EVER But to hear it from Dale Evans that queen of all cowgirls who rode off on her silver saddle into the sunset hundreds of times with Roy Rogers in their matching gold studded shirts and black shiny boots those are tough oats to swallow But its true Today Dale Evans Rogers cowgirl of the 405 and 505 never rides horses or pitches hay or rambles through the tumblewecd Instead Evans is short and inatronly an inveterate She has It grandchildren two greatgrandchildren an expan sivc adobe ranch in Apple alleu alil and husband Roy who owns chain of restaurants amt bowls tive timesaweek And since she displayed such charming candor in an in tcrview tIm 64 and proud of it why not ask her But Dale did you EVER ride What about all those 37 films Those sagebrush chases and rodeo reels As she recalls it back in 1943 some studio bigshot said to her Youre from Texas arent you Then you undoubtedly ride horse all right hadnt been on horse sin ce was child but had no in tention of saying so liked movies and wanted to stay in them And if riding horse was part of thejob well Id ride kept about two jumps ahead of the script in my riding lessons but the horse kept tWo jumps ahead of me and it was all could do to limp through the final scenes Those days were fun she says but the enriching time is now Today shes trying to inspire folks to find religion to vote and to work and to preserve the American way of life She talks in the style of preacher but its with more life more heart more of the people and less oratory than celebrities jamming the evangelistic circuit She speaks of such basic human problems that anyone could understand them and find something to identify with The problems of child abuse of malnutrition of broken or noncommunicat ing fam ilies She speaks of our preoc cupation with upgrading life styles and luxuries Of the realization that our energy is finite and that we cannot consume ad infinitum forever and ever and ever Thats Evans mission today traveling from city to city ap pearing at church crusades meetings and rallies per forming for the Lord Were all mainly seeking direction Ive found mine She reminds us like those at her rallies that prayer cuts across religious boun daries That talk of love and peace and patriotism keeps one together You know our deep religious feelings Roys and mine werent acceptable in show business years back Many in the profession looked down on us as corny We were criticized for being flag wavers and accused of preaching Yet we continued to believe Roy and Dale have been married 29 vears Evans at tributes their
