NEWS Wallowa.com Wednesday, July 10, 2019 A3 Fair board wants to exhibit army aviators and airships OUT OF THE PAST Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins 100 YEARS AGO July 10, 1919 For the fi rst time in the history of the community, the deposits of the Enter- prise banks passed the mil- lion dollar mark with the call of June 30. The total was $1,027,098. To protect business men of Enterprise from being solicited for money to sup- port various schemes of doubtful merit, the Chamber of Commerce decided that a committee should be named to which every cause or fund should be referred. Business men will refuse to subscribe to a paper or scheme which has not the approval of this committee. The suggestion has come from many quarters that one or more airships giving exhi- bitions of real feats of fl ying would be a great attraction at the county fair this fall. The board wants to get some army aviators and airships, to show more than one type of craft, and to give an exhi- bition of offi cial perfor- mances. There is no demand for hair-raising and hazard- ous performances. 70 YEARS AGO July 7, 1949 The photographer for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stu- dios who was here a few weeks ago taking pictures with a view to using this region as the location for a new movie, phoned ask- ing for accommodations to be furnished to directors of the company who planned to come and look over the area.
