1957: Clovis police reported just one accident over the weekend, but it involved three vehicles in the 200 block of West Grand Avenue.
A 1951 four-door car driven by Helen Anaya, 19, of 1221 W. Grand, struck a car driven by Eutemio Gonzales, 20, of Route 4, from the rear. The force of the crash knocked Gonzales' vehicle into one driven by Donald Gibbs, 19, of 1221 Hull St.
The crash happened in front of the Country Store.
No injuries were reported, but the three cars combined sustained $345 worth of damage, police said.
1952: A Clovis News-Journal advertisement announced "The Silver Grill School For Waitresses Is Now Open."
Positions featured "salary while learning" and "pleasant hours - either day or night."
"Here is your opportunity to become efficient in the serving of food," the ad continued.
Interested applicants were asked to apply in person to Louis Garrison at the downtown Clovis restaurant.
