B lillkw Cjrak'd Pot Mmm Should we keep old traditions Tom Lee Utah State University Extension Family and Human Development Specialist Traditions can give family members mem-bers a sense of continuity, stability and security. Maintaining them can be especially important during times of family transition due to moving, unemployment, divorce or re-marriage. They can help children feel that things will turn out OK because be-cause of the familiarity and Tightness Tight-ness associated with traditions. To help evaluate your own traditions, consider these points. The holidays provide an opportunity oppor-tunity to observe many happy traditions, tradi-tions, but there may also be some that are no longer enjoyable or fitting fit-ting for your family's current situation. situa-tion. Have family members make a list of their favorite traditions and then compare lists. Keep the traditions tradi-tions that are important, discard the one that aren't, and consider adding some new ones. Some ideas for new traditions include having children make their own ornaments or decorations each year; reading a favorite seasonal story together over a few evenings as the holidays approach; having a family storytelling session where each family member relates a favorite fa-vorite holiday past; or making a scrapbook of each year's holiday cards. Showing videos, slides or looking at photo albums of previous previ-ous celebrations is also a good way to remember past holidays. Traditions that are unique give a sense of exclusiveness and family pride, and can have a powerful and far-reaching effect. They educate the young and place value on significant sig-nificant events. They can also foster fos-ter a strong sense of belonging and self-worth, understanding of those before and around us, and feeling of gratitude.

His parents were some of the early Mormon settlers that came from Heber. When LaVell was a young boy, the family left Jensen and moved to Hayden, Colo, so his father could have more land to farm. Horrocks spent a lot of his youth clearing sagebrush, picking up rocks, and helping with the crops. He also loved to play marbles mar-bles and ride horses. Horrocks' father was the Bishop for many years. In addition to farming, farm-ing, he ran a store in the Hayden area. Horrocks and his brothers made many trips to Price with horses hors-es and a wagon to bring freight for the store. Horrocks went on a mission from the Neola Ward in 1926. He served in the Southern States Mission for 28 months under Charles A. Callis. After returning home, Horrocks served as a home missionary for many years. He traveled to Avalon, Ioka, Bennett, Ballard, Montwell, and many other towns, to speak in the churches.

One day, the single brother thought to himself: "it isn't really fair that we divide the grain evenly. I have myself to care for, but my brother has children to feed." So each night he secretly toofeome of his grain to his brother's granary to see that he was never without. ' (But the married brother said to himself one day, "It isn't really fair that we divide the grain evenly, because I have children to provide for me in my old age, but my brother has no one. "What will he do when he is old?" So every night he secretly toothsome of his grain to his brother's granary. !s a result, both of them always found their supply of grain mysteriously replenished each morning. Then one night the brothers met each other half way between their two houses, suddenly realized what had been happening, and embraced each other in love. The story is that Qod witnessed their meeting and proclaimed, "This is a holy place - a place of love - and here it is that my temple shall be budt. " And so it was. The holy place, where Qod is made nown, is the place where human beings discover each other in love. J or to love thy neighbor as thyself, fully satisfies all of Qod's requirements.
