Y entre las noticias sobre- salientes de la semana nos parece que la designacidn del Director de la Oficina de Asuntos Hispanos del Gobier-A- o de Utah es una de las mis importantes El Departamento de Desarrollo Economico y la Comunidad de Utah del cual depende la Oficina de Asuntos Lane Continued from Cl Pea Vinery was where the railroad track crossed over the road making its way through the fields toward Logan Ihe UIC railroad is another story which ought to be written by someone who was privileged to ride its tracks' Most of the youth had a choice They could either walk the track to Logan cutting through the fields or they could walk down the lane and along the highway to Logan My mother told of the many days she and others would walk the track to Logan work all day in the clothing mill and then walk home in the evening I don't know how far that would be but I guess it was about a mile and a half by the tracks and probably two miles down the lane During the winter months the Lane became a real haz-zar- d With open fields on both sides the wind kept the road covered with snow and ice There w ere very few vehicle drivers who could boast of not sliding off either one side or the other into the deep ditches Many teams of horses were used to drag the cars back up onto the road Online teen financial voluntaria y profesional Un ntimero de 4 candidates se considerd finalista y despuds' deun cuidadoso examen de sus antecedentes publicos se dejd en manos del gobemador para la designacidn final El nombre del Sefior Tony Yapias de odgen Peruano se nos dio a conocer

desempefio de su trabajo en el servicio de atencidna la comunidad latina en el estado de Utah Ahora con el amable per-mide usted apreciable lector veamos algunos de los comentarios que se han hecho so Another main problem was the fog in the winter and early spring months With no lights along the Lane and no markers along the sides of the road it was next to impossible to stay on the road Without the modem defrosters it was necessary to stop several times and scrape the windshields or drive with your head out the window Progress was bound to come And it started on both sides of the lane Part way down the lane a home was built and a bakery added Then a convenience store and gas station were added on the northwest comer along the highway A car wash was installed between the home and the convenience stoic Later on the bakery became a family restaurant I do not remember the exact sequence of events but it went something like this: The old Pea Vinery was tom down and after a few years the city purchased the property for a city pari o First it was just a ball diamond Then a con-cessions stand a bowery and picnic areas were added As time went on citizens made major contributions to the pail Today it is recognized as one of the finest baseball ' fields in the valley The ball ' park has also been the home of the Pony League World A COLUMN FOR SMNKH con motivo de este proceso

defrosters it was necessary to stop several times and scrape the windshields or drive with your head out the window Series A large new middle school was erected just west of the park making the sprats facility even more valuable and usable Storage sheds were added on the north side of the Lane and right next to them a new post office was erected to take care a growing city A subdivision brought several new homes to the top of the lane filling the fields with places for families to live and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere And being right much-need- ed across from the city park to was an ideal place to enjoy many recreational facilities — Soon a bank and automotive shop were buit along with other shops and medical facil- ities A miniature golf course was planned just off the lane and other entertainment facilities planned A large shopping mall was built to house many different shops And finally a movie theater one of the finest in the valley Oh yes and a new LDS chapel was built next to the middle school It seems that growth brings about all sorts of new enterprises to meet the needs of the added population Some time amid all these changes a stop light was installed at the bottom of the lane This not only made it possible to get onto the highway but also provided a set of lights visible from the top of the lane which made it possible to stay on the road in those severe winter nights Those lights along with the clock and temperature gauge at the bank and the neon sign by the mechanical shop really have added a greater visibility to the area During all of these changes on the lane the road was continually being tom up Irrigation ditches were piped water sewer and electrical lines were buried It seemed that both sides of the lane ' te Tony Yapias tiene un curriculum

final result was the end of the deep ditches on each side of the road Finally the road was widened making a turn lane Curb and gutter along with sidewalks brought about the finishing touches of ' a completely new thoroughfare Street lights were added making the lane no longer a hazzard fra winter driving Yes those deep ditches which we dreaded so much are long gone Up on the southeast comer where the old Pea Vinery used to be the citizens of Providence had a monument erected honoring all those who had fought for the freedoms we have enjoyed for so many years There are still several
