Show L City Beautification Project Helps Improve Community Listed as number nine on Payson's Ten Most Wanted properties for improvement was an old house located at 6th West and 3rd South. This old house had been vacant for many years, was badly deteriorating, the yard was overrun with weeds, and each year took its toll. Mrs. Lois Wickers, a former Payson resident many ears ago and now living in California, is owner of the property. When she received a letter this spring from the Beautification Committee, stating that her property had been placed on this list, she made a trip to Pajson and requested permission to re- - model the home. Although the Committee wasn't completely in agreement with Mrs. Wickers since remodeling in relation to the cost involved was questionable, they still granted her request and offered assist- ance. She went right to work on the project and just what has been accomplished is shown in the accompanying photographs - before and after. A great deal of time and money has been spent to make a lovely rental of this old home and today there is little reminder of the dilapidated building listed as number nine on Paysons Ten Most Wanted list. Mrs. Wickers has cooperated in every way with the Beautification Committee and is certainly to be commended on the improvement she has male to camour city and its clean-u- p paign. We hope that perhaps some day she will return to Payson to live.

It's everybody's business, In this old yvorld of ours; To pull up all the weeds we find, To make room for the flowers; So that every little garden, No matter where it lies; Will look like the one God made, And called it Paradise. The Payson Beautification Committee uncovered many spots of Paradise in Payson while attempting to select three winners for $25.00 awards in the annual yard beautification contest, by the Payson Chamber of Commerce The three yards shown were judged winners for this year. Top: Front Yard, Grant Cook, 855 East 2nd South. Center: Back Yard, McKay Christensen, 599 South Main. Bottom: All Around Unique Yard, Leslie Barnett, 662 East 100 South. There are many outstanding yards in our city. Some have been winners in the past, some will be winners in the future, but they are all winners when it comes to the beauty they bring to Payson. It is one of the prettiest times of the year. Drive around town and see some of these gardens at the peak of their bloom. They indeed look like paradise. yy- - Vernon J.
