One of the highlights for the dude ranch summer season was the area rodeo where dude ranches, their guests and wranglers, would complete against one another. For the first seven years, the rodeos were held in Jackson at the rodeo grounds. Preceding each rodeo was a parade through downtown Jackson with many floats and upwards of 500 horses. Because of the growth and diminishing open spaces in Jackson, the annual event was moved in 1954 to the Teton Valley Ranch near Kelly where dude ranchers built their own rodeo grounds. Due to changes in the business climate for dude ranchers and the broader tourist industry, and the expenses that ranchers themselves paid, it was decided to discontinue the annual event in 1960.

Rodeo events included: calf roping, bronco riding (horses for the men and mules for women), fast and 'slow' horse racing, best costume competition, team roping, a children's pony race and a three quarter mile novelty race (walk, trot, and run). Many participated and events were well attended. Proceeds went to a local charity including the Boy Scouts and St. John's Hospital.

Ann Messler Cuddy from White Grass won the Dudine Race three years in a row and White Grass won the best overall dude ranch trophy (both circa, early 1950's). That same year White Grass won as best overall dude ranch winner. Local papers indicated that owner Frank Galey, a rodeo competitor himself, also served on the rodeo planning committee.

In the 1960's smoking was accepted and ok to do. About 42% of Americans smoked. As evidence mounted that tobacco was linked to cancer, heart disease, and other serious health problems, policies were enacted to reduce smoking. The smoking rate in the 1950's was 40 - 45%.

Smoking rates cut in half. Eight million lives saved. More than 800,000 fewer lung cancer deaths. Fifty years after the U.S. Surgeon General first warned about the dangers of smoking, the benefits of quitting have never been clearer.

Yet 18 percent of the population still smokes. Nearly 2,000 teenagers take up the habit every day and tobacco companies advertise candy-flavored tobacco products with impunity. Is it possible this is the best the United States will ever do?

Health experts are convinced it isn't - and they point to maps that rank states and regions by smoking status as proof. A look at a county-by-county breakdown of who smokes and where makes it clear that there are opportunities to get smoking rates way down, they say.

Kentucky has the most smokers - more than 28 percent of the population smokes there, compared to just 11 percent in Utah, which has the lowest rates, and double the 14 percent in California. And when you overlay those smoking maps with details of rates of heart disease, stroke and cancer, it's equally clear that there are still plenty of lives to be saved by trying.

How?

"(With) taxes, strong smoke-free laws and fully funding state tobacco prevention programs," says Dr. Mariell Jessup, president of the American Heart Association. "These measures can reduce the number of adult smokers to less than 10 percent of the population in 10 years."

Also, raising the legal age to buy tobacco products to 21 would go a long way to stopping kids from ever getting addicted in the first place, the Heart Association, American Lung Association, American Cancer Society, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and other groups agree.

"We do it with booze yet we don't do it with cigarettes, when cigarettes kill about 10 times more people than alcohol does," says Dr. Michael Fiore of the University of Wisconsin's Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention.

Smoking is often just another marker for social and economic disparities, Fiore adds. "Fewer than 10 percent of college graduates smoke," Fiore points out. But 35 percent of people who never graduated from high school do.

"Two things will solve this issue over time and eliminate tobacco use. One is hard-hitting public policy. At the same time, we need the ready availability of treatments for smokers."

It was Jan. 11, 1964 when then-Surgeon General Dr. Luther Terry held a news conference to announce that smoking causes cancer and probably heart disease, too. It was a time when close to half of Americans smoked - including Terry himself - and it set off a 50-year battle between regulators and the tobacco industry.

Since then, science has proven beyond any doubt that smoking causes most cases of lung cancer, most heart disease and lung disease as well as stroke and a range of cancers from breast to bladder. Researchers have proven that nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known, and that tobacco companies deliberately manipulate nicotine levels in their products to get people hooked on the first cigarette and keep them hooked for life.

In a study published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Theodore Holford of the Yale School of Public Health and colleagues estimated that 17.7 million people died between 1964 and 2012 because of smoking. But they also calculated that tobacco control measures saved 8 million lives. And the average American lives two years longer than they otherwise would have, they said.

Yet smoking still kills 1 in 5 Americans, or 440,000 people a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. That includes more than 49,000 people who die from the effects of secondhand smoke.

When tobacco companies lost the fight to shed doubt on the health effects of smoking, they re-framed the issue as one of personal choice. When schools, cities and employers completely banned smoking on their premises, companies advertised cigarettes as stress-relievers and subtly encouraged smokers to feel like they were somehow edgy rebels instead of tobacco addicts.

But measures aimed at smokers worked, and smoking rates have plummeted from 42 percent of the population in 1965 to 18 percent today. Congress and state legislatures have declined to make smoking illegal, but health experts say there are ways to get smoking rates even lower despite the law.

One way is to stop people from smoking in the first place, says Dr. James Perrin, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

"Eighty-eight percent or more of lifetime smokers start before they turn age 18," he told NBC News. The adolescent brain is particularly susceptible to the addicting effects of nicotine, and just raising the legal age to buy tobacco to 21 would help get kids past the most vulnerable point, he says.

