REPUBLIC REPUBLIC MAiL BULLDOG U.S. To Aid Jordan Army By Sending Military Team Good Morning! THE ONLY way you can kill a rodeo cowboy, it's said, is to cut off his head and bury it where he can't find it. They're supposed to be dumb and 1 Sunday, October 12, 1958 (Section 2) Page The Arizona Republic By DON DEDERA has appeared in dozens of Arizona town and sheriff, posse rodeos.

Son Clyde is a rider whose experience includes rodeos on three of the Hawaiian Islands during a hitch with the navy. Jim Palmer has competed in most Arizona rodeos and a few in Texas. He got his start while working out his summer vacations on a ranch north of Winslow. BASIL W. COX participated in some of the last big roundups and drives of the Pleasant Valley country, cutting his teeth and hide on the infamous rimrock mossyhorns.

Thomas, too, was "raised in the school of cowboying that believed that if any job couldn't be done on horseback, it wasn't worth doing." He made his living breaking horses in the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming for a decade, and later hired out as range detective and hunting guide. When he came to Arizona on a stock buying trip in 1954, he stayed on as wrangler at a Wickenburg dude ranch and hand for the Cowden Livestock Co. "I was riding from sunup to sundown up to the day before I came to work for AiResearch," said Thomas. "Now I'm punching a time clock instead of cows, and I doubt if they eat beef on the moon.

He figured he might round up a dozen experienced men, and fill in with reckless amateurs. "I couldn't believe it myself," said Thomas. "Forty-five or 50 men all of them with professional rodeo experience entered the first rodeo last year." The same bunch of riders, ropers, and rasslers are back to compete again in the rodeo next Sunday at the state fairground.

Proceeds will go to Gompers Clinic. BUCK SOSSAMAN is one of the entrants. He competed in Rodeo Cowboys Association-approved shows in southern Colorado and Arizona from 1952 to 1956. He owns a small ranch in the Four Corners section of Colorado. Hank Dunlap is a native of Phoenix who was reared on farm and ranch.

"And the No. 1 governmental obstacle to improving the climate for small business Is the school district property tax load that is staggering both the homeowner-employe and the small business man.

Lee Philips, who played a prominent role opposite Lana Turner in "Peyton Place," is being given the heave-ho by 20th Century-Fox on Oct. 15. But there's a silver lining: Columbia Pictures will put him on salary the very next day. Talent scouts are closing in on Eric Knight, a baritone who manages to stand out, and draw swooning sighs from the female members of the audience, although he's just a member of the chorus in "The Student Prince" at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, N.J.

He once played in the same company as Andy Griffith in "The Lost Colony," in North Carolina.

"I spent most of my time going around visiting farmers trying to get them to keep the tractors we had sold them, and to pay us as they could," Paul says.

They had to close a branch store at Eloy, and Ernie and Paul started diversifying their business by taking on bottled gas and appliances. But the emptied gas bottles had to be shipped all the way to California to be refilled, making this product very expensive. The brothers finally managed to scrape together enough capital to put in their own bulk Butane plant, resulting in cutting the price to their customers more than half. WHILE ATTENDING Stan- ford, Paul and his high school sweetheart, Miss Lorenzo Brown, then a student at the University of Arizona, were married. The marriage produced one son, Tom.

The marriage ended in divorce, with a pre-arranged settlement. Later, Paul married Elma Addington, a Valley native, and he was given custody of Tom, now 27, a Phoenix real estate man, and father of two small daughters. Other Fannin children are Bob, 22, married and the father of a son and daughter, who is stationed at Scott Air Force Base, and is preparing to leave for two years' overseas duty in Japan; Bill, a freshman at the University of Arizona; and Linda, a sophomore at Scottsdale on Oct. 14."

"Rashamon," the Broadway-bound play based on a prize-winning film, is budgeted at $150,000, a whopping sum for a non-musical show. You can bank on the authenticity of those "hip" (and slightly risque) gestures used by Gary Crosby in "Mardi Gras." Gary takes full credit for their inclusion, says the director had nothing to do with them. Lena Home is mulling an offer to do "Jamaica" in Paris, where the cats probably would dig it in the biggest way.

The firm now has become Fannin Brothers Industrial Development Enterprisers. Fannin has served on virtually every civic project in Phoenix and is a past chairman of the industrial development committee of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, of which he has been a member since its inception.

THE DEDICATED seriousness of the slender, bushy-b rowed, hometown business man was reminiscent of another Arizona gubernatorial candidate of 26 years ago Dr. B. B. Moeur, who quit delivering babies in Tempe to win the governorship as a darkhorse candidate in 1932.

Fannin admits wryly that he has been through thgmall business mill, and knows the problems, but he thinks that in the Arizona Development Board, where every county of the state is represented, there is a place to start selling Arizona once the climate for small business is livable from the standpoint of competition. "I think I know the problems of our state better, and I think I am better able to sell Arizona. That's why I am running for governor. "If we do not make the jobs and the opportunities here for our children, they will have to leave." FANNIN, although completely aware of the migration of people to Arizona, declared that it is the children of Arizona who are the future of the state. "Last year our population increased 50,000.

We had 31,000 births and only 8,000 deaths," Fannin declared, "so just about half of that growth was our children." Fannin is not a noise maker. His name has never made sensational headlines. He was brought to Arizona 10 months after his birth in Ashland, Jan. 29, 1907, when his father's health failed. THE FAMILY bought a ranch at Lateral 15 and Maricopa Rd.

(now Thomas), later purchased what is now the old family home at 45 W. Moreland, with some 5 acres that served as pasture for milk cows along the south side of Moreland. Shortly afterward, a business was acquired, the E.T. Collings Vehicle and Harness Co. The vehicle part had to do with wagons and buggies.

The Fannin children grew up working in the store and on the ranch. Paul attended Fillmore, Mc-Kinley, and Monroe schools, then took his final year of elementary school at Kenilworth the first year that school was opened.

THE PUBLIC subsidizes junk of this kind in the mails. Because the envelope isn't sealed it can be sent from anywhere in the United States for 2 cents.

And it costs just as much to handle and deliver as legitimate, desirable mail. What's the postal people's attitude toward junk I asked Postmaster W. C. Lefebvre. "It's certainly one of the most unpopular things I know of," he said, in all seriousness.

"We get a lot of complaints but there's nothing we can do about it. Congress sets the rates for the various classes of mail and all we can do is accept and deliver it." But stand ready for the crusade, NLFSEJM members! The clarion call to action has been sounded. Your grand ruler will lead you on to victory over junk mail.

But then, how to achieve our goal is something we can work out later when the NLFSEJM really gets going. Who ever heard of any new movement figuring out how to reach its goal in advance, any way? Now exactly, what is the problem the NLFSEJM is out to attack?
