Gene Autry's "Cowboy Commandments"

When I was a little girl 'Westerns' were all the rage. They were the most popular TV shows (Bonanza, Gunsmoke, etc) and John Wayne was probably the most well known movie star. Flags were flown at half mast when John Wayne died. How many movie stars can brag about that? Unfortunately when Gene Autry died, people thought he had been dead for decades! (Gene Autry died October 2, 1998 in California). When Clyde and I lived in El Paso, a radio station on Sunday evenings would play old radio shows, like Fibber McGee and Molly, The Shadow and Little Orphan Annie. One of the shows was the Gene Autry Show "Oklahoma's Yodeling Cowboy." I remember hearing Gene's 'Cowboy Commandments' or 'Cowboy Code' then but the other day they suddenly appeared on the internet again. I had not realized how important they were to our every day living as I grew up - but pretty much everyone followed this code. Here it is:

1. The Cowboy must never shoot/hit first. You must never hit a smaller man or take unfair advantage.
2. He must never go back on his word or a trust confided in him.
3. He must always tell the truth.
4. He must be gentle with children, the elderly and animals.
5. He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously insolent ideas.
6. He must help people in distress.
7. He must be a good worker.
8. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action and personal habits.
9. He must respect women, parents, and his nation's laws.
10. The cowboy is a patriot.
