To Perform At
Prison Rodeo Sun.
Huntsville — Prison Rodeo
fans will have another oppor-
tunity to see the 33rd Annual
series in Huntsville, Sunday,
Oct. 11, at 2 p. m., which will
feature the roughest rodeo con
tests ever assembled in one
arena.
The main attraction in each
show will be tough inmate cow-
boys attempting to tame tough-
er prison-produced broncs and
hulls in a host of events not
usually found in other rodeos.
Two sections each of saddle-
bronc riding, bareback bronc
riding and bull riding are
standard fare for each perform-
ance along with another pris-
on rodeo “special” known as
the wild horse race. In this
thriller 10 wild horses are re
leased from 10 chutes to 30 of
the inmate contestants who
work in teams of three to hold,
saddle and ride the outlaws
past a line designated by rodeo
judges at the opposite end of
the arena.
Two other events that have
proved to be crowd pleasers
are: The Calf Tussle—80 men
and 40 calves loose in the arena
at the same time. In two-man
teams, the cowboys will try to
wrestle their calf across the
finish line for top money. In
the hard money event a bull
durham sack with $50 inside is
tied to the horns of an enraged
Brahman bull. The object is for
the dowboys to wrestle the
money away from the very un-
cooperative bull.
For anyone who likes the
thrills and excitement of this
popular form of Western en-
tertainment, and especially
those who have never seen one
of the Texas Prison Exhibi-
tions, the rodeo at Huntsville
is recommended as a “must,
Heading the list of special
entertainment for the second
rodeo will be the Duke of Pa-
ducah, famous folk humorist
who gets his laughs with the
best of them; plus Don Ma-
honey and Jeanna Clare, well
known western singers. Guest
stars on succeeding Sundays
include the Harmonica Rascals
Oct. 18 and 25, and country
singing personality Jimmy
Dean Oct. 25.
There will be a number of
inmate entertainment groups
providing pre-rodeo and be-
tween events music. These
groups include the Western
Stringsters, the Hungry Three,
the Jug Band, the Jail House
Beatles, the Barber Shop Quar-
tet, and the Goree Girls from
the women’s unit of the TDC.
Net proceeds of the rodeo go
into the educational and recre-
ational fund of the TDC. The
fund supports such inmate ac-
tivities as education, vocation-
al training, recreation, spiritual
guidance and special dental,
optical and medical services not
provided by the state.
Reserved seat tickets are
$2.40: $3.75 and $4.40 each, tax
included. Tickets may be ob-
tained by writing Rodeo Ticket
Office, Huntsville, Texas, en-
closing check or money order.

Country Editors
Believe Johnson
Will Carry Texas
Austin — Sixty - two small
town editors were telephoned
from the Johnson - Humphrey
Texas Campaign headquarters
here and asked to predict elec-
tion results in their counties.
They were widely scattered,
ranging from Deaf Smith and
Ochiltree to San Patricio and
Chambers. There was substan-
tially no movement from last
week’s poll. Of the 62, five
thought that Senator Barry
Goldwater was leading, five
thought the race was even, and
52 said their counties would
probably go for President John-
son, by margins ranging from
52 percent to 85 percent.
The estimates were borne out
by results of an Interstate The-
ater survey, made by asking
patrons to drop ticket stubs in
presidential ballot boxes. Latest
figures released by the theater
chain, which has many outlets
in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio,
Houston and other Texas cities,
show Johnson leading with
57.8 percent and Goldwater
with 42.2 percent. In Austin
alone, the poll was more lop-
sided, almost two to one for
Johnson.
Another interesting straw
poll was made by Spot Cash
Grocery store in Matador, Mot-
ley County. As reported by Edi-
tor Douglas Meador in the
Matador Tribune, results were
89 for LBJ and 45 for Gold-
water.
Editor Jim Winter of the
Hemlsfalr 1968
In San Antonio
To (oil $80 Million
HemisFair 1988, the first ma-
jor international exposition ev-
er presented in the Southwest
ern United States, will open in
San Antonio in April 1968.
Constructed on 85 acres of land
right in the center of the city
and costing $80 million to pre-
sent, the 184 day Fair is dedi-
cated to inter-American unity,
an to the culture, trade and in-
dustry of the New World na-
tions. Along the way, it will
celebrate San Antonio’s two-
hundred-and-fiflieth anniver-
sery.
Referring to HemisFair 1968
in a letter to Fair President,
William R. Sinkin, President
Johnson called It, “a living ex-
ample of our nation’s policy of
inter-American cooperation.”
Planning for HemisFair has
been underway since 1962 led
by Sinkin and Bexar County’s
Congressman Henry B. Gon-
zalez. In just four months of
1963, San Antonio business and
civic leaders pledged seven and
one-half million dollars for
HemisFair underwriting. I n
1964, San Antonio voters
matched this effort with a
pledge of their own when they
endorsed a thirty million dol
lar bond issue for fair-orienta-
ted development — the largest
bond issue in the city’s history
■by a ratio of three to one.
Ewen C. Dingwall, who ran
the highly successful Seattle
World’s Fair of 1962, has come
to San Antonio as executive
Mason County News summed
up his feelings in an editorial
endorsing his neighbor to the
south, President Johnson, when
he said “We are not only proud
of the fact that Lyndon John-
son is a Texan, we are proud of
the fact that he is our neighbor.
This, however, is not reason
enough to ask a full new term
for him. We believe that during
the past months he has demon-
strated beyond question that
he has the ability to be in the
high office he holds, with the
responsibility that goes with it.
We urge that Mason County
give President Johnson a
smashing victory this Novem-
ber.”
Similar views have been ex-
pressed by many coutry edi-
tors, including one who has
known President Johnson since
his college days.
Organizational and get out
the vote plans dominated ac-
tivity this week at the Austin
campaign headquarters. Ap-
pointment of district and coun-
ty chairmen for the presiden-
tial ticket is nearing comple-
tion. The first task of the
county chairmen will be to get
out the largest possible vote for
the first Texan to become
President of the United States.

City venture. HemisFalr’s head-
quarters is in the newly re-
furbished buildings of the his-
toric German-English School,
first constructed in 1839.
Actually, the fact that Hem-
isFair offices are as modern as
the most up-to-date equipment
can make them and yet are
housed in buildings over a cen-
tury bid can be taken as a sym-
bol of the Fair’s attitude and
theme. The downtown Fair site
contains a multitude of old
buildings which will not be
bulldozed away, but which will
be restored for new functions
under the direction of Hemis-
Fair’s internationally noted Co-
ordinating Architect, O’Neil
Ford.
At the same time, modern
pavilions and^exhibition halls
Including a multi - million
dollar Convention Center—will
rise as companions to these ex-
amples of the legacy left by
San Antonio’s colorful past.
Plans for the Fair include a
permanent amusement area,
Soly Sombra, modeled after the
world famous Tivoli Gardens
of Copenhagen, Denmark. Ex-
hibit areas for a multitude of
industries, and for every gov-
ernment participating in the
Alliance for Progress, both
north and south of the equator,
are also included in the plans.
