Walter Surrett and Faye Gilbert are honored as Payson’s Man and Woman of the Year for 1973. The Chamber of Commerce committee praised the selections and Surrett was later named chairman of the Arizona Highway Commission, marking a double honor.
Mayor Ted Pottet told the Payson Chamber of Commerce the town faces a funding jam as it awaits federal census results, which it cannot obtain without paying. He also warned about rampant rumors and urged residents to seek official sources for town information.
The Payson Junior Woman's Club thanks participants in the recent variety show and praises Pat Watson for directing and Lyndall McElhaney as master of ceremonies. Proceeds support club scholarships. Dorothy Donovan and Beverly Carlyon announce 1974 Variety Show chairs.
A congressman argues that the energy crisis can improve without more government control. He cites Arizona population growth and car numbers, and seeks fairer fuel allocations, emergency supplies for several counties, and continued support from federal officials. He notes 100 stopgap measures exist but fight over red tape won’t add fuel.
A Belton Texas editorial argues the federal government should assume control of crime and oversee energy policy. It urges incentives for oil exploration offshore and on shale lands, faster refinery and Alaska pipeline projects, fair prices for refined fuels, deregulation of natural gas at the well head, and expansion of nuclear power and coal mining.
A collage of brief items cites Bill Smelz and Jack Journigan, plus editorials from Mike OToole urging voters in 1974 to judge candidates by records. It recalls Payson Roundup’s 1966 notes on Cub Scout winners, chamber leadership, and high school hoops, and notes deaths and historical dates.
