The following message was issued this week to the citizens of Payson by Mayor Floyd Harmer and the City Council. We are now in the annual high water run-o- ff season, and this year we do have a potential threat that more water will flow out of the canyon than can be controlled. Every citizen should therefore prepare to protect his property against damage from flooding, and further help other citizens and property which stands to be flooded. You may be called upon from time to time to assist on projects designed to forestall any flooding. Your cooperation will be appreciated as it has in the past. This call will generally come from a loud speaker traveling around the City. As a real threat approaches, you will be warned by a signal from the fire siren. The siren will blow for fires as usual (a continuous warbling, up and down signal). The flooding signal, warblhowever, will be a Civilian Defense signal of a ing signal followed by one minute silence, followed by warbling signal, followed by a one minute silence, then a third one minute warbling signal (3 signals with one minute of silence in between each signal). Please do not call the telephone operator on a fire signal, but you may call her when vou hear the warning signal, and thereby get your instructions. We are quite sure we will know sufficiently in advance of the first real threat to be able to give considerable instruction and warning. Thereafter, however, it may be on a moments notice. The warning signal mav also be given for emergency, volunteer help. In such cases kindly be ready to render your services. Please do not get panicky and kindlv stop all false rumors. There is no immediate danger. The water is not yet critically high. The reservoirs are in no danger and the culinary water system is in no way threatened. Anvone who can make available a truck or a tractor with a loader is asked to register, them at the Citv Office. Every irrigation ditch will be used to caoaeitv to channel the water through the Citv.
