DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 2, 1919 A bit of sunshine and a temporary respite from rain today permitted the filming of more scenes for “A Romance of Pendleton,” the East Oregonian’s movie being directed by Walter Steiner of the Hudris Film Co., of New York. The big picture, which will be exhib- ited at the Arcade, is virtually complete now. Quite a cast of local notables has assisted in the production of the movie. Members of the high school dramatic club figured prominently, as well as well-known grownups, including Mayor J. L. Vaughan. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 2, 1969 Shirley Rugg, widely known sheep and cattle woman of Morrow County, was named “Livestock Grower of the Year for Morrow County for 1969” at the annual Farm-City Livestock banquet Wednesday.
