51. Never-Ending Problems - Sewage and Trash / Rico, John [908] [RICO-1979-908]
THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL - A friend of mine asked me one day if there were any problems in compiling this article, once each week, year-in, year-out for more than 30 years. My immediate reply was: "Oh, there's always something to write about." Well, this is one week when I will scrape the bottom of the barrel for a subject. Let's talk about our environmental problems of Yesteryear.

52. Push-Button Phones Ended a Unique Era / Rico, John [907] [RICO-1979-907]
A NOTICEABLE CHANGE - Back in 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell announced he had been successful in transmitting sound through wires, little did he dream that his discovery would skyrocket into one of the largest industries in the world. Furthermore, Bell would be astounded at the figures which show the giant American Telephone and Telegraph Company reported net earnings for the first nine months of 1979 at $4.1 billions. That's something to talk about.

53. Christmas - A Time for Remembering Friends / Rico, John [906] [RICO-1979-906]
I fail to become excited over poetry, but the lines above are of interest because they were written in 1960 by a man who was not only familiar to me, but to the entire community. It was the late C.J. Uhl, extensive rancher and Vacaville councilman and mayor who wrote this bit of wisdom, and although written nearly 20 years ago, his thoughts could well fit into today's atmosphere.

54. 1980 - A Year of Demoralizing Frustration / Rico, John [905] [RICO-1981-905]
1980 - A YEAR TO FORGET - In this year of 1980, ringing out the old and ushering in the new simply does not have the gusto of years gone by. There seems to be a definite malaise disturbing too many people.

55. Days When 'Fruit Tramps' Invaded Vacaville / Rico, John [904] [RICO-1981-904]
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? - Without becoming embroiled in the discussions now under way in Vacaville as to whether home building should be limited or unshackled from a myriad of restrictions, I want to go back into our history and review what has taken place so that residents here today can evaluate the trends of the past 90 years.

59. Vacaville, Fairfield, Suisun - People County / Rico, John [902] [RICO-1981-902]
AND AWAY WE GROW- Years ago, in fact in 1910, when Vacaville residents traveled to San Francisco using old Highway 40, they needed to be alert in passing through Fairfield else they would have missed the few buildings there marking that hamlet. The population of Fairfield in 1910 was 834, and although Vacaville at that time was no booming metropolis, it claimed a population of 1177. Many Vacaville resident, seeking merchandise and services in those days gone by, would travel to nearby Suisun, which had more to offer than did Vacaville or Fairfield. But, look what's happened since those days.

LIKE FALLING LEAVES - Most of today's residents of Vacaville, being newcomers, would express an opinion that many of the store owners throughout the business community have been here for a long time. But, it is surprising, and a fact, that the mortality rate up and down those streets, has been exceptionally high.
