Columbia Gorge News www.columbiagorgenews.com Wednesday, July 21, 2021 B5 HISTORY VERBATIM No Graduation In Grade School inappropriate, since students are only at the mid-point of their mandatory education careers. They added that many parents object to the graduation clothes that have to be purchased for young- sters who do not wear them much after that — and out- grow them within months. — Hood River News, July 20, 1961 There’s no more gradua- tion ceremonies in the grade schools of School District 1, the district board of directors decided this week. They voted to abolish the former practice of gradua- tion ceremonies for eighth grade students and some six grade ceremonies that have been held. Members of the board said they thought the grade school graduation was Girl Hoboes Taken By Police Big Sale is the message at the Grace Ralph Store as they prepare to go out of business in 1955.

The Dalles Optimist/file YESTERYEARS 1921 — 100 years ago Many local auto owners have recently noticed that outside cars from other states are now carrying a plate bearing the name of their home city above their license tags. As the innova- tion is a useful one, the local Post of the American Legion has ordered a supply for Hood River and will, in the near future, place them on the market. The name “Hood River” is in white on a blue background. — Hood River News A gasoline service station at the corner of Third and Liberty streets would be an asset instead of a liability to that part of the city, accord- ing to an answer filed in the circuit court today ... in reply to the complaint filed several days ago by J.T. Rorick and M.A. Moody asking for a per- manent injunction against the construction of a service station. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle 1941 — 80 years ago Through a majority sale of av- alanche lilies, Joan Marble, sponsored by the local Elks, has been selected Queen of the Legion Mount Hood Climb and will preside over the royal court at the program Saturday night in Legion Camp.

Trees bordering on roads or in clean-cultivated orchards show the most sunscald and fruit on trees with light foli- age also suffered. — Hood River News The Diesel tug Mary Gail, pioneer in the barging of petroleum products to upper Columbia River points, was destroyed by fire Saturday at Attalia, Wash., accord- ing to word received here today. Origin of the fire was unknown. Captain C.C. Light and members of his crew lost all of their personal effects. But for the presence of another tug, the Invader, wheat and oil barges at- tached to the front and rear of the Mary Gail also would have burned, it was reported. The Invader succeeded in hooking on and pulling the two barges to safety. — The Hardened Youngsters from Yakima Intercepted On Hike To Portland Travel worn and covered with dust from head to foot from hiking virtually the en- tire distance from Yakima to The Dalles, Ethel Lagerwell and Ruth Carter, 16 and 17 years old, respectively, were arrested by police here this afternoon. The police believe that the girls ran away from home, although the girls insist their parents know where they are and are perfectly willing that they continue the hike to Portland, their destination. Despite their extreme youth, both are so “hard- boiled” that even the most hardened habitues of the city hall were shocked upon hearing them talk. Both use profanity fluently. One of the girls declared that both had at one time worked as “stool-pigeons” for a private detective. Telegrams were sent to the girls’ parents by the police this afternoon in an effort to see whether or not their stories are true. They are being held in the county jail pending answer to the telegrams. The girls left Yakima Monday, they said, walk- ing and riding the entire distance to The Dalles. They spent last night in Goldendale, being assist- ed in their journey to The Dalles by rides given by friendly motorists. They wear coveralls, with boys’ shoes and caps and a second glance is required to tell whether they are girls or boys. The police arrested the girls upon the suspicion that they were members of a party that escaped from the Cedars near Portland several days ago. — July 21, 1921, The Dalles Daily Chronicle GLOBAL HEADLINES New Fire Nozzle — Dennis Bonny of the Pine Grove Fire Department manned a new high pressure del- uge nozzle during fire drill Tuesday evening at Moore Orchards on Highway 35.

No one was injured seriously in the grinding pileup, but the truck driver, shocked by his harrowing experience, was taken to a White Salmon hospital in a state of collapse. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle 1981 — 40 years ago Construction of a 2.5- mile detour link between the Hood River Valley and Highway 35 is running ahead of schedule, and paving is expected to start next Monday, according to County Commission Chairman Elmer Murray.

More than 30 local skateboarders of all ages put on a dynamic show of speed and high flying maneuvers. Mikey Burton of Hood River wowed the crowd with his unique skating style and walked away with a first place in the 16 and over di- vision — and $100 cash and a pair of sunglasses. — Hood River News The previous relative trickle of federal money to Gorge recreational areas may become a torrent this coming fiscal year.
