The local council of the Boy Scouts and W. (Marilyn) fym By Martha Tanner Payson High School Band was one of the many fine bands participating in the Mammoth July 4th parade at Provo. Iam sure I speak for all Payson citizens when I say that I was proud of them. Their marching and special routines, ably directed by V. L. Barnett, were well executed, and their music was good. The new uniforms added a great deal to their over-a- ll general appearance. To many they were just another band, but to me and other Payson citizens, they were the answer to a dream. That dream began many years ago, and for a while seemed to be unattainable. But hard work and able leaders have made that dream a reality. Id like to take this opportunity to thank those who worked so hard to make our band the fine organization it is today. To Mr. John Anderson and Mr. Gary Winkel, the teachers, Id like to express a special thanks for the many extra hours they have spent, and for their willingness to go forward in spite of almost unsurmountable obstacles. We do appreciate their efforts. Im just one parent, but Im sure I speak for many when I say thanks for a job well begun - not done - because there is still much more to do. And to Mrs. Mercedes Bjarnson, who has given of herself and her time so willingly, we are also grateful. So next time you see our band marching proudly, I hope your heart will be filled with pride and gratitude as was mine last Friday at Provo. Girls Camp. day Chairman.

Everybody Is Reading The Payson Chronicle An old newspaper clipping brings to light a story on a subject rarely heard of, public officials once took a cut in their salaries. The item is headed in large black letters BOARD TRIMS OWN SALARY. on to say, "Utah County commissioners cut their own salaries by $1,000 a year. The three commissioners voted to accept annual salaries of $4,500 instead of $5,500 they now receive. There is no date on the paper, but the economy minded commissioners are Sterling D. Jones, Verl G. Dixon and Burton H. Adams. A $1,000 raise had been authorized by the Utah Legislature for most public officials. Gov. J. Bracken Lees yearly pay went from $7,500 to $10,000 and other state officials and several county officers accepted increases in varied amounts. In refusing to accept the increase in pay, the Utah County commissioners in effect cut their own- salaries by a $1,000 apiece. The above was taken from a news clipping owned by Mrs. Robert L. Wilson of Payson. Her late husband was employed in the Utah County Courthouse for many years prior to his death several years ago.

The Forest Service and the Boy Scouts will soon enter into a cooperative agreement for the construction of the trail. Preliminary plans call for the Forest Service to provide the materials, tools and other equipment and for the scouts to supply the labor.

The campsite needed a few improvements because of erosion and other factors. The creek that ran through the site was diverting and washing the sides of the creek into the water. The troop built diversion dams to keep the creek in its right path. We then constructed a new pathway in order to keep people from crossing the old one where a spring was crossing the path. By doing this it stopped the path from being torn down. Another thing that needed fixing was the path. . The troop built steps to aid people in helping to keep the trail from being washed down when rain felL The last thing we did was to build two bridges over the creek to make the water easier to cross. Charles Howard Thomas readers of the Payson Chronicle: Last night my husband and I drove up beautiful Payson Canyon. I say beautiful with qualifications, as the littering along the road astounded us. Beer and pop cans were lying along the road in great profusion. Does not the no littering law apply to our canyons also? We stopped at a camping spot for a few minutes. The trash can was heaped up and garbage and more beer and pop cans thrown everywhere. Where is our pride? Why dont we do something about keeping our canyon one of the most beautiful and appealing in the state?
