Saturdays events were dampened literally when a downpour caused cancellation of the parade and threatened the afternoon program of horseracing. This is believed to be the first time in the history of the celebration that the rains caused a parade to be called off, though rains have been known to occur as the parade was ending or when the horseraces were in progress. Such events, however, that were scheduled to be held inside of buildings on Saturday went on as planned. Peter Pan, staged by the Community Theater in the auditorium of the Payson High School, played the second of three performances scheduled during the celebration, The American Legion held a dance in the Legion Hall and a number of Class reunions were held Friday and Saturday evenings. The rain ceased by Sunday afternoon and moderate sized crowds visited the Art Show Senior Citizens displays in the tabernacle. Sunday nights band concert was moved from the dampened and chilly park to the auditorium of Payson High School, but few people learned that it was to be held in spite of the rain and the attendance was poor. Royalty of the celebration was presented on stage prior to the start of the concert. Mondays attendance at all events made up for the lack of attendance caused through the heavy rainstorm that lasted through much of the early part of the celebration. Crowds lined the streets in the line of march to view the parade and police were kept busy handling the heavy traffic before and after the parade, Utah County Sheriff, Ralph Dick Chappie of Payson was seen as Marshall oftheDay as in many previous parades in this city.

The Core Committee recommended that simplified drawings be prepared for the inspection of the property owners so they Orchard hills main - street Main Street seems awfuUy quiet and deserted now that the Harvest Day celebration is just a memory for another year. Theres nothing quite like the excitement and wonderment of the carnival and the parades to get the young folks coaxing their parents to take them to the park and join in the fun. The older children also like these activities and most of them just have to see the Horse Races, the Water Show, and the performance of Peter Pan. The parents enjoy all of these activities and usually see the Art and Flower Exhibits, Hobby Shows and Horse Shoe Contests. And all the family want to thrill at the Paysons Fireworks. All in all there is something for everyone of every age. With it being held the Labor Day Weekend it really seems to top the summer off and make us feel like we can all get down to business after a long hard summer and meet the autumn season with new energy and spirit.

Without Paysons changing itself into a competitive force against the trend to the larger cities, Payson could very likely fail altogether; and, without the participation of the whole Payson community, Continued on Page Four Game changed The Payson Carbon Football game will be played Friday at 5:00 p.m. at Payson High School due to popular request. 5 Beautification awards given Five awards of $20.00 each are being presented under the direction of The Beautification Committee of Payson, under the sponsorship of the Chamber of Commerce, according to Mrs. Verdean Page.
