DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS <earV Ago FroP the EaVt OregonLan OFt Within the last few weeks the pay-roll in Pendleton has been increased by $50 a day through the operation of a plant here for the preparation of sand and gravel for use in cement and on road construction. This plant has been installed by A.H. &o[, manager of the Oregon Lumber Yard. Up to this time, all sand and gravel used in the city has been secured from Umatilla. With the operation of a local plant the cost has been greatly reduced through eliminating freight charges, and at the same time the plant has been a bene¿t to Pendleton through adding to its pay-roll. <earV Ago FroP the EaVt OregonLan OFt 6 The Indian Arts and Craft Society, orga- nized last spring on the Umatilla Reservation, has begun its schedule of fall classes. Bead and feather work, leather craft and other classes in Indian handiwork will be held each Friday at Mission Community Hall. The society was organized to teach the old skills to younger Indians, said Gilbert Minthorn, Blue Mountain College student who is acting as publicity agent for the group. “Tourists have come to Mission, and looked for a place to buy Indian souve- nirs,” he said. “They seem puzzled when they are told there aren’t any.” Minthorn said the society hopes eventually to set up a souvenir shop at Mission. A trademark will be acquired, to combat the factory-made imitations. <earV Ago FroP the EaVt OregonLan OFt More than 100 unmarried Umatilla County teen-agers had babies in 1989, helping make the county’s rate of unwed mothers the second highest in the state. The 42 percent increase over the previous year in births to unwed mothers in Umatilla County was nearly three times the rate statewide, according to statistics released by the Health Division of the Oregon Department of Human Resources. For the year, Umatilla County trailed only Jefferson County in the rate of unwed mothers at 341 per 1,000 births. Those statistics point out the need for family planning and se[ education, health of¿cials say.
