DAYS GONE BY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 4-5, 1916 Fully 10,000 people gathered in the grandstand and bleachers at Round-Up Park yesterday afternoon for the sports program, the largest crowd ever assembled there save at a Round-Up. Though disappointed in the big “death defying thriller,” owing to an unfortunate accident, they enjoyed the many other events which were pulled off. The mishap to the “thriller” happened just when the event was announced. The big Michigan auto, one of the two that was to meet in the collision, took ire. Gasoline and gunpowder had been sprinkled over it so that it would take ire at the collision but the carefully laid plans were undone when the gasoline took ire just as the driver was starting. Pyrene failed to put out the blaze and the car was then wheeled out up the track and the other car was driven by Ed Wright about the track and squarely into the burning machine. Both took ire and burned iercely. The Michigan was a total wreck but the engine of the other was not damaged. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 4-5, 1966 Deinitely the feminine type, Jimmy Lynn Wilkins, Pendleton, would be a great addition to any boys’ PE class or ROTC training class. She has been invited. “Jim,” as her family calls her, was placed in a boys’ PE class twice in her last two years of high school. Recently her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Rae Wilkins, Pendleton, received a letter from the Army asking them to urge their son (Jimmy) to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the ROTC. She will be a freshman next year at Washington State University. At the moment she is awaiting her 18th birthday and a draft notice. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 4-5, 1991 The most populated county in the East Central Oregon Association of Counties has declared its intent to leave the strife-ridden council of governments. The Umatilla County Commission on Wednesday sent a letter to the ECOAC board of directors stating its intent to withdraw as soon as legally possible. The commissioners have long sought the dismissal or resignation of Otto Schmid, ECOAC’s executive director.
