June Was a Hot Month - More to Come / Rico, John [885] [RICO-1981-885]
THERE ARE FIGURES AND MORE FIGURES - Everyone talks about the. weather but no one can do anything about it. That's what has happened here in the month of June. The weather during the past 30 days has drawn about as much front page publicity as did the economic situation across the nation.

Many things have occurred in Vallejo's 114 years of existence. Every day must be an anniversary of some event in our community life. One way to dip into the pages of the past is to recall earlier happenings in the merry month of May.

The Old Frying Pan May Soon Fade Away / Rico, John [915] [RICO-1979-915]
LET'S DINE OUT - Never in the history of the United States have the three words: "Let's dine out" been so prominently used. This common 1979 trait comes about because the lady of the house who at one time worked over a hot stove, now has steady employment helping to bolster her husband's income.

Current Seasonal Rainfall Is Disappointing / Rico, John [887] [RICO-1981-887]
LACK OF RAIN - ALWAYS A DRY SUBJECT - We are heading for the end of the present 1980-81 rainfall season, and with only the remainder of June in the 12-month period, there's every likelihood the total for the current season can be tabulated among the 11 in the past 80 years when precipitation has not gone over the current total of 15.12 inches.

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.

Problems Not New / Wichels, Ernest [783] [WICHELS-1964-783]
Too frequently we read of some "new" development to improve the economy; or hear someone wonder what has happened to modern youth; or see a reference to the shipyard "crisis." In reviewing the pages of one hundred years of Vallejo newspapers we come to the inevitable conclusion there is really nothing new.

Fires and family life at the Water Works / Bowen, Jerry [567] [WAYITWAS-2005-567]
Some of the most interesting local history comes from the people who lived it. Last year, during the Solano County Historical Society's Pioneer Days Celebration, I was very fortunate to meet Betty Davis who lives in Fairfield. While we were talking, she asked me if I would be interested in a family history that was written by her mother, Edith Lucille Venning.

Vacaville in Ashes / Bowen, Jerry [35] [WAYITWAS-2000-35]
June 6, 1877. The north wind was hot and harsh on the dry landscape surrounding the small town of Vacaville. At the southwest end of town, Tom Wilson had just returned from Suisun, put his horse in the barn and gone into the house.
