This gala celebration features an outstanding miniature parade, a program, visiting with old friends and relatives, sports events, and various other activities. What does Lake Shore have that brings Its members bjick year after year? As far as we know it all started back in 1862 when Caroline Beard Barney and her 12 children came to live on the land west of Spanish Fork. In the early seventies other pioneers came to settle in this fertile area. Soon a building was erected known as the Blue Adobe School House. This building was used for all public gatherings. June 12. 1886, is a memorable day in Lake: Shore's history; it was then that the ward was or? ganized. The community grew and prospered' until now the population is approximately 520.

Ono Must Mako Right Decisions to Gain Happiness Bcntloy ; - ': Convivial The death rate from pneumonia and influenza together decreased from 140.8 per 100,000 in 1811 to &8 per 100,000 m 1855. 2f : A J J Happiness depends upon the magic of littler things. The regular use of little courtesies of everyday life. Please and thank you to the waitress who serves you brings a tremendous glow into her life. Everyone wants fine friends, but in order to have a friend you have to know how to be a friend, jrriendsiup starts with common courtesies and thoughtfulnesses for mankind and the wild friends of nature one finds in the great outdoors. One of the best little magics for growth of friendship and spiritual life is to be a-- friend and a helper of the wild natural creatures of the sky, the desert, the sea, the mountains, and the valleys, in performing their special assigned tasks. This is an age of light and advancement, and what ever you wish to gain of an unselfish and. beneficent nature should be yours more easily than at any period of mankind's history. It appears far easier for the average man to accept without question the laws of nature than to accept the fact that the author of our spiritual laws is the author of our natural laws, and there is no conflict between them. In nature the life , of the fish, birds, and animals that survive is a trained and discipled one. This Is also true in the life of mankind. But there are many men and some church leaders who' are unwilling to face up to the fact that the development of good character and the survival of a life worthwhile in God's sight are subject to the same fundamental law. We in Utah are the possessors of a great spiritual heritage. If it is to endure, it must be earned anew by each succeeding generation. It seems, however, the welfare state destroys character. There is disquieting evidence that many have drifted from the principles and spiritualities that make a great man. Our forefathers built' on this continent a state which, for prestige, wealth of character, and high ideals! has been equal to the best of states. But now our material success! has brought with it great hasards. In our material gains we have suffered grave spiritual losses. We now too often place temporal things above spiritual values. Too many hive become killers of crows instead of stewards of the precious wildlife gifts that God has given us. Edward W.
