The top award, a $50 prize donat*
ed by the rodeo committee, went to
Gene and Bobby Derringer, riding in
a small cart drawn by a lively team
of prancing goats. The slogan on
the cart was “Our ‘kids’ need a
swimming pool.”
Tie For Awards
There was a two way tie for the
second prize of $25, donated by the
Citizen’s National bank. Hen
Brothers, Art Swank and the Com
munity Market with an old-fashion
ed prairie schooner, bull calf tied on
behind and armed riders accompany
ing the vehicle, split the award with
a colorful scale model swimming pool
float filled with kiddies entered by
The Triplett Electrical Instrument
Co.
Tied for third prize of $15 donated
by Basinger’s Furniture store was
the Emmert Plumbing and Heating
Co. entry consisting of an old-time
two-seat surrey pulled by Paul Em
mert, and in which Mrs. Emmert
and five children rode. The other
third place winner was Bill Edwards
as a dandy of the Nineties riding
with all the grace of a stage per
former an ancient high-wheeled
bicycle, cutting fancy figures and
circles of eight as he pedalled down
the street.
Fourth prize, $10 from the Ruff
store, went to three winners: the
American Legion In Memorium float
and parade entries of a similar
theme entered by Marshall and Bixel
Home Appliances and Moyer Refrig
eration and Heating. Both the latter
floats depicted the contrast between
modern, home appliance conveniences
with the drudgery of yesteryear.
Three For Fifth

$5 donated by The Lape Co., was a
pony built of burlap around a walk
ing boy entered by Geiger and Diller
Co. a six-pony hitch and wagon

Elsewhere in the parade were
gaily costumed horsemen, plodding

and swimming pool floats, and many
other attractions.
’WAY BACK WHEN
by Jeanne
RADIO STAR RAN A CONCESSION
E* ORTUNE’S favorites do not al
ways bear marks to distinguish
them from her failures. Bob Burns,
who with his “bazooka” has be
come nationally known for his radio
broadcasts and motion picture
work, for many years looked like a
failure. He was born in Van Buren,
Ark., in 1896, and was always fond
of music. His first “bazooka” was
a horn made from a piece of pipe
welded to a funnel, because he had
nothing else to play. After two
years in college, he joined some
friends in Oklahoma raising pea
nuts. Bob gave that up to go back
to Van Buren where he joined a
minstrel troupe at three dollars a
week. He tried to get a theatrical
job in New Orleans, next he tried
New York, with no luck, and went
to Little Rock, Ark. There, he failed
at trying to sell advertising on com
mission.
During the World war, Bob Burns
was in the marines, was a crack
rifle shot, and entertained the sgl
diers with his “bazooka.” After the
war, he started a concession on the
boardwalk at Atlantic City, running
a game of chance. He married a
girl who worked in another conces
sion and, .together, they started a
dance hall but it failed. Failure
after failure. And in the midst of
his troubles, his son was bom.
But then Bob Bums got a job in
vaudeville, and in a few short years
he was at the top of the entertain
ment world, with contracts for
stage, motion pictures, and radio.
His “bazooka” in which he had
such faith, but which seemed such
hopeless comedy to many people,
is with him today and nationally
known.
