DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 20, 1916 For an industry that has been in opera- tion only 60 days, the Stanield Creamery, managed by A. Sahli, is making a splendid record of usefulness to the Stanield commu- nity and to the Furnish project and tributary territory. The creamery is manufacturing 200 pounds of butter daily and yesterday manu- factured 475 pounds of cheese. A shipment of 600 pounds of cheese was made to Pendleton merchants during the day. The creamery is also turning out 50 gallons of ice cream daily. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 20, 1966 Cowboy hats are “in” again for the Round-Up City’s police force. The style change from uniform caps came last night when the Pendleton City Council voted 5-2 on a motion by Robert McKellar. Two years ago the council, after long discussion, told the police department to wear uniform caps in the interests of eficiency and economy. One of the opponents to the change at that time, councilman William Stram, last night in a letter asked the return to cowboy hats. McKellar’s motion said money to make the switch to furnish each policeman with cowboy hats could come from the contingency fund if necessary. “Reclaim the western atmo- sphere,” Stram said in his letter. “Pendleton has had a million dollars worth of advertising as a western city.” 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 20, 1991 If you have a question about the weather at Heppner the past 100 years, the National Weather Service has the answer. The south Morrow County town was recently recognized for 100 continuous years of weather record keeping. Heppner is one of only 11 Oregon weather stations to qualify for the 100-year award. George Miller of the National Weather Service’s Portland ofice present plaques highlighting the honor earlier this week.
