WWI program at museum
'1942-Oregon's Most Ex
citing Year," is the topic of a
program to be presented by
Tom Edwards, professor of
history at Whitman College, at
the Morrow County Museum
on Thursday, June 15, at 7 p.m.
Dr. Edwards' talk will con
centrate on the regional
changes the Northwest ex
perienced during 1942 follow
ing the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. The state of Oregon
was initially without an ade
quate defense force, thus
volunteers formed guerilla
companies and the state guard.
In this first year of war, Oregon
citizens of Japanese descent
were removed to internment
camps, defense industries as
well as traditional industries
boomed, school children prac
ticed fire drills and everyone
had to adapt to shortages and
automobile restrictions.
Dr. Edwards' appearance is
the fourth in a series of pro
grams being held in conjunc
tion with "Produce for Victory,
Posters on the American Home
Front 1941-1945," a Smithso
nian exhibit, and "Fighters on
the Farm Front," an OSU ex
hibit, which are on display at
the Morrow County Museum
through July 12. The Morrow
County Museum is open 1-5
p.m .
Saturday
through
Wednesday. Admission to the
museum and to this series of
speakers is free.
"1942-Oregon's Most Ex
citing Year," is presented in
part by a grant from The
Oregon Council for the
Humanities, an affliate of the
N ational Endowment for
Humanities.
