After World War I, Cessna joined
with two legendary partners, Lloyd
Stearman and Walter Beech, who was
also a test pilot. In 1925, they formed a
company called Travel Air Manufac-
turing.
This company became one of the
nation's leading airplane manufactur-
ers. Two years later, Clyde Cessna set
out on his own, to build a high-perfor-
mance, single-wing plane that could
outperform the biplanes of the time.
His monoplane model would be able to
reach speeds of 145 miles per hour and
fly more than seven hours in length, a
remarkable achievement for the time.
However, the Great Depression hit
and the company put the business on
hold. Clyde Cessna went back to the
farm, but his nephew, Dwayne Wallace,
was still working in aviation. Dwayne
encouraged Clyde to restart the busi-
ness and together, they did so. Clyde
retired in 1936 but his nephew would
continue to build the company.
The company grew and changed
through the years. For example, the
1956 Cessna Skyhawk would outsell
every other light airplane in the world.
Today, the Cessna Aircraft Company
is considered one of the world' s largest
makers of small aircraft.
The world' s most popular airplanes.
That was one description of the planes
built by the Cessna Aircraft Company.
And there' s more. Before revitaliz-
ing Cessna, Dwayne Wallace had been
working for none other than Clyde's
former partner, Walter Beech, who
founded his own airplane company.
We'll tel! that story anp er time.

Working with a roofer that is regis-

tips in dealing with any transient con-

Any Kansans who have problems
with roofing contractors or other com-
panies that follow storms may file a
request for the attorney general' s Con-
sumer Protection Division to investi-

The attorney general requests that Kan-
sans promptly report any unregistered
person or company attempting to sell
roofing services by calling his office or
using the online reporting form.
Recent storm damage
could attract illegal
building contractors
Kansas Attorney General Derek
Schmidt reminded Kansas
homeowners in areas damaged by re-
cent severe weather to use caution dur-
ing the cleanup and rebuilding to avoid
scams by transient contractors.
"The recent hail and wind damage
in several areas of the state means
many homeowners will be seeking con-
tractors for roof repairs," Schmidt said.
"When considering roofing work on a
home or business, it is important that
consumers make sure their roofing con-
tractor is properly registered before
signing any contract or having any
work done. Consumers should request
a copy of their roofer's registration
certificate and then should check our
consumer protection website to con-
firm that the registration remains ac-
tive."
The requirement to register with
the attorney general' s office is in addi-
tion to any other local requirements
that may be imposed by cities or coun-
ties. An online directory is available at
www.InYourCornerKansas.org.
The Kansas Roofing Contractor
Registration Act was passed during
the 2013 legislative session and took

Cinco de Mayo
commemorates
famous battle
By Kerma Crouse
Cinco de Mayo, meaning "the fifth
of May," commemorates an 1862
Franco-Mexican War battle. The
Franco-Mexican War was fought be-
cause Mexico had defaulted on loans
received from France, England. and
Spain. England and Spain settled
through negotiations, but not France.
France, hoping to create a depen-
dent empire, attacked Mexico. The
French Army was well equipped and
well-funded. Early in the six year long
war (1861 to 1867) the beleaguered
Mexican Army defeated a seemingly
stronger French force at Puebla de Los
Angeles in north central Mexico.
The victory was not particularly
significant militarily. However it be-
came a rallying point and was signifi-
cant because of the moral boost it gave
the Mexican Army and the Mexican
people.
Though not a national holiday in
Mexico, it is celebrated in the State of
Puebla and the city of Puebla de Los
Angeles. In the United States it is ob-
served to recognize and honor Mexi-
can culture and tradition.
