She has also been employed at Commercial After a brief visit with this week's good cook, it isn't hard to see why she was chosen Mother of the Year by the Tremon-to- n Women's Civic League recently. Mrs. Mirl Mason of Tremonton recently , received the honor which she said came as a complete surprise, "I just about died of curiosity," she admitted, waiting for a delegation of Civic League women to explain why they had come to visit. One reason she was surprised, she said, is because she really isn't a Tremontonite. She spent most of her life on a farm in Howell where she and her husband successfully raised four children. Her children include Dr. Reese Mason, a Tremonton dentist; Mrs. Sharon (Mar-lene- ) Archibald, Tremonton; Mrs. Hal (Glade) Nielsen, Downey, Idaho and Mrs: Kenneth (Naone) Godfrey, Brigham City. What are the secrets of her success? According to the Mother of the Year there aren't many. ? "I don't think I've got many secrets," she admitted. "I just happened to be blessed with four good ones." She does feel it was easier raising children in her day than for the young mothers of today, and the farm atmosphere also helped. "I do think it's harder now," she said. "There are a lot more temptations now than they had then. The kids couln't go places so easily ... especially where I raised mine, out on the farm at Howell." The farm kept the children busy too. A farm gives kids "something to do so they're not just running around all the time. And they had plenty of jobs to do." She is also a firm believer that kids today have too much given to them. On the farm kids worked hard. "Our children always knew they had certain things to. do," Mrs. Mason recalled. It was usually late when the youngsters got .. home from schooj after traveling the four miles in between and they "always had the lawn to mow or to water." Having successfully run the gauntlet of motherhood, Mrs. Mason admits she wouldn't want to have the chance to start all over in today's world. "I'm glad mine are raised. I feel sorry for these young parents," she observed. Mrs. Mirl Mason . . . Good Cook f But, unlike some women who disdain motherhood in today's women's lib movement, she isn't at all apologetic about her occupation as mother. "I felt like it was important because I knew that they (her children) were going to be the next generation to take over." She sums up her philosophy as a mother neatly in a phrase her children heard often while growing up. "Whatever we did, we tried to do well, that was one motto in our house," she said. Adapted to city life now for about the last 16 years, Mrs. Mason says all she needs to keep active is "just a needle and thimble." She is an active genealogist and a Relief Society visiting teacher in the Tremonton Fourth Ward. She doesn't watch much television though. "I'm not a TV fan at all," she commented. She feels TV causes a lot of today's crime, noting that children "see too much of that kind of stuff." "My children, instead of watching TV, were always at the piano ... all four could play."
