Jock is appearing in a soldier show known as “Hello, Broadway,” which is said to be one of the best ever produced by the A.E.F. It formed one of the main features of Pershing’s entertainment when he visited Le Mans. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 18, 1969 No objections to establishment of sce- nic areas along state highways in five East- ern Oregon counties was voiced in Heppner Monday. Request for the creation the new scenic areas was made earlier to the Scenic Area Board of the State of Oregon by the Oregon Roadside Council. Monday’s meet- ing at the courthouse was the formal hear- ing on these requests. Possibly because of last week’s flood, the hearing drew little local interest, with only Morrow County Judge Paul Jones and reporters attending from Morrow County. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 18, 1994 A state audit of the Umatilla/Morrow pub- lic defender’s office uncovered improper use of public funds and sloppy or non-existent record keeping. The audit recommends the public defender’s office repay the state more than $80,000 and that a team of state attor- neys investigate the quality of legal counsel given to clients. The financial audit, dated June 10, 1994, was conducted by the office of the State Court Administrator. It exam- ines a 16-month period from July 1, 1992, through last October. It was initiated by alle- gations made last fall of misuse of UMPDS contract funds. It does not say who made the allegations.
