Mountain View Police Department historian Doug Johnson sent in this undated photo of Depression-era “Down and Outs” being fed by local charities. “The parish priest is to the left, and police Chief Watkin Evans is at the far right. Evans’ attitude was very enlightened by the standards of the time, offering the transient men the relative comfort of his tiny jail if space permitted. Many of the men took advantage of the Chief’s hospitality, and welcomed the opportunity to sleep indoors.” A View on History runs the first week of the month.
