DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 22, 1916 Heavy frosts have done considerable damage to both crops and gardens within the last two weeks at Ukiah. Completely killing grain and being followed by some very warm days after the frosts makes it very hard on the damaged crops. And unless we get rain soon hay crops here will be very short. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 22, 1966 A group home for teen-age boys, inanced entirely by a federal program, won approval of the Umatilla County Public Welfare Commission Tuesday. Pat Eaton, welfare administrator, said the group home is needed because foster homes for teen-age boys are very dificult to ind. The federal program provides that operators of the home will be paid a total of $181 a month for the care of each boy, far above the state and local payment for foster care of $73 for teen-agers. The relatively high payment is expected to provide incentive for a couple to provide the home. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 22, 1991 Scientists and researchers from around the nation have locked to Boardman to try to get a better understanding of climate and how to predict its changes.
