Will the military and economic aid that the United States is now giving South Vietnam be repayable to this country? Now We Know Why - O - Professional rodeos bull riding fraternity spend more time on the injured list than any other group of contestants in the game. Here is one graphic explanation of why they do. Such action will be a part of the Black Diamond Stampede rodeo July 29-3- Rodeo Clowns Not Just for Laughs Of all rodeo competion bull riding is the only event in which animals deliberately attack their riders. The rodeo clown, although his baggy clothing and painted face are has a deadly serious purpose in the arena. When a cowboy comes down from a flailing 1500 pounds of bucking bull the clown must divert the animals attention from his prey. To do so, the clown relies on his stored-uknowledge of bovine behavior, and the cleated shoes he wears to prevent slipping. d Often his judgment errs in timing, and broken bones or loss of an eye may be his reward. The bull makes no distinction in mirth-provokin- p split-secon- targets. Danger for the cowboy begins in the chutes where the bull may crush a leg or use its horns to club the rider on his back. Once clear in Because of the heavy demands the wartime situation places upon the resources of the Vietnamese economy, the majority of current aid to Vietnam does not require repayment in the usual sense. Just is in the case of Korea during and immediately following the conflict there, the difficulties the arena the rider must depend upon the clown for safety. d Any moment in the required seems to often that journey stretch an eternity, the clown is poised to rush in as a protector. The weight of churning hooves present an even greater danger than the bulls heavy horns, to a fallen rider, so the clown must draw the animal away in as straight a line eight-secon- as possible. Once the cowboy has reached a vantage point of safety, the clown may underplay his own perilious role, with spaced rushes to sanctuary on arena chutes or fence, as the bull rages against his foiled plan of destruction. But under the masking grease paint that caricatures his face, the rodeo clown is well aware of his constant partnership with danger. of fighting the Communists insurgents have so reduced the Vietnamese earnings of dollars and other foreign exchange earning potential that we could give them almost no help if we expected repayment in dollars. Once reconstruction is well underway at the end of hostilities, we expect that the Vietnamese will also develop a capacity to begin paying for aid in foreign exchange on a loan basis just as the Koreans are now doing. However, the Vietnamese do in one way make payment for a great majority of our aid. For example, aid commodities sent to Vietnam under the U. S. Commercial Import Program are paid for by the Vietnamese private importers in local currency, and these local currency amounts are deposited to the account of the U. S. Government. This Vietnamese currency is then turned over to the Government of Vietnam to be used in support of programs mutually agreed upon by Forest Timber Management Plans Approved Manti-LaS- al The timber management plans for the two divisions of the Manti-LaSNational Forest have been recently approved by Regional Forannounced ester Floyd Iverson Robert B. Terrill, supervisor of the Manti-LaSNational Forest.

Many sawmills on this forest obtain all or part of this supply of wood products from national forest lands.
