Cade s County : Unique Show
It Doesn't Knock Ruralism
‘I tPa.l High School and received |■
his B. A. degree in art and so- j
riology in 1970 from Texas Lu- i
theran College.. Seguin. His wife
s the former Grace H. Haiver-
sen.
Television shows generally rehash
the same old stuff from one year to the
next but this season there is one that is
a bit refreshing, not because of its plot
but because of the way it’s presented.
Have you seen CADE S COUNTY,
starring Glen Ford as the still two-fisted
Sheriff in the modern day west?
Ford portrays Sheriff Sam Cade who
still wears Levis and a beat up.cowboy
hat, and drives a jeep in a small town in
the west. .
The stories about Cade’s County are
not any better or worse than those on
similar western shows of a vea" or so ago,
but what struck us was the fact that
while this shows retains its colorful as-
pects of the new old west, it incorporates
sophisticated aspects of the new west.
Thsi is a rather unique apnroach for
Hollywood scrint writers, for it is actually
“realistic” for a change.
For some time this writer has had
a kingsize chiD on his shoulder concern-
ing the self-styled sophisticates in the big
cities, who seem to consider that every-
thing URBAN is wonderful and every-
thing NON-URBAN (or RURAL) is from
cornball hicksville.
This haopens all the time, and we
don’t onlv mean Johnny Carson who, in
his new found New Yorkishness, can re-
fer to havseed stuff as bein« “from Kan-
sas City.” This is rather ridiculous since
Kansas City is one of the largest metropo-
litan cities in the entire country.
But it isn’t the New Yorker only who
slights other places with his references.
Often native sons and daughters who
have moved to the cities do their home-
towns an injustice by insisting upon
thinking of them as quaint little villages
which never change, and which will al-
ways be at least one generation behind
the times. Some of these first generation
city dwellers actually enjoy visiting their
old home towns so they can wear fine
clothes and brag about how successful
they are in the cities.
We have no bone to pick with any-
one who lives in the big city. Some live
there because they actually* like to (be-
lieve it or not and that is certainly their
right), others — most others, that is —
live there because that happens to be
where their jobs are and they can make
a better living there. Many of these would
move to more desirable environments if
they could make a living somewhere else.
What we’re getting at is that like
in Cade’s County, Clifton isn’t what it
was 20 or even 10 years ago. Real estate
remains pretty mticir the same, and a
few larger buildings don’t change very
often, but just about everything else is
in a constant state of change, on the
farm, in the small towns, as well as in
the city.
Cade may still wear his battered hat
and drive his dented jeep, but his de-
puties drive modern squad cars, and his
office staff has modern communications
equipment and even access to computers.
local businesses still use some of
the old fashioned methods (methods that
still work welP hut they also use modern
techniques as is done in the big cities.
Some city friends of ours have even
hinted that most who still live down on
the farm (which includes dwelling in
small towns) are only there because they
can’t get away. This is silly. It is just as
easy for a Cliftonian to drive or fly to
Dallas as it is for a Dallasite to travel to
Clifton. It takes us a little longer to get
to a Cowboy football game or to the
opera than it does them, but conversely
it takes them longer to get to Lake Whit-
ney or to their deer lease in Bosque
County, than it does us.
Country bumpkins are hardly hicks
nowadays, largely because of modern
communications: newspapers. TV, radios,
telephones, weekly news and fashion
magazines keeps them abreast of chang-
ing times and world affairs, just as rapid-
ly as city dwellers become aware of these
developments.
Like Cade, who doesn’t wear his
jeans and jeep because he doesn’t know
any better, but rather because he prefers
them, most Bosque Countians live here
because we prefer to, and many of us
have lived other places too.
No. We don’t have many freeways,
parking buildings, zoos, taverns, operas,
pro football teams, skyscrapers, and
traffic jams. We don’t even have a very
big variety of movie houses and restau-
rants, but then you can’t eat at hut one
restaurant at a time or go to but one
movie an evening.
What we do have more of is fresh
air, lack of all types of pollution, un-
crowded woods (except during deer sea-
son), lakes, places to hunt, fish, walk, run,
bike, boat, water ski, golf, ride horses,
watch birds, have friends, raise children,
and most have a place — be it ever so
humble — to call their own.
What it all boils down to is this:
To each his own, but don't knock the
ohter guy’s ideas, till you’ve tried them.
