In the November 7 game the line up will be: Junior Fresh team — centers, May Fan Varpil- let and Mary Clark; forwards, Geraldine Mor- rison and Lida McDonald; guards, Marjorie MacMonies and Alberta MacMonies. The Senior Sophomore line up consists of centers, Mildred Rodgers and Erva Dale; guards, Mil- dred Bowman and Flossie Penland; forwards, Esther Jenkins and Vashti Hoskins. As both teams contain some expert basket shooters the game promises to be close. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 25, 1969 Initial production from the first plant to locate in the Port of Morrow industrial park is under way at the I. M. Docken Corporation’s alfalfa cubing mill, a $500,000 facility on ten acres of waterfront land a mile northeast of Boardman. Major work ahead is the construc- tion of the underground conveyor belt from the mill to the waterfront. Much of the plant’s output will be shipped via barge, according to company officials. Docken says his firm has long-term contracts with Japanese, Korean and Hawaiian firms to supply them a total of 6,000 tons of high protein cubes per month. Principle ingredients of the cubes are alfalfa and grain to produce a fortified feed for cattle, horses and sheep. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 25, 1994 About 40 people gathered for the Cur- rent Literature Club’s centennial program and social Friday in the Vert Auditorium. Cur- rent Literature started off as the Tourist Club, a group of armchair travelers who first cov- ered foreign countries and then turned to liter- ature. The club as it is known today organized in 1894, founded by Miss Margaret Guyer. The club met weekly at members’ homes, some arriving on horseback. “Life Without Liter- ature Is Death” provided the club motto. The group was dedicated to learning, friendship, worthy living and service. Among community projects, club members helped establish the Umatilla County Library and worked as Red Cross volunteers. Today the club still pursues education, but the group is primarily social. TODAY 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 Oct. 25, 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan. In 1910, “America the Beautiful,” with words by Katharine Lee Bates and music by Samuel A. Ward, was first published. In 1954, a meeting of President Dwight D. Eisen- hower’s Cabinet was carried live on radio and television. In 1962, during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II demanded that Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin confirm or deny the existence of Soviet-built mis- sile bases in Cuba; Stevenson then presented photographic evidence of the bases to the Council. In 1964, The Rolling Stones made the first of six appearances on “The Ed Sul- livan Show.” In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Rea- gan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citi- zens there. In 1999, golfer Payne Stewart and five others were killed when their Learjet flew uncontrolled for four hours before crashing in South Dakota; Stewart was 42. In 2001, a day after the House signed on, the Sen- ate sent President Bush the U-S-A Patriot Act, a pack- age of anti-terror measures giving police sweeping new powers to search people’s homes and business records secretly and to eavesdrop on telephone and computer conversations.

I think one usually knows right away or a moment afterward, in a horrid flash of regret.” — Mary McCarthy, American author and critic (born in 1912, died this day in 1989).
