THE AMERICAN DREAM
AMONG NATIONS
"That which is good for
communities in America Is
goM for the Armenians and
Greeks and Mohammadans of
Turkey," American Board of
Foreign Missions, 1881.
"... into the hands of
America God has placed the
destinies of afflicted humani
ty." Pius XII, 1946.
"Yankee, go home!" popu
lar slogan.
As a land of liberty and
opportunity, America became
a nation convinced of its
mission "to make the world
safe for democracy"; as a
new nation, it has often felt a
need to learn from older ones
and to share new innovations
in return; as a prosperous
nation, it has often seen itself
; as the "breadbasket of the
world," with an obligation to
help the less fortunate. This
humanitarian dimension in
America's foreign relations
helps to explain why legions of
American missionaries have
gone abroad in the 19th and
20th centuries, as well as the
Peace Corps volunteers in
recent years. It provided the
impetus for the Marshall
Pn, Food for Peace, and
innumerable programs of cul
tural exchange, famine relief
and international understand
ing. But can we help other
nations without intruding in
their affairs? We have con
tributed ofien, and often
failed. Should we reduce our
humanitarian attempts as too
ambitious and optimistic? Or
should we feci an obligation to
do more? Should we rely on
International institutions to
care for the needy, or are
unilateral and private pro
grams more realistic? What
does America stand for among
the world's nations . . . demo
cracy . . . commercialism . . .
justice? Do others see us in a
way that might surprise us? Is
their dream of America a
distortion or a fantasy?
America as seen by others:
Tocqueville. of course, and
Lord Bryce. Dickens and D M
Lawrence. Gunnar, Myrdal
and Jacques Maritain. Dennis
Brogan and. more recently,
Jean Francois Revel.
In 1851. the "Great Indus
trial Exhibition" at London's
Crystal Palace is a hit for
America as crowds are intri
gued with the ingenuity of
many products from the
U S a solar compass, water
proof clothing, firearms, var
ious machines. The London
Times says: -Every practical
success of the season belongs
to the Americans."
In the late 1880s newly rich
American industrialists find
European travel intellectually
and culturally satisfying.
Many collect European art.

PADBERG FRIDLEV
FAMILIES
By Justine Weatherford
Catie Fridley Padberg
(Mrs. Oris Padberg) of Lex
ington Is going to be 77 years
old very soon. She is proud to
tell of her parens and the early
Padbergs In this county.
Catie's parents were Lewis
Fridley and Marietta Wood
ruff Fridley who were mar
ried in Missouri and came to
Harrisburg, OR. Her father
developed rheumatism, and a
doctor recommended he move
to Eastern Oregon to get out of
the damp valley. The family
came to Social Ridge and got a
homestead ranch from Jim
Brown. Their daughters at
tended the Social Ridge
School. Catie is the oldest, her
next sister, Edna is now Mrs.
Lars Langland, Modesto, CA,
and the youngest, Lois is Mrs.
Walter Beck, Stockton, CA.
Catie married Oris Padberg at
the old Padberg Ranch then
Will's place, near lone in 1919.
Catie likes to show an un
usual carved table in her nice
mobile home near the center
of Lexington. She says the
table was "unclaimed after
the 1903 Heppner flood." Her
father helped gather up bodies
and restore order after that
disaster. People's possessions
were put together in piles for
families to come claim. After
quite a long time, when no one
claimed this old table, "my
father brought it home and
found someone to help h!;n
repair It."
She recalls that the ?.rst
Padberg here was Henry who
came from Germany and
settled on Rhea Creek In the
1870s. After he reached Ore
gon he married Martha Riggs.
Their children were William,
Leo, John, Louis, Mary and
Liddy. John married Delia
Lieuallen. the daughter of
blacksmith Ranson Lieuallen,
and they had two sons, Archie
and Oris. Archie stayed on the
John Padberg ranch and
married Susie Allstott and
they had four children, Arch
ie. Vernon, Juanita and Lola.
After his first wife's death.
Archie married Mildred Tu
cker and they are now
residents of Heppner.
Oris worked for Turner and
Van Marter for a time in
Heppner. then worked for
Ralph Jackson's machinery
shop at Lexington, then start
ed his own machinery shop.
Oris and Catie had three
children. Marial Doris, now
Mrs. L.D. Vinson, Monument;
Elmer Eldon, Lexington and
Charles Henry, Dayton. WA.
Oris died in October 1971.
Catie has 8 grandchildren and
8 great grandchildren.
Mrs. Rachel Harnett, cura
tor of the County Museum
would be pleased if any decen
dents of pioneers or early
families who have not brought
records of their ancestors to
the museum would bring them
to her. If families would like
articles written for this col
umn they should contact Mrs.
Harnett who will give the
Information to Mrs. Weather-ford.

The two volumes of "Phari
see Among Philistines: The
Dairy of Judge Matthew P.
Deady, 1871-1892" were re
viewed for the Bookworm
Club, Feb. 10 at the home of
Inez Erwin. These volumes
were published by the Oregon
Historical Society late in 1975
and were edited by Malcolm
Clark Jr. They may be pur
chased from the society for
$27.50 in hardcover and for
$2.50 in paperback. The Book
worms are presenting a set to
the Heppner Public Library,
Justine Weatherford gave the
review.
Matthew P. Deady, whose
father came from County
Cork, was the first U.S.
District Court Judge in Ore
gon and was a major factor in
the establishment of the new
state's foundations in many
respects. He was a faithful
diarist and a keen observer
and commentator. The books
contain old photographs as
sembled by the Oregon Histo
rical Society.
Besides the personalized,
sometimes gossipy diary, the
volumes contain a terrific
section, a "Dramatis Per
sonae" which tells them about
100 men and women who
played significant roles in the
period. The 600 pages also give
revues of many of the cases
Judge Deady presided over.
After each year's entries there
is a section of footnotes. At the

REVIEW
end of Vol. II there is a long,
helpful index.
Matthew Deady came to
Oregon Country in 1849. He
began teaching immediately.
He was elected to the terri
torial legislature in 1850. He
traveled a great deal, mainly
by boat; he made frequent
trips to California and tells of
travels in Alaska and Hawaii.
The entries tell of almost
everybody and every event of
consequence that crossed his
path in 22 years. By way of
historical reference, the years
covered in the diary tell of the
administrations of U.S. Pre
sidents Ulysses S. Grant,
Rutherford B. Hayes, James
Garfield, Chester A. Arthur,
Grover Cleveland and Benja
min Harrison.
The Oregonian's reviewer
Malcolm Bauer states, "No
other recent work on the
Oregon history shelf is a
match for it, either in infor
mation or in entertainment."
