According to Eber Copcland new president of the Jaycees, this money will be distributed toward support of the Redlands Community Hospital drive and possibly Little League baseball. Weather was ideal for the circus-like Rodeo, which attracted riders and ropers from many points in the west and midwest to take part in the regular circuit program. Competition in the six ro deo events counted toward the official standings in CAA for the cowboys as the two-day rodeo was on the regular circuit season. Junior Horsemen Take Part Taking part in Ihe program from Redlands was the local Junior Horseman club, who joined Ihe performers in Ihe grand entry which started off the program each day. Sunday, four horse races were run and also three strings of horses competed in Pony Express relay races.

Bonny Holt of Dunlap Acres was announced as the winner in Sunday's race in a close finish over Bud Parnell's quartet of horses.

Copeland said that the enthusiastic support given the Rodeo has encouraged the Junior Chamber lo consider making the Benefit Rodeo an annual event. This will be taken up later by the Jaycees.

Redlander Unable To Rescue Drowning Man Despite efforts of a Redlands man to save him, Robert Lloyd Quaschnick, 33, Gait, was drowned in one of the lakes at Fisherman's Retreat, eight miles southeast of Redlands, yesterday at 5:30 p.m. When Quaschnick called for help after trying to retrieve a small white bobbin" floating 25 feet off shore, Ralph O. Brady, 1027 Sixth street, Redlands, swam to his aid. Deputy Jack Kessner quoted Brady as saying that he took off his shoes and valuables and swam to help Quaschnick. "As I approached he began to fight and struggle; he even took a swing at me.

He began to sink, 1 grabbed his legs and he pulled me down with his hands. I had to kick myself loose. Quaschnick was already under water at this time," Kessner quoted Brady as saying. Brady began to dive for his victim and was joined by Harlan Heinbach, 30, his weekend guest on the fishing trip. They soon recovered the body in 20 feet of water, the lower 10 of which was a tangle of reeds.

A resuscitator squad from Sunnymead worked over Quaschnick but he was pronounced dead by Dr. Don L. Cox of Beaumont at 6:45 p.m. Sergeant H. L.

In Airport Dispute Decision to leave Ihe Cal Electric power line on its present route north of the Tri-City airport was today endorsed by the San Bernardino Board of Supervisors after a two-hour session in the Board room this morning. The unanimous decision was handed down by the board after a lengthy dispute between a 1 Electric and the Tri-City Airport which has carried over the past month.

Joe 'Brier had maintained that Ihe present location of the proposed power line route would in lerfere with landings and takeoffs on the north-south runway Because the proposed central route freewav would have clipped 300 feet off the south end of the strip. Mr. Brier planned to add 300 feet, plus an additional 500 feet lo Ihe north end as compensation and safety margin. This northern extension would have come in conflict with the Caleclric power lines, not allowing the necessary safety factor, was the argument pressed by Mr. Brier and the Airport Advisory committee.

Can't Move Line However, investigation by Cal Electric's engineers revealed the unfeasibility of moving the line farther north. Today, a four-point conclusion was worked out by representatives of Cal Electric, Tri-City Airport, Board of Trade, Industrial Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Hi Investigation reveals impossibility removing power line from original proposed site' Tower line elevation are now in conformity CAA codes and by lowering the proposed towers from 74 feet to 50 feet, an extension of 600 I eel may be added safely to the north-south strip; (3) The board goes on record to encourage preservation of the airport; and (4i the Civil A'eronau tics authority will be advised by the county of the conclusions of the investigation. Cal Electric agreed to airmark the towers as stipulated by CAA and military air demands. The towers will be marked bv red lights.
