Those persons who consistently

airport. ---';" -, :-' Vili:.-- j
By nightfall I had an. hour in
the air to my credit but thrilled
as I was over that experience (and';
I mink the plane's. owner and its
Irish pilot were genuinely , tickled
with my newspaper description of
same), I found a greater and less-
publicized delight in having met
and made friends with a real in
ventor. But the great things in
life we seldom make Into conver
sation pieces so I was silent. :
No perpetual motion machines
for -Stanley Hiller! His genius had
brought about the great cookers
and rollers and sieves used, in the
processing of scrap fish into oil
and meat He had invented a good
many other things, too, but we
lived 'in the coast country and to
us he was the father of the pil
chard Industry. V -: '-J .'l1
You may recall how not very
long . ago I sounded off about a
flight above the : Golden Gate-
that story bf the dark cross rising
shining from a sea of fog X count
among my best The ' trip - was
made in the same little red plane.
This, time the pilot was a young
adventurer who had been i em
ployed by Pan-American, and
when he suggested that I bold the
stick X shivered and hesitated until
oar host said, laughingly, "My boy
could fly a plane when I had to
hold him on my knee so he could
reach the instrument board."
, In Mr. Holler's office later 1 met
the boy, still in knee-pants sit
ting on the 'floor and working
with a small motor. He nodded his
head gravely when we were intro
duced, but apparently : found no
difficulty in concentrating on his
"work." V. :' "-' i '
The years and the miles have
intervened and X doubt if the In
ventor whose infrequent appear
ances in Oregon brought such ad
venture into my life would re
member me si other than (ah, I
hd thought never to admit to
the title here) V "the Pilchard
Queen," but ou will tmderstand
why I "have b e e n so interested,
have felt such a personal triumph

axine, Sept.-18) .'
v ' !
The fact that Henry Kaiser
plans- to manufacture Stanley
Hiller, Jr.'s, practical little flying
machine for popular use at the
close of the war is exciting to me,
but not half so pleasing as the
memory of the father of the pil
chard industry as he stood ;grkv
nlng down at the small boy on
the floor of his : office working
with a motor and he said as
he stood there "He wW beat me
