s WHO NEEDS MODERN technology to have fun? Karen Reid and Scotty Daily find plenty of entertainment in a nearby horse corral — only watch your step! » OF ALL THE ACTIVITIES a farm can offer, Kitty Cornelius, Vicki Patterson. Donna Putman, and Carol Murphree find flirting to be the most rewarding. Catching that special cowhand ' s eye makes all the effort worthwhile. Anyone who follows curt;ent styles might have seen it coming several years ago — the evolution of ' country ' as a serious style — in the acceptance of jeans as, not only a reasonable way to dress, but also a fashionable way to dress. Blue jeans, in earlier years worn only by cowboys, workmen, farmers, and miners have become the staple of American dress. Cowboy hats, cowboy boots, and other country attire have been all the rage across the country. In our area, though, these pieces of clothing were not so uncommon even before the country-western boom. Since much of this county ' s business has been in agri- culture or mining, residents have known the practicality of jeans and have been wearers of hats and boots for years. We are glad the rest of the country is enjoying their comfort, style, and ease. That is a part of the appeal of country — that laid-back, easy-go- ing living and dressing way of life. 6 Opening « INDIANSI LOOK TWICE.
