Th« Nyssa Gat« City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Pag« T«n Commission Honored National High School Rodeo At Filer, Idaho “Rodeo of Champions” with winners from twenty-five states will participate in the National High School Rodeo to open at 2:00 p.m. on August 3 at the Filer Fairgrounds. The gigantic rodeo, sponsored by the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce, promises action plus with two arena-events going on simultaneously for a five- day interval with two perfor­ mances daily at 2:00 and 8.00 p.m. Special church services will be staged on horseback on Sun­ day to be followed by the clos­ ing performance at 2:00 p.m. at which time prizes will be awarded to national finalists. About 500 contestants, all state winners, will participate in the rodeo which is expected to draw approximately 40,000 spectators. Participants are coming from Florida,Louisiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Texas and California to name but a few of the 25 states to be represented by champions. Washington will send contes­ tants for the first time this year. There will be Canadian representatives in attendance, not to compete, but as spec­ tators. This is by no means an ama­ teur rodeo. The high school rodeo contenders will ride the same mean one-ton Brahma bulls that hate everything and everybody in sight, and the savagely twisting turning bron­ cos that rodeo circuit riders face in rodeos throughout the nation. In fact the stock for the National High School Rodeo is furnished by Cotton Roser of the Golden State RodeoCom- pany. It is termed some of the meanest, wildest, most unpre­ dictable that man has to face in the arena. Almost twice as many animals are needed to stage this event as for the Madison Square Garden Rodeo. Timing for the events is com­ parable to the Rodeo Cowboy As­ . sociation times even though the contestants are high school stu­ dents. Announcers will be John Huston and Don Harrington. Ro­ deo clown, Tim Oyler, one of the best of the younger clowns on the rodeo circuit, will delight the crowds with his antics, while protecting rodeo contes­ tants. This will be a gala event with exhibits and displays of western wear, rodeo articles and sou­ venir items including trade and silver commemorative dollars. Devoted to horsemanship, sportsmanship and scholarship for the American youth in an American sport, the National High School Rodeo Finals promises week-long top enter­ tainment. judging on such characteristics as avoidance of partisan poll* tics in making decisions regard­ ing the wildlife resource, con­ sideration of the professional staff* s suggestions on biological Members of Ladies Golf at Ontario meet on Tuesdays and are trying to establish interest for everyone by having some­ thing different planned for each week.

Certainly our budding outdoors­ men need Instruction in woods­ man shipand survival along with choosing proper equipment and its care. We advise young boys and girls who have not had previous training that now is the time to enroll. Most instructors are themselves avid hunters and once the seasons begin, these men cease scheduling classes to spend their time in the field enjoying the hunting that they love so well. If you don’t obtain the required instruction now, you will not be able to hunt this fall. It’s up to parents and young­ sters to take the initiative. In­ structors are ready and willing but they can’t teach you unless you enroll.

Alder, to consider hunting regulations for the taking of upland birds, waterfowl, and small game animals. The meet­ ing will convene at 10 a.m. At the meeting the Com­ mission will hear a status re­ port on upland bird production, staff recommendations for the fall seasons, and recommenda­ tions from the public. Opening dates for chukars and pheasants are already set - October 2 for chukars and October 16 for pheasants. On the agenda will be bag limits, length of seasons, hunting seasons for grouse and quail, and general hunting rules. The Commission will also consider regulatory measures pertaining to nongame animals under statutory pro­ visions of House Bill 1123 passed by the 1971 Legislature. Following the public hearing the Commission will adopt re­ gulations which will be final for the 1971 hunting seasons. Game Commission Stresses Juvenile Firearms Training The fall hunting seasons are fast approaching. Several sea­ sons get underway in August. September opens up a full month of hunting with several sea­ sons on tap, and the general big game and upland game sea­ sons are in full swing in Octo­ ber. With such a slate of hunting on the calendar we wish to advise prospective Juvenile hunters of their need for train­ ing in the safe handling of fire­ arms. And this training must be obtained before youngsters embark with family and friends to participate in this great out­ door recreation. The law requires that to be able to hunt in the fields and forests of the state (except on one’s own property), boys and girls through the age of 17 must take and successfully pass a course in firearms safety. Upon completion of the course the youngster is issued a hunter safety certificate which he must carry with him at all times he is in the field hunting. These important instructional classes are now being held or will be scheduled in all areas of the state. The courses are offered by sportsmen’s clubs, civic organizations, interested individuals, and by schools in some areas. Under the di­ rection of Cal Giesler, hunter safety supervisor for the Game Commission, about 3,000 volun­ teer instructors are certified to train juveniles in the safe handling of firearms. Parents are also invited to take advan­ tage of the classes - free for the taking unless actual range shooting is added, in which case minor expenses may be in­ curred. The required course for ju­ veniles is a minimum of six hours of instruction. The in­ struction covers basic firearms nomenclature, sighting, shoot­ ing, and handling techniques, and safety rules which must be followed if accidents are to be prevented at home, on the shooting range, or in the field. Some instructors (optional with all) schedule eight or more hours of instruction. The added hours may include Instruction and actual range shooting, hunting ethics and sportsman­ ship, outdoor survival, and per­ haps a few principles of wild­ life management. In this writer’s opinion, such training is of paramount importance be- The Oregon State Game Com­ mission was awarded the first COMMISSION OF THE YEAR AWARD by the Western Asso­ ciation of State Game, Fish Thursday, July 29, 1971 TOMATO SAUCE PROTEIN ”21”, 7 oz.
