TOMMY STEAGALL
MEETS A CELEBRITY
A trip to Spokane last week
resulted in the meeting of a
celebrity for Tommy Steagall,
son of Mr. and Mrs. George
Steagall, Heppner.
Due to the ticket sell-out the
Steagalls were unable to see
the Liberace concert. How
ever, as they were waiting in
line to rent a wheelchair for
Tommy, Liberaces' under
study, Scott, turned to Tommy
and shook his hand.
Scott, the 13-year-old banjo
player, has been working
under Liberace for some time.

Vernon Leathers dies
Vernon Leathers 74, died at
his home in Lexington, July 7.
Mr. Leathers was born Dec.
28, 1899, at Parkers Mill near
Hardman, the son of Nicholas
and Hattie Hinton Leathers.
An overseas veteran of
W.W. II, he was a member of
Goldbeach Lodge No. 199,
AF&AM. He was also a life
member of the Portland
Musicians Union, and he
operated a tavern in Lexing
ton for many years.
On June 2, 1928 he was
married to Grace Marquis in
Portland.
Services were held July 10
at Sweeney's Mortuary Chap
el with Heppner Lodge No. 69,
Af&AM, officiating.
Casketbearers were Wil
liam Padberg, Buster Pad
berg, Kenneth Klinger, Wade
Bothwell, Morris McCarl and
C.C. Carmichael.
Survivors include one sister,
Mrs. C.C. Carmichael, and a
brother, Owen Leathers, both
of Heppner.
The following is a tribute to
Vern Leathers by his sister,
Mrs. C. C. Carmichael of Hep
ner: Since many in this area
have not known the ability of
Vern Leathers, I feel that his
death merits more than casual
notice.
Vern's high ideals and high
ambitions made him a man of
unswerving loyalty to his
friends. His sense of justice

and fair play is seldom equal
led. Early in life his musical a
bility was discovered. He was
one of those rare individuals
who possessed a God-given
"true pitched" ear. While in
early years he tried many
musical instruments, he was
still searching for that one
particular one until the family
moved to Vancouver, Wa.,
where he realized that the
trombone was for him.
He studied six years with
Burns Powell, famed trom
bonist, and was then as good
as he could ever be. His re
markable music from within
brought him more and more
invitations to play for dances,
in theaters and for concerts.
Through his warm and friend
ly personality and a life based
on sound values and hard
work, he eventually found his
place in the sun.
When Wilhem von Hoogstra
ton, internationally famous
conductor, came to Portland,
Burns Powell died and the
