DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 7, 1916 The latest addition to the high school equipment, “The Forging Building,” has now been completed. Classes were held for the ¿rst time yesterday. The building, which was built by the two classes in this work, shows remark- able skill on the part of the students and also the school. It shows the work accomplished in manual training and drawing departments under Prof. Chloupek. The installation, which was completed yesterday, includes the forges, blower, e[hauster and an emery grinder. The machinery is all electrically operated. The course in this branch of work takes up all kinds of farm forgery, such as welding of different materials, the heating and tempering of steel, the different grades of iron and steel and the process involved in their manufacture. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 7, 1966 A Pilot Rock couple, Mr. and Mrs. Elvis Frank, has been sentenced to 60 days in the Umatilla County Jail by District Judge Henry Kaye for neglecting their children. The case came to light when Pendleton police found three Frank children, ages 8, 7 and 6, wandering here Saturday. Checking, Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Jones found three more youngsters unattended at the family’s home, including a three-month-old baby who had to be hospitalized because of diaper burns. A three-year-old and a one-year-old were with the baby. They had been alone since Friday. Police found Frank, 27, in the Mission area, and his wife, Carol, in Rieth. The children have been placed in shelter care and a hearing on their future care has been scheduled. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 7, 1991 Oregon State Police have charged a 16-year-old with arson in connection with a ¿re that burned his parents’ Southwest Si[th Street home last week. The ¿re appears to be the latest in a string of ¿res involving the family’s property. Police on Friday arrested Jason Biiss, son of Harry and Billie Bliss, just days after their home on 828 S.W. Si[th Street was e[tensively damaged by ¿re. The Bliss family had recently moved into the home after a ¿re destroyed their mobile home on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in October. Information was sketchy on the history of ¿re involving the Bliss’ property, but a state ¿re of¿cial who refused to identify himself con¿rmed he investigated two ¿res in the last year involving the family’s property. THIS DAY IN HISTORY DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN Today is the seventh day of 2016. There are 359 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 7, 1789, America held its ¿rst presidential election as voters chose electors who, a month later, selected George Washington to be the nation’s ¿rst chief e[ecutive. On this date: In 1610, astronomer Galileo Galilei began observing three of Jupiter’s moons (he spotted a fourth moon almost a week later). In 1800, the 13th pres- ident of the United States, Millard Fillmore, was born in Summerhill, New York. In 1904, the Marconi International Marine Communication Company of London announced that the telegraphed letters “CQD” would serve as a maritime distress call (it was later replaced with “SOS”). In 1927, commercial transatlantic telephone service was inaugurated between New York and London. In 1942, the Japanese siege of Bataan began during World War II. (The fall of Bataan three months later was followed by the notorious Death March.) In 1949, George C. Marshall resigned as U.S. Secretary of State; President Harry S. Truman chose Dean Acheson to succeed him. In 1959, the United States recognized the new government of Cuba, si[ days after Fidel Castro led the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista. In 1979, Vietnamese forces captured the Cambo- dian capital of Phnom Penh, overthrowing the Khmer Rouge government. In 1999, for the second time in history, an impeached American pres- ident went on trial before the Senate. President Bill Clinton faced charges of perjury and obstruction of justice; he was acquitted. Today’s Birthdays: Author William Peter Blatty is 88. Magazine publisher Jann Wenner is 70.
