Re: Dave's broken arm?

I did not remember that snow fell on three consecutive nights! I don't think we got more than one snowfall on Berendo. Won't happen again, now, unless they dig that tunnel to Greenland that I've been recommending, the Glacial Runoff Canal? It's an incredible, incredible idea and many, many wonderful people have expressed profuse thanks to me for it! We'll make Mexico pay for it.

Thanks Al,

That pin points the date to middle to latter January 1949. We have a photo of an L.A Timeswith the snow headline dated January 12, 1949. The magazine used for the splint was probably and old issue as Mike explains. If it were a Life magazine it might have been the one with Eisenhower on the cover, but could have been one of many others. Speak up Dave. Which one was it? :-)

He was still eight in August, so maybe he was just nine when he was still in the sling. I remember the splint as Life magazine. I'm not sure we subscribed--we got our Saturday Evening Post's in those days as castoffs from Aunt Doris, who got them, as the address label told us, from Mrs. Tuohy across 104th from the Felixes. Also, there may have been more than one magazine in the splint.

Dave,
When you broke your arm back in the late 40's at the Southside Theatre building site, Dr. Beckner came to our house and used a magazine as a splint. Do you remember the month and year? And if so, do you remember anything about the magazine that was used? Was it a Life or Saturday evening post magazine. It might be fun to see what the contents of that magazine issue was.
I remember that momma subscribed to several magazines in those days.

Re: Dave's broken arm?

Mike,

It would have to have been early in 1949 when Dave broke his arm. I don't know how long it took to complete the building but the theater was still in the foundation digging stage when Dave broke his arm and it was already showing movies in late summer early fall. We haven't heard from Dave yet. He must remember something of what showed on the outside of the magazine.

Re: Gordo

Hi Al,

Thanks for the link to the Gordo comics. This was a favorite of my mother's. The guy did great art work in the Sunday comics. After Gordo was no longer carried in the L.A. papers, I discovered it still being printed in a Montana paper I subscribed to for a while in the 70's. I wish the resolution was better on some of the scans. I agree with one of the commenters that it's past time for a book on Gordo and Gus Ariola. I certainly would buy it.

John Slagle history.

Marilyn Slagle sent this.

Here's a little bio about my dad. I don't know the exact year my parents bought the house on 112^th, but they did live there during WWII. Many friends and relatives stayed with them during the war, including Jack and Ella Linard, because of the housing shortage in L.A. at that time. They were able to pay off the mortgage on the house with tips Dad earned as a bellhop. My parents and I moved from 112^th in 1959.

Marilyn

After arriving in Los Angeles in the 1920s, John B. Slagle took a job with the Los Angeles Steamship Company as the orchestra leader onboard a ship going between L.A. and Honolulu. He played the tenor banjo and steel guitar. It was an exciting time for him and he always talked about how great traveling by ship was. Later he was a bellhop at the Biltmore and San Carlos Hotels in Phoenix, Arizona and at the Stillwell Hotel in L.A. He also worked as an elevator operator at the Jonathan Club in L.A. In the 1950s he was manager of a gas/service station in L.A. near his home at 1101 W. 112th St. In the early 1960s John and his wife, Mary, had a franchise with Gingham Girl Donuts. There were two locations -- one at the SE corner of Garey and Foothill in Pomona, the other at the SE corner of Indian Hill and Arrow in Claremont. It was hard work with long hours. When the company filed for bankruptcy, they lost everything they had put in. They did manage to keep the recipe book for the donuts though. John then went to work for long-time friend, Bill Harris, who owned a music store in Ontario, California. He gave banjo lessons and repaired electronic organs and other musical instruments.

Re: Gold mine

Apparently there wasn't much there as they did not work the same mines again the next year. However, Theron went back to the same area to try a different idea on his own. There was a large crack in the rock bottom of the river in an area where he was able to stake a claim. The idea was to divert the river and dig out all the gravel in the crack on the assumption that any gold would have ended up there.

He had an American Indian from the area working with him as a partner. They worked all summer getting the river diverted. He said that often the indian would go off to town and be drunk for a day or two. One day, as they were almost finished Theron had to go to town for supplies. The Indian begged to go along and promised he wouldn't drink. When Theron came back out of the store he was gone. Theron went back and worked as hard as he could because he heard a storm was coming and he knew it would wash out all their work. He finished as best he could and started digging out the gravel as much as he could before the water came and washed it all away. He made a small amount. When the Indian showed up he was very apologetic and told Theron he could keep the profits, but Theron felt bad and gave him half. Basically he just made enough to cover expenses. He said there was a group of Chinese workers at the next claim up doing the same think and they got out $8000 worth of gold.

The next year, Theron was drafted into the Army. He never said whether he planned to go back and try again.

On Google Earth I found the waterfall grandma talked about in her letter.

It is at 39 55' 40"N and 121 40' 55.5" W

Other interesting reading is page 68, Nella's mother writing to her sister and brother in 1878. She was not raised with them and I believe this was the first contact she had with them.

Hi Al,

Great find among your Mom's stuff! I know so little about Berendo neighbors. Did you know there was a connection between the Slagels and the Garners before you found your grandmother's letter?

In the photo, John Slagel looks a lot like Neil Patrick Harris of "How I met your mother". We have those other photos on the Berendo photo page of John Slagel at his gas station on Imperial and Vermont but he is already older than in the present photo. I wonder what the radio show was about? It obviously included music as Slagel is holding a violin. I remember you mentioning previously that Slagel had a band that used to practice at their house across from yours.

One of the nine pages of your grandmother's letter is missing. Can you still get it? She is a capable writer. She had me hanging by a thread and then no conclusion to the letter.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Hi everyone,

In going through mom's papers I found papers from her older brother Theron. One was called a Proof of Labor affidavit issued by Butte County in 1938. I did a little research and found that in order to keep a mining claim the owners had to prove they were working the claim.
I knew from my grandmother's letters that her oldest son Theron was working for the owners at a mine near Chico. The names of the workers were on the side. D.M Slagle, T.H. Garner and
J.A. Chapman.
I sent an email to Marilyn Slagle and asked if he were a relative. She replied that he was an uncle and sent a picture of her uncle Dallas at his radio show on KFOX in the 50's. He is the tall man at the microphone. John Slagle is on the far left.
The picture and the affidavit are here on Dropbox. Also, for those who are interested there is a nine page letter from my grandmother to her sister in Australia telling of her trip to visit the mine in 1939

Re: Gold mine

Thanks for getting that last page Al. Many questions about the gold mine come to mind. I wonder how the claim was discovered as it was so hard to get there. And what ultimately happened with the effort?

Hi Johnny,
I didn't know there was a connection till after the Garners moved to 112th in 1947. But apparently they met earlier through mom and dad.
I thinks the Radio show was entirely a music show. It was during the early 50's.
I found the ninth page and uploaded it but now can't find it on dropbox. Fortunately, it is also here with all her letters.
The final page of the story is #46, the top quarter. Then she starts a new letter.
