Dear Leader, I'm desirious of expressing my appreciation to you for sending me the Bear River Valley Leader. Never have I realized what a wonderful paper we have in our valley. Each week I look forward with great anticipation of receiving the paper. I am, thankful for having the pfirtimlty of working here Tn Council Bluffs. One reason is because' of the historical places which mean so much to us. The other day my companion (Sister Bodily) and myself, were going to a cottage meeting, on our way we passed a home which was built by Brigham Young. The old grist mill, the pioneers built is still standing. The cemetery in Florence is a beautiful spot, and the magnificient and inspiring monument is indeed an honor to our church. The missionary activities in Council Bluffs are very progressive. We are conducting a primary every day and attending one or two cottage meetings each day. At the present time, our primary children are working hard on a Christmas program, they will present a one act play "The Christmas Toys" and a pageant "Christmas Night." There will be approximately fifty children take part. Last night one of our friends, Miss Helen Wright, called in to spend the evening. Miss Wright made the statement that she found the people in our church more friendly and sociable than in other churches. The past nineteen and half months have been full of crowning and interesting experiences. I wish to thank you again for sending me the home town news. Sincerely, Rhoda Christensen.

A. PREPARE FOR LIVESTOCKSHOW Clyde Anderson Gets Up Nights To Feed Hogs it in- -- f " 1 Several members of the Bear River Future Farmer chapter in Garland, and Tremonton are busy these days putting the finishing touches on their fat stock which will be exhibited at the Ogden livestock show in January, according to Mark Nichols F. F. A. instructor at Bear-- River High school, who is superintendent of the swine department of the show. Clyde Anderson, of the Bear River Future Farmer chapter, who exhibited the grand champion carlot of fat hogs in the 1936 show will be represented again with another carlot. He is putting in extra time with his hogs this year as shown by the fact he has had electric lights installed in his pens and gets up in the night to give them an extra feeding. "When a boy is willing to get up in the middle of the night to feed hogs somebody will have to look out at the coming show when the grand champion ribbons are being passed around," said Mr. Nichols. FROM SINGLE SOW Roy Morgan, another chapter member, exhibited the grand champion fat barrow at the 1936 show. "He decided to go into the game in a big way in '37 and expects to exhibit one or two carlots, two pens of three and four singles," added Nichols. "He started out with a single brood sow three years ago and has grown Into a real swine feeder in this short period. At present he has over 100 hogs on the farm, all progeny from the one sow." Roy is the son of a painter and states he likes to feed hogs bet ter than swinging the brush. "Day Gaifield, another Bear River F. F. A. chapter member, exhibited the reserve champion carlot of fat cattle at the 1936 show, and the grand champion carlot at the 1936 show, and is going after it strong again this year with another carlot entry. Day purchased these steers from Nebeker of Laketown at the 1936 Ogden feeder cattle sale and says they ought to look about right to exhibit next month. Day has been a beef cattle exhibiter during the last four years. Previous to that time no beef cattle had been raised on the farm. Day maintains today that he would rather feed beef steers than milk dairy cows but that both work out well into the scheme of farming practiced in the Garfield farm in East Tremonton. CAR OF STEERS "Max Anderson, a fourth chapter member, will come to the 1937 show with a car of fat beef steers and some individuals which he will show in the Future Farmer division. Max has been a regular exhibiter for the last four years at Ogden. He has taken several firsts with single steers and in 1935 and 1936 exhibited fat range lambs which took first each year as Junior carlots and in 1935 first in the open class. He will exhibit another carlot of fat range lambs this year. "Several other Bear River chapter members will show fat stock at Ogden and are looking forth to the same good time as In former years which the show management always offers to junior exhibitors."
