Lady's Smile Was Best Reward For Cowboy
LUBBOCK, Tex. (UPI) — To, most people today, the world “rodeo” brings an image of a modern arena, steel cattle chutes, painted clowns and a veritable herd of livestock and many riders. But men such as Max Coleman of Lubbock can remember the days when the West was young and a rodeo was held in a ring formed by wagons pulled into a circle and with only three or four riders. Coleman remembers the first rodeo in Lubbock. It was a September day in 1902, Coleman was 13 and Lubbock was a town of about 295 souls. And the prospect of a rodeo was an exciting one for a town with few social events to brighten the routine of work. Coleman says a freight outfit had just pulled into town with four wagons hitched end-to-end. These were pulled into a circle with assorted other wagons, surreys and buckboards —and the arena was ready. Three bronco riders made up the competitors in that first Lubbock rodeo. Coleman recalls. He was betting on a 20-year-old rider named Rob Tubbs, who at the age of 12 had hired
out as a horse wrangler on a cattle drive. The prize for the winner was a saddle donated by a shop owner. But Coleman knew Tubbs had another prize in mind. Tubbs was certain the town's pretty schoolteacher would be at the rodeo and he wanted her to see him win. And win he did. He stayed on a bucking bronc named "ReUnion” for the time limit, then dismounted, cut the horse’s bridle and mounted again to show he had tamed the horse. Rob Tubbs did so well, Coleman recalls, that his brother, Frank Tubbs, would not compete against him. The next year, Rob married the schoolteacher. Many rodeos have gone through Lubbock since that first one more than a half century ago. But oldtimers such as Coleman keep strong the remembrance of the rodeo days before the high prize stakes and the elaborate arenas — days when working cowpunchers tested their skills in makeshift arenas with perhaps a saddle or a lady’s smile the major prize.

(By LARRY D. HATFIELD) WASHINGTON UPI — Government farm economists say that the volume of farm mortgage lending will stay substantially below a year ago for the rest of 1967 unless the current tight money situation eases. They add that the current outlook is apparently for continued high interest rates and perhaps an even tighter money market in the next few months. The volume of farm mortgage lending declined sharply in the first quarter of this year, according to data furnished to the Agriculture Department by the three major lending groups-life insurance companies, federal land banks, and the Farmers Horns Administration. Department economist Forest Warren attributed the sharp drop to the “general tight money situation.’* He said competition was intense for the use of money in other areas and business had been successful in bidding up the price of money. New farm mortgage loans made by the three lender groups amounted to $447 million in January, February and March, 30 per cent below the volume during the same months a year ago. Lending by the reporting life insurance companies was at the lowest first-quarter level since 1963.
The Farmers Home Administration did not have a substantial loan volume because of a small amount of loanable funds, the department said. Interest rates on new farm mortgage loans were higher than in 1966 with life insurance companies averaging 6.68 per cent on loan commitments. That compared with 5.94 per cent during the first quarter of 1966 and 6.64 per cent for the fourth quarter. The 12 federal land banks were charging 6 per cent on all farm mortgage loans, continuing the rate that h s held steady since last September. During the first quarter of 1966, however, interest rates ranged as low as 5.2 per cent up to 6 per cent.
GOV. NIXES RADAR ATLANTA UPI — Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox has vetoed a bill that would have returned to cities and counties the right to use radar in traffic enforcement Only the state patrol has that right Maddox gave several reasons for the veto, but one was personal. “I’ve been caught by these things four times and I’m convinced they can only be used as an entrapment” he said.

TV in review
By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD UPI — South of the border, down Mexico way, went the crew of ABCTV’s “Saga of Western Man” series, to do an hour documentary on the conquest of that country by Hernando Cortez. For a while during production, it seemed a jinxed venture. Injuries and other mishaps nearly decimated the small, tightly-knit crew that has given televiewers so many enjoyable and worthwhile hours of re-created historical adventures. The result of this difficult journey finally was presented during the weekend, and the discipline and professionalism of the “Saga of Western Man” artisans prevailed again as they brought forth an hour that looked like no trouble at all. “Cortez and the legend,” as the John Secondari-Helen Jean
tez broadcast, NBC-TV alto presented an hour special, “The American Image,” which at* tempted to show the United States through the eyes of ita arts from colonial days to cur* rent times. The script by Aline Saarinen and John Lord was literate and informative, but to this layman it seemed that the hour tried to show so many works by so many artists that the speed with which they flew by left a final feeling of thinness in the program. ; It would seem to be a fact of life that the transference of one form of communications—say, painting—onto the form of another—say, television — often results in a natural altering of original impact. For example, in a gallery we may study and enjoy a painting at our leisure, discovering something new in it with each fresh look. But

