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.

Anne Frank exhibit
set for GUHS
Warner Monroe, an
actress with Living Voices of
Seattle, will perform in Grant
County schools the week of
Nov. 13-19 in conjunction
with the Anne Frank Exhibit.
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.

performance by Heartstrings

ments will be served both

the exhibit or related events.

‘Round the Campfire
Hospital supporters
dine and bid the night
away
A record crowd turned out
to gather around the campfire
and support Blue Mountain
Healthcare Foundation last
Saturday night.
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.
