Assurance of the Rodeo associa
tion that no selection of the queen
has been made was given by Presi
dent Heynr Aiken this morning.
While several names have been sug
gested, there has been no action of
the directors, and he asked that
anyone having names to submit do
so at their earliest convenience.
Announcement of the queen will
be made some time in the series of
dances that will be wound up in
Heppner on the evening of August
20 with the big celebration in her
honor.
D. M. Ward and Frank Nickerson
were named this week on the hous
ing committee,' and with announce
ment from Hotel Heppner that it
has already reserved almost the en
tire house for the three days, Aug

those having private rooms avail
able list them as soon as possible,
Mr. Aiken said.
Additional stress is being placed
again this year upon the big Sat
urday parade feature with the in
tention of showing as many relics of
the Old West as possible. To this
end Mr. Aiken asks 'that anyone
knowing the whereabouts of old
surreys, wagons, coaches or other
relics make their location known.
Liberal parade prizes will again be
given to make the efforts of every
one worth while.

ED CHENN, Prop.
Some thirty years ago students of
Heppner high school issued a month
ly publication, "The Chinook." It
was largely literary in content and
the few drawings it contained were
the work of one Leandre Pavid, a
student of high rating in the school.
Since graduation from the local
high school, lo these many years,
Mr. Pavid has pursued the course of
education and as professor of French
for 18 years promoted the French
ideals of education to a degree to
gain for him an office in the French
academy on a visit to Paris a few
years ago, it was revealed on Mr.
Pavid's visit here the end of the
week. With Mrs. Pavid and son Mi
chel he stopped at the home of his
cousin, Mrs. Omar Rietmann, at lone
before going on with the family to
Twin Falls, Idaho, to visit brother-in-law
and sister of Mrs. Pavid, Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Dix. From Twin
Falls they expected to journey to
Yellowstone National park before
returning to their home at Sacra
mento, Cal., where Mr, Pavid is pro
fessor of French at Sacramento ju
nior college.
Pavid looked up many old-time
friends in Heppner Saturday, and
enjoyed recalling incidents of the
days spent here which he counts
among the most enjoyable of his life.
Especially was he interested to
learn the whereabouts of "Tige"
Kenton, boyhood friend and famed
for making the first "airplane flight"
in the city. About three years ago
Pavid located Tige in Portland and
ascertained that he had followed his
childhood bent for inventiveness as
a designing engineer. In a recent
check-up, however, Tige was not
present in Portland city, telephone
or other directories.
Pavid recalled that he wasn't pres
ent when Tige's famous flight took
place, though he recollected having
watched much of the machine's con
struction. It was a glider much re
sembling a large box kite. On the
memorable flight, attempted on the
hill east of town, Kenton went with
it some twenty feet into the air be
fore it nosedived to earth, a mass of
cheese cloth and bamboo splints.
This, Pavid reminisced, was only one
of a number of Kenton inventions
that made Heppner natives prick up
their ears.
The years since Pavid left Hepp
ner have treated him kindly. Rather
taller and his slender boyish figure
showing the trace of a bulge at the
waistline, a French toupee hiding
the baldness of his upper lip and
spectacles lending their bit to the
professional mein, he is still wont
to evidence more interest in others
and be reticent about himself. But it
has been gleaned that he has been
president of the French club in Sac
ramento for three years and had the
recent distinction of officially wel
coming a visit to the club from the
French consul general at San Fran
cisco. In addition he has written a
number of articles on current French
Thursday, July 21, 1938
topics published in a Sacramento
newspaper.
