 ‘P'Kxfc ecy LYNWOOD BARRINGER is leading a pink pig bv a ribbon. Roars and cheers come up as Candido Tellez does his act. He has his head in the lion’s mouth. Also Beth Barlow is found here. Her act consists of hanging from the trapeze bv her heels and later doing cartwheels on a running horse. The All American Football Game is played while he is there. Among the players are 300 pound Paul Francom and 98 pound Terrv Tipton. Paul hands the ball to Terry and then passes “him” over the goal post. After all this excite- ment he is a bit tired so he goes back to the hotel and lies down to read the paper. On the front page he sees the pictures of the famous employee of a company. Jesus Renteria has the job of testing the 3000 matresses that are turned out even- day. This is the hardest work [esus has ever done. From St. Louis, Elwood takes a taxi back to his mansion along the Gila River. He arrives just in time for the great Greenlee County Fair. Now it lasts a week because that is how long it takes to see everything. As he goes through, he notices that most of the ribbons have gone to Ronald and Donald Wilson who are doing very well on their twin farms. In the poultry building, chicken raiser Dan Ells- worth has taken most of the prizes. When he goes to the horse races, he sees a bright shirt ’way out in front that turns out to be Bud Cox, who rides nothing but the best horses and always wins. Now that Elwood has achieved his ambition, he settles down to enjoy the peaceful side of life.
