Celebration Dixon Band concerts have been presented in Paysons Memorial Park every Sunday evening this summer, as has been the custom for some 35 years, but this year there has been a difference in the personnel. The players are almost all adult, and many are professional musicians. For years the band members have been drawn from band classes in local schools, but last year so few students demonstrated interest in the band that concerts were in danger of being discontinued. However, with a new conductor, Raydon Madson, and several former students who have proved to be stalwarts through about 20 years of summer band, together with the piofessionals from out of the city and a few students from 6th to 12th grade, the band has preseented some excellent concerts. From 30 to 45 players take part in the Sunday concerts, and former members were recruited to a total of 70 to participate in the July 24th parade in Salt Lake City, marching under the Payson High School banner. Members receive no cash reward for their efforts. They play for the love of music, for the fun of it, and for the desire to give service. This is shown in the fact that the concert of Aug. 18 was to have been the last of the 'season until the Harvest Days Concert on Sunday evening. However, members indicated they wanted to play a concert on Aug. 25, and this they did. A number of the musicians are associated with dance bands, and come from Salt Lake City, Lehi, American Fork, Orem, Provo, Spring-villSpanish Fork and Salem. All except Salt Lake are communities that have no weekly band concerts. A Springville man on vaencation from a five-yegagement with Jimmie Dorsey's Band in Californie has been with the band all summer, and Mrs. Penney Barney, widow of the late Ross Barney of Payson, who has toured music circuits in America and Europe, has been with the band for several weeks. A great amount of credit should be given the men who have appeared summer after summer at the park under direction of J. D. Christensen, now a teacher at Payson Junior High School. These men, including the present conductor, Raydon Madson, started band while in junior high school and went on through high school under Mr. Christensen. Those who have participated in the concerts this summer are Monte Taylor, Alma Willey, Howard Allen, Noel Dixon, Cordell Chipman, and Den-ni- e Dixon, in addition to a father Lewis Huff, and his adult sons, Ferrell and Wayne, and a younger son, Larry, and daughter, Colleen. Students who have been faith ful to the band all summer are Sixth Graders, Reid Nelson, John Tanner, Craig Madsen, Seventh Grader, Gordon Thomas; sophomores, Curtis Nelson, Dale Davis, Von Leatham, and seniors, Martha Peck. Gloria Lundholm and Don Ray Nelson. Plans for next years summer band concerts are uncertain. Mr. Madson is going back to the Goshen School on his own request, and Carl Hoffman, a newcomer to Payson, will teach high school band. t e, ar Schedule of Events 4-- H act-trac- Art Show Opens Sunday 1p.m. Two Parades Set Sat., Hundreds of persons are enMonday riched during the celebration when they attend the annual Floats, bands and color guard Art Show held in connection will be viewed by hundreds with the Flower Show in the when the two mammoth parades are shown on Saturday Junior High School.

The lovely areas of Holland and Venice were seen from a boat, and scenic sections of Switzerland and Italy were viewed from a bus that took them through the mountains. In Scotland, Mrs. Moore was pleased to see the place where her grandfather once lived, and in England, they saw the LDS temple. Dr. John R. Halliday and Dr. Wayne B.
