Committee makes Clean-u- p Drive in Payson this week Take a look around are you satisfied with the appearance of our community? Your neighborhood? Your own property? People throughout the county and state are organizing for activities directed toward making their communities more attractive and sanitary. Much progress has been made in recent years in beautifying the city but there remains much to be done and if we are going to accomplish more we need to make a fresh spring start. The city council declared the week of May 16 through May 21 clean-u- p as an official city-wiperiod. Every home will be which should be of supplied with a farm and home check-li- st help in the cleanup project. There will be a supply in the city office for those who may not have received one. City equipment and employees will gather any material which is placed on the streets. However, those citizens who can, are encouraged to transport their own debris to the city dump grounds at West Mountain. Citizens are further encouraged to place small, loose waste materials in disposable containers such as boxes or old metal containers for easier pick-u- p and removal. It is hoped that all residents of Payson and surrounding areas will display community pride during this campaign. Here is an opportunity to teach and demonstrate community and family responsibility. What a good start we will have toward a clean and beautiful city if everyone will catch the spirit of this spring crusade. Will you as citizens do your part and accept our challenge to improve your own property during this clean-u- p week? Wayne Ainge Douglas John Argyle Lynette Badham Kathy Barnett Arnold L.
