Payson has many homes that are beautifully decorated this year such as the Jay Barker residence at 555 East 300 South. The distintive little figures of intricate design and expertly painted were made by Mr. Barker. Pictures of the home lighting winners will be in next week's Payson Chronicle. Former Stake Presidency to be honored special invitation is extended to all residents of Payson and the surrounding areas to join in honoring the former presidency of Nebo Stake at a special program and reception in the Nebo Stake A , Center on Saturday, January 9.

A special program in their honor will start Orchard hills " 1 v:'b main , I I The reception is being sponsored by the new stake presidency and the high council. i 'street by Ruth Rothe . At this season of the year when people begin to think of making some good resolutions for the coming year it might be well for all of us to consider some facts and make some resolutions regarding our own Main Street during 1971. The freeway and the custom of having two or three cars per family have drastically changed some of our shopping habits and often if a person has to run to Salt Lake or Provo on another errand they will stop at a shopping center and do all of their purchasing at once. This makes it hard for the stores in our little town to keep doing the business necessary to really do their best for us. Perhaps both the retailers and the customers should make some resolutions which would benefit all concerned. The businesses in our area do such a small output compared with the large stores in the big city it isnt always possible for them to keep prices on the same level with these competitors and too we cant expect them to have every item in every color and size as some of these stores can, but we can expect our stores to carry as much as possible the merchandise we need and most want and to offer it to us at the best price possible. One reason people in samll towns like to shop in their own area is that they feel that clerks and managers are more friendly and more accomodating. If they have experiences which prove otherwise they will often decide that it is just as well to shop out of town and have a clerk they dont know wait on them. Most housewives like to save money on genuine bargains or specials, but if they discover that these bargains or specials are in reality just something of inferior quality marked down to the price it should be in the first place they are disilusioned and disappointed to say the least. Also if a merchant does not stand behind his merchandise he can hardly expect people to buy anything else from him. It is convenient to have our shopping center in town and we must all try to make it better and more what we want and perhaps with the cooperation of all of us we wont have businesses close as we did in 1970, so lets all make our resolutions now to make Payson a good place to shop and then shop there. Huish Show House burgularized Someone broke into the Huish Theatre recently and made off with a set of tools and a small amount of money left over from the regular door receipts which had already gone to the bank.
