DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 8, 1918 The Spanish influenza emergency hospi- tal is maintained by the city with the co-op- eration of the Umatilla county Red Cross, says the committee in charge. For this rea- son it is necessary that all parties who have sufficient funds to pay hospital bills do so, but those who have not will be admitted free of charge. Were it purely a Red Cross hospi- tal, all patients would receive treatment free of charge. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 8, 1968 It will be homecoming at Hermiston High School Friday night when Coach Bob George’s Bulldogs host the league leading Pendleton Buckaroos in an Intermountain Conference season closing football game, but the usual hilarity has been stilled some- what. The tragic automobile accident the first of the week which already has claimed two lives toned down the usual joyousness of the occasion, although some of the pro- gram still will be carried out. George, com- ing off an up and down season in which his Bulldogs at times have played excellent and effective football, hopes to be able to halt the onward march of Coach Don Requa’s Buck- aroos, but admits it poses problems. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 8, 1993 Two people tried to dig up a grave at the Weston Cemetery Thursday night, but the diggers didn’t get past the concrete slab that covers the grave, according to the Uma- tilla County Sheriff’s Office. Lt. Ron Har- nden said sheriff’s deputies found tracks that indicate two suspects tried to break into the grave of a woman who was just bur- ied in September. “Luckily they didn’t get the top off,” Harnden said, adding that the woman’s husband visits the grave daily with flowers. Harden said he doesn’t know what the motive for the attempted grave rob- bery might be. Three headstones were also knocked over at the cemetery. BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE THIS DAY IN HISTORY DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN On Nov. 8, 2016, Repub- lican Donald Trump was elected America’s 45th pres- ident, defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton in an aston- ishing victory for a celeb- rity businessman and politi- cal novice. Republicans kept their majorities in the Senate and House. In 1892, former President Grover Cleveland defeated incumbent Benjamin Harri- son, becoming the first (and, to date, only) chief execu- tive to win non-consecutive terms to the White House. In 1932, New York Democratic Gov. Frank- lin D. Roosevelt defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover for the presidency. In 1950, during the Korean War, the first jet- plane battle took place as U.S. Air Force Lt. Russell J. Brown shot down a North Korean MiG-15. In 1960, Massachu- setts Sen. John F. Kennedy defeated Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the presidency. In 1966, Edward W. Brooke (R-Mass.) became the first black candidate to be elected to the U.S. Senate by popular vote. In 1972, the premium cable TV network HBO (Home Box Office) made its debut with a showing of the movie “Sometimes a Great Notion.” In 1987, 11 people were killed when an Irish Repub- lican Army bomb exploded as crowds gathered in Enni- skillen, Northern Ireland, for a ceremony honoring Brit- ain’s war dead. In 1994, midterm elec- tions resulted in Republicans winning a majority in the Senate while at the same time gaining control of the House for the first time in 40 years. In 2000, a statewide recount began in Florida, which emerged as critical in deciding the winner of the 2000 presidential election. Earlier that day, Vice Presi- dent Al Gore had telephoned Texas Gov. George W. Bush to concede, but called back about an hour later to retract his concession. Waco spe- cial counsel John C. Dan- forth released his final report absolving the government of wrongdoing in the 1993 siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Texas. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Alain Delon is 83.
