T URNING B ACK THE P AGES
50 YEARS AGO
from the Democrat-Herald
July 18, 1970
The Nixon administration has warned it will not tolerate
politically frustrated “fanatics” who throw bombs when
they don’t get their way.
In strongly worded testimony before a Senate subcom-
mittee Friday, Assistant Attorney General Will R. Wilson
urged prompt enactment of tougher laws to control the
use of explosives.
He said terrorists responsible for more than 41,000
bombings and bomb threats in the last 18 months are “ur-
ban guerrillas” and said their “despicable” crimes must
be severely punished.

EDITORIAL: The cupola atop the Geiser Grand Hotel is
like your shadow on a sunny afternoon — wherever you
go, it’s there. It catches the eye from unexpected places.
Drive east on Auburn Avenue toward Main Street — there
it is. It’s almost as if someone erected a new building
overnight. That’s almost true.

Two Eastern Oregon coaches for Special Olympics are
in Lincoln, Neb., this week for the U.S National Summer
Games.
Paula Moe of North Powder coaches swimming, and
Doug Trice of La Grande coaches track and fi eld.
Their team members, though, are spread across the
state, so they’ve both been coaching by phone calls and
emails.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
July 19, 2019
A man was ready to take the fi rst step on the moon, but
that wasn’t going to help Phyllis Badgley put dinner on
the table.
Milestones go better with a meal anyway.
On that epic evening 50 years ago Saturday, when Neil
Armstrong, followed by Buzz Aldrin, set foot on the lunar
surface, Badgley, like tens of millions of Americans, was
watching as history played out on a black-and-white TV
screen.
But she was also working on supper in her Baker City
home for her husband, Don, and their children, Rick, then
12, and Joyce, 16.
Badgley, who’s 95, said she remembers well the wide-
spread excitement that summer as America fulfi lled the
ambitious goal that President John F. Kennedy, little more
than two years before he was slain in Dallas, laid out in a
famous 1961 speech.
“Everybody was caught up in the news,” Badgley said.
She recalls that her mother, Louine May, who was in
her 70s at the time, was if anything more amazed than her
daughter and grandchildren.
Badgley remembers her mother remarking that during
her life she had watched the progression from people get-
ting around by horse and buggy, to a rocket that propelled
humans 240,000 miles to the moon.
“She was just thrilled,” Badgley said of her mother’s
reaction to the moon landing.
Badgley said that 50 years later, she has a similar feel-
ing.
