THURSDAY. Editorial AUGUST 30, 1056 8 Payson s annual Homecoming and Harvest Days Celebration is a big undertaking for hundreds of persons. Yes, hundreds. To realize th:s you should stop for a minute and calculate of the number of hours and hours that are required to build the floats shown in the mammoth street parades. Better, however, it would do everyone good to help build a float then when they pass in review, you would more fully appreciate them. The parades are only a part of the celebration there is the Homecoming Program that has been in preparation for sometime, the Flower and Art Show, that takes many hours of many persons to get ready, the Free Fire Works set off by the firemen and a new feature, the Water Show, which I am sure will show many hours of effort. Behind the scenes work has been done by the general committee in planning; by the publicity committee in getting the celebration advertised; by the queens committee in getting the contest organized, the royalty selected and taking them places they are needed; the invitation committee, Kathryn Betts, who mailed out about 1200 printed invitations; and of course theres the two big horse race meets which requires much planning and work to make it so successful. When the twenty-sixt- h annual celebration becomes history, next Tuesday, we can all sit back satisfied that Payson again has produced, Utahs Biggest Labor Day Celebration.