The Lighter Side
(By DICK WEST) By United Press International WASHINGTON UPI —Let’s say, just for fun, that the Chinese or Russians launch a missile attack against us. The air raid warnings sound and we rush out into our front yards with our portable color television sets. We put the sets face up on the ground and turn them on. Don’t bother about the schedule. It might be time for Art Linkletter’s “House Party,” but “Peyton Place” or “Gilligan’s Island” will work just as well. What we are doing, you see, is erecting a ballistic missile defense system, so the program doesn’t really matter. If everything goes as I envision, the incoming missiles will be destroyed before they reach the earth. Unfortunately, however, I can’t guarantee the system will work. But these are perilous times and it behooves us all to put forth our brilliant ideas, even if they don’t pan out. I got this idea from a couple of press releases issued this week by Rep. Paul G. Rogers D-Fla., and Rep. Craig Hosmer, R-Calif. In one, Rogers expresses concern that certain color television sets under certain conditions may be leaking more radiation than is good for the viewers out front. Or rather underneath. “I do not wish to start a national scare,” Rogers said ‘But now I think there are compelling reasons to hold public hearings and initiate proper steps to find out exactly the extent of this potential menace.” He quoted the U. S. Public Health Service as saying thr.t “the radiation was aimed downward at the floor and not at the viewer directly.” But he said the service didn’t know whether “the radiation stopped at the floor or traveled through it and affected anyone who happened to be below the television.” As one who happens to spend a lot of time beneath a TV set,

I read Rogers’ statement with interest, if not alarm. In the other release, Hosmer, a member of the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy Commission, voluntarily “confirmed a national news magazine's speculation that x-rays might be used” for missile defense. I gather Hosmer was not necessarily thinking in terms of using television sets as the source of the radiation. But then he may not have seen Rogers’ release. At any rate, it seems to me the possibilities of tising television as a defense against missiles should at least be investigated. And if that doesn’t work, then maybe we should give some thought to using missiles as a defense against television.

The fifth meeting of the Belle Union Busy Belles 4-H Club was held at the school house on May 26 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting was called to order by our president. The American Pledge was led by Trudy McCammack and the 4-H Pledge by Cathy Frye. Roll was taken and there were 23 members present. We had a new member at the meeting, Merrilla McCammack. We hope she enjoys the club. Our song leader then led us in some songs. After songs both clubs met together in the gym where we heard a very interesting talk about the law by Sheriff Bob Albright. We then went back to the regular meeting and the secretary's report was given. There were no corrections or additions. The treasurer’s report was given and there is a balance of $27.37. The meeting was then opened for old business. The matter of signs was discussed and also a money-making project. It was voted that we will have a bake sale June 10. All members are to talk to their mothers and be ready to report back what they can bring to the next meeting, June 2. Our leader then explained that the deadline for adding to or subtracting any projects for this year is May 31. She also told us about 4-H camp. Health and Safety was then presented by Beverly Hurst. We enjoyed two very nice demonstrations by Cathy Frye and Nancy Arnold. The meeting was adjourned. We had recreation and refreshments. Don’t forget — the next meeting is Friday, June 2.

Warrant Issued For Bank Robbery Suspects Monday
INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a former Cambridge City man as a suspect in the $17,437 holdup of the Park Fletcher branch of the American Fletcher National Bank & Trust Co. here last Friday. James T. Neagle, special agent in charge of the Indianapolis office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said the warrant was issued Saturday by U.S. District Atty. Richard P. Stein for the arrest of William
C. Edwards, 36, Garden City, Mich. A car with Michigan license plates, which was found abandoned at Weir Cook Municipal Airport, was believed to have been used after the holdup. Authorities believe the bandit took a commercial flight to Detroit within an hour after the robbery. Neagle said Edwards was reported seen in Detroit Friday night. He said Edwards was convicted on bank robbery charges in Detroit in 1958.
