DEAR ABBY
Young couple’s PDA session prompts woman to chime in
Dear Abby: A few months ago, my daugh-
ter told me she was with her boyfriend at the
local bowling alley and they were kissing and
hugging. When she went to use the ladies’
room, she was followed by an older woman
who proceeded to “advise” my daughter about
the local family planning clinic, as well as
off er her opinion that teenagers need to be
very careful in their sex lives so they don’t end
up as young parents and derail their futures.
While I believe the woman had good inten-
tions, I also think what she did was wildly
inappropriate. I was tempted to report her
to the police. What’s your opinion? Should I
have contacted and confronted this woman?
— None Of Your Business
Dear N.O.Y.B: For you to have contacted
the police or confronted the woman would
have been extremely inappropriate. If your must-go-to-events such as Thanksgiving and
daughter and her boyfriend were putting on Christmas, he’ll say a few words to everyone,

You aren’t joined at the hip, and isolation isn’t
healthy for you.
Dear Abby: I have a lovely collection
of cloth napkins, but no longer use them for
holiday meals because my son-in-law of 15
years began using them as “hankies” at my
formal dining table. He actually blows his
nose in them. This grosses us out, but I’m
afraid to say anything for fear he will pack
up my grandkids and that will be the last we
see of them. He has a doctorate degree, so it
isn’t ignorance causing this. What would you

he comes for dinner.
DAYS GONE BY
100 years ago — 1922
A refusal on the part of the city council to interfere with
the plans for rebuilding Happy Canyon, the passing of an ordi-
nance for making it illegal for livestock to be permitted to run
in corrals or enclosures within the city limits, the issuance of
an order to George DeMott to show cause why his license for
operating a soft drink place should not be rescinded, and a
decision to have houses on cross streets that intersect Jackson
street between Main and Matlock renumbered were some of
the high spots of the city council’s accomplishments last night.
The attitude of the council on Happy Canyon was asked by
Henry Thompson, a resident of the vicinity of the night show,
who with others presented the city body with a petition oppos-
ing the rebuilding of the place which was partially wrecked
by snow last winter. Mr. Thompson declared that neither he
nor any of the others felt any animus against the show or any
of the directors, but he said the building increases fi re risk
and during the holding of the night show there are too many
objectionable things going on.
50 years ago — 1972
During a city council meeting in Heppner on Monday, Mayor
Bill Collins said he had received an unsigned letter from a resi-
dent complaining of the horse tracks on the newly constructed
foot bridge across Willow Creek. Councilman Jerry Hollomon,
who operates a barber shop on N. Main Street, said youngsters
in groups on horses had been riding on the sidewalk in front of
his business. Not only youngsters ride on sidewalks. Two coun-
cilmen reported they had watched an adult ride his horse down
the sidewalk to a grocery store, go in and purchase groceries,
come back and mount and ride off . It is usual here from the fi rst
of June until rodeo time at the end of August for many horses
to be on the streets. But council members issued a warning that
the animals, according to city ordinance, are restricted to the
streets and are not to be on sidewalks.
25 years ago — 1997
Before and after school care for Pendleton School District
students will be more accessible next school year after the
School Board voted Monday to approve a contract with
Children’s World Learning Centers. With a 4-2 vote, board
members gave the go ahead for Children’s World — a division
of Ara Services Co. — to operate before- and after-school day
care centers at Lincoln and McKay elementary schools. Chil-
dren’s World operates seven learning centers in the Portland
area. The company operates more than 480 child care centers
in 21 states. The program will serve kindergarten through
sixth grade students from 6:30-8:25 a.m. and from 2-6:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday. Children from any elementary school
are eligible to enroll in the program. The learning centers will
have nine “clubs” that students can join in diff erent areas,
including science, crafts, cooking, sports and drama.
