DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 29, 1915 The second game of the grade school foot- ball league was played yesterday afternoon at the Round-up park with the Hawthorne eleven lined up against the Lincolnites. The game was fast and exciting with wide end runs the main feature. Owing to superior weight and team work the Hawthorne school carried away the contest by a score of 33 to 0. This game places the west end team in a ¿nal run for the pennant. The next game will be played between the north side and the high school Midgets, No. 2. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 29, 1965 The ¿rst mobile x-ray unit in the North- west with a solid-state electronic timer was set up Wednesday at Umatilla Hospital. Spence Simons from Richland, with the X-Ray Department of General Electric, said the 200-milliampere unit now in use here was among the ¿rst 10 produced with solid-state timers by GE at Milwaukee, Wis. It was the ¿rst such unit delivered to the Northwest, BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN he said. The new unit eliminates all tubes previously used and its transistorized circuits make for more accurate timings, he added. While the older unit couldn’t penetrate larger portions of anatomy for x-rays, the new one can, thus making it a better diagnostic aid to doctors. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 29, 1990 Historian Joseph Sanchez says people plan- ning to celebrate the bicentennial of Robert Gray’s exploration of the Columbia River shouldn’t overlook an unknown explorer in Northwest history — Bruno de Heceta. Speaking to Hispanic students in Hermiston Saturday, Sanchez showed maps he found in Spanish archives that document de Heceta’s expedition to the river’s mouth in 1775, or 17 years before Gray. Sanchez, director of the Spanish Colonial Research Center at Albu- querque, N.M., said de Heceta sailed 12 miles inland in his ship the Santiago and named the river “Entrada de Heceta.” In textbooks, Gray, a sea captain born in Rhode Island, is credited with discovering the Columbia River in 1792 and naming it after his ship. THIS DAY IN HISTORY Today is the 302nd day of 2015. There are 63 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 29, 1940, a blindfolded Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson drew the ¿rst number — 15 — from a glass bowl in Amer- ica’s ¿rst peacetime military draft. On this date: In 1618, Sir Walter Raleigh, the English courtier, military adventurer and poet, was executed in London for treason. In 1787, the opera “Don Giovanni” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had its world premiere in Prague. In 1929, Wall Street crashed on “Black Tuesday,” heralding the start of Ameri- ca’s Great Depression. In 1956, during the Suez Canal crisis, Israel invaded Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. “The Huntley-Brinkley Report” premiered as NBC’s nightly television newscast. In 1964, thieves made off with the Star of India and other gems from the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History in New York. (The Star and most of the other gems were recovered; three men were convicted of stealing them.) In 1966, the National Organization for Women was formally organized during a conference in Washington, D.C. In 1979, on the 50th anni- versary of the great stock market crash, anti-nuclear protesters tried but failed to shut down the New York Stock Exchange. In 1994, Francisco Martin Duran ¿red more than two dozen shots from a semiautomatic riÀe at the White House. (Duran was later convicted of trying to assassinate President Bill Clinton and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.) In 2012, Superstorm Sandy came ashore in New Jersey and slowly marched inland, devastating coastal communities and causing widespread power outages; the storm and its aftermath are blamed for at least 12 deaths in the U.S. Today’s Birthdays: Blue- grass singer-musician Sonny Osborne (The Osborne Brothers) is 7. Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is 77. Country singer Lee Clayton is 73. Rock musician Denny Laine is 71. Singer Melba Moore is 70. Musician Peter Green is 69. Actor Richard Dreyfuss is 6. Actress .ate Jackson is 67. The former president of Turkey, Abdullah Gul, is 65. Actor Dan Castellaneta (TV: “The Simpsons”) is 5. Comic strip artist Tom Wilson (“=iggy”) is 5. Singer Randy Jackson is 54. Rapper Paris is 4. Actress Winona Ryder is 44. Rock musician Chris Baio (Vampire Weekend) is 31. Thought for Today: “Put it before them brieÀy so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.”— Joseph Pulitzer, American newspaper publisher (born 1847, died this date in 1911).
