Show Wsti iyoifiDuy By ALICE MITCHELL 295-1156 Everyone is faced with adversity ad-versity at one time or other in his life. To some it appears in the form of debilitating illness. ill-ness. Others are faced with moral rises, which seem insurmountable; in-surmountable; and still others are faced with separation separa-tion divorce or even death. Those who become ill must change their entire mode of living. Often they substitute spiritual and intellectual strength for physical prowess. Moral issues are resolved with much giving and taking on both sides. The errant individual goes through great changes within himself and the offended persons per-sons learn to emphasize and to show true charity. Separation Separa-tion is met with courage or with despair. Pain is lessened with the passing of time. The old and the wise have come to the conclusion that it isn't the adversity one has to face which measures the worth of the man or woman, but it is the way he or she faces the crises. Some people face each situation with pessimism pes-simism and sadness, while others seem to be filled with an unending source of optimism op-timism and "pollyanish" happiness. This week in West Bountiful Bounti-ful was one of sadness for all those who had known the family of the Kenneth Hills. Kenneth and Beverly's outstanding 17 year old son, I Brian, died after weeks of illness ill-ness and hospitalization. The Hills and grandparents, Frank and Edith Hatch, faced the crisis with their usual faith and courage. In athletics he was known as a good sport and a young man who was a good addition to any team. His friends knew him as a friend with a smile and one who tried to keep peace at all costs. Adults remember him as a wellbred and polite young gentlemen. In church circles he had the reputation of being conscien-tous conscien-tous and reliable. The Frank Hatches have lived in the community for many years and have a reputation repu-tation of being desirous of serving their fellow citizens well. The Hills have worked and played together and produced much including three outstanding children. We express sympathy to the Hill and Hatch family. As families get larger and children get older, the problems facing parents seem more and more impossible impos-sible to overcome, but there is always a way to do so, if situations si-tuations are met with optimism op-timism and long-suffering. Sunday was happy for many parents and children, as they contemplated the meaning of Mother's Day. Walter and Marilee Rosemann had visits to the hospital and finally two days later became parents for the first time. They announce the birth of their baby daughter. Grandparents Werner Rosemann and Trudi are also excited over the new arrival as are the Ronald Freestones, who are sister and brother-in-law to Marilee. We also extend welcome to the former Barbara Rosemann and her husband Robert Oliekan, who are moving in across the street from the Second Ward Chapel, in the former Ray Edmon's home. The Loyd Paget family enjoyed en-joyed visiting with both of their grandmothers on Sunday. Sun-day. They went to the home of Marie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Colemer, of Layton, and to the home of Loyd's mother, Mrs. Anna Paget, of Salt Lake City. Daughter Karin and husband hus-band Dennis Wood, of Salt Lake City, made a much happier hap-pier day for Dora Pfeiffer and husband George and family, as they came back home for the day.
