Dances On Horses
Rodeo Feature
Albert Moore, Director of the
famous Texas Prison Rodeo, an-
nounces that he has made arrange-
ments with the Houston Cowboy and
Cowgirl Square Dance on Horseback
team to bring that colorful aggrega-
tion to Prison Stadium as a special
feature at each performance of the
14th annual prison rodeo. The team
is made up of four couples on horse-
back.
Flashily dressed in four different
colored shirts and four all-red shirts
the team will enter the arena from
the south entrance in pairs, each rid-
er mounted on a beautiful horse.
They will proceed to the center of
the arena, and to fitting music, they
will go through the old-fashioned
square dance for the entertainment
of the rodeo visitors.
Another feature to highlight this
year’s show, according to Director
Moore, is a team of jumping horses
owned and trained by former Rang-
er Captain Tom Hickman of Gaines-
ville. Mr. Hickman will bring his fa-
mous team of horses to Prison Sta-
dfum and will be the rider as they
make their jump in the arena.

We join all Americans this week in paying
tribute to the men and women of the Ameri-
can Press fof doing an outstanding job of dis-
seminating news of the world during war and
peace ... and in honoring the American War Correspond-
ents who exposed themselves to the dangers of battle in
order to keep the public informed regarding the progress of
the war. As the American Press has been the source of truth
in news during the trying years of the war, so will it be the
torch of. world peace in -the future.

eration and the burial places of An-
drew Jackson and James K. Polk.
