DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 26, 1917 Pendleton’s cavalry troop of rough riding cowboys began today the process of evolution which is destined to develop them from raw recruits into seasoned soldiers. The rhythmic tread of their marching feet has been sounding upon the pavements of West Webb and West Alta streets all day today as the drillmasters put them through the various movements of dismounted drill. Though they have not yet received any equipment and still wear their civilian clothes, the members of the troop are now under army regulations and will have a daily routine to perform. Guard mount will be started this evening and all night long sentries will walk their beats about the four sides of Happy Canyon pavilion. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 26, 1967 In 1917, Sister Mary Ixida was one of four young Catholic girls who took her vows in the order of the Sisters of Saint Francis. Three of the girls celebrated their silver jubilee (25 years) in 1942, but only Sister Ixida is still living to celebrate 50 years as a sister — her golden jubilee. Sister Ixida flew to Glenriddle, Penn., where the motherhouse is located, to attend a High Mass for all the jubilation sisters. “There were three diamond jubilees for 60 years in the order,” said Sister Ixida, “but only one was able to attend.” 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian July 26, 1992 Jim Harvey experienced a new feeling while golfing recently. He watched his golf ball sail through his windshield. Jim, a salesman for Pendleton Ford, was accompanied by golfing partner Pete Perkins at Pendleton Country Club. Teeing off on the 10th hole, Jim unexpectedly sent the ball crashing through the pickup’s window. The ball traveled 175 yards long and 80 yards to the right to accomplish the feat. Jim didn’t golf well after that. “It was the most expensive game I’ve ever played,” he said.
