NE THE TENNESSEAN, Saturday, Sept. 9, 1972 Rodeo Clown Funny Loser Who Also Wins Lecile Harris is one of the best fighters in his business, but he still loses everytime he steps into the ring. The Collierville, Tenn. native, a clown with the Longhorn Championship Rodeo, spends his working hours protecting, that cowboys just from threw the them off their backs. "WHEN THE bull throws the cowboy or the horn blows and the cowboy gets off the bull, I have to 'fight' the bull to keep him from getting to the cowboy," Harris said.

"The battle between the cowand the bull and later between me and a the bull is a battle of professional athletes, but there's no way I can Harris will appear in the rodeo, which begins tonight at 8 in Municipal Auditorium. There will also be a performance tomorrow night at 8 and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The rodeo is a Loretta Lynn Rodeo Production in cooperation with the Nashville Civitan Club. He explained that he fights the by making it charge him instead of the cowboy and continues to fight the bull until the cowboy reaches safety. "WHEN THE bull charges me, I either get out of the way or get knocked down," Harris said.

"When I lose, I lose hide, but when the bull loses, he only loses pride and comes back for more." Once the battle starts, it continues until the bull gets the clown or the clown scurries to safety. "Either way, the bull Harris explained. "'He either gets me or chases me out of the ring." AS RODEO-goers who watch Harris, in action at the Municipal Auditorium this weekend will quickly find out, a clown's job isn't such serious business all the time. "I clown around a lot, too," he said. "But my main job is still to protect the cowboy." Harris clowns about as well as he fights.

In fact, he clowns SO well that he has been selected to appear as a regular on the Hee- Haw television production this season. The 36-year-old rodeo veteran said he got his start in the business at a Sunday afternoon rodeo in Collierville. "WE DIDN'T have a professional clown and I was pretty good at getting away from the bulls, so I was kind of drafted to be the clown," he said. "Then, one week, we went to a rodeo in Sardis, and their professional clown failed to show up. My buddies volunteered me for the job." Harris painted his face with black and white shoe polish and red lipstick and took his first professional job as a clown.

"The people at the rodeo thought I was funny," he said. "I wasn't trying to be funny but I must have looked funny to them." AFTER 20 years of bullfighting, Harris says he isn't even thinking of retirement. "I've enjoyed it immensely getting to travel and make friends all over the world," he said. "I wouldn't dream of leaving it." Common Market on Inflation BRUSSELS (UPI) The European Common Market look its first steps yesterday to control an inflation now galloping upward in member nations at about year. The market's Executive Commission met for the first time since the summer break to consider a report urging the six member nations to give priority to the fight against inflation in their 1973 budgets.

Informed sources said the report suggested such tools as curbs on food price increases, tighter credit, freer competition and fewer restrictions on imports. S. Korea Expells Japan Newsman SEOUL (AP) For the first time in its 24-year history, the South Korean government closed down the bureau of a foreign newspaper yesterday and ordered the correspondent expelled by Monday.

Bids on: a $40,000 issue of public improvement bonds by the City of Cowan will be opened at 1 p.m. Monday at the city hall here. Cowan is issuing the bonds to finance improvements to its municipal water and sewer systems, as well as to retire some other obligations. IN JULY, the Cowan Board of Mayor and Councilmen awarded a $13,888.89 contract for the extension of water and sewerage lines. More work, on a unit basis, has been added to the original contract and it is expected to bring the total cost to between $18,000 and $20,000, Mayor Paul Smith said.

Of the proposed bond issue, $4000 is marked to pay for a 40-acre site purchased earlier this year that will be developed for joint use as a recreation area and as an industrial park. SMITH SAID that a fiveyear program of draining and planning for the property will be carried out. An additional $2,158 from the bond issue will be used to pay for a new police car recently acquired, and an additional sum is needed to retire indebtedness on a new trash truck, the mayor said.