Perrin joins other health experts in urging the Food and Drug Administration to take a firmer hand. "Four years ago, the US stopped sales of candy-flavored cigarettes because they are particularly appealing to children," Perrin said. Yet little cigars flavored like cotton candy, grape and even gummy bears remain on the market. Such products are not aimed at 40-year-olds, Perrin maintains.

Taxes also have been shown to reduce smoking rates. But they are nowhere as near as high as they should be, argues Dick Woodruff of the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network. "Taxes work," Wodruff told reporters. But federal taxes are just a dollar a pack. "It's just ridiculous," he says. "We need to overcome the anathema Congress has on taxes and revenues and educate them."

States add their own taxes, and Kentucky, the state with the highest smoking rates, adds just 60 cents a pack, while New York adds $4.35 a pack and Massachusetts $3.50. Studies show that the people most likely to smoke are also the most sensitive to price.

Experts also argue that states aren't spending these tax revenues properly in helping people to stop smoking. They're also not using a big pot of money called the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, which was a giant lawsuit settled in 1998 between the attorneys general of 46 states and the four biggest tobacco companies. It provides $206 billion over 25 years - that's more than $175 million a year per state, or more than $8 billion a year for all the states. Yet states spent just $640 million on tobacco control efforts in 2010.

Tobacco companies have fought and lobbied against every measure. But anti-tobacco activists marked a victory on Friday. Tobacco companies and the federal government reached an agreement on a series of "corrective statements" the companies must publish. It comes from a 2006 ruling in which Washington, D.C., federal district judge Gladys Kessler ruled that the cigarette companies conspired for decades to conceal the dangers of smoking.

Under the agreement with the Justice Department , each of the companies must publish full-page ads in the Sunday editions of 35 newspapers and on the newspapers' websites, as well as air prime-time TV spots on CBS, ABC or NBC five times per week for a year. They've been fighting over the wording, says Vince Willmore of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "The companies have appealed every step of the way," he said.

These ads must say, for instance: "Smoking kills, on average, 1,200 Americans. Every day."

"Philip Morris USA, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Altria intentionally designed cigarettes to make them more addictive."

"When you smoke, the nicotine actually changes the brain - that's why quitting is so hard."

The companies also must publish the statements on their own websites and affix them to a certain number of cigarette packs three times per year for two years.

Something else - doctors need to nag their patients more, says Fiore. "I would never dream of letting a patient with high blood pressure leave my office without treating it," Fiore said. "But every day in America, millions of Americans go in and out of a physician's office and their smoking is not treated."

The conclusion of the United States Surgeon General's Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health in 1964 that excessive cigarette smoking causes lung cancer is cited as the major turning point for public health action against cigarettes. But the surgeon general and US Public Health Service (PHS) scientists had concluded as early as 1957 that smoking was a cause of lung cancer, indeed, "the principal etiologic factor in the increased incidence of lung cancer."

Will Rogers, in full William Penn Adair Rogers, (born November 4, 1879, Cherokee Territory, U.S. [near present-day Claremore, Oklahoma]-died August 15, 1935, near Point Barrow, Alaska), American entertainer, radio personality, film actor, and writer who was famous for his pithy and homespun humour and social commentary.

Rogers learned how to ride a horse and do rope tricks while growing up on a ranch in what would eventually become Oklahoma. He worked in various Wild West shows in the United States and overseas, and in 1905 he displayed his roping skills at a show at Madison Square Garden. The good reviews he received for the engagement prompted his decision to stay in New York City and work in vaudeville. Upon discovering that audiences loved his Western drawl, he began to ad-lib patter in his previously silent act. Rogers appeared in his first Broadway show, The Wall Street Girl, in 1912 and demonstrated his roping skills between acts. He did the same in a few less successful shows in 1915, but he impressed producer Flo Ziegfeld enough to be hired later that year for the cast of Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolic.

To keep his act fresh, Rogers poked fun at prominent audience members and commented on the events of the day, especially political news. Gently kidding Democrats and Republicans alike, Rogers became a master of the political one-liner, such as "Every time Congress makes a joke it's law, and every time they make a law it's a joke." From Midnight Frolic, Rogers moved to the prestigious Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway in 1916, a yearly production to which he frequently returned until 1925.

In 1918 Rogers starred in his first film, Laughing Bill Hyde. Though Rogers would never admit to being anything but an amateur actor, critics appreciated his natural charm and appealingly plain face. For the next few years, he appeared in silent features for producer Sam Goldwyn, as well as several comedies he produced himself and a series of Hal Roach two-reelers that made light of Hollywood and Washington. Rogers wrote books, articles, and a syndicated newspaper column; he frequently performed on radio and was a popular after-dinner speaker.

In 1929 Rogers signed a movie contract with the Fox Film Corporation and made his first talking picture, They Had to See Paris. Sound films obviously suited the talkative Rogers, and his popular films made him a bigger star than ever before. His more notable sound films included A Connecticut Yankee (1931), based on Mark Twain's humorous novel, and State Fair (1933).

In politics, Rogers preferred to remain an observer, but he spent a few weeks in 1926 as honorary mayor of Beverly Hills until California legislation declared his position illegal ("I ain't the first mayor that's been kicked out," he mused), and he was a supporter of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidential candidacy. In 1935, at the height of his popularity, Rogers died in a plane crash near Point Barrow, Alaska. His last two films, Steamboat 'Round the Bend and In Old Kentucky, were released posthumously the same year.
