Wichels, Ernest
[843]
[WICHELS-1965-843]
Last Sunday a devastating tremor rocked Chile; on Monday, it was the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. We are in the spring period of past earthquakes in Solano and Napa counties. Most of them have been in this eight-week period of March and April.

More On Hospitals
/
Wichels, Ernest
[789]
[WICHELS-1964-789]
Last Sunday we discussed the hospital facilities or, rather, lack of such facilities available to Solano County and Vallejo residents form 1849. Today we will go into some detail concerning the medical and nursing care Vallejoans have had since that date.

Early Solano
/
Wichels, Ernest
[784]
[WICHELS-1964-784]
A common human weakness is to predict the future. Sometimes the vision we see in the crystal ball may, by coincidence, come true. The editor of the Vallejo Recorder, in July and August of 1867, published a series of articles on Solano County communities and speculated on their development.

Rain in Our Pipes, and in a Bottle of Bud
/
Rico, John
[929]
[RICO-1979-929]
A SUBJECT CLOSER TO HOME - Now that President Jimmy Carter has solved the Israel- Egypt controversy, at least for the time being, it may be enlightening to put into print a subject which should be of concern to every Vacaville resident. Let's review our rainfall situation.

New Year Eve Past Century
/
Wichels, Ernest
[847]
[WICHELS-1964-847]
We discover what our forefathers did during the New Year season by reading Farragut's log books, and looking over the early editions of the Vallejo Chronicle. How did the weather behave here 100 years ago today?

Then, And Nowadays
/
Wichels, Ernest
[857]
[WICHELS-1964-857]
When one is interested in the earlier years of Vallejo and Solano County, it seems that every issue of the current Times-Herald or Evening News-Chronicle contains at least a dozen stories that lead directly to similar events some 50 to 100 years ago.

People Who Build Ships
/
Wichels, Ernest
[800]
[WICHELS-1964-800]
Mare Island is again on the threshold of decision. Sometime this year, we are told, the administration will determine a cutback in the number of naval shipyards. Eleven yards are too many, it is stated, for the present size of United States naval forces afloat. Many considerations will enter into such a decision [...]

Horseless Carriages
/
Wichels, Ernest
[776]
[WICHELS-1963-776]
This past week we learned that another American-made automobile passes from the scene. Studebaker has been a by-word for over 60 years. But this has happened to automobiles in America just about 5,100 times in the past 65 years! We are indebted to Manager Charles Monahan of the local Calif. State AA Office for an informative pamphlet on American-made automobiles--from Abbott (1909) to Zust (1908).

Old Time News Writing
/
Wichels, Ernest
[775]
[WICHELS-1963-775]
Like women's fashions, automobile bodies and hair-dos, the style of reporting news also changes with the years. In our research the past few weeks, poring over the century-old editions of our Vallejo newspapers, we have gleaned some amusing stories. The most interesting aspect is that the city editor, in the olden days, always editorialized in his reporting. Today no city desk would dare to do so.

Remembering some Christmas pasts
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[50]
[WAYITWAS-2000-50]
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.
