Use of flavored tobacco by teens is a crisis. Tobacco companies use flavors like cotton candy, watermelon ice and cool mint to hook kids like me. They seem harmless, but they are. Addiction to nicotine sets us up for a lifetime of health problems. Organ legislators can do something about it. Passing Senate Bill 702A will keep flavored tobacco away from kids. But there are just a few short weeks left for lawmakers to act. Take action to protect kids like me. @ flavorshookoreegoids.org paid for by the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids Action Fund.

[Roy Rogers]

Don't mind the folks, Porter. They've Seen you as a villain in so many pictures that they just can't keep from booing at you.

[Pat Friday]

Right em, Porter Fragon Porter Hall.

[Announcer]

Today, when congratulations are being offered all over the world to the millions who worked and fought for victory in Europe. Goodyear would also like to propose a toast. A toast of its own and to its own. A toast to the 24,783 of its men and women in the armed forces. It's well done. To those in Europe, it's good luck. To those in the Pacific. And here's a toast, too. To the hundred thousand Goodyear employees at home. Who, with their war work, have contributed and are continuing to contribute to final victory. To them, good work. And let's keep punching hard till the Japs get theirs.

[Roy Rogers]

It's the Far brothers. Furious Fiddle and Galloping Guitar and Cajun Stone.

[Pat Friday]

Sam, it's.

[Guest]

Oh, boy. Gee, Ray, I'm sorry I'm late. Have I missed much?

[Roy Rogers]

Well, hello there, Pat Friday. You have missed a couple of good songs. But you're in plenty of time for the story Porter hall and I are going to tell tonight.

[Guest]

Porter Hall? Do I know him? Are you my uncle? Every.

[Porter Hall]

Yes. Every Friday. I. I am now fabulously wealthy, and I intend to buy you the finest ranch in the West.

[Guest]

Oh, but. But I already have a ranch.

[Porter Hall]

Oh, you have? As if I didn't know. But you deserve a much bigger one. Now, if you would just give me that piece of paper you're holding. Which I assume to be the deed to your present property.

[Guest]

Here you are, sir.

[Porter Hall]

Aha, my proud beauty. Now I have you in my power.

[Roy Rogers]

Doggone you, Porter Hall. Unhand that girl and give her back that deed.

[Guest]

Aw, shucks, Roy. That isn't the deed to my ranch. Is this the song I'm going to sing tonight?

[Porter Hall]

Curses. Foiled again.

[Roy Rogers]

Not exactly, Porter. Because if Pat'll forgive you and sing the song right now, you'll get the treat of your life. Folks, Ms. Pat Friday singing Close as Pages in a book.

[Pat Friday]

We'Ll be close as pages in a book My love and I so close we could share a single look Share every sigh so close that before I hear your laugh My laugh breaks for us When a tear starts to clear my eyes For.

[Guest]

A misty true.

[Pat Friday]

Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground we'll hold them fast, darling as the strongest book is bound we're bound to love My life is your life and while I sees a way in my heart we'll be close as pages in a book Never.

[Singer 1]

See them tumbling down.

[Roy Rogers]

You know, you hear a lot about a cowman's pony. But there's another little animal I guess the west would never have been made without him. You find him packing loads twice their own weight. Where grubby prospectors work tirelessly in the desert sands. You'll find them high up in the mountains where a less sure footed animal will plunge his rider 5,000ft down a sheer drop. Or maybe their voices aren't as musical as a cowhand song as he sings and quiets he's heard. But I've yet to see the true westerner who didn't cuss them and loved him. The gentle sure footed little braying burl.

[Pat Friday]

We are wonders of the wasteland.

[Singer 1]

My love feared you, my broken down.

[Pat Friday]

Horse and always traveling, going nowhere.

[Porter Hall]

Across.

[Singer 1]

The plains and over the hills going. When I was young I used to.

[Roy Rogers]

Be.

[Singer 1]

A highfalutin shootin son of a.

[Pat Friday]

Gun up in my own.

[Singer 1]

I loved a girl, she loved my pal. So I packed my bag and sat on my neck and then I took her omen.

[Pat Friday]

Now we're only a lonely field.

[Singer 1]

Without a friend.

[Pat Friday]

We trail along endlessly. Three old wonders of the ways plan.

[Singer 1]

My love feared new, My broken down horse and me.

[Announcer]

Now it's Roy Rogers, the king of the cowboys and a new western ballad. Don't blame it all on me.

[Singer 1]

If our love should fade like a old winter's day, don't blame it all on me. Their true love has flown. Might have known friends will say don't blame it all on me. There was a time, dear, when we were so gay I heard you say I love only you. Someday with the dog all our love may be gone. But don't blame it all on me. Or after all, dear, I too have a heart, you have it now, don't break it apart. Someday our romance may break up just by chance. But don't blame it all on me.

[Teen Advocate]

Nearly 90% of kids who vape say flavors are why they do it. A lot of the flavors I've heard are like peach, mango, watermelon. It makes it seem like more childlike and innocent. Oh, I tried this once. It won't be that much of a problem. But then eventually it becomes a problem. It's time to restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products in Oregon and protect our kids from nicotine addiction. Urge lawmakers to Pass Senate Bill 702A.

