Hutchings Kangaroo Court Being Finance Chairman of the Lions Annual Dixie Round-Up is no new experience ex-perience for Mr. McArthur, each year, since its inauguration they have called upon him to handle the money. Dr. Hutchings is new to the chairmanship of the Kangaroo Court, but the Lions are looking to him to "bring in the money" as well as provide entertainment. Mr. Hammer did such a good job of the publicity end last year that , . the Lions have again called on him to keep the public informed of this big three- day event. Highlights of the Old West Go On Parade At the Dixie Annual Round-Up To Be Presented Here f 1 "If you want to see all the highlights high-lights of the old West and haven't got a lifetime to spend, go to a good Rodeo", that's the advice of Paul F. Hill, famous rodeo director, direc-tor, who is staging the Dixie Round-Up Rodeo at St. George on Sept. 18, 19 and 20. "Watch 'em come out of the chute a hurricane packed with dynamite, with a belly full of bed springs and some slim young cowboy, cow-boy, sitting up there, fanning the bronc with his hat, loose rope held high and spurs scratching free and easy. Horses are always an attraction at-traction and a mean bronc can give a rider plenty of trouble (if he is able to keep himself off the ground) and send chills racing up and down the spine of an audience audi-ence every time a chute gate is opened. Staying aboard a bronc for six or eight seconds-is one thing but riding those seconds according ac-cording to strict contest rules is another. Once you've acquainted yourself with these rules, your admiration ad-miration of the courage and skill of the rider will mount sky high." And there'll be plenty of tough (Continued on page four) i E.

Rodeo Circuits Are Better Rodeo circuits develop riders that outshine the average cowhand cow-hand of the range, because in the arena they are up against wild horses and cattle that would not be found on even the largest ranches in the country. The very fact that space is limited adds to the hazard of the game. Proof that Mr. Hill can deliver the goods as a rodeo director is seen in the list of places that he is staging shows year after year. Following are some of the rodeos in which his stock are used and the show presented under his direction: Parades Those planning o n entering floats in the three parades are urged to start planning on these events at once. The Rodeo parade will be held Thursday afternoon, the Junior parade, Friday afternoon after-noon and the Beauty parade on Saturday evening. Each year these parades have evoked many fine compliments from the spectators spec-tators and the Parade committee reports that indications point to bigger and better parades this year. |
