One morning Mrs. Ashton and I decided to switch two of the bedrooms, we had most of the small stuff moved and when Al came for our grocery order we talked him into helping us move the big things. He came back in the evening to visit Mr. and Mrs. Ashton and I and we discovered what a small world this is. When Mr. Ashton was young and single he had roomed at my Grandparents, Daniel and Anna Millard in Sierra Madre.

On Vermont Ave. in Los Angeles there were what they called "Clubs". They had food, soft drinks and beer. Also, a small dance floor and a small band, and slot machines called "One arm bandits". You could have a snack, dance and play the slot machines. We'd have a snack and dance. We also watched people play the slots and one time I asked Al for money to play the slots for I thought they were ready to pay off and several different times they did. We started a bank with this money and when we got married we had enough to buy our posts and pans, silverware and frying pan set. (remember these were depression days, 1935. Al was earning $20.00 per 6 day week (74 hours) and I started at $5.00 with room and board and I got a raise to $10.00 + room and board.

On a beautiful Sunday Al took me to Aunt Wanita and Uncle Forests in Eagle Rock. I wanted him to meet them since my parents were back in Iowa. We also went up to Sierra Madre
