There will be cash prizes this year of $3, $2 and $1. All articles exhibited must be made, prepared or grown by the exhibitor and no person will be allowed to com- pete for more than three prizes. The two boys scoring the highest in any state pro- ject will be given a free trip to the State Fair, which begins on Sept. 27. At the request of a delega- tion of citizens who waited on the City Council Monday, Mayor Dumble has pro- claimed Wednesday, May 5, a holiday in order that all who which may take part in the jaunt to the Celilo Canal to witness the celebration. All planning to go must have their names in by Saturday, May 1 at 6 p.m. Extra cars will be at- tached to train No. 2 leaving Hood River at 10:35 a.m. and arriving at The Dalles at 11:20. 1925 — 90 years ago A Dee resident has discov- ered that not only is it theoret- ically impossible to mix moonshine and gasoline, any experimentations along these lines is costly. The man was picked up by local officers last weekend after putting this auto through a number of stunts which could only be pulled by a man under the in- fluence of liquor. Taking the view that the man was very drunk while at the wheel, Judge Blagg passed the follow- cers Young and Mann, of the Oregon State Liquor commis- sion and State Officers Uren and Raney, together with Deputy Sheriff Brown, with- out any warning, raided the Checker Board rooming house, located in the same building and found plenty of evidence. The operator of the rooming house was fined $200, with $5 in costs and given a four months’ jail sentence. 1945 — 70 years ago Sometime over the past week end, the office of Park Street school was broken into and, apparently in a search for money, the school records were scattered over the floor. However, the thieves secured only 50 cents in money. Later it developed that efforts had also been made to break into Coe primary and junior high, but the thieves had probably been disturbed. While there is still consider- able work to be done, the new Rialto Theater will open for its first show on May 4, ac- cording to Will Gamble, who was up from Portland this week to set up the opening date. For the past four months, some of the best interior con- struction and decoration men from Portland have been con- tinuously at work in the pro- duction of a theater which will easily be the most mod- ern in upstate Oregon, and one that will be appreciated by patrons of the Mid-Columbia area. 1955 — 60 years ago May 9 is the kick-off date for the $425,000 Hood River Memorial Hospi- tal financial drive, E.R. Poo- ley announces this week. Pooley, who is chairman of the advanced gifts division, said that volun- teer workers for this committee will be organized in a few days and he gave the tenta- tive opening cam- paign date as May 10.

At that time, hands of clocks should be moved ahead one hour. The time change is provided by Ore- gon statute after a long con- fused time in which many Oregon towns were split be- tween daylight and standard time. 1975 — 40 years ago Port of Hood River com- missioners Monday ap- proved exploring free bridge tolls for senior citizens, and set up a committee to seek some sort of program “with- in 60 days.” If the program proves feasible, it will be the first time the bridge tolls have been waived on the in- terstate bridge in such a manner. Comfor table walking shoes will be the order of the day Saturday for the third annual Hood River March of Dimes Walkathon fund rais- ing campaign.

Hood River Valley High stu- dents Janet Chrisman, Doug Hopkins and Terry Lambert won top awards at the recent Northwest Science Exposi- tion. Twenty-one local stu- dents competed in science-re- lated contests during the two- day event.

Cold, because the records show frost forecast- ing started earlier than ever before because of bud devel- opment, and unusual for many reasons — not the least is that despite the large num- ber of cold nights, damage appeared to be minimal. Hood River’s Urban Re- newal Agency’s budget com- mittee Thursday approved a $1.8 million budget that will, among other projects, fi- nance reconstruction of Sec- ond Street between Cascade and State avenues. Thursday was the budget commission’s only session. The document now goes to the urban renew- al agency for June adoption. Second Street would be simi- lar to Cascade Avenue, with wide sidewalks, landscaping and raised crosswalks, as proposed. Included is a de- sign for the proposed Over- look Memorial Park, which would be located at the top of Second Street, south of State Avenue. 2005 — 10 years ago Ground was broken Mon- d ay f o r t h e G e o r g i a n a Smith Memorial Park pro- ject, which will expand the library grounds into an ad- joining lot west and create new landscaping with addi- tional paths and seating areas, while keeping the popular open lawn area. Virginia Hosford, Library Foundation member, told the 30-40 people who came to celebrate the event that the project was the culmi- nation of the ef forts of many people. Sen. Rick Metsger walked into Rep. Patti Smith’s of- fice with a tasty treat on Monday to celebrate their fruitful victory. Metsger, D- Mt. Hood, delivered a Bosc and an Anjou pear to the of- fice of his Republican team- mate — along with some good news. Metsger had just gotten the full Senate to ap- prove the pear as Oregon’s official state fruit. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer VERBATIM Company D Blocks Road During Alert Unit 80 Per Cent Mobilized In Hour Company D of the Ore- gon National Guard was 80 per cent mobilized in less than an hour Wednesday night after a surprise na- tionwide alert, “Operation Minuteman.” First Lieu- tenant Burdett Kindred, company commander, said the local company was alerted at 5:15 p.m. to throw up a partial road block on Highway 30 east of the interstate bridge. Company D constructed a crude road block out of barb wire, logs and timber across part of the highway and traffic was slowed in the area. Local guard equipment, including an air compressor, as used to cut up the timbers and to break boulders with a jack hammer near the Colum- bia River bank. “In three hours the local company was 93 per cent mobilized,” Kindred said. This consists of 37 men out of 40 plus officers. He said, “I am well pleased with the way the alert was carried out, the repose of the public and the people participating. A special compliment would go to the radio station for cooperating and assisting in giving the general alert and in calling for certain individuals,” he said. “We feel that our unit’s participation in the recent alert has made our citizens in this area more aware of the services the guard ren- ders in peace as well as in war,” Kindred said. “The valley may rest assured that it can be protected during an emergency. “Fortunately, this was only a test alert,” the com- mander continued. “There might be a time, however, when we would mobilize to protect the community against an armed enemy or to help civilian agen- cies cope with fires, floods, storms or other disasters.” Company D is the object of a community-spon- sored recruitment pro- gram to add up to 50 new members before the unit leaves for summer camp in June. — Hood River News, April 22, 1955
