DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 19-20, 1915 Here is a new problem to tax the prowess of George Tonkin, game warden for this county. Out near the Presbyterian mission, according to Rev. J.M. Cornelison, the male China pheasants have become so numerous and so bold they frighten the Presbyterian chickens away from their feed and under the protection of the game laws proceed to eat the chicken feed themselves. The China roosters are so large, says Mr. Cornelison, that the chickens think they are hawks. Accordingly, when they swoop down in the chicken lots the KHQVDOOVHHNVDIHW\LQÀLJKWWKXVOHDYLQJWKH ¿HOG WR WKH HQHP\ %HLQJ D GHYRXW PHPEHU of the church and a law abiding citizen, Rev. Cornelison says he rigidly obeys the law and has taken no destructive measure for the defense of his fowl but he humorously suggest the game warden should stay on his place to “shoo” the pheasants away. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 19-20, 1965 Scientists are whipping the problem of airline terminals jammed with frustrated fog-bound passengers, a United Air Lines executive says. The air carriers, which conducted fog-dispersal projects in Portland, Medford and four other cities last winter, are extending the operations to 11 more airports this year, including Pendleton. And the time may not be far away when fog is no longer a $90 million headache to the air carriers each year, says W. Boynton Beckwith, chief meteorologist for United in Chicago. The technique is seeding the fog with dry ice, similar to cloud seeding to encourage rainfall. So far, however, the seeding cuts away the fog only when it is “supercooled,” when the fogbank temperature is at freezing or lower. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 19-20, 1990 A Washington man was seriously injured in a three-car accident involving a tractor-trailer just north of Hermiston on Highway 395 Thursday afternoon. Larry Pope, 41, of Othello, Wash., was listed in serious condition this morning at Emmanuel Hospital in Portland. His car rammed an oncoming truck trailer that had jack-knifed into his lane at about 1 p.m. Thursday about a mile north of Hermiston. Melvin F. Keely, 32, of Hermiston was driving northbound on 395 when a car stopped abruptly in front of him, forcing him to slam on the brakes of his semi- truck and causing his trailer to swing into the southbound lane, according to a Umatilla County Sheriff’s report. THIS DAY IN HISTORY DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART Today is the 293rd day of 2015. There are 72 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On October 20, 1965, in one of the more colorful moments of his presidency, Lyndon B. Johnson, recov- ering from gall bladder surgery at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, pulled up his shirt and jacket to show off his abdominal scar to reporters and photographers. (Although critics were appalled by the display, Johnson later said he was trying to dispel rumors that he’d actually been operated on for cancer.)
