yamadaSalvador J. Felix, chief photographer for the Glendale News-Press from 1940 until 1971, was a significant presence at Glendale's civic, business and social events. He was at "virtually every event of public interest, herding the great and near great around so they will pose correctly," according to the Jan. 13, 1949, News-Press. Known to everyone as "Sal," Felix created photographic records of traffic accidents, society events, homicides, fires, floods, celebrities, animals, children, tragedies, celebrations and important moments in the city.

Warren M. Thomas is beginning research on the history of the area that includes the C. E. Thom and E. M. Ross holdings, with an emphasis on the Rossmoyne-Bellehurst Park areas. He has spent some time in the Special Collections Room at the Glendale Public Library and is checking with people having interest in the field to see if similar projects are in progress. "My goal in this project is primarily personal, as I live in the Rossmoyne neighborhood." Thomas would like to communicate with historians who have more than an anecdotal knowledge of the area.

Claudia Peschiutta MONTROSE -- A little water isn't enough to dampen the spirits of this community. A break in a water pipe at the Montrose-Crescenta Library earlier this year damaged about 2,000 children's books but locals are working to replace the collection. Among those helping to raise the estimated $54,000 needed to do so are the members of the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce, who donated $1,000 to the library for new books, according to a news release.
