Georgiana Smith Memorial Park expanding in 2005
1915 — 100 years ago
County School Superinten-
dent Thompson has this week
announced the premium list
for the school children’s fair to
be held Sept. 18. 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.

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.
