Nice Idea, Preserve Past; Rub Is, Where To Put It?" The article discusses ideas for a pioneer village in San Jose similar to those in other places like Bakersfield, Wawona, Salt Lake City. The reverse page is an article from October 20, 1963, "Area Landmarks Slipping Away One By One," comprising a near full-page letter to the editor from Rev. William N. Abeloe, "Historian Sounds Call," and a smaller article, "Why Not San Jose? Other Cities Find A Way."

The historian, Rev. William N. Abeloe, asks what its fate will be." 6) Gonzalez-Peralta Adobe wall being shaved by workman: "One wall of the historic Peralta adobe, perhaps the oldest building in San Jose, was 'shaved' a bit in 1949, when this picture was taken, to make room for a new structure. Can anything be done to save this monument to San Jose's past?"
