Is it too much to ask to hear from him on a daily basis? After all, I am willing to relocate for him. — Serious in the South Dear Serious: It’s entirely possi- ble, with his work schedule and fam- ily commitments, that he has been busy in the week since your visit. It is also possible that he’s feeling pres- sured because of your impending move to his city, and you have picked up on the fact that he is distancing himself. I suggest you slow down that move. Don’t push or smother him. Give him a chance to pursue you for a while. His reaction to that will tell you everything you need to know. DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 26, 1919 New highways in the west end of the county are a pleasure to drive over and are in excellent shape, Judge C. H. Marsh said today. The judge was in Hermiston to attend the Hog and Dairy Show and incidentally looked over the highways in that section. “Between Pendleton and Echo the roads are naturally rough,” he said. “Beyond Echo travel is almost as good as on paved highway and when the few stretches now under construction are finished, within the next few weeks, the west end will have unbroken stretches of road every bit as good as the east end, if not better.” 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 26, 1969 More than 150 members and guests attended the grand opening and dedication ceremonies of the newly enlarged and remodeled hall of Hermiston Eagles Aerie 2909 Saturday and Sunday. Featured speaker at the dedication Sunday was W. M. Loy, Bend, state membership director. State President Andy Bellomo, Pendleton, also spoke, as did several local members of the lodge, according to master of ceremonies Clyde Berry, junior past president. Dinner and dancing followed. Satur- day’s activities included guided tours in the afternoon and evening, followed by an evening of dancing. Guest attended from Hood River, The Dalles, Bend and Pendleton. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 26, 1994 The 73rd annual Umatilla County Potato Show will be staged Saturday in Weston Memorial Hall.

Although potatoes are no longer grown commercially in Weston, the show has endured. Weston Chamber of Com- merce sponsors the annual event. These days the show fea- tures garden produce, baking, canning, needlework, flow- ers, arts and crafts, collectibles, demonstrations, a strictly potato luncheon and a ham dinner.
