CREEDON A FEW RANDOM NOTES My mind is in a jumble this week with moving and working extra long hours and trying to adjust to the new surroundings, so please, dear readers, bear with me. For the past week I have been bombarded with so many questions that 1 take this opportunity to ans-wer a few of them. Last week's article was not my last. I hope to continue for some time or until 1 run out of subject matter. If my articles have brought you some pleasure in recalling plea-sant memories of old Bingham, 1 am thankful. It has been just short of a year that I have endeavored to help you relive the past. I never intended to write so many but it seemed that about the time I would run out of ideas, something would happen to refresh my memory. We are happy in our new home and with the many old friends near-by, it has not been difficult to make the adjustment that usually com. es with moving, the making of new friends and a c q u a intances. Wo have traded the Oquirrh mou ntains for the Wasatch and where we arc we can see both in Wolfe Yard and one in Mayne Yard, the first occupant as you come into Bingham is ot 76 Main, just below the Addcrley and Nich-ols Service Station. Remember how many lived there before? In fact that was the heart of Frogtown with the many homes extending to the underpass and on both sides of the canyon. And what interesting things the bulldozer reveals as it tears away the houses and walls. In Mayne Yard is the old ovens of one of the many bakeries we used to have. Very few knew that the house at 9 Mayne Yard hid this from view, but there it stands revealed, complete with brick walls and arched roof and the doors for the fire and the ovens where that delicious Creek bread was made. Who ever thought that the wall at the Sullengcr home ot 358 Main hid a huge boulder weighing several tons. It is so large that the bull-dozer could riot lift it just pushed it out of the way. Evidently the wall was built with a slight curve to encompass this huge stone and still make room for the roadway. When some of the homes are cleared away, it is hard to believe that the space they occupied was large enough, but the builders hacked away at the rock walls and made room for the buildings. From a fireman's viewpoint, 1 shudde rwhen 1 see some of the wiring in the old buildings revealed for the first time. Lady luck was with us through the years. These houses were wired for the electrical appliances of an early day, when maybe a curling iron for milady's tresses was the largest user of current. Yet some of those circuits took care of irons, washers, radio aand TV sets, space heaters and the many other electrical ap-pliances we enjoy today. Some of the tricks the masons used to erect chimneys so they would bypass rafters and make turns so they could be used in four corners are amazing. They evident-ly knew their business for there they stand forlorn and alone but staunch and erect as the day they were built. Uptown, near the old Bingham Meat Co., 1 noticed the pigeons gathered and they seemed puzzled. There was no wheat for them, for their friend, Bill Harris, who fed them every day, was gone. Our feathered friends also feel the chill of approaching doom for all the things we held near and dear to our hearts. Mr. Creedon ran8e ' one time. To further make us feel at home, we have some of the ood and lawn from 192 in Bingham in our back yard, so at a moment's notice I can step on Bing-ham's ground again. While making the mail route the past three weeks, I have made sev-eral observations that I pass on to you for what they may be worth. Little did wc realize that we had the makings of a beautiful park in lower Bingham. Take the area from the city limits to the site of the Panos apartments and you have a fine grove of trees with a large area for parking. All that would be needed would be some grass and tables and a picnic ground deluxe is on hand. It is hard to realize how wide tha canyon is at that point. With the exception of two homes JORDAN DISTRICT WORKSHOP INSTITUTES TO START AUG. 24 Jordan District Board of Educa-tion workshop and teacher insti-tutes ore scheduled to be held the coming week starting Thursday, August 24, according to Reed II.

ONE YEAR SINCE ECHO SATELLITE WAS LAUNCHED One year ago on August 12, the Echo I satellite was launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. On August 15, con ventional telephone circuits and Echo were linked together to trans-mit the first telephone call via sat-ellite. The 100 foot ballon made of aluminized plastic material celebra-ted its first anniversary aloft Sat-urday when it crossed the equator for the 4,481st time. Although its surface is wrinkled somewhat like the skin of a dried prune the satellite is still being used as an efficient reflector for radio signals. It is expected to remain in orbit at least two more years. Echo was shot into space a year ago nt 2:40 a.m. (Mtn. Standard Time) and was directed into nearly perfect orbit, 1,000 miles above the earth, by a guidance system de-veloped by the Bell Telephone As the satellite sped the earth, information about its course was fed to two giant an-tennas NASA'S at Goldstone, Cal-ifornia and the Bell System's at Holmdel, New Jersey. Two hours after launching, at a point somewhere above Nebraska, the satellite was within radio range of both stations and these words came over the loud speaker at Holm del "This is President Eisenhower speaking." For many days thereafter voice broadcasts, telephone conversations photographs and data messages were caromed back and forth across the continent with Echo, traveling 16,000 miles an hour, serving as a reflector for the radio signals. Echo clearly demonstrated the feasibility of satellite communica-tions and the Bell System and NASA recently signed an agreement for launching at least two experimental satellites. The Bell System will de-velop the satellite and pay for the rocket and launching costs. NASA will provide for the availability of the launching vehicle and facilities. The first satellite will be put into orbit next April. This one will be "active" in that it will contain transmitting and receiving equip-ment. It will be roughly spherical but may have as many as 60 flat surfaces or gemJike facets. Solar cells, invented at Bell Laboratories, will be mounted on the facets to provide power to operate transmit-ting and receiving equipment. The solar cells will be covered with sapphires and it is hoped the satel-lite will endure the rigors of space for 1 0 years or more. The - Bell System's experimental satellite should be able to handle 600 two way transoceanic telephone calls or "live" TV. ST. PAUL'S METHODIST Rev. M. R.
