Whole Dyer Family Fancies Riding in Spare Time By LOUISE METEER "You can take a man out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the man." "Like father, like son." "A beautiful and talented girl will set aside her own plans for the sake of those she loves." These are the three thoughts uppermost in the mind of the writer, after meeting Mr. and Mrs. William Dyer and their 4½-month-old son, Bill, or, as they call him, "Billy the Kid." Big Bill Dyer is well known for his years with the local police department where he is now head of the juvenile division. He spends his days there, but when those hours end, sometimes rather late when he is on a case, he can't get home fast enough to his Nancy and young Bill, and his animals. The animals are what makes his particular little corner of Orange County, (the Dyers live between Orange and Anaheim on Batavia Ave., in county territory) like a little piece of the Texas that Bill remembers and loves so much. MENAGERIE On his small ranch he has horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and just about the prettiest wife who ever brushed her red hair out of her eyes early in the morning to help feed all the livestock. Nancy Dyer is the daughter of a Los Angeles physician, Dr. Herbert Root. She was well established in a career as a trick rider and moving picture and television actor when fate stepped in and made her Bill's wife, and the mother of Billy the Kid. She met Bill when he was appointed as her official escort at a May Festival in Orange where she rode as Miss Young Republican. When Bill saw her in her Western hat he knew that there wasn't anything back in Texas, feminine-wise, that interested him any more. When young Bill was born his Daddy decided right then that the boy should become accustomed to the feel of a horse in movement. He took him for his first ride around the yard when he was only six weeks old. FANCY ATTIRE Now the baby has his own shortie levis, a red shirt and some fancy suede cloth boots. Western style, that his mother whipped up for him in her spare time. She knows all about things Western, having been in the University of Arizona rodeo team at one time, performing later as a stunt rider for the movies. The Dyers are saving their money because they want to buy a ranch somewhere close enough for Bill to continue his police work. How large a ranch? Oh, just a small one... say 50 acres or so! When Billy the Kid was born he weighed 8 pounds, 9½ ounces. Now he has bettered 17 pounds. He was entered in the Better Baby Show sponsored by the American Legion in Santa Ana recently, and placed first in his division. The babies were judged on points of health, for which he scored 100 per cent; beauty and the number of tickets that their parents sell to the show. HEALTH AWARD Billy got a blue ribbon for health. His mother says that he was breast fed for three months and is now a bottle baby, but that he eats every kind of baby food. Billy is a great sleeper. She feeds him about 7 p.m. and tucks him in for the night and he sleeps until 10 a.m. the next day, giving her a chance to feed the animals and do a little house work. He spends his time happily in a play pen in the living room, and has just found out that his hands are attached to him and good for holding things. Of course he has his parents firmly in his grasp. They make big plans for him, not the least of which is riding his own horse with them in parades when he's just knee-high to a Texas mosquito. His Daddy has an important legacy for him, too. It's a somewhat battered felt hat. Men in Service Men in Service TRAINEE Andrew R. Thibeault, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew O.
