Tickets to see 32 top ro. FOR BENEFIT Ranch Fans Swarm OS Near Post POST (Special) Thousands of roping fans and art lovers took the trajl to the OS Ranch Saturday for the first session of the annual roping and art show to benefit West Texas Boys Ranch. Steer roping is on tap today. Friday's preview art show put 54,000 commission in WTBR coffers and sales from'color filled magazines about the show were about to clear another such sum.

Gate donations were rolling up fast. It was like riding drag behind a 'herd cattle, moving bumper to bumper the five miles of ranch road to the ranch house and the crowds were still coming in late afternoon. It was, too, like the old days when hacks, buggies and wagons headed for the OS come round-up time. Back then it was impromptu rodeo every morning and roping all day long with cbuckwagon food on the ground. Today it will be champion ropers against 700-pound steers in the prestige event of all-roping steer roping.

Some 2,000 pounds of barbecue ran out before the onslaught of fans. Forty gallons of beans gave out the first hour. Seven men had stayed up all night getting mesquite wood burned to proper coals before the beef went on in the wee hours. Another 2,000 pounds went on the grill for today's crowds. Up at the ranch house, visitors roamed through the house and around the closed-in porch surrounding it, looking at all phases of Western life 'before seeing it played out in the arena.

Bronzes, paintings, sketches, pen and inks, lithographs and all put forth cowboy life as fans were seeing it all around them. "There were 22 of the 30 artists exhibiting on hand to talk art and cowboy, with a bit of Indian thrown in. Two doubled at roping. Unique as the show was, it pers take on tough steers and to view outstanding bronzes and paintings by top artists will be a $3 minimum donation to West Texas Boys Ranch. A percentage of art sales also goes to the WTBR.

Festivities kick off at 1 p.m. dedication of a historical marker recalling the picnic on the OS at which C. W. Post outlined his plans for a land colony and a county seat for the as-yet-unorganized Garza County. Dr.

W. C. Holden of Lubbock will be speaker. Sunday picnickers will eat ranch barbecue in the same hit the spot with all. "If these people don't like your work, you're in trouble," one artist said.

"This is where the art lives. This is our toughest audience." "It dies something to your heart," a ranch woman said as she walked the rooms. "It gives you a real feeling of being back in it." Down at the roping arena crowds sat on fences, trucks and hay bales, then milled around as they chose. Hay bales came in for a good workout. They were crying towels as a roper -sat and told about his loop that missed and the barrel racer mourned the horse that shied at a barrel and cost her precious seconds.

Steer roping, the cowboy's first event that resulted in rodeo, is seen today mostly in similar special events as ii takes bigger stock and more space than the average arena Special roping jackpots, about 15 a year around the country attract big crowds and outstanding ropers. "Horse Is Biggest Factor" It takes a better horse, a cooler head, a longer pigging string and a lot of space for maneuvering.

Also, according to Jim Prath- ef who runs the OS and is hosting the event as a WTBR wa- gon boss, it takes a cooler head and a lot of thinking. "The horse is the bigger factor in winning," he said. "You rope it and he throws it and then you jump off and tie it while he holds it. It's the cool- riess of your head that counts, too." A top roper loses most by "drawing bad." There are some steers that don't let a cowboy win. Association Cowboys Due A lot of Rodeo Cowboy Association champions will be on hand like Toots Mansfield of Big Spring, Troy Fort of Lovington, N.M., Olln Young of Peralta, N.M., Don McLaughlin of Fort Collins, Walter Arnold of Silverton, Jim Bob Altizer of Del Rio, Sonny Davis of Kenna, N.M., and Clark McEntire of Kiowa, Okla.

Prather, who will join in the competition, "got into the rop- arena a little late." A Muleshoe farmboy, he didn't start roping until the family moved to an Oklahoma ranch then he was He was 24 before he roped in a rodeo though he rode bulls and bareback' broncs before that. His brother, Tim, started roping at 14 and their younger brother, Rex, was "roping everything" when he was nine. All three are RCA members. Jim, the oldest, "rodeo-ed amateur" a few years before he joined the professional ranks. All Have Buckles All three laugh at "mortgaging the hogs, even a goat" to rake up entry fees and road money.

All have winner's buc kles, some all-round cowboy winnings and fond memories ol days when they rodeo-ed more than they stayed home during the season. Jim was older when he started and the miles were harder. He doesn't go much now except to special ropings. Tim began younger and is still making a few now and then. Rex goes when he feels like competing.

"You never lose it you always want to go but it gets easier to stay home than go It's like with any athlete, there comes a time spending more when than you you are making and it's time to quit." None of the Prathers admit it's time to quit yet. There are always steer ropings "where you can go older and longer." And, there's plenty of roping round the ranch for Jim and Rex and at Snyder for Tim. There are times on the road to recall, too. Once the open door of a pickup backing knocked down a service station pump and set the station on fire. And, there was the short cut that found them unable to turn around "with that long-shot trailer full of horses and all brakes on the and truck going downhill.

LOOKING THEM like a page out of history, the Prather front, Jim, Rex and a bunch of steers for today's roping before the historic OS ranchhouse near Post. A marker to a nearby event will be dedicated at the house today.

Then, there was the time of times in Idaho when Prathcr needed a dime more than he needed the $100 bill in "hide-away money" he could not get changed. Similar tales will be recalled by all when ropers get together today at the OS. 14 Palestinians Refuse To Eat For 'Witch Hunt' BONN (UP1) Fourteen Palestinian students began a lunger strike in the Arab League Mission Saturday to; protest what they called a 'witch hunt" by German police to rid the country of Arabs.

Three-year-old Timothy Ortega, asleep in the back seat, was "critically" injured in that accident and Ortega was pinned in the car, which had come to rest in the center of the highway.
