DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 10-11, 1917 Fifty deputy fire wardens armed with full authority to protect property from incendiary fires and working under a leader whose identity is secret are to aid the local officers in a campaign to prevent any damage to grain or other property during the summer. The arrangements for the special deputies were made here today by Fire Marshal Harvey K. Wells and Chief Fire Warden Jay Stevens. The men came up from Salem for the purpose of investigating the situation and during the day they have been in consultation with local officials and prominent farmers. It is known that while there are some suspicious characters here they are not numerous and some of those here have departed because of preparations made here for defense against possible lawlessness. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 10-11, 1967 Pendleton’s Christine Marie Beach, who took Seaside by storm Saturday and captured the Miss Oregon crown, is now setting her THIS DAY IN HISTORY BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN sights on Atlantic City and the Miss America Pageant.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 11, 1767, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, was born in Brain- tree, Massachusetts. On this date: In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-es- tablished by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Weehawken, New Jersey. (Hamilton died the next day.) In 1922, the Hollywood Bowl officially opened with a program called “Sympho- nies Under the Stars” with Alfred Hertz conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1937, American composer and pianist George Gershwin died at a Los Angeles hospital of a brain tumor; he was 38. In 1952, the Republican National Convention, meeting in Chicago, nomi- nated Dwight D. Eisen- hower for president and Richard M. Nixon for vice president. In 1955, the U.S. Air Force Academy swore in its first class of cadets at its temporary quarters at Lowry Air Force Base in Colorado. In 1960, the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was first published by J.B. Lippincott and Co.
