My sister for this condition so I can talk with did not plan or pay for any part of the funeral. After the service ended, I told the attendees to take what they wanted to relatives who had asked for them. My sister became so upset she even searched their vehicles to find the plants her friend had sent. Mom received a lot of flowers that day.

DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 21-22, 1919 Twice a champion is Yakima Canutt, broncho buster extraor- dinaire and all around cowboy. Canutt on Saturday won the world’s championship bucking contest by riding No-Name and for the second time, holds that title. He is the only man in ten Round-Ups to repeat. Not a man had scratched No-Name in three days when Yak entered the finals on the supreme bucker. Canutt was out for vengeance, however, and got it, for in the finals at Calgary this same No-Name gave Yak the twist that showed him earth. It was a beautiful ride that the title winner made and the announcement of the judges sent the record crowd into an uproar. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 21-22, 1969 For the first time in 10 years an Oregonian will receive Future Farmers of Ameria’s highest award, the Honorary American Farmer degree, at the national FFA convention, Oct. 11-18, at Kansas City. Walden W. Wedin — known as “Wally” even to the “pretty close to a thousand” students he has taught voca- tional agriculture during his 26 years at McLoughlin Union High School — is one of 25 teachers, business and industrial men to qualify for the degree this year. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 21-22, 1994 Weston-McEwen High School musicians will trade Eastern Oregon’s wide open spaces for Southern California’s crowded streets. The band from Athena-Weston School District will per- form for the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. About 62 students and 20 adults will make the trip, which features an airplane ride from Portland. Many haven’t visited California before; some haven’t been on a plane. Weston-McEwen Band and Pipes and Drums will appear in the Holiday Bowl parade and halftime show Dec. 30. Director Steve Pyle also anticipates jazz and concert band competitions for the students, who will work with clinicians. THIS DAY IN HISTORY On Sept. 21, 1985, In North Korea and South Korea, family members who had been separated for decades were allowed to visit each other as both coun- tries opened their borders in an unprecedented family-re- union program. In 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Mass., by Frank Duryea, who had designed the vehicle with his brother, Charles. In 1912, magician Harry Houdini first publicly per- formed his “Water Torture Cell” trick at the Circus Busch in Berlin. In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, caus- ing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives. In 1970, “NFL Mon- day Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21. Thought for Today: “The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other.” — H.G.
