25 years ago — March 10, 1983 Patterson is about to receive its first automatic banking machine. Wells Fargo Bank is installing the outdoor service. A levee break along the San Joaquin River north of Grayson forced the quick evacuation of four families, including Ed Hagemann’s, whose property was quickly flooded. More than 1,500 acres were soon under water.

Diana Agundez has graduated from a cryptology technician training program in the U.S. Navy. Patterson High junior Nancy Silva was named to the All-League basketball team, while sophomores L.E. Osteen and Sally Gill received second-team honors. 50 years ago — March 6, 1958 Sacred Heart Catholic Church has purchased 9.25 acres on M Street from Rolph Oster and plans to construct a parochial school. The purchase price was $25,000. Clarence Selander and Homer Brewer will co-chair the upcoming second annual Town and Country Days for the Patterson Lions Club.

Checks issued after March 4 will be held until further government action is taken. Other than a shortage of coins and small bills, local merchants are experiencing no problems.
