25 years ago — March 31, 1983 Stanislaus County plans a major improvement project at the Deer Creek campground 16 miles up Del Puerto Canyon at Frank Raines Park. Not only is the 1982-83 rainfall season a record-breaker, but the month of March is now the wettest month on record. March has recorded 6.95 inches of rainfall, topping the previous mark of 6.43 inches set in December 1940. Moisture has been recorded on 21 days this month. Patterson may have two live-in foxes, one of grayish color and the other red. Residents reported such sightings this week. A united Good Friday service will be conducted Friday evening at the Covenant Church. Appearing in theatrical productions directed by the Rev. Gary Grundman will be Steve Walker, Frank Soares, Susie Thorkelson, Irene Townsend and the Rev. Richard Kelly. 50 years ago — March 27, 1958 FFA member Darryl Dennis was a gold award winner in the American Trust Co.’s project competition, while Gene Armstrong, Gene Rose and Fritz Schali were silver award recipients. Two plans have been proposed for the route of the proposed West Side Freeway. One would place the route between Patterson and the Delta-Mendota Canal, while the other route would be to the west of the canal. Construction of four new tennis courts and renovations at the swimming pool are under way at the high school. The Patterson 20-30 Club has five new members, Lauren Campbell, Wade Bingham, Norman Gaspar, Chuck Bettencourt and Jerry Smith. John Schuler will chair the club’s annual hole-in-one contest, while Allister Allen will head the Easter egg hunt. 75 years ago — March 31, 1933 A special train will take about 100 Patterson students and parents to San Francisco next week to inspect Old Ironsides. The round-trip fare will be 80 cents for children and $1.60 for teachers and parents. Beginning next week, Pattersonites will for the first time experience the legal sale of an alcoholic beverage when beer goes on sale. Prior to now, the city has been legally dry. The Toggery in the Watson & Mack building is having a going-out-of-business sale. The men’s store has dress shirts advertised at 79 cents, ties at 19 cents, sweaters at 69 cents, belts at 25 cents, and work shoes at $1.79. The local Safeway store this week is selling salmon for 14 cents a pound. Patterson Irrigator archives
