The Dalles Chronicle, November 10, 2002 20 Year Ago, November 10, 1982 Wasco County employees have agreed to a wage reduction agreement drafted by the county court, and although nothing has been signed it appears there is no problem with the pact County Judge Rick Cantrell said today. Cantrell said he had attempted to contact Kim Korshoj, of the Federation of Federal, State and County and Municipal Employees this morning but found Korshoj was out of town. However, said it was nearly two weeks since a letter outlining the agreement had been sent to the union and nothing negative has been heard. 40 Years Ago, November 10, 1962 Among the winners in the "Make it Yourself with Wool" finals held in Portland was Jo Morast of The Dalles, who won the nod for best dress. The senior championship went to Sandra Kay Olson of Salem (Oregon) and the junior championship to Janet Moberg of Battle Ground, Washington. 60 Years Ago, November 10, 1942 Miss Ruby Thompson, executive secretary of the American Red Cross in this city, stated today that for the first time a woman, and not a man, has been chosen in the person of Mrs. Lyle Hickok as chairman for the Red Cross roll call and war relief drive, which will be put on in March 1943. The change from a man to a woman was made, she said, because of the war conditions. This action was taken at the regular monthly meeting held in the county courtroom last night. So many automobile tires, in excess of the five allowed by the government to each car owner, have been delivered by Wasco County people to the Railway Express Agency here, that The Dalles office has room for little else. Nearly 300 tires a day have been deposited in this city at the express office, and though they are shipped out on every train to the U.S. warehouses for appraisal and payment, all forms for pasting on the tires received were used up by the midafternoon yesterday. 80 Year Ago, November 10, 1922 Officers of the local chapter of the Oregon State Retail Merchants were chosen last night in a meeting at Hotel Dalles.
