When word flashed arqund town that the fish pond in the park was being filled with sod from the hospital lawn, the news could not have been more unbelievable had the word been, as in the old readers, The sky is falling. It could not have been more shocking than news that the King has been abolished. People in Payson have taken special pride in Memorial Park since its construction soon after World War I, and to so desecrate it with filling up the little pool has stirred a turmoil in the minds and hearts of many citizens. A little boy, watching the trucks roll in, moaned, Cant A SOMEBODY stop them? woman said, When so much is being said about beautification why destroy this lovely area? A blustering man exploded with The trucks brought the fill dirt in. They should be made to take it out There again. Others said, oughta be an article. This is it. I worked at it all night, as sleep eluded me. First there were the planners Mayor Henry Erlandson and his city council. Then came the professional landscape artist, hired through Utah State Agriculture College at Logan. The actual work was then accomplished, in some cases by returned military men. The finishing job was the little pool that lay like a jewel trees. under the centurv-ol- d This set the park apart from other such places', making it a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Forever? CONCESSION STAND APPLICATIONS Applications will be accepted at the city office for concession stands at the Memorial Park during Payson s annual Harvest Days and Homecoming Celebration. Wards desiring a stand should make formal application on or before August 10. Pheasant Unit sets meeting Friday Land owners within the area of the Payson Pheasant Hunting Unit are urged to attend a meeting Friday evening, July 22, in the West Ward Church. Complete reorganization is necessary, with land owners reassigning their land to the unit. This will require presence of land owners at the meeting. Fish and Game Department has required that all hunting units do this by August 1 of this year. Other matters to be resolved at this meeting will be (1) Continuation of Unit (2) Division of the unit because of the freeway (3) Dispersement of receipts (4) Support from land owners. Reasons for fiUing it in have come to me as: The rocks were breaking away from the edge (couldnt it be repaired?) It would not hold water (it was filled until last October when the kids took out the fish with line and hook) There are no funds in the city budget for work on the pool (this can be handled somehow). A lily pool would be better (there would be problems there, too, and what about cost of cementing it?) Park hands are too busy to keep it clean (everything worthwhile requires care.) Monday night a group of citizens met with the City Council to protest the work of that day. Mayor Losser said that if this is the wish of the people of Payson, the dirt will be removed and the pond will be restored. Dennis Dixon was named chairman of the project to work out problems related to the restoration. During the meeting, it was pointed out that Dr. Arvil Stark, noted landscape architect, has praised the area and said other communities are trying to create a water scene as in the Payson park and that Payson is fortunate in already having this place of tranquil beauty, arranged as if Mother Nature, herself, had placed the little pond under the great trees. To me, the cobble stones are charming and suit the rustic effect of the old trees. The water cools the air and makes a lovely point of interest for those who stop beside it. One unfortunate thing about it is, the fill dirt was heaped into the pond only this week, two days before the annual Senior Citizens Day, when the elderly people are treated to a chicken dinner under the trees beside the pond. The usual apple-pi- e order of the park was ruined with this sight that looked like a new grave . . .

The fall planting was Meadow Brome, Latar Orchardgrass and Alfalfa. Because of the poor stand it was replanted in the following spring to Latar Orchardgrass. During 1965 two crops of hay were harvested. In 1964 barnyard manure, along with 66 of available Nitrogen and 42 of available phosphate was applied. No fertilizer has been used since. Irrigations this season were on May 7, May 29, June 15 and July 6. These are on intervals of 18 to 21 days. The pasture was divided into 4 pastures with permanent fences and further divided into daily pastures with electric fences. He cut one pasture for hay this year. On May 3, he turned in 47 steers and 8 cows. On June 2, he took ten head to the forest, on June 8 he took 7 head to Strawberry and on June 20, he put 2 head on full grain feed and took them out of the pasture. This leaves 36 head on the pasture at this time. 4th Stop - F. Reed Hansen, Palmyra. On August 15, 1964, Reed planted this 6 acres to pasture by drilling into grain stubble and then irrigating. He planted 5 Latar Orchardgrass, Smooth Brome and 2 Al5 falfa. Hay was harvested from the land in 1965. 600 bales of hay were obtained. 66 of available nitrogen has been applied this season. Irrigation dates this summer are: April 22, May 16, June 4, June 26. Electric fences were used to divide the 6 acres into six 1 acre pastures. Grazing started on April 30. At this time 15 head of animals were used. An additional 5 head of cows were put in on May 13 and 9 more on May 17. All but the original 15 were sent to the mountain on June 3. On July 5 three of the 1 acre pastures were cut for hay. The cattle are almost kiUing fat with no grain. 5th Stop Glen Bowen and LeGrande Smith, Spanish Fork, (farm in Salem) The purpose of this stop was to show what can be done by management and some drainage of native pastures.

(umorah Pageant July 26-3- 0, Payson boys in cast Two LDS Missionaries from this area were honored by being selected to participate in this year s production of the nation s most spectacular religious the Hill Cumorah drama Pageant at Palmyra, New York, 0. July Thomas E. Reece, son of Mr. and Mrs. Noel Reece, and Arthur C. Noon, son of Mr. and Mrs. LaVar Noon, both of Pay-swill participate in the Pageant. This year the famous spectacle will have the largest cast in its history 430 performers acting out the rise and fall of an ancient American civilization on 25 stages on the vast slope of Hill Cumorah. Enhanced by various new richly-orna- te costumes and colorful sets, the Pageant will depict a flourishing civilization founded by a band of Isreal-it- es from Palestine in the New World beginning in 600 B. C. and its destruction in the fifth century A. D. Colorful lighting effects and an elaborate stereophonic sound system aid in giving the production its vivid 26-3- on 29-y- realism. Each year additional thousands come from all over America - and even from abroad -to witness this thrilling spectacle. It now take more than 40 acres of space to park the cars of the visitors. The participants are of the Mormon Church, college girls from the Western states and members of Mormon congregations in New York State. All participants pay their own travel and other exmis-sionar- ies penses. The Pageant is presented on stages on the slope of Hill Cumorah which is four miles south of Palmyra, or some 25 miles southeast of Rochester, in the heart of the scenic Finger Lakes region of New York. It was here that Joseph Smith received the golden plates of the Book of Mor mon which had been buried there by one of the last survivors of an ancient American civilization. On the basis of the golden plates and other revelations, Joseph Smith founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints (Mormons) in 1830. The director of the Pageant since its inception in 1937 is Dr. Harold I.

At the present time there are 85 head of mixed cattle on the pastures. He started grazing on May 15 this year with 150 head. Most years this could be May 1. During June he took out 65 head and sent them to Strawberry. Mr. HiU receives about 15 to 18 cents per head per day grazing fee this year depending on the size of the animal. 2nd Stop - Stewart Schaerrer, Payson, West Unit. Stewarts west unit was planted in 1950 or 1951. Planting was with Tall Fescue, Orchardgrass, Smooth Brome, Tall Meadow Oatgrass, Ladino Clover, Alfalfa, and Red Clover, Since that time Tall Fescue has about taken over, with just traces of Alfalfa, Ladino Clover with some Strawberry Clover which has intruded. Some nitrogen fertilizer has been applied nearly every year. This spring 60 of available nitrogen was applied. A second application of 60 has been used on part of the acreage.
