the Scout and Explorer sections.
The theme covered was Treks

sion centered around a trip to

plied some slides that were
made in southern Mexico in the
wet Tropics in both Cloud and
Rain forests.
Scouters were represented
from Hallettsville, Yoakum,
Shiner, Schulenburg, and La-
Grange. The Hallettsville Units
should certainly be congratulat-
ed on the excellent program and
the fine job that they are doing
with the boys in that communi-

Prison Rodeo On
’Wide, Wide World'
Huntsville, Oct. 24.—(SP)—
Rodeo fans who attend the final
performance of the 25th annual
Texas Prison Rodeo here Sun-
day, October 28 will become a
part of NBC’s famous “Wide
Vide World” television pro-
gram as four cameras telecast
a good portion of the fast-
moving two-hour show for an
astimated TV audience of 38
million in the United States and
Canada.
H. H. Coffield of Rockdale,
chairman of the Texas Prison
Board, announced that ar-
rangements have been com-
pleted with NBC to televise the
“Biggest Show of its Kind in
the World” direct from the pri-
son’s million-dollar stadium to
acquaint the world with the
prison’s accelerated and un-
usual rehabilitation program.
Officials of National Broad-
casting Company were attract-
ed to the prison rodeo because
of the nation-wide publicity
this annual event has received
over a 25-year period. After
visiting Huntsville and check-
ing the rodeo and the operation
of the prison’s rehabilitation
program, they decided it was
worthy of an important spot on
Dave Garrow ay’s “Wide Wide
World.”

Throughout the telecast,
cameras will show prison scenes
to play up the importance of
the rehabilitation program
made possible from profits of
the annual prison rodeo.
Although all Texas television
stations affiliated with NBC
will carry the program, Mr.
Coffield urged fans to attend
the show to “Become a part of
this $90,000 extravaganze.”
Reserved seats may be ob-
tained by writing Prison Ro-
