There was no one waiting to meet him! in comThrough an unfortunate mix-u- p munication, Scotts parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bigler, were not informed of their missionary sons return. They had anxiously been awaiting some word for more than a week. Scott, in turn, was unaware they hadnt been notified. Preparations had been made for the homecoming. Scotts mother, Evelyn, had painted welcome signs which she planned to mount on the front door of their home, and another one in his room. After waiting at the airport for about half an hour Scott called and asked his mom and dad where in the heck they were and things went flying. There was no time to think about welcome signs, and the freeway speed limit between Payson and Salt Lake was pressed all landed the way.

Swenson of Spanish Fork and a director of the Community School Program, said school buildings should be used by the people of the community whenever the need arises, as long as it does not conflict with day time programs. Swenson emphasized that schools are to be used by everyone in the community regardless of age, race, religion or place of residence. Several schools in the district have been designated as community schools with directors to administer programs. These schools may be used for discussion groups, for solving community prob- lems, for appropriate family activities, as well as for the formal classes. Listed are the schools which are open as community schools and the directors: of each: Payson High School, Joe Worthen; Spanish Fork High School, Jack J. Swenson; Springville High School, Dean Allan; Springville Jr. High School, Michael Lang and Santaquin School, John K. Johnson. Two sessions will be scheduled for adult education and community schools during the 1972-7- 3 school year. The first will begin this fall and the second in early spring. Most community schools will have special classes and programs planned when there is no regular session. Anyone interested in these classes rttjy contact any of the community sctwjot rectors.

Vivian Montague, oldest surviving memveteran ber of the lodge and a of the International Order of Odd Fellows, told the Chronicle, Im sure well go ahead and well fix it up to where it will look as respectable as any building in town because we dont want to have anything that doesnt look good. He said he expected the lodge to decide in the near future exactly what the renovation project will include. town ar Chronicle Programs Amendments Series Utah voters next month have an opportunity to revamp and modernize their government. The general election ballot gives them the option of moving into the jet age or continuing in an era past. Changes they will be asked to decide would: own auditor give the legislature and lawyer and permit key lawmakers to labor and be paid for that work when the legislature is not in session. It would also eliminate a great deal of the red tape written into the constitution as a result of fear of government 100 years ago. deny bail to a suspected criminal already out on bail, on probation or parole after conviction of a previous felony. the requirement for cities of the first and second class to maintain separate school districts even though they might be in the middle (Provo) of another its district. allow optional forms of county government as opposed to the present county commission in each county. This further would require voter approval at the polls. The Payson Chronicle next week will begin a fcur part series authorized by Rep. Robert 0. Bowen of Spanish Fork explaining in detail the purpose of each proposed amendment. Bowen now serves on the interim Legislative Council which functions as a watchdog agency snooping out problems to be solved by the next session of the legislature. three-memb- er Fair Ribbon for Payson Industry Montague, who observed his 80th birthday last week, made no secret of his displeasure with a Chronicle suggestion the building probably could be restored as inexpensively as any in the city. But I tell you a lot of stores in Payson need fixing up in the front just as bad as ours does and some of them a whole lot worse, he insisted. The veteran Odd Fellow praised the downtown development, adding the lodge paid the city more than $900 as its share of the cost. But he was critical of the benches scattered throughout the business district. I havent got time to come downtown and sit down and I dont believe a lot of others do either, Montague said.

Councilman Phillip Lundell, after a fire was started at the dump early Friday, promised city employes would be instructed to see all debris is covered after garbage crews make their final run of the day. Mayor Howard Riley said the city has contacted a number of persons who live near the dump and has their promise they will report anyone seen lighting a fire or anyone suspected of such activity. However, once a fire starts, the mayor explained, it is a near physical impossibility to put it out while garbage crews are dumping there. But, I want to assure everyone the city will douse any smoldering fire at the end of the day. The best way to keep smoke from biUowing into the air from the dump, the mayor stressed, is to prevent fires from starting in the first place. That is the goal of the city administration. I also support Councilman Lundell in his insistance that all refuse be covered at the end of each working day, the mayor added. of each working ATTEND FALL CONFERENCE A group of Payson women attended the annual fall conference Saturday atSpring-viU- e for officers and members of the Utah Federation of Womens Clubs.

From the first time that we came into this town, Ive never known anything like it. It has been absolutely wonderful, Mrs. McFadden said. The people have been most friendly. Theyve accepted us. One of the toughest decisions made by her husband, Mrs. McFadden continued, was discontinuance of Saturday matinees because of lack of support. Mac hated to give up those Saturday matinees because he loved working with those kids. He really did. Every Saturday when wed go down therehed say, Oh boy, the kids will be there today, and hed have a great time. Any kid he was happy with. That was Mac."
