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 July 25-26, 1916 Pendleton was in darkness last night for thirty minutes as a result of a ire at Adams. The local ofice of the Paciic Power and Light Company received a call from Adams about 8:30 o’clock stating that the sub-station at Adams was on ire. A crew of men rushed to Adams at once where the pole near the John Adams home had taken ire from a wire off the insulator. This, in turn had caught the sub-station on ire. When the light men reached Adams a wire carrying 11,000 volts of electricity was hanging within four feet of the ground. The top of the pole which carries the power from Adams was cut off and Adams was without lights most of the night. The wires carrying the Pendleton juice were repaired in a short time. A new pole will be installed at the scene of the ire today. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 25-26, 1966 Lt. C.T. Jessup Jr., in charge of the operations division of the Pendleton Police Department, iled his resignation from the department with city manager Rudy Enbysk today. He issued a release to the news media and to the police chief, Ernest Gallaher, and suggested an investigation of the operations of the police department by the city manager and council. It was understood that Jessup’s resignation followed a meeting of 13 police oficers, all of rank below sergeant, who requested that he be relieved of his command. It was generally believed by observers at city hall that the resignation and request resulted from personality conditions and did not in any way relect on the integrity of the police department or its oficers and men. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 25-26, 1991 Michelle Staunton’s long legs and graceful runway bearing were a big hit with agents at the International Models Talent Associ- ation convention in New York. Michelle, a 15-year-old Hermiston High School student, recently returned from a 10-day trip that was “the experience of a lifetime,” she said. Christiev Carothers Modeling Agency of Medford invited Michelle to the convention after looking over pictures from her portfolio. The seven events Michelle entered included swimsuit, runway, jeans, best smile, commer- cial print, fashion print and commercial. Out of more than 3,000 models competing at the convention, Michelle placed in the top 15 in the swimsuit, runway and jeans events. Michelle has received calls from 12 agents who were interested in her work.
