The Dalles Chronicle January 27, 2002 Looking back is prepared each week by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, January 27, 1982 Wasco County politics heated up Tuesday with the filing of a judge and commissioner candidate bringing up a contested general election race for judge. Bill Hulse, Dufur rancher and wheat association official, will run for judge on the Republican ticket. County Judge Rick Cantrell, also a Republican, has decided to run for the commissioner's office, which will be vacated by County Commissioner Jim Comini, a Democrat, who announced last fall he will run for judge. 40 Years Ago, January 27, 1962 The 1962 celebration of Zion Lutheran Church's 65th anniversary was one of the topics of discussion at the annual meeting of the congregation last Sunday. Zion Lutheran was organized in 1897 and the congregation has worshipped in three church buildings during it history, according to the Reverend David C. Getzendaner, pastor. 80 Years Ago, January 27, 1922 Five timorous candidates were initiated into the mysteries of Elkdom in one of the most largely attended sessions of the local lodge held this year. The neophytes, J.E. Peck, Victor Anderson, Paul Weigalt, Fred Dutton and F.E. Matthews, were not neglected to say the least, although all were up and about as usual today. An enjoyable class social was held Wednesday evening by the members of the Klan of the Baptist Sunday school at the home of Miss Helen Fisch on Chenowith Road. Among those present were Opal Smith, Beryl Calbreath, Aletha Miller, Dora Walsh, Doris Remington, Helen Fisch, Mrs. J.L. Bogue and Mr. and Mrs. Spickerman.
