It is now $95 00. James E. Box Last week Police Chief James E. Box was the Mystery Personality. Today we wish to print the Jim Box Story as he tells Jim was a native of Payson. His mother, Mrs. May Box, still resides here: I, James E. Box, attended grade school at the normal age. I was a favorite of the lunch ladies. Unlike Oliver, they all tried to give me one more bowl of food; I wasnt skinny or anything like that. Personality was something I developed in school; I was taught how to act in public and also on the stage. I was in a play Where I played the role of a hobo named Willie." I left my old ladys house with her calling after me: Wait, Willie, Wait, until weve said grace." I also played a Continued on Back Page it Orchard hills main street To write column When J. C. Henderson, Editor and Pubof the Payson Chronicle called to request that I write the column Orchard Hills Main Street I had just one reaction, fear. It seems even more of a responsibility than the other columns I am writing He reminded me that the at present. column would be like most newspaper work, because of the limited funds which newspapers can pay it would be looked upon as a public service in some respects. I hope that I can help Payson and the residents in some way through the column, Mr. Henderson also asked that in this particular column I tell you something about myself. For those who dont know, I am first of all a wife and mother. My husband, Ernest and I have been married 31 years and are the parents of six children and one foster child. I am active in the LDS Church. I have been on the Primary and Relief Society Stake Boards, also ward Primary Sec., and have taught in Primary, MIA and Relief Society, and was editor of the Ward Paper for six years. At present I teach the Cultural Refinement Class in Relief Society. I am Secretary of the Library Board at Payson, County Vice Chairman of the Womens Farm Bureau, and Treasurer of a Writers Group. I am listed in Whos Who in American Women and Whos Who in the West. I am a so called free-lanwriter, have had stories, poems and articles, published. At the present time I write most anything but the thing I most want to write, stories My family tells me that I can do most anything with my writing but make money and I think that they are right. As a goal in life I have tried to practice the golden rule. I believe that each of us has a definite responsibility in life and that istodo the best we can and to be the best person we can each day we live, and to remember that we are responsible for what we are and not blame other generations or other conditions for what WE do. I ask your help in this new cojumn, any time that you know of something that concerns Payson, its businesses or people and which should be in the column I would surely appreciate it if you would let me know. You know, bad news travels fast, but often the good things arent publicized because people dont know about them, so let me know of the good things you see or hear about. Lets make Payson the best city in Utah. lisher ce J Mrs. Ruth Rothe Payson is a GOOD place to live! Most of us who have resided here for a while realize this to be a fact. But, have you noticed how people from other areas are getting wise to the same idea? Almost daily someone from some place is making the decision to some day settle down here in the mountains and many of them are choosing Payson or the areas near by for their new home . Many of these folks are now living in the coastal states but I have also talked with people from Colorado and other near by states as well as others farther east who have the same idea. These people have various reasons for making this choice but most of them have some basic ideas on the subject. Some of these reasons are: The air is fresher and not so contaminated with smog, etc., their is less crime and evilness, things are quieter and not moving at such a breakneck speed, people care about their neighbors, people are more devoted to religion, people have a better sense of values, there are so many advantages sportswise. These are just a few of the advantages they are seek- ing and finding here. With people looking to us to help fulfill these requirements we find that we have definite responsibilities. Our city and our state are just what we as the Residents make them so we must all do our part. If we are going to continue tobreathegood clean air we must ever be alert not to contaminate it in any way. If we are going to continue to have less crime than the larger cities we must earnestly try to obey the law and to uphold our law officers and in every way discourage the law breaker or those who are trying to bring in evil influences such as drugs. We sometimes feel that life is too rushed here but we only need to visit the large cities to know that ours is a more relaxed life. We must show our friendliness to our present neighbors and to all who come here to live. We must live our religion. Whatever church we belong to doesnt do Payson, Utah LXXXIII Nebo Stake Center in Payson was filled with about 1500 people Tuesday evening, June 16, when this community and many visitors from turned out to honor Charles 'Chuck Warren at a program arranged in his honor. Special note was made of the courage Mr. Warren has displayed and in the astonishing comeback he has made in regaining his health and strength. Elder Charles S. Monson, one of the twelve apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, who was principal speaker at the program, said Mr. Warren is a living miracle in the fact that he has recovered to the extent that he was able to attend the event, stating that he saw him near deaths door when brought into a Salt Lake hospital last September. Patrolman Warren had been shot twice through the forehead by the driver of a car which proved to be fun.

A highlight of the program occurred near the close of the evening, when Mr. Warren was granted an earlier request and was handed the microphone. Haltingly for his speech was affected by the bullets, that entered his head he addressed himself to his superiors and fellow officers who occupied a section reserved for peace officers, to the church officials on the stand, and to the people gathered to honor him. He said he has learned to appreciate people more than ever and to love them. He said he was grateful for everything that has been and is being done for him. Trooper Warren and his charming wife, Dorothy, were seated in a place of honor at the left of the stand, just in front and under the stars and stripes of the American flag. Their son, Danny, 19, sat with them and other members of the family were in the first rows of the east section of seats. Warren is paralyzed on the left side and confined to a wheelchair. .. Special honor came in the appearance of Mrs. Calvin Rampton, wife of the governor of Utah. She said she has watched with admiration and awe as the people of Payson have rallied around Mr. Warren since the mishap that occurred last Sept. She presented Mr. Warren and his wife with small wrapped gifts, stating that they are tokens given for valor by her and the governor. A tribute to the fine qualities possessed by Mr. Warren was given by Blaine Montague, Bishop of Payson Fifth Ward. He said Mr. Warren had been a member of the bishopric with him and Hal Shuler until a few weeks ago. Mr. Montague praised Mr. Warren for his devotion to duty and for his respect for other peace officers. He told of fasting and praying for Warrens recovery and that he has faith that a full recovery will come about. Reed J. Money, president ofNeboStake, presided and was first and last speaker at the program. He stated that he had believed Mr. Warrens chances to recover were slight, but that due to his strong constitution and other reasons, Warren is alive today. Pres. Money said that his recovery is one of the miracles of the day." At the close of the meeting Pres. Money announced that a building and fund raising project is being sponsored by Payson Fifth Ward Bishopric. The present split level type home owned by the Warren family does not accommodate the special needs for caring for Mr. Warren while he is recovering.
