Banks, I hope and trust in the Lord that this little note will find you well and happy. I have been intending in-tending to write to you for a long time now, but as you probably know, a missionary is kept pretty busy. I have been waiting to write and thank you for your kindness in sending me the local paper. I do enjoy reading it very much, and being as most of the mission aries are from Utah somewhere, they enjoy reading it also. I am now laboring in a little farming district, Arvin, Calif., and am enjoying my work very much. I feel that in the short time I have been out, that the Lord has blessed me greatly, in asmuch as I have been an instru ment in His hands in baptizing three of His children into His kingdom here upon earth, and my companion three also. It really makes me happy to see some of the fruits of His labors. I have had many wonderful experiences since coming out in the mission field. The Califor nia mission Just recently held aj Mission Conference in Los Ange- j les. It was on the 5th, 6th and 7th of December. On Friday the 7th we held our first session. It was a testimony meeting which lasted for nine and one-half hours,, with just two short recesses reces-ses of about ten minutes each. 86 out of 161 missionaries in attendance attend-ance bore their testimonies. And when a person can sit in a meeting meet-ing that long, and not even get tired, you can see the spirit of the Lord must have been there in great abundance. On Saturday the 7th was held another testimony meeting in the morning, which lasted four hours. in which 38 more testimonies were borne, making 124 alto gether out of the 161 present. We receive, instructions from President Oscar W. McConkie Saturday afternoon, in a meeting which lasted four hours. Sunday afternoon from 1 o'clock until 5, we held our last session, in which President McKonkie gave a preachment on the third chapter of Matthew. I just wish that every person in the Church could have been there, and partaken of the spirit that was there. Well, I guess I had better close for now. Thanking you again for your kindness. Sincerely, Elder Elwood Hunt. Cemetery Beautification Will Be Discussed Mon. By Lehi Organizations Increased Divorce Rate Cause . For County Study new books were purchased during dur-ing the year, and 93 new books were donated. Approximately 200 periodicals have been placed in the library, including the local ewspapers and catalogs from the three-major universities in the state. Mrs. Wathen wishes to express appreciation to all who donated books or magazines to the library during the year. The library is at present undergoing under-going a remodeling program, including in-cluding the installation of a new ceiling and redecorating. :?-"! - ' i n i K .rv rxrr-' - Utah county's rapid rise in divorce di-vorce rates has been cause for scrutiny by Judge William Stanley Stan-ley Dunford, who last week recommended a change in, the present laws to bring about a greater number of reconciliations. reconcilia-tions. A study of marriage and divorce statistics in Utah county for 1947 revealed that only 4.7 percent of causes heard were reconciled. re-conciled. Making of crimlmal accusations in writing when applying for a divorce should be abolished, the judge believes. A simple state ment to a court of equity that a problem exists with a few pertinent pert-inent facts, one of the most im portant being the number of children, should be the first step. Alter sucn a statement was filed, the court would call in a trained domestic worker who would try to help the couple to an understanding of their prob lems. The social worker's report would be filed with the court. If the efforts of the social worker failed, to bring about a reconciliation the court would make further attempts to solve the problem. If that failed the divorce would be granted on the recommendation of the agent. Judge Dunford recommended that all divorce files be handled in the same manner as adoption procedure, which would make them unavailable to the public, He believes this practice would protect children from the social stigma often attached to divorce. After a petition had been filed, either a trained social worker, or a private individual such as a minister, a bishop, or a friend could be assigned by the court to work with the couple, Judge Dunford said.
