APPROVES ACTION

Today Company DRe

' A recommendation that' neither
f the Hiwh MeCull field nor the
government emergency landing
field be purchased hut that It is
denim hie to purchase as soon as
possible a satisfactory field ut a
reasonable price to he used as a
community airport, wan presented
to the chamber uf commerce today
' by Mm aviation committee, and
I ratified without li dissenting vote.
This action was. taken during the
noon luncheon at' the La Grande
hotel, followlnir a renurt nreseuted
by Dr. J. I. Inprle, a member of the
committee. Other mcmlbers ure:
Julius Koesch. chairman; Dr. K.
G. McCall, Oscar Cutler and W O.
Perkins.
The committee report came after
n summer spent In a thorough
Investigation of the entire situa
tion. It was reported that to lease
the laud now used by the govern
ment and the Vurney airmail line
from Judge l'hy would Involve
approximately $2.00(1 a year plus
. maintenance costs, and to buy the
McCall property and an additional
20 acres that would he necessary,
would involve around $10,001). The
en mm it tee feels that there Is a
hazard at the emergency field, due
to high tension wires on the north,
and regards the iMcCall price of
$ I r0 and acre loo high, stating
that more desirable land could be
purchased for a similar price.
Dr. Ingle stated thathc govern
ment lease of the l'hy field had
three years more to run, and that
ut the end of that time, If the.
. community had a satisfactory field
f to offer, the government would
move Um equipment, Valued at
$20,000 to the municipal airport.
It was for this reason ul.su coupled
with the fact that the fields here
at present are taking care of prcs
tmt demands, that the committee
did not recommend purchasing the
l'hy .up MeCitll fields but rather,
investigating other desirable sites.
The report also brought out that
Mr. l'hy is realizing about $U.0U0
annual from the land used by the
airmail planes, and that Mr. Mc
Call Is receiving revenue from
renting his field to commercial
companies.
Maintenance of an airfield would
Include the expense of a caretaker,
and about a month for lights

Sir Harry Lauder, Here Today
En Route to Pendleton, Gives
His Opinion On Scotch Jokes
"Tell the people 1 hope that
trade Is good, business brisk, and
everybody happy," Harry Lauder
remarked this .morning as he and
his troupe stopped In La flrande
The wuv he spoke made one think
of Scotch broom and heather.
The time that he seemed most
Scotch and least affected by our
Americanism was when asked what
he' thought about the Scotch Jokes
that are so prevalent.
lie laughed heartily, his face
was slightly red from the cooi
morning air, or maybe it Is always
red, "That is the joke," and he
laughed again. If you heard the
laugh in the dark, you would know
it belonged to somebody pleasant;
and then when you .-can sec Its
owner 'in daylight, right then all
visions of the popular Scotchman
featured In American humor, fade.
They can't be of the same race,
this man of the Jokes, and Harry
Lauder. ' .
Knjoy - Jokes
"Wo Scotch, always enjoy jokes
about ourselves. We laugh because!
the Americans believe them. J
"Wo know they aren't true, -t
that's how we enjoy It so much. I
like America fine, it is my adopted
country." Hero is a man so gen
erous lie adopts a whoic country.
Who said a Scotchman was tight,
anyway ?
On his head he wore a brown
