The way you can tell when it happens is if you find the back of your hand permanently attached to your forehead; or if you give great, heartfelt sighs every twenty seconds; or if your face feels like you have fifty pound weights attached to it, pulling it down. You might find it difficult to break the pattern of the sighs and the long face. And you may find its really hard operating with one hand. So what do you do? Do you Put on a Happy Face? and be cheerful even when your heart is breaking? There certainly have been enough songs written about that particular way of dealing with the problem. But they dont work. You may have a psychiatrist to tell your sour thoughts to and he might comfort you. Hell listen to your smelly problems and recommend procedures and youll feel good until you begin wondering what kind of bad impression you made on him.

Unfortunately, too many of us are lukewarm in our support or even downright This lack of support manifests itself in everything from failing to exercise our responsibility to vote to the failure to return overdue books to our public libraries. The latter problem isn't such a minor one, for isn't, attitude the narcissistic of a library book hoarder (Wfell, pay my taxes, don't I? Aren't entitled to a book occasionally?) a symptom of an overall careless attitude of citizenship? Or even an ignorant one of: "I didn't know that this library book was city property! You mean it's theft if don't return it?" Heaven knows libraries need public support and friendship economically, morally and emotionally. But when library books amount to $1500 annually (speaking for the Payson Library) and frustrated library patrons who are waiting to read a book someone wrongfully and selfishly has in his or her possession, what are libraries to do? can list possibilities': 1 Hold overdue book amnesty days. (Payson's recent amnesty day, held during Onion Days, was a failure, despite adequate publicity.) 2. Levy cash deposits on every book checked out of the library. (Overdues are such a problem nationwide that some libraries are already using this method.) 3. Add overdue fines to local utility bills. (Effective, but not popular.) 4. Send out post cards reminding the offenders. (Ineffective; at the cost of the city, and therefore the patron.) 5. Have library board members or librarians visit offenders in person or make telephone calls. (Do you know how much time that would take?) 6. Have librarians hold offender's children hostage until books are returned! (From a cartoon.) 7. Chain books to the tables like librarians did in the Middle Ages. me-fir- st I I 8. Send out form letters informing offenders that "if this oversight on your part is not immediately taken care of, your library will consider the loss of this property a theft, and will be turned over to the (Payson City Police) for prosecution." (The police department will follow through, because they are library users themselves.) Please, library users everywhere: fiscal restraints are upon all of us, and theft is no laughing matter. All of the above alternatives are expensive, due to bookkeeping and paperwork costs or the personal time involved. Can we rely on you to be a part of the solution? Short of that, we must rely upon other methods, none of which we feel good about. sweet? I Gary P.

The former Payson Hospital building has been transformed into a city center that will be a source of pride for Payson City. But it certainly is taking a lot of time to complete the project. During a recent council meeting, while discussing the walk through, the counciimen seemed very anxious to get the project completed and rightly so. The contract called for a completion date in August and for a $200 per day fine for running over the completion date. Some change orders made by the council may have slowed down the project, and realizing this, the council has patiently allowed more time for completion. However, in the November 4 council meeting the mayor and council discussed imposing the $200 per day fine if the project is not soon finished. Such action would be wise if it appears to the council that the contractor is not working as quickly as possible to complete the project. In a little over a month and a half Mayor Gary Hansen, and Counciimen Ray Hiatt and Dennis Dixon will be leaving office. They and the other counciimen have worked long and hard planning and implementing the city center. It would be a shame if the building were not completed during their terms. They deserve the honor of opening the new building for public use. The CHRONICLE supports the efforts of the council to get the city center project finished as soon as pre-inspecti- thinks about stinks. Then of course, you may be an overdoer. You get depressed and so you overindulge in overs: And where does reading, that get you? You become a fat, drunk, wildeyed, intellectual who sleeps a lot wthout being particular whose bed youre in. The only thing that really works is to have an I dont give a day. Its the best cure the world has ever seen. The philosophy behind it is that everything is everybody elses problem. If the world cant handle it, thats its problem. When you get up in the morning on a I dont give a day you forget about the usual rituals. You look at yourself in the mirror and say, I dont give a Comb your hair and wash your face only if you feel like it. If anybody tries to make you clean house or do for them, explain in anyway you want that its your I dont give a day, and youre not going to do anything you dont want to.
