Aboard Large Blimp
A ride in the Goodyear
Blimp provided Mr. and Mrs.
Milo Prlndle with an Inter
esilng experience when they
went to Portland to a golf
meeting at the Riverside
Country Club Saturday, July
23.
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

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. WEATHER

WHAT HAIL can do to a grain crop U shown In this picture taken at the George Snider place,
8 miles south of lone, following the July 14 8tnn. The standing crop was beaten to the ground
to look more like trashy fallow than a ripening crop. No trace of heads nor chaff can be found.
About 500 of Snider 595 acres of wheat and buley were considered a total loss. Snider, at right
appears reconciled to the loss while Bill Qui an. insurance adjuster, checks the field. Insur
ance only partly covered the damage. Hailstones that hit this field, accompanied by rain and
wind, were said to be as large as the end of a man's thumb. Many other ranches in two sep
arate areas of the west side of the county were hard hit Mrs. Arthur Dalzell reported that
they had a total loss on 318 acres of wheat from hail damage in Gilliam county but had no
hail damage on their ranch in Morrow county. (Photo courtesy Charles Ruggles)

Mrs. Duvall Pinned
Under Heavy Stove
When Cleaning Oven
Mrs. Amanda ' Duvall was
the victim of a freak accident
at her home early Saturday
afternoon, which could have
ended in serious consequen
ces. She had just cleaned her
kitchen stove and, as a last
touch, reached into the back
of the oven with her left
hand and in doing so, put her
body weight on the oven
door. The 240-lb. 30-inch elec
trie stove started falling over
forward and she was unable
to stop it or get away from
it. It fell completely down to
the floor, pinning her left
arm near the elbow and her
right fingers under the front
top rim of the heavy stove.
Mrs. Duvall finally got her
right fingers free and with
great pain and effort she was
able to lift the stove off her
left arm.
She drove to Pioneer Mem
orial hospital for X-rays, but
no bones were found to be
broken. Her left arm still
shows dark bruises from
strain of the heavy weight.
Neighbors in the area were
away for the week-end and It
would have been several
hours before anyone would
have missed her. She consid
ers herself lucky she was ab
le to free herself after being
pinned for about 15 minutes
and get medical attention at
the hospital.
