgog, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
