According to Mrs. Prlndle they hapened to meet a friend who was handling the book ing for the blimp and were able to take advantage of cancellations on one of the trips. Kach trip begins at the Port land airport and consists of a half-hour swing up the Wil lamette River over Portland and back to the airport. There are six passengers and the pilot In the comfortable deck at the bottom of the blimp and the passengers can watch the piloting of the blimp and talk to the pilot during the flight. The weather during their trip was beautiful and they traveled veryl smoothly ex cept for occasional dips for ward so the passengers could look down at the city through the pilot's window. There was enough liRht wind so the blimp had to make two at-i tempts at landing and they had a little extra time in the air. There are two Goodyear blimps which travel over the country. This particular blimp was spending a week in Port land giving tours during the davs and Into the evenings. New Building Due For Microwave TV Now under construction near the Heppner TV, Inc., antenna site on the hill northwest of town is a 12x12 ft. concrete block building that will handle a microwave antenna and equipment, Carl Spaulding, manager of the cable system, said Wednesday. Maurice Groves Is construct ing the building under contract to the cable system. The microwave system, which Is expected to bring all grade A pictures from Portland sta tions to Heppner, has been ap proved for Heppner TV, Inc., by the Federal Communications Commission, and Telecommuni cations of Oregon will provide the service. Difficulty of getting equip ment necessary for the instal lation is causing some delay, Spaulding said, and it is not known at this time when mi crowave will become a reality here. It Is hoped that it will be in operation in early fall. Included in the new building will be a funnel-shaped receiv ing "dish", some 8 feet in dia meter. Microwave receivers and modulators also will be install ed. One side of the building will have a plexoglass wall through which the signal will pass to reach the "dish", and it will then be piped through the ca ble to members of the cooper ative in Heppner. Spaulding said that at last report from Telecommunica tions, modulators were expected to be received August 15, and other receiving gear is due September 1. Demand for equip ment and materials of similar nature in Vietnam is reason for the scarcity here and the de lay.
