Davit Evans Dear Reader: Our Towns, Payson and Spanish Fork, have experienced many changes since I first became acquainted with them a number of years ago. I suppose one of the most radical changes was the day the old Orem electric train made its last run from Payson to Salt Lake City. Probably the two greatest days He resolved not to drink, smoke or crcwse; his second resolution was not to have anything to do with wild women and his third one was not to pay any attention to the first two. There are lots of resolutions Id like to make such as getting caught up with my ironing, do all the sewing I already have cut out; remember all the people I have marked in my birthday book; visit all the people I think about visiting but never do; learn how to knit; keep all my windows washed and prepare all my MIA lessons a month ahead. There is one thing that really bugs me tho, and that is taking pictures. Whenever we have a picture show here at home and show slides, our little youngsters always question, Hey Mom wheres all the pictures of me? We have boxes of pictures of our oldest daughter; less of the second girl; a few of our son and hardly any of the last two little girls. So if I make any resolutions at all I think it will be to take more pictures of our kids and especially the two littlest ones. Then the next time we show pictures, they can say Gee, thats me. Look at me! Well, dinner has been sitting on the stove for about 12 an hour, so I suppose Id better start scouting the corrals and sheds to see if I can find a hungry husband who is ready for dinner. See you next week. in the history of South Utah County was the day the Orem1 made her first run and the day she made her last run. It doesnt seem so long ago but I have teenagers who think Pm talking about a town north of Provo when I say Orem. We accepted the old Orem as a way of life. She wasnt very pretty but she was a real swinger. I became very well acquainted with her when I rode her to school at the Brigham Young University one winter. One not only rode forward, but one rode up, down and sideways. If the miles were counted that one traveled in all directions, Pm sure he went one half mile to and fro for every mile traveled forward. The story is told of two college boys who when they left Springville, a board the Orem, were reading text books; one boning up on his Biology; the other on Psychology. When they arrived at Provo, the Biology boy had the Psychology book and vice versa. They were not sure at what point enroute the change was made. It was a friendly crew that manned those trains. Ive seen them wait for long periods of time for a late sister who would come galloping up main street waving her temple bag. Being a few minutes late wasnt as important as doing their Good Turn Daily. A friend of mine got loaded on a little too much home brew and he lost a silver dollar on the Orem Right of Way near where the Premium Oil Company is now located. He could see the silver dollar shining through the weeds, but he was having a difficult time coordinating his movements in picking it up. Right ir. the middle of his trying, the old Orem came swinging down the track on its way north. My pickled friend knew he had a friend on board so he stood there between the rails waving both hands at the oncoming barnlike vehicle. Yes, it stopped and a blue clad conductor came was going merrily on its way. You may not believe this story, but I can prove it. That fine fellow knocked the home brew habit; hes been on the wagon for years. The Orem had a number of ways of letting people know she was coming to town. Her wheels seemed to make more noise against the rails than the average train; she had a bell that clanged the full length of main street and another mile or two just for good measure; this bell was supplimented with an electric horn which when sounded, brought all conversation to a halt within a mile or two. She also carried a little wheel at the end of a long rod that connected her with the power line above and whenever this wheel came to an intersection of powerlines, a terrific pop took place. With the combination of these noises and a few more, everyone knew that the Orem was in town and many would set their clocks by her. (15 minutes off either way) but whats a few minutes of time between friends. I think I did my first reading on the Orem. Everything from soup to nuts was advertised along her walls right up next to the ceiling. As I recall, the first words I ever read were Bull Durham and the second group was Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. Dear Reader, I must tell you one more experience that caused me to gain a great deal of respect for this Galloping Goose as the college boys named her. I had a late play practice at the Y one winter night and I was just a few seconds late in getting down to the Orem Station in time to catch the 11:15. It was leaving Provo right on time for a change. The conductor had dropped the huge iron trap door that covered the two iron steps and he had closed the entrance door. I called but I knew I could not be heard above the crazy sounds the car was making so I crawled onto the steps under the trap door just as the "Old Goose pulled out. It was a cramped cold area that I was in, yet it wasnt so bad traveling through the residential part of Provo, but when we got out of town, Egads! I