RAY PEASE IS
NAMED ‘MR. HAY’
Zahradnicek-Jonas Hailed
World’s Champion Hay
Cablers
ATKINSON—Culmination of
the thrilling 1949 Hay Days
celebration was climaxed here
Thursday, August 18, with the
world’s champion hay cabling
contest and the identification
of Mr. Hay.
World’s1 champion in the hay
cabling event were Walter Za
hradnicek and Robert Jonas
Another closing day event
of the two-day celebration
was the identification of Ray
Pease as Mr. Hay. Mr. Peases”
wife, Blanche Spann Pease, is
the author of the The Fron
tier Woman.
The highly-contested hay
cabling contest had an un
scheduled thrill when a trac
tor upset. Charles Tobias, the
driver, was not on the ma
chine when it overturned and
he escaped injury.
Four two-man teams com
peted for the hay cabling title
that left the starting point
with hay stacks loaded on un
derslungs carriers. The teams
proceeded to the points mark
ed with stakes, unloaded the
stacks with cables, reloaded
and returned to the initial
starting point.
Stacks weighing nine tons,
slightly over the normal
weight, were the cause of some
troubles to the participants.
The winners, were handi
capped when their cable that
was thrown around the stack,
cut under the hay and had to
be pulled out and passed a
round the stack again.
The annual hay festivities
was, inaugurated Wednesday
August 17, with the grand
parade at which “The Ship of
; State” and "Peace” floats were
co-winners, while "Uncle Sam
Holding the World” took sec
ond place with the "Horn of
; Plenty” taking third place
honors.
It was erroneously reported
in The Frontier last week that
“Uncle Sam” had tied for
j first place.
Other activities the first day
were the afternoon presenta
I lion of the George Hitchcock’s
as the 1949 Holt county hon
or family and the baseball
Miss Belh Sloan . . . 1949
hay queen.—O'Neill Photo Co.
game played between t h e j
"spiked” teams of the Atkin
son Towners and the O’Neill
Rockets. The Towners eked
out a 5-1 celebration victory.
Evening activities featured
the coronation pageant of
Hay King Alex Frickel and
Hay Queen Belh Sloan. More '
than 300 persons participat
ed in the ceremony of the
hay days royalty climaxed
by a hugh display of fire
works.
An interesting antedote of
the grand parade floats was
the re-entry of the winning
floats in the Thursday 4-H par
ade. The "Peace” float, spon
sored by the Jarvis Oil Co.,
consisted of an automobile
that had been sprayed with
"whiting” and imitation doves
placed around the car that
j were held on by scotch tape.
Following the grand parade
Wednesday, August 17, the au
to was put on the wash rack.
While the white spray was
being washed off, the* com
pany was told the float had
to appear in the 4-H parade
the next day. The float had to
be practically reconstructed
for its re-entry.
The final show on the hay
days agenda was the WNAX
Missouri Valley barn dance
troupe. The show was origin
ally scheduled on the high
school football field but was
■ forced inside because of threat
j ening weather.