[Announcer]

Say, Roy, you've got both Pat and me busting with curiosity about the yarn you and Porter hall are going to tell. What's so different about it.

[Guest]

Come on, Roy. Don't just stand there with that twinkle in your eye.

[Roy Rogers]

Well, kids, tonight's story is about the greatest cowboy who ever rode a Bronx, shot a six gun or roped to steer. As a matter of fact, he's the man who taught broncos to buck, who invented the six shooter and considered the lariat one of his unimportant inventions.

[Guest]

Oh, no. Wait a minute, Roy.

[Porter Hall]

Now you wait a minute, miss. Don't accuse Roy here of exaggerating.

[Announcer]

But, Roy, anybody knows the six gun was invented by Samuel Colt.

[Roy Rogers]

That, Vern, is just a rumor. The six gun was definitely invented by Pecos Bill.

[Guest]

Pecos Bill? Never heard of him.

[Porter Hall]

Female tenderfoot. Da.

[Announcer]

But who was Pecos Bill, Roy? He sounds as fantastic as this hall character here.

[Roy Rogers]

He's much more so, Vernon. Pecos Bill is the most fantastic character the imaginations of thousands of cowboys ever dreamed up. And if you'll all just make yourselves comfortable, Porter hall and I will tell you plenty about him. Now, I'm not saying that Pecos Bill is dead even today. To be honest, I don't know if Bill was ever born. They say he was born in Texas, and he was quite a baby. Weighed 73 pounds and stood more than 4ft tall. He got lost out on the prairie one day and didn't have anybody to play with. So Bill wound up living and playing with the coyotes. Well, just about Bill's ninth birthday, a cowboy who'd wandered off the trail came upon Bill just as the big kid was having a morning exercise.

[Cowboy]

Hey there, son. What you doing? Playing PI Nation?

[Porter Hall]

Don't you use your eyes? Can't you see them wrestling?

[Cowboy]

Now, hold on.

[Porter Hall]

That ain't fair.

[Cowboy]

One younger like you get only two bears let up on them.

[Porter Hall]

Well, Well, I don't like to be picking on somebody who ain't moon size. But shucks, there ain't more than two bears left around these parts. Guess I play too rough. Most of them die of a busted neck.

[Cowboy]

Well, what entire plast you doing out here in these hills anyhow, Running around shameless like that with no stitch of clothes on your body.

[Porter Hall]

Clothes? Don't you know us coyotes don't wear no clothes.

[Cowboy]

You've been chewing loco weed yosef. You ain't no coyote. You're a human being.

[Porter Hall]

I ain't no human being. I'm a regular natural born coyote. Don't I live with environments? Don't I talk to them? Don't I howl like them? Ain't I got fleas?

[Cowboy]

Now looky here, button. There ain't no proof you're a variety of why sakes alive. Ain't a human being these parts that don't howl and ain't got fleas.

[Porter Hall]

Well, don't you call me no human being.

[Cowboy]

Well, well, that's what you are. Look, ain't every varmint you ever see got a tail? Ain't they?

[Porter Hall]

Why, sure. All varmints got tails. That's natural.

[Cowboy]

Darn tooting it is. Then if you're. You're a varmint. Where's your tail?

[Porter Hall]

Well, I. Well, God blast it to lightning, you're right. I ain't got no tail.

[Cowboy]

Course you ain't. So you see, son, you're not a varmint at all. You're a human being.

[Porter Hall]

I don't want to be no human being. I don't want to be no human being.

[Cowboy]

Now looky here, fella. You is a human being. And it's my duty as another human being to take you back to civil.

[Roy Rogers]

Well, that's just about the time that Texas started to make its place in the world. Just when Pecos Bill was dragged back to civilization, what with eating regular, Bill started to grow. And inside of a year, Bill was more than 8ft tall and weighed better than a half a ton. But Bill was lazy and hated to work.

[Guest]

But Roy, what. What kind of work did Pecos Bill do?

[Roy Rogers]

Almost any kind of ranching, Pat roping, branding and. Well, you know, when he'd do the branding, he'd do it with his bare hands. He'd just grab a yearling, tuck it under his arm and stuff his ears up so he wouldn't hear the cat's ball. And you know, Bill was kind of a soft hearted cuss.

[Guest]

You mean he wasn't tough, Roy. He wasn't a bad man.

[Roy Rogers]

A bad man, Pat? Pecos Bill was so bad that he killed off everybody in his part of Texas that had enough spunk to stand up to him. Then he got so tired of the peace and quiet that he. He finally started heading west. Well, he finally run out into the. Run into an old fella and stopped his horse.

[Porter Hall]

Howdy, stranger. Say, can you direct me to some place where I might find myself a real man? You know, the kind what takes a real joy in a killing. Well, just keep heading up the canyon about 200 miles and you'll find him right now for yes, sir, you sure will. Oh, thanks, old timer. Pecos Bill is much obliged to you. Did you say Pepe?

[Cowboy]

Pepe?

[Porter Hall]

Pecos Bill? Yes, sir, I did. Pecos Bill's my name. Upper and daisies. I gotta get out of here.

