Where little shops and businesses busi-nesses once stood, people would stop, visit and discuss dis-cuss the weather and happenings hap-penings of the day. Small adobe and log homes dotted dot-ted the streets, and many a pleasant exchange was given over the backyard fence while clothes were hung out on the line to dry. Schools and churches were constructed in the most ornate design. The scene has now been upgraded up-graded to the 20th and 21st century mode of buildings. School rooms are now all on one floor, and hundreds hun-dreds of children attend each school Instead of one or two or three teachers, many are now employed. Drinking fountains and restrooms are located strategically stra-tegically throughout the building. Gone is the two or three holer in the little building out back of the school. The water bucket sitting at the back of the room with a dipper that was used by all the students needing a drink is no longer there. The slate has been replaced by bound reams of paper, colored pencils, crayons, watercolors and lead pencils pen-cils - and computers!

It was on the site where the Center Street LDS Church is today. The home to the left is the Patrick home. all over the town. Walking to school, to church and to the market is fast disappearing disap-pearing as well. With old dobbin put out to pasture, his usefulness has been upgraded to putting 385 supposed horses under the hood of a metal machine with four wheels. Hay and grass were cheaper. Or are they? The churches about town are all sporting steeples now, all designed after much the same architectural architec-tural pattern, but accommodating accom-modating so many more people. The hand held fans used on hot days to cool oneself have been replaced by an invention called air conditioning. Trips to the mountain gathering firewood to feed the potbellied stove enabling it to heat the chapel cha-pel have been replaced by another natural commodity commod-ity piped into an invention called a furnace. The sounds of horses clip-clopping down the dusty, rough roads about town have been replaced by the honking of noisier modern conveniences as they cruise down the asphalt as-phalt covered streets. Gone are the days of the tipping of the hat and the wave of the hand as one passes by in his merry mobile. Homes are so much bigger big-ger now. Gone are the vegetable veg-etable gardens out back that supported a family's needs for the summer and winter. No cows to milk, no butter to churn, no yummy cream to cover a piece of homemade bread and sprinkled with sugar. The games of yesteryear yester-year are unheard of now, Annie - "I" over, kick the can, no bears out tonight, etc. Gone are the weenie roasts, fresh corn and newly dug potatoes from the garden, roasted in the big bon fire out back with all the neighborhood children chil-dren in attendance. How many youngsters today know what a shovel and hoe are, or how to use them? 1 CI mWIM Froze" y 81 So.Main;St,Sprindvil!e 71 awc This old photograph shows the water tank being constructed on 200 South and 400 West next to the old railroad station that was there.

When this building was built in 1909 it was the Second Ward. It was renovated and added onto a few times before its demolition this year due to vandalism. 1 p. f: ' 4 tmm, i in ii .in mi lK3 ASK FOR BUD J0LLEY Sal ndt 7-J1-07. tiki 75920 " Sandpaper T21 SP Steeps 6, oensrator, 30 gal fuel statton. 106 gallon water, AC, microwave, duel electric queen bed.
