The first annual Cowboy Christmas ball will be initiated
Saturday at the Brown County Youth Fair bams off the Brady
Highway. A new twist to youth fair activities, the dance is
scheduled from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Proceeds will be used to augment funds necessary to stage the
Brown County Youth Fair Previously the only project bringing
in money for the youth fair was the Brown County Rodeo.
Youth fair officials feel that with the extra funds brought in by
the dance, there will be more available money for youth fair ex-
penses.
Price of admission for the dance is $6 a couple; and $3 stag.
Music will be furnished by Jim Heap and the Melody Masters
Tickets are to be purchased at the door the night of the dance

Daley, urged Wright's election
largely for his leadership in
boosting funds for mass transit
in the nation's cities.
Although O'Neill declared
strict neutrality in the four-man
fight for Democratic leader,
congressmen close to him and
other candidates circulated
word that O’Neill could accept
anyone except Burton, his re-
puted rival for power.
Wright was chairman of the
task force that created House
Democrats' Jobs program in the
last Congress. After his election
as majority leader, Wright told
tils'party coDeagues they must
produce legislation “that will
lift this country out of the slough
of recession."
O'Neill told them, "It is our
responsibility to put the unem-
ployed back to work."
Wright also said he will strive
to restore the “pinnacle of
respect” he said the House
deserves. O'Neill reiterated to
reporters his plan to set up a
special committee to stiffen
or does it represent a small
proportion of high-income
families offsetting a large pro-
portion with smaller incomes?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Reps.
Thomas P O'Neill and Jim
Wright, the two new Democrat-
ic leaders of the House, say
their two goals are to get the
jobless back to work and clean
up the House's scandal-tar-
nished image.
House Democrats caucused
Monday and elected Wright of
Texas as majority leader by a
148 to 147 vote, upsetting the fa-
vorite, Californian Phillip Bur-
ton. Big-city mayors reportedly
backed Wright.
O’Neill of Massachusetts was
nominated speaker by the
Democrats by acclamation,
tantamount to his election when
Congress convenes Jan. 4.
New York City Mayor Abra-
ham D. Beame reportedly col-
lected votes for Wright in return
for Wright’s leadership role in
winning congressional support
of mass transit money and New
York City aid. Other mayors,
including Chicago’s Richard
House ethics in the wake of dis-
closures that some congress-
men have accepted cash and
gifts from persons with alleged
ties to the South Korean gov-
ernment
Burton, showing no outward
disappointment at his narrow
defeat, told reporters he thinks
O’Neill and Wright will make a
fine team and said he will try
now to be selected Democratic
whip, a post now held by John J.
McFall of California.
The whip is appointed by the
speaker, but a proposal before
the Democratic caucus later
this week would put the job up
for election.
