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 Nov. 9, 1918 When official news of the German sur- render to the Foch armistice terms comes the city fire bell will sound a general alarm, whether by day or night. This was announced today by Fire Chief Ringold. The time limit for the German reply is 11 o’clock Monday, French time. This means 3 o’clock Monday morning, Pendleton time. Hence the news may arrive at most any time between now and Sunday morning. There is of course a possibility that official announcement may not be made until later than here predicted. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 9, 1968 Like all the fruit growers in the valley below, the mountain people operating Spout Springs Ski Area and nearby Tollgate Moun- tain Chalet are undismayed by the failure of last winter’s “snow crop,” and are confi- dently preparing for a “real good winter this year.” In fact Pete and Ester Eyraud of Spout Springs and Julius and Shirley Scofield at the Chalet are beaming about a “really won- derful summer” and say that, anyway, “all signs — including Indian signs — point to an early, frosty, snowy winter.” Says Ester Eyraud, “Lots of berries on the trees, heavy growth of fat pine cones, birds flying south in August all point to a winter of deep snow. We’re getting set, just as the birds and ani- mals are!” 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 9, 1993 The Hermiston High School marching band won first place in its division at the University of Oregon Festival of Bands. With a sweep of first places in three regional events this fall, Hermiston solidified its position as the Northwest’s best marching band for schools with enrollment of 800 to 1,200 students. Early in October, Hermis- ton won the AA division of the Cavalcade of Bands in weekend competition at Edgar Brown Memorial Stadium in Pasco. Herm- iston also won best drum major at the event. Next the Hermiston band placed first at the Puget Sound Championships at Snohomish, Wash. At Autzen Stadium in Eugene Satur- day, Hermiston won the AA division for the fifth or sixth time in a row. Hermiston has failed to make the final round of a compe- tition only once in the past 10 years at the University of Oregon. 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. 9, 1938, Nazis looted and burned syn- agogues as well as Jew- ish-owned stores and houses in Germany and Austria in a pogrom or deliberate perse- cution that became known as “Kristallnacht.” In 1620, the passengers and crew of the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod. In 1961, The Beat- les’ future manager, Brian Epstein, first saw the group perform at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. In 1967, a Saturn V rocket carrying an unmanned Apollo spacecraft blasted off from Cape Kennedy on a successful test flight. In 1970, former French President Charles de Gaulle died at age 79. In 1976, the U.N. Gen- eral Assembly approved resolutions condemning apartheid in South Africa, including one characterizing the white-ruled government as “illegitimate.” In 1989, communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West; joyous Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall. In 1999, with fireworks, concerts and a huge party at the landmark Brandenburg Gate, Germany celebrated the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 2000, George W. Bush’s lead over Al Gore in all-or-nothing Florida slipped beneath 300 votes in a suspense-filled recount, as Democrats threw the presidential election to the courts, claiming “an injus- tice unparalleled in our history.” In 2007, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf of Paki- stan placed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto under house arrest for a day, and rounded up thousands of her supporters to block a mass rally against his emergency rule.
