Show .ROUND THE ever come to call on me. Transoms were status symoblsof once upon a time." I suppose they ventilated those high ceilings, but to me they were just more window area to wash, door framing to paint and a sight to behold. In movies of the old west that we see a great deal of on TV, about the only use a transom has is for a feller to look through from a table top and watch a crook or a girl in the next room. Im glad they disappeared with the high ceilings. The mop boards of the 80's were widower makers; I imagine many a woman scrubbed herself to death on those things. Why need a mop board be one foot to 18 inches high? It could have been that those old boys had such high heating bills in those tall houses, they would go around kicking the 'mop boards, so with a good substantial mop board, the plaster walls could be saved. Now getting back to that house I remodeled; it fell my lot to shingle that steep roof. Eh Gads! I had my insurance doubled by the time I finished that job. That roof was so steep that snow couldnt even hang there. Not only did I nail a large plank back of me to plant my feet against, but I tied a rope around my waist thence around the chimney. I even thought of getting me a war surplus parachute 3 Iszjom'azi by ft Davis Ivans Dear Reader: I bought an old adobe house to remodel a few years ago. I suppose it was built during the 1880 s, some of the architectural design of that house bothered me to no end. Why our pioneer ancestors used such planning in their construction is one of the great mysteries. Why would an ordinary house need 10, 11 or even 12 foot ceilings in it? The average man is about 5 foot 8 inches in height, he would therefore have 5 or 6 feet above him that he cant use. There is a class room in the old Educational Building at the Brigham Young University that is about 20 feet long, 20 feet wide and 14 feet high. I asked a professor, who was about as old as the room, why the dear old men of days built such a room. He said that the builders of yesteryear believed that high ceilings were necessary to keep the air fresher. That room also had three windows big enough to drive a team of horses through. Being a depression child, I always worried about the heat loss; Id look up toward the ceiling which was almost beyond my range of vision and think of the heat it took to warm that area where no one ventured, except a workman on a tall ladder and he only tried it once every 4 or 5 years. I suppose it was rooms like that one that influenced me to put 7 14 foot ceilings in my home when I built. I couldnt think of one person over seven feet tall who might by-go- ne M 0 t laaamamaaaaaaanaaaaat. The View From Here By Ruth Roth mnnnnnnfinnnKjnnnnrmnnnt Harriett and Uncle Ben stopped in the other night in their new car, and it really is a beautiful one. Its a lovely luxury model car and one which most Aunt anyone would be happy to own. We were glad to see that they had finally traded their old model in and happy that they could get such a wonderful new one. When we exclaimed over the color and sleek just in case of emergency. I dont know too much about pitch of a roof but that one was just about straight up. It was a real widow maker. I was told by an old timer that they made roofs steep like that to preserve the I suppose the argument was shingles. sound but Id rather preserve life than shingles. Society killed people by their architecture in those days; we kill them on our highway today. When I compare modern architecture with the old, I feel that more revelation is in evidence now than 100 years ago, at least in the building game. design and other points which were so apparent in the new car Aunt Harriett started to cry. It certainly wasnt the reaction you usually get when you hand out the compliments and we were surprised and bewildered. Uncle Ben seemed to think that he had better explain and he stated that Aunt Harriett hadnt wanted to sell the older car. She had become so attached to it that she had gotten the idea they were being disloyal to just abandon the old car that had given them so many years of good dirt she had started working on it, and always after putting it in the garage she had carefully wrapped an old bedspread around it to protect its shiny waxed finish. She recalled the many fine trips they had enjoyed in the car and how it had never given them any real trouble. She stated that it had even been especially considerate when it did have problems. If tires went flat it was always at a convenient spot, not out in the wilderness. When the fuel pump acted up it was near a service station so that it could be remedied immediately. Even during the coldest, hottest or stormiest weather it had always started without a whimper. According to Harriett it was the very best automobile that had ever been manufactured and she would never feel good about selling it. I was sure that if Uncle Ben had driven back to the dealers showroom and offered to take the old car straight across for the new one she would have been delighted. We happened to know a newly married couple who were in the market for a good used car at a reasonable price, so we called them and told them about Aunt Harrietts car and before the day was over it was in their garage. We called and told Aunt Harriett all about it and she was d. She said service. Aunt Harriett had worried that some hot rodding teenager might buy the old car and in his wild driving total it out or something equally as bad. She wondered if it would be a smoker who would buy it and in his carelessness burn holes in the lovely upholstery or in the carpet and she hated to think of the stale smoke odor in the clean smelling car which they had cared for so lovingly all those years. She was sure if a tailgater bought the would be no time at all until the car would be dented and crushed and she was positive that no one would keep the car as spotless and shiny as they had done. Aunt Harriett had been extremely fussy about caring for the car. At the least sign of car it over-joye- THE 2-- B PAYSON CHRONICLE Thursday, October 2, 1969 Drivers ed.

I was sure that the car had found the right home when the little bride said that she was covering the car with a plastic tent to protect its beautiful shine. ItllvMli : .
