For over fifty years men have watched the pass-ing parade on Main Street from this vantage point, and now, alas, it is no more. Built shortly after the turn of the century by Barney Quinn, the Diamond has been a gathering place for those who may have wanted to quench their thirst, en-joy a game of cards, shoot a game of pool or just meet some of the boys. I hold a deep affection for the old place, for it was there I was invited to join the Bingham Fire Department, wfth several of my pals just out of high school. Many of the firemen wero "regulars" at the Diamond. It was there that "Four foot six" and "Six foot four" would meet and make the rounds of the town. Old Timers will re-member them as Johnny Jackson and Jack Whitmore. Real firemen were they and real friends too. Another regular at the Diamond was Carl Carlson, chief of No. I Fire Department, and the best call shot pool player Bingham ever saw. It was there I watched Phil Cold-wate- r, former editor of the Bulletin do trick shots with a cue stick that made my eyes pop out. Earliest recollections of the pro-prietor of the Diamond was a Mr, Matthews, but I best remember Bill Collins and Joe Waters as Bill Collins could step right into the parlor of southern man-sion and assume the role of a Ken-tucky Colonel without a touch of makeup or change of clothing. Immaculately dressed at all times and with his sweeping mustache and silver white hair, and his big watch chain with a large Elk tooth dangling from it, he was a figure that you could not forget. Added to his appearance was him pleasing manner and friendliness. He owned a black Packard auto that was as big as a box car and Albert New-man was usually the driver. Joe Waters was a fine gentleman too. He had lived in the mining town of Aspen, Colorado, and knew my father there. I would listen to him by the hour spinning tales of the boom days in Aspen when sil-ver was Queen of the camp. Another good friend was Bob Wells, who was night bartender. Bob was a fireman and had been a police officer. He had a rare dry wit and a friendly smile that en-deared him to so many of the young men. He used to keep candy and other prizes we won on the punch boards in a special place and we would take them out on dates as we needed them. Another character at the Dia-mond was "Kidney Foot" Kings-bury. Kingsbury had been a waiter at the Chesapcak Cafe in Salt Lake City, a bartender and in later years he sold suits. He reminded me of "Cuddles" in the movies with his heavy hanging jowls and watery eyes. For the past fifteen years, Frank Katscapes and George Robos have managed the Diamond and have made a host of friends too with their friendly manner and fair deal-ing with their patrons. All of these men are gone from the local scene now and mcst of them have gone to their last rest, and the old Dia-mond is a pile of rubble, but the memories of many good friends and pleasant evenings at 499 Main remain.

UPTOWN SCENE SHOWS CHANGES Have you been up town lately and seen the changes only a short period of a few weeks can bring to a once bustling scene of business activity, the intersection of Main St. and Carr Fork: Just recently this very corner has taken on a quite changed look, in a manner of speaking and only a point of view, a sort of naked look. Landmarks that long have been a part of Bingham Canyon and a part of Bingham Canyon and a fa-miliar sight to residents are now gone from the local scene and fast becoming but memories. We are speaking of the Cyprus Hall in Carr Fork, the Bingham Stage Line Depot next to the city hall and The Diamond which was at 499 Main Street. The Stage Line has reloca-ted its depot tor tickets, etc., at Union Drug and the Diamond has discontinued business. The build-ings these businesses had occupied have been torn down and the ground on which they stood has been or is being leveled off. Also to be torn down in the very near future is the building around the corner of Carr Fork, housing the Carr Fork Bar and the Copper Trading Post, a souvenir shop. These businesses have relocated and moved this week into the building which formerly was the old J. C. Penney store on Main Street. Kennecott has been making the dust fly also by filling in the 6190 level to above the Bingham-Coppe- r-field tunnel, in order to move the tracks over for mine expansion. A .

Smith Is Mother Good Judge 01 Talent? A&U NOT SURE (JmA X HAVE THE MWSO jL TALENT TO Jffk-not so successful, but they pos-sess great "drive" and an over-whelming desire to be a success, no matter how much hard work and effort is required. It is a simple thing for a singer to learn whether or not he or she has talent. All they need do is go to some disinterested professional (and by disinterested we mean someone not a relative or friend of the family) and show what they can do. When one sings or per-forms before relatives and friends, or a local audience, compliments are expected. A perfect stranger is apt to speak more truthfully. On the other hand, v liile it is wrong for one not to fully utilize natural talents and abilities, there is seldom any future in training an individual to sing opera if this individual has the desire to be a doctor, lawyer, or a housewife. The greatest talent is certain to be wasted if there is no desire to utilize It and to work hard and to perfect it all the more. If 70a have a teensgs problem jam want to discuss, or an observation to make, address your letter to FOli AND ABOUT TEENAGERS, NATION-AL WEEKLY NEWSPAi-E- SERV-ICE, FBANKFOKI, KX. THIS WEEK'S LETTER: "My mother was quite successful lo-cally, as a singer. I am now 16 and she has had me taking singing lessons all my life. She thinks I have a great talent and she wants me to 'have the career she might have had.' I am not sure that I have the talent, nor the desire. What should I do?" OUR ANSWER: If you have neither the talent, nor the desire, then everyone's time is being wasted. If you have the talent, but not the desire, you will cer-tainly never utilize that talent to the highest degree . . . unless you can cultivate a desire more impor-tant than having the career that your mother might have enjoyed. It is not difficult for a person to evaluate his or her own desires and ambitions. While some may struggle through life without ever knowing "what they really want," they generally always know the things they do not want and do not like. The desire to achieve success is often enough to offset a lack of talent. Some of our greatest entertainers admittedly ha,ve less actual natural ability than others LIONS CLUB Bingham Canyon Lions Club held their annual family picnic at Cop-perton Park last Sunday afternoon. 51 adults, guests and children were in attendance at the outing. Ham-burgers with all the trimmings and watermelon were served and enjoy-ed by all. The committee in charge of arrangements were John J. Creedon, Verl Kendrick, Shirl Scroggin, W. H. Harris and Pete Dimas.