[Singer 1]

Get up there.

[Porter Hall]

If he was really in a hurry. I wonder what took the old goat so long.

[Guest]

All right, for goodness sakes, don't stop there. What did Pegas Bill do? Did he go. Did he go the 200 miles up again?

[Roy Rogers]

Well, yes and no, Pat. You see, old Bill turned his horse and started. But after riding only about 20 miles, a dog on the horse stubbed his toe on a cottonwood tree and busted his leg. Well, all Bill could do was follow the code of the West. He covered his eyes with one hand and pulled out his rifle, which he used as a pistol, aimed it at the poor horse's head and with tears.

[Singer 1]

Running down.

[Porter Hall]

Goodbye, old pain. Someday we'll meet again, you and me, over on the other side of the great horizon.

[Roy Rogers]

But before Bill could squeeze the trigger, the horse looked up and with tears streaming from his big brown eyes, he said.

[Singer 1]

Now wait a minute, Bill.

[Roy Rogers]

You ain't going to shoot me just call three of my four legged is busted, are you?

[Porter Hall]

Well, I reckon I was. But if you got any last words, you ain't. You know I ain't one of them.

[Roy Rogers]

Regular, undersized, scrawny little horses. Just leave me alone for a bit.

[Porter Hall]

And I'll get well. Well, doggone if I don't believe you. Well, I'm going to take the saddle off you and leave you here. Then I'll leg it up to where that bunch of tough hombres are. And when you feel well enough in about 20 or 30 minutes, just cart up and ch. Well, I hadn't gone two mile further, saddle over one arm, when I spotted a little rattlesnake no more than 18ft long. So I put down the saddle and I reached out and I grabbed a sneaking sidewinder and after cuffing him good fashion a few times, the snake told me he'd give up. So I coiled the little fellow like a lariat, stuck him on my saddle horn and I started on up the canyon.

[Roy Rogers]

Atta boy, Bill. Tell him the rest of the story.

[Porter Hall]

Sky and stop Me? You movie cowboy, you? Well, a little piece further up the road. A catamount jump in. A what? A catamount. A mountain lion. Don't you know nothing? Anyway, he knocked me to the ground and that made me sore. Pat me up like that. Take. Take that. No, no. Quit, Bill. Quit.

[Cowboy]

Can't you take a joke?

[Porter Hall]

Oh, so it was a joke, was it? Yeah, but didn't turn out so well, Bill. Honest.

[Cowboy]

I'm the sorriest catamount out of captivity.

[Porter Hall]

Well, at least you're the dumbest can amount I ever see. Just for that, I'm a throwing this saddle on your stupid back and riding you up the canyon. No. Yeah, using this rattlesnake for a whip. Now get over there, boy. Now let's get started. Else will now break you in two and only eat the best pieces.

[Roy Rogers]

Well, as soon as Bill got the saddle.

[Guest]

Hey, just a minute, Roy. That's a fib. How come the horse and the catamount actually talked to Pecos Bill and Bill answered them?

[Roy Rogers]

Well, heavens to betsy, Pat. Wasn't the lad brought up with coyotes? Why, shucks, he had more trouble talking straight Texan than he did chewing a rag with them varmints. What happened then, Bill?

[Porter Hall]

Well, I ran into the camp where all them hard bitten owl hoots was sitting around eating chow. So I hauled up my catamount and I walked over to the cook parts and I looked in. What's this? Beans? Ah, nothing but six quarts left. Well, I'll start on those. Well, oh, ain't so bad, but they make me thirsty. Give me that coffee pot. Look out, stranger, that pot is a bar. Shut up. Yeah. Now someone hand me that porcupine to wipe my mouth on and we get down to business. What is your business, partner? Who's boss of this gang? That's what I want to know. Who's boss around here, stranger? I was, but you be.

[Guest]

And did anyone ever hear of Pecos Bill after that? Roy?

[Roy Rogers]

Why sure, Pat. A few years later someone bet him he couldn't ride a Cyclone. Well, Pecos Bill was the kind of a fellow no one could dare. So he went back to Kansas, waited for a twister, and when one came along while he climbed aboard.

[Announcer]

And was he killed, Roy? I mean, did the Cyclone throw him?

[Roy Rogers]

Throw a legendary character like that? Why, not at all, Vern. By the time that twister crossed Colorado, he had it as tame as a lamb. But then he got a little bit overconfident. You know, he rolled himself a cigarette and when he. When he couldn't find any matches. He reached up and grabbed a piece of fork at lightning.

[Guest]

Oh, I see, Roy. And the lightning electrocuted him.

[Roy Rogers]

Shucks no, Pat. But it tickled him and got got him to laughing so much it he didn't look where he was going. So he slipped off the cyclone and dropped 97 miles to Earth.

[Announcer]

Oh, Roy, that doesn't seem possible.

[Roy Rogers]

But it happened. Vern. And where Bill landed, he weighed so much and fell so far that he knocked the Earth 150ft below sea level. Folks called the place where he landed Death Valley. Cause they figured he'd never survive such a bump. Fact is, I was surprised as you were when Pecos Bill walked in here. Ton.
