Show ff"e-"s: !! ill '- j j j !ii SAW M Well, sir, this might well be termed a gripe column. First off, why can't Rockwood Furniture put in some heavily screened windows for us sidewalk superintendents in the knot-hole-less plyboard walls that front its new construction? As a matter of fact Sterling Furniture, in its extensive remodeling re-modeling program on the six new storelets just east of its big emporium, em-porium, failed to do the same thing. So did Granite Holding in remodeling re-modeling its office building. And so have a half dozen other builders and rebuilders this last year or so. A good conscious sidewlak observer ob-server can't even find a knot-hole, and has to content himself with trying to squeeze a look through a warped crack and he can't get any perspective or angles on what is going on. Nothing's quite so frustrating as not being able to see what all that racket going on inside is. It's always popular to gripe about the weather, too. But it goes on, just the same. However, every time we feel inclined in-clined to remark about the sudden switch to summer, we like to remember re-member getting into deep snow near the Point of the Mountain, and remembering then, too, late, about our snow tires hanging dustily in the basement. That stint with the shovel can take the place of a lot of high rising mercury on the old thermometer, when it comes to summer gripes. And to those who griped about the improbable value and use of hanging flower pots as a crackpot crack-pot idea ought to know only two have been knocked down by high trucks running too close. And no single damage suit has even been thought of because the pots might leak onto some car parked beneath. (And besides that, insurance covers the sponsors against such crack-pot suits.) And, the city of Ogden would like to have the whole kit and kaboodle of these charming adornments transplanted there. So there! It's not such a bad world after all, its walled-in building program, its summer heat and its hanging flower pots notwithstanding. |
