If the family does have a record, endeavor to have them bring it up to date The family record of every family should include a record of the family groups of all known forefathers of both the father and the mother, and also a record of all the family groups of their dccenirints, down to the last child botn In addition to the names, dates places and relationships called for on the standard family group record sheet, the ordinances of baptism, endowment and sealing should be faithfully entered. This then makes an acceptable record. "We recommend also that each family record be catefully checked over to see if every ordinance posaiple has peen administered for each person who is eligible. Pci haps one hundred years have now lapsed since the birth of some whose death dates are not known; work for these may now be done. For others definite death dates may now be at hand. Be alert to check for sealings that have been neglected Those having access to a genealogical libiary, or who can provide funds for research to be done on their lines, should make this anniversary a tmv of finding records of new ancestors and having names available for temple work, in the same spirit as did our families in anticipation of the temple dedication in 1893. Every family then earnestly sought to take advantage of the great opportunity soon to be theirs an opportunity that is now' ours Let's get out the old, family records we have been hoarding since grandpa's day and work them over, adding new names, dates, stories, and other item of Interest.

HANSON. j EKE HLYIER The north wind doth blow and we shall have snow" and before it gets through, we are apt to have a foot of snow and below zero temperatures. It isn't fit weather for man or beast to be out, and it is impossible to do much work on the farm. Think bow much nicer and cozier it is by a cheery fire! You can't just sit all day, so why not do something useful? Every boy or girl likes a good romance or adventure story, and no better ones exist than those right in our own families. Our grandfathers left their native homes and encountered many adventures in their quest for a new home in the land of Zion, and in their efforts to conquer the wilderness. Many of our forefathers and mothers came as young people and found the trip across the ocean and over the plains to be a real romance. To many there were hardships and heart aches, and the excursion was one of disappointment, sickness and even death. It was a "survival of the fittest." Not many weaklings came through the thousand mile trek, and many of the strongest and bravest lie buried out on the plains. There is real adventure and romance tied up in every one of our pioneer families who helped to make the wilderness "blossom as a rose " There are tales of road building, schools and churches to be erected, homes to be carved out of raw materials, the building of industries, and a mighty civilization to grow out of the desert. Your family has helped to make our state a place of refuge and safety and a world we are proud of! You are going to die, and with you may go these valuable records of the past. Already, we have let too many of our pioneers tip toe over the clouds without recordmg the beautiful things of their lives. As our children grow up theywdl ask us about these things, and we will be if we can take the story down from our treasure chest and read it to them. It will bring a joy thut you can experience in i.o other way. So, if it were winter time, and the weather were miserable, I'd take ad' antage of the long evenings and the warm fire to record for poster-ity some of the records and deeds of n.y family!
