A6 HISTORY & COMMUNITY Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, November 13, 2019 Natural Resource Advisory Committee to hold first meeting OUT OF THE PAST 75 years ago Roosevelt, re-elected, carries Grant by 66 votes; Morse, Cordon, Stockman are winners; Hazeltine wins sheriff raceGrant County, like the state of Oregon and 34 other states, gave Franklin D. Roosevelt a majority over Thomas E. Dewey for pres- ident in the general election Tuesday; however, the Grant County vote was very close, Roosevelt receiving 1,072 votes to Dewey’s 1,006, a lead of 66 for president. Wayne Morse, republi- can, defeated Edgar Smith for U.S. Senator (long term) and Guy Cordon, republi- can incumbent also was vic- torious, winning over Willis Mahoney for U.S. Senator (short term). Congressman Lowell Stockman defeated C.J. Shorb for representative in congress for the Eastern Oregon District. Morse, Cor- don and Stockman all carried Grant County by substantial margins. Of greatest local interest was the race for sher- iff, this being the only county office for which there was a contest. In this race, the pres- ent incumbent, I. B. Hazel- tine, defeated Martin Bragga. Hazeltine’s vote was 1,190; Bragga’s, 804. 50 years ago Merchants start Yule planning Downtown John Day merchants started making Christmas plans this week, setting three Saturday pro- motions, Santa Claus visits and two nights of late shop- ping – at least tentatively.

The presentation is a com- bination of live actor and historical video designed to bring to students the reality of the Holocaust in an inno- vative way. “Through the Eyes of a Friend,” using the diary of Anne Frank, pictures of the Frank family and World War II footage, is a dia- logue between Anne and her “best friend.” They talk about the changes in their lives, about being in hid- ing and finally about being in Bergen-Belsen, the con- centration camp. The perfor- mance has received excellent reviews from school admin- istrators, teachers and stu- dents. There will be 10 pre- sentations in Grant County. The Anne Frank Com- munity Exhibit with sev- eral other exhibits will be showing in John Day at the old gym of Grant Union High School. Public hours will be Sunday, Nov. 13, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.; Monday through Friday, 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to noon.

The event, themed “Meeting Us ‘Round the Campfire,” was the Foun- dation’s annual banquet and auction, held at the Grant County Fairgrounds. Hospital CEO Bob Houser noted the event has grown since its early days, and even since last year. More than 180 people attended the festivities this year, up from 140 last year. Houser was grateful for the show of support, noting it comes as “the projects have gotten bigger and the challenges greater.” The Foundation has raised money for vari- ous equipment purchases, including the recent addi- tion of cardiac monitoring equipment installed last May. The efforts continue with a goal of raising $110,000 to replace outdated endos- copy equipment; new equipment would allow earlier detection and treat- ment of colorectal cancers and abnormalities. The Foundation also is raising some $10,000 to replace the nurse call sys- tem at Blue Mountain Nurs- ing Home. The Natural Resource Advisory Committee will hold their first meeting on Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. The meeting will be in the conference room on the main floor of the Grant County Courthouse and is open to the pub- lic. The Grant County Court appointed the term dates for the 10 committee members on Oct. 16. OREGON CAPITAL INSIDER Get the inside scoop on state government and politics!
