Christmas is fast approaching with its wonderful traditions and not so wonderful "still-have-to-do" moments. Records of earlier celebrations allow us a glimpse of some of the same traditions but also of a slower, seemingly more peaceful season.

Memories of the Fairfield area / Bowen, Jerry [198] [WAYITWAS-2004-198]
Memoirs often provide valuable insight about the past that may seem of little importance when an individual first writes them. Today, with the last remains of the old company town of Cement rapidly disappearing under the onslaught of new development, a way of life is also being relegated to the dusty archives of history to be remembered only in the minds of a few old-timers and people who enjoy learning about the past.

Remember When a Day's Pay Was $1.25? / Rico, John [911] [RICO-1979-911]
LET'S TALK INFLATION - If you noted the following prices in today's newspaper, you would know someone was out on a lark and wanting to have some fun. But, these prices actually appeared in advertisements in The Reporter back in 1932: pound of coffee 19c, loaf of bread 10c, pound of beef stew 9c, pound of bacon 14c, fresh pumpkin pie 15c, head of lettuce 4c, can of olives 9c, pound of butter 22c, bunch of vegetables 2c, a pack of cigarettes 10c, and you could send Junior to the Vacaville Theatre for 10c. That all added up to $1.24.

The 'Hostages' We Held In 1942 / Rico, John [900] [RICO-1981-900]
REMEMBER THE HOSTAGES WE HELD? The American people were relieved and gratified at the release of 52 hostages held in Iran for 444 days. The events leading up to the captive actions and the eventual release, have been printed many times, and shown equally as many times on television. But let's take a trip back into 1942 and briefly review the roll the American government took in holding hostage several thousand innocent Japanese, 333 of them being residents of Vacaville, which included old men in wheel chairs, women, children and babes in arms.
