Each Spring when school was out, our family moved to their Ranch in the Cedar Mountains. Here they spent the summer dairying. There was plenty of green food for the animals and the days and nights were cooler. They made cheese and butter for their patrons in town and stored much away for family use during the long cold winters. I was the oldest child in a family of seven children. I learned to milk cows, churn butter, wash and iron in the old fashioned way, learned to sew my own dresses and shirts for my little brothers. But most of all, I took care of the little ones. It was a good life in the hills, but lonely. I loved to dance and when the 4th and 24th of July came along, I wanted so much to be with my friends in town. The thoughts of missing these two most wonderful dances of the summer were more than I could take. So, much against my mothers wishes, I would get astride our gentle little pony and start for town. It was a silent and lonely ride through the tall timber and there were still plenty of wild cattle around in those days. Fortunately, I never once had any trouble getting safely back to the Ranch. I think the Lord heard and answered my mother's prayers. I was happy and content the rest of the summer. I was born with three great loves in my heart. One for music, one for art or painting and the other for writing. I was taught that these were my gifts or talents, but would bring me no joy unless put to use and shared with others. I have tried to do just that all the days of my life and in the best way I knew how. From the time I was a little girl I was taught to love, honor and respect our Grand Old Pioneers, for surely no braver, finer people ever walked the earth. I have tried to do that, also, all the days of my life and in the best way I knew how. My Music - I have always given freely of my limited knowledge of music to my church and community. Helping to play for programs, dances, parades or wherever instrumental music was desired. I have sung in choirs and many choruses. Best of all, I loved to work in the Primary Organization where I served for 25 years. My Painting - Nearly all the pictures I ever painted I gave away.

Beaver Matmen Take Milford 4-- H Discusses Public Relations, Swimming Pool Tuesday, January 8th, the Beaver Business and Professional Women met at the Senior Citizen Center for their January meeting. Under the direction of President Barbara Bradshaw, we enjoyed an excellent meeting. Committee Chairman, Jackie Nowers, introduced Ranger Darwin Jensen of the U. S. Forest Service. Mr. Jensen gave an excellent presentation of Public Relations "The art of making the public feel that you care." We learned some valuable tips for dealing with other people and making them feel that they are important. He also showed as very good movie on working with the public. President Bradshaw thanked Mr. Jensen and the Committee, Jackie Nowers, Donna Morris, Dora McMullin and Anna Lou Walbeck, and expressed regret that more members were not present to enjoy this fine presentation. Craig Davis, from the Chamber of Commerce, made a presentation on the progress on the swimming pool, and plans were discussed, including the need for further appraisal of what needs to be done. The next meeting of the BPW will be February 12, and will be "The Woman of the Year" under the direction of Chairman Janet Bradshaw. We hope to see all of our members there! -- Basketball Tonight Parowan Here! graduation presents, special achievement presents, or in exchange for other gifts. Two of my paintings hang in the new Beaver County Court House. My Writing - I have spent more time and energy at writing than all my other gifts put together. I haved been a member of the DUP organization for many years. Their work and desires are to gather, write and record histories of our Utah Pioneers and the West. I have tried to make the most of this fine opportunity. I helped with the publication of the Beaver County History. At one time I felt very ambitious and for weeks worked at writing an Operetta which I gleaned from the story of Nephi, in the Book of Mormon. With the gracious help of about 30 of Beaver's good singers and actors, it was presented two nights in Beaver and one night in Cedar City. The name was "Nephi, of the House of the Lord." I was born and raised in Cedar City but have lived in Beaver ever since getting married. The names of a few of my early friends of Beaver who became very dear to me are Thora Beeson, Susie Beeson, Myrtle Waters, Geneva Idol, Maretta Bohn, May Hutchings, Leona Dean, Cleo There is a punishment that nature inflicts upon mankind for a purpose that is known only to nature. That punishment comes in the form of snow. Oh sure, snow is great if you're a kid. Snow obviously makes better snowmen than any other material (except maybe styrofoam). Snow balls aren't any good when made from any other substance, and if you've ever lived in a tropical climate, you know that nothin' beats snow for sleigh riding. Snow has its place I guess, but as far as I'm concerned, its "place" is not on highways and sidewalks. Especially sidewalks! Snow loves to cover sidewalks, and if it is not immediately removed, it melts a little underneath. Then it just enough to cling like a barnacle to the sidewalk. If it is removed right away, you can bet it will snow again, just as soon as you go inside. Another thing snow loves to do is hide snow shovels. Snow always falls on a new snow shovel, leaving it buried until spring. That is the reason snow shovels are painted bright colors, but it doesn't help, it always snows just deep enough so that the color doesn't show through. Also, Mother Nature knows that 15 year old boys never remember where they put the snow shovel the last time they used it. Snow shovel manufacturers also know this to be a true fact, and they love 15 year old boys. My 15 year old insists that a gas powered snow blower wouldn't get lost like shovels do, but I'm not so sure. Anyway, snow blowers seem to me to be in the same category as electric tooth brushes and wireless telephones; If God intended that mankind should use those things, He would have made them more affordable. Last summer I tried having a garage sale to get rid of my surplus of snow shovels. I discovered this about garage sales: There is absolutely no market for used snow shovels, with curled up edges and broken plastic handles, in July! There is another interesting phenomena concerning snow. No matter how early in the morning you leave to go to work, the snow plow always comes by first. And no matter how light the snow fall was, they always manage to push enough of it in front of your driveway so you can't get your car out until you shovel out the driveway (if you can find the shovel, that is). Of course, where there is a problem, there is also a solution. Here is my idea for solving the problem of snow in the city: A tax should be placed on skiing. All revenue from this tax could be used to buy sophisticated equipment to remove snow. Then the city could send crews to remove all the snow from your sidewalk, driveway, etc. The snow, of course, would be hauled up to the ski resorts and dumped on the slopes, thereby allowing the resorts to stay open throughout the summer, and of course, creating more tax dollars. Neat idea, huh? Congressman.
