36.	Law was passed closing saloons on election day to quell rioting / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [763] [WAYITWAS-2007-763] Our recent local elections with low voter turnout and disinterested citizens had me look at earlier elections in Solano County. With today's well-regulated and orderly campaign and voting system in mind, 19th century elections read more like a riot. Detailed record - Similar records
37.	Lessons learned in 1911 / Bowen, Jerry [739] [WAYITWAS-2007-739] In my last column we took a brief look at some of the 1911 requirements to graduate from grammar school (the eighth grade). This week we will look at a brief summary of reading and literature and an example of part of an article written by a graduate of high school in 1912. Detailed record - Similar records
38.	Wartime proclamation reflected somber mood / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [738] [WAYITWAS-2007-738] My last column looked at the early years of the Fairfield-Suisun Airbase, a wartime response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Although the local newspapers did not report much about the activities, local residents were eager to learn more about the "great flying field." Detailed record - Similar records
39.	Course was spelled out for pupils 100 years ago / Bowen, Jerry [735] [WAYITWAS-2007-735] In my last column we took a sneak preview of what it was like for school students back in 1909. I thought you might find it quite interesting how much of an education you had to have just to enter high school. In 1911, the Solano County Schools Board of Education issued a book of "Rules for Promotion and Graduation" and a "List of Supplementary Reading Books." Detailed record - Similar records
40.	Construction took off in building an Army airfield / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [734] [WAYITWAS-2007-734] My recent columns on the wartime housing boom in response to the incoming personnel for the Fairfield-Suisun Army Air Field led me to look a bit closer at the early years of Travis Air Force Base.

41.	Snapshots of an era / Bowen, Jerry [733] [WAYITWAS-2007-733] Among the collections at the Vacaville Heritage Council and the Solano County Genealogy Society at the Old Town Hall on East Main Street are yearbooks from Solano County Schools dating back as far as the late 1890s. These publications are a treasure that help historians gain some insight into past attitudes, styles of dress, and pride in school and community and to perhaps learn something valuable from the "good old days."

42.	Story of Monticello Dam flows with water needs / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [731] [WAYITWAS-2007-731] In a few weeks, Solano County will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Monticello Dam. The dam made possible the creation of Lake Berryessa, which fulfilled a vision of earlier to secure a reliable water supply for local farmers and city residents. Detailed record - Similar records
43.	Painting a tale of pink houses, spiral staircases / Bowen, Jerry [730] [WAYITWAS-2007-730] In my last column, we went over the history of the Perry family and the house that was built in the 1860s that still stands, although probably not for long. The last of the Perry family, Clyde, will vacate the house just before demolition, likely in the near future. Detailed record - Similar records
44.	Air base doubles Solano's Population / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [729] [WAYITWAS-2007-729] The mid 1940's saw an unprecedented population growth in the Vacaville and Fairfield areas, due to the incoming personel for the new Fairfield-Suisun air base. For several years, both cities struggled to accommodate their new residents. Federal Housing Public Authority projects such as Waterman Park in Fairfield and Vaca Valley Acres in Vacaville were built quickly. Detailed record - Similar records
45.	Aging structures in county spotlight / Bowen, Jerry [727] [WAYITWAS-2007-727] Before I launch into this column I need to let several people who e-mailed me with questions know that my trusty old portable computer went up in smoke, and I lost all the questions. So, if I haven't answered you in the last month or so, try again. Detailed record - Similar records
