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 April 13, 1918 Pendleton has a chance to become head- quarters for the eastern Oregon company of state police but some effort will probably have to be made to secure their location here inas- much as other eastern Oregon cities are urging their claims. There will be but one company in eastern Oregon and only a part of the company will be kept in each city. However, the company officers will maintain headquarters in one of the principal cities of this part of the state. Deputy Sheriff Jake Marin this morning received letters from Major Deich and Captain Williams relative to securing recruits from this city and county. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian April 13, 1968 When Bertha Anderson, 504 N.E. Despain, woke up this morning and looked out the window, she saw a jungle of ice. Trees were weighed down with icicles and the ground was white. The automatic sprinklers had not shut off last night and the water had frozen on the lawn, plants and trees. It was the coldest night ever recorded on this date. The U.S. Weather 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 Bureau at the airport recorded a low of 25 degrees, breaking the record of 30. Downtown Pendleton had a low of 20, breaking the record of 21 in 1911. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian April 13, 1993 Bones and tools uncovered near Stanfield by crews digging the line for a natural gas pipe- line have been dated to about 240 years ago. Several weeks ago archaeological observers on the pipeline project spotted a bone while crews were digging about 10 miles south of Stanfield in the Butter Creek drainage. Paleontologists examined the bone and further digging revealed tools, which is when archaeologists got involved in the site. The find is believed to be an animal processing area used by American Indians, said Tom Marteau, a cultural resource specialist. Martin helps the company managing the pipeline project, Bectell, enforce environ- mental laws regulating the digging. More than 1,000 bones were unearthed in nine days of digging. Most were cracked, broken and often burned, which led researchers to conclude it was likely the bones themselves that were being processed, said Clay Lebow, field work coordinator for Infotech. On April 13, 1943, Pres- ident Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., on the 200th anniver- sary of the third American president’s birth.

Samuel Argall in the Virginia Colony. (During a yearlong captivity, Poca- hontas converted to Christi- anity and ultimately opted to stay with the English.) In 1743, the third pres- ident of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, was born in Shadwell in the Virginia Colony. In 1861, at the start of the Civil War, Fort Sumter in South Carolina fell to Confederate forces. In 1953, “Casino Royale,” Ian Fleming’s first book as well as the first James Bond novel, was published in London by Jonathan Cape Ltd. In 1964, Sidney Poitier became the first black performer in a leading role to win an Academy Award for his performance in “Lilies of the Field.” In 1970, Apollo 13, four-fifths of the way to the moon, was crippled when a tank containing liquid oxygen burst. (The astronauts managed to return safely.) In 1986, Pope John Paul II visited the Great Synagogue of Rome in the first recorded papal visit of its kind to a Jewish house of worship.
