FIRST PROGRAM - This first printed program for the
Othello rodeo, given recently to the museum by Verl
McCabe, was financed by and dedicated to the people and
businesses of Othello and neighboring towns who supported
the successful event. The 28-page pamphlet had one
center-fold of events, entries and announcements.
Businessmen also sponsored the Ugly Beard contest, for
which most of Othello's males suffered itchy chins all
during harvest. Program cover shows a few of the
beard-growers and bronc riders at the third annual rodeo:
Leon [Dutch] Haase, wheat farmer; Milford [Pug] Terry,
Standard Oil distributor; Perry Larson, cattleman; Cliff
Michel, local rancher; George Hall, Robert Tennyhili, and
Jack Zeller, all Milwaukee Railroaders.

Commissioner Gordon Hays.
Hays reported that the state
highway officials indicate
there appears little chance for
construction of major portions
of the Radar road section of
the highway during the
coming biennium.
District officials of the
highway department reported
that the current budget for the
biennium is set at $4 million
and that this is believed to be
an optimistic figure.
They said this budget will
allow only for replacing the
bridge in the local project. The
highway job on the Radar
road-section replacement has
been divided into four parts.
One includes the birdge, the
second reconstructing the
roadway from the bottom of
the Saddle mountains north to
the bridge. The third involves
that section north of the
bridge to the city limits, and
the fourth the half mile section
in the city limits and connec-
tion with Highway 26.
