I won 13 saddles, barrel racing. "I've always lived on a ranch. Maybe if I had lived in the city, my thinking would be different. "BUT I DON'T find a lot of disagreement with young people. Going back to the days when I was young I wore fringe on my jacket and headbands, and I'm not going to say I wouldn't have tried pot if I had known about it; I tried everything else.

"I know I wouldn't have touched hard dope. I was athlete, I didn't even smoke when I was roping. "The only thing I don't understand about young people is staying dirty. I don't say that because I'm the least i interested in i al climbing. Most women live in no time and no use for gossip.

"I think like a man, not like a woman. And I've never had any problems projecting myself i rodeo and in politics. The only thing I agree with about Women's Lib is getting the same pay for the same work. "MY PARENTS taught us to work, and to have some business sense. All my rodeo winnings went into a checking account.

"I don't believe people should get something for nothing. I work for a living, anyone who's able bodied should work for a living.

Several years later, when I won the Ail-Around title, they put my picture in the Texas Tech yearbook as a former student. Things sure changed. ''I would have graduated if I had majored in what I was interested in history. "AFTER I LEFT Texas Tech, I was under contract with five other girls to give barrel racing exhibitions in Madison Square Garden. "In 1945, I was the only girl to ever win the cutting horse contest at the Fort Worth Stock Show.

I guess. I'm prouder of that than anything." "I broke my ankle roping, and just about all my ribs. I broke my hand in nine places riding a bull inAmarillo, and the next week I competed in a Roundup Of the Stars Continued from Page 18 state of Arizona, Rex is a true cowboy.

Fountain is the first jazz artist ever booked to headline the State Fair rodeo since the coliseum was built, and jazz buffs are hopeful that the engagement will start a new trend. A top-rated clarinetist, Fountain is a New Orleans native who knows jazz music and disperses it. Starting as a teenager, he played with many bands but didn't become well known until he was featured with Lawrence Welk on the latter's TV show from 1957 to 1959. He owns and operates his own nightclub in New Orleans and occasionally appears on network TV shows and in person at fairs and concerts. He has turned out some 43 albums to date.
