He was fishing last week end at Fish Lake with Sam Elton and the Lowell Thomas family. ulljais bout tlj ai2P nf it One of the nice things about Payson is the band concert held every Sunday evening during the summer. This old fashioner custom, not enjoyed by many of our sister cities, attracts throngs of Paysonians and their guests all summer long. We like to go and sit on the front row, where we can watch the mechanics of the concert. We like the drums and the trombones and the trumpets, these we know by name. Others just as fascinating, but their names,? ? Another thing we like about the concerts is the personel, from smiling J. D. Christensen, the conductor, to the boys and girls who participate, their faces clean and youthful, their attire casual for the summertime. We note a number of older men playing with the band, and who do you suppose we saw there last Sunday. None less than His Honor Mayor G. O. Dunford he plays a trumpet. A week ago we had a quartette by prominant men of the town, who sang Stout Hearted Men, one of our favorites, to the accompaniment of the band. . and the band Oh, yes . concerts are known as a mating place (or should I say meeting place?) for the young teenagers. How many times did YOU go to the park to try and meet someone you liked on a Sunday night? I guess we ought to mention the music. Its mighty good, excellent I should say, and the rhythm starts many a foot to tapping or a finger marking time. Everyone should take advantage of this pleasure while the too short summertime is with us. MCD. .