had never realized that thing could go so fast. She swayed and humped and hooted and I thought that any moment she would take off through ohe of those pastures. I had one hope: She would stop at Springville, but no she just off her, helped my friend pick up his dollar. He then led the happy fellow off the track, they shook hands and soon the Orem lamassaaaaaaaaaanna, The View From Here By Ruth Roth mnrmriTiriKnnrirmnnnririnnnf Ive always felt that Grandmothers were very special people. I had two fine Grandmothers, but as in the case in many families, I was much closer to the one than to the other. The chief reason for this was that the one was living just down the block and the other was living far away in California. Grandma was baby sitter, confident and friend to each of her grandchildren. She was an excellent cook and was always eager to share her goodies with us. This was the thing which posed a problem for my mother. .Often in the afternoon mamma would take us down to visit and we would only be there a minute or so until my youngest Grandma sister would say, Im hungry. Mamma didnt like this habit and was determined to cure Laura. So, before wed leave for Grandmas house she would offer Laura some cookies or milk or some other treat but it never failed that before we had been there very long, we would hear the familiar phrase and know that once more we had not succeeded. Of course, Ill have to ad- slowed down clanged her bell hooted her horn, but no one was there to get on or get off, so away we went again and if I thought she traveled fast from Provo, I had things to learn; she went wild between Springville and Spanish. I guess she knew she was headed for the barn in Payson. She did stop in Spanish Fork and as I crawled out from the cold iron cubby hole, I realized I had learned more in the past few minutes than I had learned all day at college. I had learned that if I wanted to live long, I had better ride on the inside of that beast or not ride at all... Im not sure of the birth date of the old Orem, but I do know she lived and contributed her bit to the comfort and convenience of our towns. Im ink some town along the right of way of the old Orem should get a car of the line and set it in cement in their park so that we might remember another of the things that were and shall never be again. Susan Nelson Wins Make It With Wool in Jr. Division Interpreting fashion to suit individual personality; learning to combine colors, form, pattern, and texture for that final effect that is just right, won for two talented young seamstresses the top spots in the 21st annual fashion r3vue sponsored by the Woolgrowers Auxiliary of District 11. Susan Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill A. Nelson of Spanish Fork, was winner in the junior division, and Nadine Elaine Maxfield, A BYU student and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vard Maxfield of Salt Lake City, won the senior division and will represent the district at the annual state competition January 11, in Salt Lake in conjunction with the Utah Woolgrowers Convention. Mrs. J. R. Sayer, president of the Central Utah Woolgrowers Auxiliary, sponsors of the contest, welcomed the guests and introduced Mrs. Newell A. Johnson, State president of the Woolgrowers Auxiliary, who gave an informative talk on wool. Nine girls in the Junior Division, ages 14 through 16, and 17 girls in the Senior Division, ages 17 to 21, modeled garments they had fashioned. Shown were dresses, suits, coats, and ensembles. The girls represented Provo, Springville, Orem, Payson, Spanish Fork and San-taqu- in. Mrs. Releigh F. Williams was the director, and she was assisted by Mrs. Lee Jarvis and Mrs. Sterling Ercanbrack Mrs. Barnett Dewey was the clever commentator. Appropriate music was furnished by Mrs. JackV. Dixon. Mrs. James W. Webster 'gave modeling instructions to the girls. Judging was done by Mrs. Robert Hansen of Provo; Mrs. Roland Hanson of Spanish Fork, and Mr. Jon Clark of Provo. Other valuable prizes of wool lengths, sewing kits, sewing aids, and fashion books were presented to outstanding tumes. mit that even if Laura had been able to control her appetite. Grandma wouldnt have been too helpful because she was just naturally a hospitable person and would have offered us something tasty before we left for home. But one thing that mamma noticed was that Laura wasnt fussy about what she ate at Grandmas and mamma also knew that she was a good cook herself so she came to a definite conclusion when Laura eagerly ate a slice of plain bread and butter after she had refused a slice of chocolate cake at home just prior to leaving for grandmas house. Mamma decided that for little girls, food just tasted better away from home and that it was no reflection on her own cooking. So if you have a youngster who is full to the brim and couldnt take a bite at home and then claims to be starving to death when she goes visiting with you, just think back to your own childhood days and see if you dont hold dear the memory of days long ago when you sat on your Grandmothers porch and ate something from her kitchen which couldnt be equalled by a French chef. cos- Advertising revenue of daily newspapers in 1966 ($4.9 billion) broke all newspaper records, topping 1965 revenue by 9 12 percent and nearly doubling the dollar volume of television.
