61.	'Bombing' Near Home - Travis Mishap in 1950 / Rico, John [882] [RICO-1981-882] SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER - In less than two weeks the 36th anniversary of two of the most controversial days in the history of the world will be observed. Those were the days when president Harry Truman gave his approval for the dropping of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, and the second on Nagasaki on August 9.

62.	Time Has Erased a Beautiful Vacaville Scene / Rico, John [881] [RICO-1981-881] WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY TOWN? - People who have resided here 50 years or more (there are only a few remaining), can look back and make a comparison of Vacaville "back when" and Vacaville today. Detailed record - Similar records
63.	Mystery of Vaca Artifacts Found in Old Mine / Rico, John [880] [RICO-1981-880] NO BLACK GOLD BENEATH VACA SOIL - Despite the fact dozens of holes have been bored into Vacaville lands in search of oil, or gas, as far as is known the area is "dry". Detailed record - Similar records
64.	Visualize Vacaville Surrounded By Water? / Rico, John [879] [RICO-1981-879] Beware, the flood is coming. At this point I am rather confused about our climatic transitions in the years ahead. One group of scientists and meteorologists tell us the North Pole ice masses are gradually creeping toward us and that in a million years, more or less, little Vacaville will be covered by glaciers measuring hundreds of feet deep.

65.	Tax Revenue Reveals Local Shopper Habits / Rico, John [878] [RICO-1981-878] PLUS AND MINUS OF A BEDROOM COMMUNITY - Many times we hear Vacaville residents expressing themselves about the rapid growth here in immediate years past. Without going back too far, 31 years to be exact, residents in 1950 were well satisfied with the 3,169 people living here. Today that figures is around the 42,000 mark. Detailed record - Similar records
66.	Greely Said 'Go West' - No Mention of Vaca / Rico, John [877] [RICO-1981-877] Go West, Young Man, and Grow Up With the Country - This bit of timely advice is credited to journalist Horace Greeley, but research actually attributes the saying to John Souls about 1851. Greeley used the quote in an article he wrote for the New York Tribune. Detailed record - Similar records
67.	Unbelievable? - Too Much Water in Vaca Valley / Rico, John [870] [RICO-1981-870] Where has all that water disappeared to? Here is a reprint from an 1888 publication referring to the abundance of rainfall in the Vacaville district. In fact, there was an over-abundance, with the excess water causing root rot to the newly planted fruit trees. Detailed record - Similar records
68.	They Shot Yee Yan Wo In the Back - So What? / Rico, John [871] [RICO-1981-871] If someone mentioned to you that at one time in our past history there were as many as 1500 Chinese residing here, it would take you by surprise. But that's about the approximate number of orientals residing here, all of them ranch laborers, house servants and a few merchants. Detailed record - Similar records
69.	Putt, Putt, Putt And The Reporter Was Printed / Rico, John [872] [RICO-1981-872] Frequently people ask me if I find it frustrating in my endeavors to offer this column every week, which I have been doing for several decades. Frankly, at times it does bring me to the brink of total blankness in my attempts to go into a subject which can be of interest to local readers. Detailed record - Similar records
70.	Reliving the Saga of Vaca Fire-Eaters / Rico, John [873] [RICO-1981-873] I've got a suggestion to make. Let's change the name of the Vacaville Fire Department to Vacaville Emergency Services. I have my doubts about the council buying this suggestion, but it's something for them to think about. Detailed record - Similar records
