A pass from Powell to Terry Carter was complete to Millards 25 yard line, but was called back because of a holding penalty against the Lions. Powell tried a sweep and lost 2 going to his left, then Wall tried the right side for no gain. Joel Crouch punted again, this time to Millards Jeff Keel who returned the ball to the Payson 48, where the Millard Eagles went to work. First Barry Nixon lost one yard on a terrific charge and tackle by Jenz Horn. A screen pass from Jim Quigley to Barry Nixon was good for a first down on the Lions 25.

Jeff Wicker for Millard saving the touchdown by tackling the charging Mark. Etherington made 6, then 3 more, as Durrant was shuffling Jim Stewart and Terry Carter in and out of the lineup. Once again, confusion occured, and Payson called time out as Gary Powell went ' to the sidelines for another conference. Possibly Gary should borrow Larry KimbaUls Walkie Talkie and eliminate the confusion, and perhaps speed up the game. Maybe even saving the time outs to stop the clock if it were needed later on.

About 1500 fans followed the Eagles along with some of the Delta people too. MiUard . 2, fans werent quite sure if Delta was rooting for them, or against them. Notice a lot of Spanish Fork Dons watching the game, wonder what their feelings were, seeing Payson from a different position? Heard Orem, P.Gn Springville and Provo teams were represented too. The crowd overflowed the facilities, and lined the field on all sides, standing up. Didnt everyone feel proud watching the gals in the DriU Team perform? At half time everyone was concerned over the yardage figure, because of the 6score at that time. Ever notice a football team warming up? There should be a bull-pe- n as they have in baseball. Now the kick pick up a football, and play catch. Sad to see Dennis Lamb in crutches, and Chad Smith with a pad around his stiff neck. Both enjoyed the game, but were sad they were unable -6 ( it oVV,-Xi:- jtCrJd By i I L PAYSON CHRONICLE 7 Thursday, Novembr 20, 1969 main street Thelma Lance 1 am sure that you will all remember the recent slaying of a very young Spanish Fork girl. It is indeed hard to believe that such a thing could happen in smaU communities like Payson and Spanish Fork. What has happened to us? I can recaU about twenty years ago that things like this only happened in Los Angeles, Chicago and cities like that, where it seemed to be common incidents and now its germs have spread to our towns. It is time now for all of ms to stop and think of what we, as individuals, can do to help bring this kind of thing to an immediate halt. Last night I just happened to come upon a pamphlet that seemed to be what I had been looking for, in searching for a way to aid in anyway that I could to see that people such as this would be arrested and convicted. What gives them the right to come and threaten and endanger the Uves of our loved ones and also the lives of each and every one of us? Something has to be done. This article in the pamphlet I previously mentioned, stated in part: Law Enforcement Agencies depend on the eyes and ears of private citizens to augment their limited patrols. Public apathy and fear of getting involved have rendered too many citizens blind and deaf to incidents of crime. They turn their heads to avoid being a witness to some crime; they give false names when they are witnesses so they cannot be located when their testimony is needed; they deliberately lie about their knowledge of a crime to avoid involvement. We are involved, whether we like it or not! Their indifference to crime and the general safety of their community makes them as much an aUy of the underworld as someone who provides a hideout for a known and wanted criminal. Every citizen has a duty to perform in the war against crime and we hope that more and more people wiU come to realize this. It seems to me that we all should band together and work together in the prevention of crime and to help maintain the law and order that is most certainly needed now. I am sure that all of us are now aware of the spread of drugs and their usage in our area and our Chief of Police has worked diligently with his men to learn the exact nature and extent of this situation here. True, there are other problems with our children, but there are a great many of those that might not have been if it hadnt been for the use of some of these drugs. Police Chief Jimmy Box, in cooperation with one of the local PTA groups, namely the Payson Junior, High School with Carl Marvin as president, is sponsoring a kind of seminar concerning the drug situation as it exists in Payson. Again, I say, that there are other problems and I am told that they, too, will be discussed. There is to be a talk by Chief Box regarding drugs and their usage, and there is to be a question and answer period. We should drop everything and attend this seminar. It is for our own good and for the good of our young people, who are the prime target for unwholesome characters who introduce the drugs to them. Are we going to permit our towns to become melting pots for all kinds of unsavory persons to flourish in or are we going to join forces with our police officers in all branches and learn what we can do to aid them in their efforts to eliminate these kind of practices? This meeting is going to be held in the Payson Junior High School Auditorium Thursday, November 20, 1969, between the hours of eight and ten. I realize that there are other activities which may conflict with this time, but please make it a point to schedule your activities so that they will allow for this very worthwhile attempt to correct the problems that now confront the people as well as the law enforcement officers. See you there! Lets all put our presence where our mouths have been! Come prepared to ask questions and join in the discussion. Learn how to communicate with others. It just might be our only hope for survival. to assist their teammates in the victory over Millard.
