Service Stations on 72-hour a week basis More evidence that the country is at war was brought home to Grant County cit- izens last Friday when re- stricted gasoline sales went into effect in Oregon, Wash- ington, 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia and, according to Harold Ickes, federal petroleum coordina- tor, even further restrictions Board-Certified by the American Board of Surgery Blue Mountain Surgery Strawberry Wilderness COMMUNITY CLINIC Shawna Clark, DNP • David Hall, MD • Zach Bailey, MD • Nora Healey, FNP • Emily Lieuallen, DO • Raffaella Betza, MD • Janessa Sickler, DO are in prospect, as gasoline rationing cards will be put into use in the restricted ar- eas within six weeks. Ser- vice stations in the curtail- ment areas must limit their operations to a maximum of 12 hours in any one day and to a total of 72 hours a week. As gasoline distributors will be allotted 80 percent of the amounts used a year ago, the present restrictions leave it entirely to the retails distrib- utors as to who shall be al- lowed gasoline and in what quantities. Blue Mountain Eagle March 26, 1992 25 years ago Buddy Bears spotted in Prairie City area Bears are loose in Prairie City and have taken over City Hall. Fortunately, these bears are rather tame – so tame, in fact, that they often ride with the local police offi cers in their squad cars. The Prairie City Police Department recently accepted a donation of several hand-sewn and stuffed teddy bears for distribution to trau- matized children. Often times, a police offi cer will arrive at a scene, be it a fi re, domestic problem, or automobile acci- dent, and there will be an upset child there. In their experience, they have found that giving the child something to hold on to helps alleviate their fears and consequently makes the offi - cers’ job easier. Similar to the Buddy Bear program in John Day that is handled by the John Day Kiwanis club, the Prairie City program was undertak- en by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. • General Surgery • Upper Endoscopy • Laparoscopy • Colonoscopy • Hernia, Gallbladder & Breast Surgery • Laparoscopic Hysterectomy 05364 Blue Mountain Eagle March 27, 1942 75 years ago
