Dear Abby: I’m a girl of 23 who has never

One of them, who went to my middle school,
recently asked me on a date. Another one
from high school asked me out, too, in the
same week. (Neither one ever talked to me
in the respective schools.) Even if I wanted to
go out, I’m a little nervous because I’ve never
been on a date. What do you think I have to
do? I know I shouldn’t care about what my
family and friends say, but they are gossips.

Problem solved.
Dear Abby: When six of us women got
together for lunch, one gal brought copies
of her mother’s newly published book of
poetry. The book was $20. After describing
the book and her mother, she offered one to
each of us to purchase! We’re not poor, but
I thought she showed poor taste by pushing
this book on us. We all bought one because
we felt obligated. What’s your opinion
about what she did? What would have been
a tactful way to refuse? — Dumbstruck
Dear Dumbstruck: You could have
thanked the woman for offering the book,
told her you are sure it was “wonderful”
and refused by saying, “But I’m just not
into poetry!”
DAYS GONE BY
From the East Oregonian
100 Years Ago
June 19, 1921
Tex Smith, buckaroo, and champion bulldogger at the 1920
Pendleton Round-Up, is being held in custody at Cadwell,
Idaho, with Roy Snyder, on a charge of stealing an Auburn car
from G. Reed, of Nampa. It is alleged that the two left Nampa
with a car that they appropriated and it is supposed that they
are the ones that robbed a store at Emmett of about $2,000
worth of silk goods, a garage at Vale and a store at Crane of
several hundred dollars worth of merchandise and also a shop
and garage at Fallon, Nevada. In getting away from Fallon
they were pursued by the sheriff and two men whom he had
deputized and in a running fi ght the sheriff was seriously
wounded and the men escaped.
50 Years Ago
June 19, 1971
The bodies of fi ve members of the Dr. Clarence Tannell
family were removed Friday by searchers from a timbered
ridge at the head of Little Johnson Creek, about 14 air miles
southeast of Pendleton, where their light plane crashed
Monday. The Longview, Wash., family left Kelso, Wash., in
their Piper Challenger Sunday night en route to Wisconsin and
Michigan to visit relatives. No fl ight plan was fi led. It was not
known they were missing until Wednesday when they failed
to show up in the Midwest as expected. The plane, piloted by
Tannell, had last been heard from Monday over Pendleton
when Tannell radioed for weather information.
25 Years Ago
June 19, 1996

Crawley Jr. is to be formally charged with buying tools, weld-
ing equipment, and materials to build a small barn for personal
use with county funds. Preliminary estimates of the property’s
value by Oregon State Police detectives is at $2,200.

his international banking
