Marie Payne, lives in Clearfield and heard about the complex. Mrs. Bohe was among the first to move in and at 93, she still gets around well, although she recently suffered from a stroke that has slowed her down a bit. Along with many other residents, she enjoys meals and other activities offered in the commons area for those well enough to attend such functions. Each unit also has cooking facilities although some of the residents, called frail elderly," receive homebound meals on wheels. MRS. BOHE always led an active life,- taking organ lessons for the first time in her life at age 80. She still plays, although has slowed down, some. Up until her recent stroke, she maintained a large home in Sait Lake and did all her own yardwork, creates what her daughter calls beautiful handiwork and n was a cook, especially of breads. She grew up in Riverton, Salt Lake County, when that was a couple hours by horse and buggy from Salt Lake. She was the oldest daughter of children. 1 1 MRS. TIPTON was left without a mother at nine days old, moving from her native Ogden to her pioneer fathers ranch in the Bear Lake area. Her father opened up that region along with Charles C. Rich.

He moved to Layton where he picked up odd jobs during the Depression and later lived in Kaysville, working on the old Bamberger Railroad.

THE REVISION, approved unanimously by the city council, reduces the distance requirement to 600 feet. Police Chief Daren Green said the ordinance should have read 600 feet to begin with and blamed the problem on a typographical error. Since 6,000 feet is well over a mile, the chief said nothing would be allowed under the old ordinance. CHIEF GREEN told city council members Tuesday night that, in most cases, 600 feet is a reasonable distance between adult establishments and churches, schools or playgrounds. Councilman H. Kay Chandler raised some question over definitions in the new ordinance, pointing leathercraft says he likes the apartment setting because "all you have to do is open the door and youre outside without having to worry about outside maintenance.
