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.

High Winds, Fire, Dry Grass: Black Thursday
/
Rico, John
[914]
[RICO-1979-914]
A DAY TO REMEMBER - The sun was shining brightly over Vacaville on that September 16th back in 1965, but it was barely visible. It was being blotted out by dense clouds of smoke. The Black Thursday fire was on a rampage, and men and machines were helpless to stop the fiery tongue as it worked its way south toward Vacaville.

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.

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.

The Simple Hoe Became a Victim of Progress
/
Rico, John
[903]
[RICO-1981-903]
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world.

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.

We All Discarded a Fortune in Antiques
/
Rico, John
[891]
[RICO-1981-891]
YESTERDAY'S "JUNK" - There are many resident of Vacaville who can reminisce back to the days when their possessions included a pot-bellied stove, a washboard, coffee grinder and a myriad collection of items which had served them well, but as newer innovations made an appearance, those old pieces of "junk" ended up at the city dumps.

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.
