Rose AT FIREMEN'S RODEO They're By JOAN FOSTER Globe-Democrat Staff Writer The show must go on, you know," Rex Rossi said and then added, but I sometimes wonder why." You can see his point. Three weeks ago he broke a bunch of ribs, but went back to work as the World's Champion trick rider and roper the next day without missing a single performance. "But the pain was something, I'll tell you," he said with a grin. His cute little wife, Wanda, who is his partner in the act in the Fireman's Championship Rodeo, which opens tonight and runs through Sunday at the Arena, smiled and said, "And you should have seen his face when he came off that first night." Broken bones are just part of the job, the way Rex and Wanda look at it. It's a funny thing with stunt work like that, but the better the.

performers are, the easier it looks; and we soft ones with 9-to5 jobs can forget how dangerous it is. And it is. Rex Rossi can't even estimate the number of bones he's broken during his years world champion trick riders TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1958 Both like rodeos far more than picture work. "It's unrewarding and unpleasant," Rex said. "You get up when it's dark and go out on a cold, dreary location it may look good on screen but it isn't then and spend a good, long time figuring and planning the stunt with the camera man.

WAY TO EARN LIVING "Then you risk your neck, and never get any credit. People see you on screen but think it's the star. You wouldn't mind it if the star appreciated it but a lot of them get so they believe the stuff the publicity department writes about them and forget that if it weren't for tht stunt man they'd be out of business. You know yourself that a lot of those guys depend on the action to carry them, but they couldn't do one of those stunts themselves. It's a dismal life." Wanda added, "And a lot of times you'll work on a picture that you don't even know the name of or what it's all about.

You just come in and do your part ankthat's it. By the time it's showilthe name may have been changIct five or six times, not it." THE FAMILYACOUNCIL Independent Iris has buddies, but no beau LOUIS S.Miriam should teach Iris to act like a lady. MIRIAM S.She's a hopeless case. LOUIS S.My wife and I are having a big controversy about my 25-year-old sister, who recently came to stay with us. Iris is a lively, attractive girl, but she's much too independent for her own good.

My parents were worried about her not getting married so they sent her to stay with us because we live in a large city where there is lots of social activity. Iris immediately got herself Involved in a lot of courses and community activities, but she always comes and goes alone. She bought herself a motor-scooter and races about the place. Naturally, men aren't going to ask her out when she seems to get along so well by herself. I have asked my wife to try to teach her to act like a lady, but my wife says she's a hopeless case.

13 MIRIAM think Louis and the family ought to resign themselves to the fact that Iris will never marry. The things I tell her go in one ear and out the other. Once, when I suggested that she let a man open a door for her, she looked at me as though I were crazy and said: "Why? I can do It myself." Iris has plenty of men friends, but they are buddy-buddy with her. She gets into political discussions with them and argues like a man. She won't let a man win unless he presents the facts to prove he is right.

I have tried to talk heart-to-heart to Iris, explaining that she'll never land man if she doesn't learn to be a woman. She said she'd like to marry and have a family, but she can't make a fool out of herself by acting the way I tell her. when horses have fallen on him and he's fallen from horses. Wanda claims she's never been hurt. "Oh, well, once a horse did slam me against a starting gate and broke my foot, and another time a horse threw his head back and the buckle on check rein broke my nose, but that's all." Sure.

That's all. The Rossis like the life. Wanda learned everything she knows about trick riding and roping from Rex, and Rex learned it from Tom Mix. TRAINED BY TOM MIX Rex was the oldest of five children in a family of five generations of show people, working circuses and rodeos. He began riding and roping at the advanced age of 4.

When he was about 12, Tom Mix, who had his circus and wild west show then, took an interest in the talented boy. CHILD CARE so you may even see Rex has mide a Western, too, like everyone's doing these days, but hasn't found a buyer for it. Unless it's sold, they want to stay away from picture work and stick with rodeos. For fun they fly around visiting people all over the country, and hope to open a trailer park soon for added revenue. They travel in a house trailer and work out to stay fit.

Rex has to be prepared at all times to defend his Championship, a title he's held for 10 years and which is equal to an Academy Award to him. Wanda has to keep in shape to hold her title as West Coast Champion of girl jockies. Both of them have to stay strong and healthy so the bones will knit. After all, "You have to earn a living," even if it's with broken bones. WHY MUST THE SHOW GO ON? Rex and Wcmda Rossi, trick riders and ropers, don't exactly know why either, but broken bones don't stop them because "it must." -r-Globe-Democrcrt Photo Today's Chuckle Character: To have the same ailment the other person is describing1 and not to mention it.

THE COUNCIL: We get a rather strong impression that Iris is the kindaof girl who must be left to work out her problems by herself. She appears to be clean-minded as well as strong-minded and will probably find a way of getting what she wants without The Family Council con-compromising her personality. sists of a judge, a psychiaThis girl apparently does not trist, three clergymen, a avoid men and says frankly that newspaper editor, a women's she'd like to marry and have a editor and two writers.

From Miriam's statement, we gather that Iris is not the kind of girl who fights with men for the fun of it and who must win every argument. If she Is willing to let the man win after proving his argument, we can't see where she is committing any breach of behavior.

As for the doors and motor-scooter, we'll admit that these Items won't be helpful in getting Iris married off to the average Joe. But she's not an average Jane by any means. As long as Iris seems happy and enjoys her many activities with friends, we'd recommend a hands-off policy. And if. she should suddenly get morose, we'd say hands-off anyway.

Iris will probably find her own way out of the doldrums. id In ly 18 if 11 1 tt il I 1 iv Is-, A-, ss4 el A 'i A Itti iwitibtlihateoait.

When Mix died Rossi was in his teens. He moved in with Hoot Gibson and worked In movies. Then he became a stunt man and double for cowboy heroes Bob Steele, Ken Maynard, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. While he was in Hollywood, he mosied down to the old corral at a riding school and saw a sweet little filly perched on the fence railing. As he tied his new 1946 maroon convertible up to the post he took a good look.

(A) We'd like to begin this with a few words about throwing. The throwing of an infant and even up to the age of around 2 yearsis almost always purely experimental, not aggressive. He throws an object and watches to see what happens. Some objects bounce, some clang, some smash, and so on. And it's fun, just throwing.

The aggressive throwing of a 3-year-old (or older) is quite different When he does this he is trying to hurt the other fellow. Some children show aggressiveness by biting, some by scratching, some by knocking atiother child down, and others by throw. ing objects at other children.
