Nothing that drastic has been proposed yet, but 'if destructive, illegal, brazen conduct does not cease immediately, the shutdown may well be necessary. Since the pool was opened the bacteria count has regularly been among the lowest in the state, according to the Utah State Department of Health which receives samples of the water. This means dangers to health are greatly reduced because of the cleanliness and sanitation measures exercised by pool attendants. But witless actions by stupid people are jeopardizing the health of all who use the pool because they are cluttering the pool with debris. Attendants report daily work is necessary to clean out at least a case of beer cans, stacks of paper plates and other trash. Only Wednesday morning the equivalent of six watermelons had to be cleaned out. People who used the facilities at Payson Park apparently are the guilty ones. Pool attendants give die pool a thorough cleaning every Saturday morning with a vacuum. But after a weekend, their labor goes largely for naught. Destructive actions are also ruining pool facilities and Culprits have ripped posts off the bridge spanning the creek nearby and have used them to pry the fence loose from its moorings. They have broken wires, bent and broken in a wanton diregard for city property that they or their parents have paid for to provide Payson with one of the state's best municipal pools. Inside the dressing rooms, users are equally as thoughtd idiots have less. In the mens dressing room, smart-alecall the hangars out of the wall. During the past moth since clothes baskets were purchased, the crackpots have stol- en 17 of the numbered pins that serve as claim checks. Not content with those efforts, they have broken at least 40 holes in the walls of the girls dressing room. Thoughtful people must wonder who is to blame and what can be done to remedy the situation. We must blame parents for not teaching their children the rudimentary rules of courtesy and respect for property. We must blame teenagers who, without sufficient parental guidance, are bent on what they feel are acts to prove their manhood. We must blame oldsters for not setting proper ex- amples. We must blame groups who use the park. Just Tuesday evening, explorers and MIA aids of Nebo Stake had their Summeree" in the Park. Unfortunately many children ended the evening entertaining themselves throwing overpaper plates over the fence into the swimming pool. So, worked Church workers must join overworked pool attendants in a vigilante effort to train children who should know better. Some of the culprits who break into the pool have been be treated caught in the very act of - breaking in. They should rather harshly, we feel.- If adequate fines cannot now be levied, we suggest provisions be made for future offenders. A denial of swimming pool rights to destructive souls would be in order. We wonder where was the night watchman when so many of these actions were taking place. If those who use the pool want to retain its use, they tn,ust cooperate by respecting the pool equipment and rules for its use, reporting wrongdoers and urging their swimming mates to do the same. k Ik At Birthday Parties Mrs. Stella Harper, pert and oharming, as she was stylish and beautiful in her younger days, celebrated her 94th birthday at two parties over the weekend.

Councilman Jones detailed the program that will include curb-to-curesurfacing of Utah Avenue from 1st West to 8th West. However, the State Road Commission informed the city that proper curb and gutters must first be installed. An intensive survey by the road commission indicates that curb and gutter will cost property owners approximately $2.50 per foot for curb and gutter and $1.25 for sidewalks. Jones said the city will stand approximately 25 percent of that cost and property owners the remainder.
