By TOM BUSSELBERG SALT LAKE CITY - Over the years, a Layton woman has played host to Mrs. Betty Ford, Arlene Francis and Ogden Nash. THE CELEBRITIES werent visiting her home but something close to it for Margaret Anderson Adams, of Layton. Since 1961, she has been closely associated with activities at the LDS Churchs Beehive House in Salt Lake City, first as a hostess and in the past six years as assistant director. Not to let her style be crumpled, however, she has served on the Davis County United Way, Davis County Information and Service board, MOWEDA board and found time to raise five children, Referral pursue church activities and a wide range of hobbies. PERHAPS a motivation behind all this activity is a love for other people. I have a love for other people and love helping others. Ive always loved meeting people and its always been easy for me to communicate, Mrs. Adams says. Tve been especially interested in people with problems but try to keep my own sights high and keep progressing. Its easy to see why she has succeeded both in her pursuits at the Beehive House and in general. Attractively groomed and poised, she still has a down to earth, manner that makes for easy communication. SHE WAS among the first group to be invited to serve as hostesses at the Beehive House, home of Brigham Young. That experience wasnt totally new to her family as her husband, David, had served previously as a Temple Square guide. Many years before, when she was but 12, her family was called to leave her native Bountiful for Palmyra, New York, where her father farmed one of three farms around the Joseph Smith farm and Sacred Grove in Western New York. She is the daughter of Owen and Bessie Anderson. OF HER years there she says, I loved it. All of my teen years were spent back there. People were so nice but during that time there were some prejudices (against Mormons). In fact, some of my girls friends werent allowed to associate with me. WE RARELY have to seek anyone. They usually come in and volunteer, Mrs. Adams says. There are no men on the staff but she quickly adds that is because of difficulty for men in meeting the house schedule, not because they couldnt fulfill the need. When I first started the director took me through the house and told me about it. On that score, though, she figures a win. Some 18 years after she left the area, one of those friends wrote telling of her conversion to the LDS THERE WERE only 67 members of the church there then and we met in the Grange Hall. Now theres a chapel and a couple of stakes in the area. We lived right behind the Hill Cumorah. Temple Square and the Hawaiian Visitors Center. Last year, over 190,000 toured the national historic site. I took Betty Ford through the house when she was the vice presidents wife and have taken through Ogden Nash, Arlene Francis, ambassadors from foreign countries and many others. married before she could WHILE HER children were small, Mrs. Adams confined .. I ing the hours her children were at school. But women can and should have outside interests other than the home, she says. So for 19 years, she has spent countless hours at the Beehive House, more now as an assistant director with most of her children grown. As a hostess I conducted tours for two hours a day one day a week. As assistant director, I interview all 150 hostesses and am in charge of what they say. We need women here all day long. We've had some here for eight to ten years, depending on their circumstances. can count on one hand those visitors who have been . ungracious, she says. The most asked question queries the number of wives' Brigham Young had followed by the reason for the Beehive name. "Most people are gracious.

Ive been on the of directors board of MOWEDA youth home since before it was established, she says. I named it with the first two letters of the three counties it serves (Morgan, Weber and Davis). They had officially named it the Northern Utah Detention Center and I thought that gave it a stigma. Facilities there are sup- posed to improve the status of youngsters, Mrs. says.
