The big news In Washington last
week, as was true over the nation,
was price levels with 'controls taken

stores here showed some Increases,
a few decreases, and many things
selling for about the same. For

in the vetoed bill, and will un-
doubtedly put the same provision In
any new legislation on the subject.
The fact fe that the vast amount of
money the government has borrow-
ed and spent in helping people pay
their grocery bills during the past
four years has added heavily to the
inflationary forces and certainly the
quicker they are removed the better
for the country.

Due to the exceptionally large
number of riders in the arena at
one time, some dust was raised last
night in the grand entry, but the
: field will be sprinkled tonight prior
to the opening of the show.
Feature entertainment was well'
received at the rodeo last night. The
performers, dressed in colorful rodeo
regalia, put on exceptional acts of
trick roping and trick riding. Buff

Ruby and Suzy, came out first with
trick roping exhibitions, which in-
cluded much acrobatics.
Dorothy Cash, Mltzi Lucas and
Tad Lucas Joined Ray Berwick and
Buff Brady, Jr., to entertain the
crowd with a trick and fancy riding
exhibition. Hufford Field, with the
grass turf and long arena offered
the riders an excellent stage to dis-
play their skills.
Bill Merrick and Alex Alexander..
clowns, kept the crowd laughing,
except when Alexander had the
spectators tense with his bull fight-
ing. The nimble footed clown dar-
ingly faced the huge brahma bulls,
and protected the riders when they
were spilled and endangered from ‘
the maddened bulls.
The bareback bronc riding con-
test was carried out with most riders:
qualifying; however, it will take an-
other night to complete one round,
so day money winners cannot be
announced.
