This club is made up of some very busy ladies who not only are mothers and run their homes efficiently, but some hold down full time jobs, most are busy in Civic and school activities, and most are involved in church work. We meet once a month at different members homes to enjoy each others company and to be enriched by some very special programs. The club officers for 1975-7- 6 were: Jeneen Watkins as president; Kathryn Holm.-stea- d, vice president; JoAnn secretary; Phyllis Crookston as treasurer, Brown, Dalene Jones, reporter, historian; Lois Davis and Mama e Berry, program chairmen, Peck, Carma Price and Fern Whimpey civic committee; and Maxine Black as Litany. This past year as a service project we donated money to the PTA at the Harrington School to help the handicapped children. We made a quilt and donated it to the Featival of Trees. We sponsor a lovely girl every year for the Miss Lehi Pageant and help with a float in the Round-u- p Parade. We heard the Hi Los, had book reviews, attended the school play, "Title of Liberty," had a guest night, held an election meeting and a summer party. We had our summer outing with our husbands and we took them to Sun Dance for dinner and the show. It was a very successful and delightful evening. Many of the children of members were married this year. This season of 1976-7- 7 the club is being led by a group of very capable ladies. Kathryn Holmstead is president; DeR-a- e Darling, vice president; Carole Evans, secretary; Fern Whimpey, treasurer; Shirley Tripp, reporter and historian; Maxine Black and Shirley Southwick program chairmen, Donna Gordon, LaDean Peterson and Pat Bone, civic committee and Bonnie Southwick, Ar-len- Litany.

We wondered how we would get any helps to aid our leaders and teachers. The Resource Information Center at the Relief Society building has all the educational media anyone needs and it is open to all stakes for a three month period from July to September. There is a designated time for each department on the Stake Board. Although we miss the General Relief Society Conferences, we are finding may ways that they give us the information needed. Our Regional Conference was held in June and was very successful with instructions and is one of the main sources of departmental aids. This meeting is for the stake board and then we in turn present a Post Regional Conference and introduce the new material to the ward presidencies and departmental leaders. In place of our annual spring festival we were asked by the Stake Presidency to aid the stake with the combined Heritage and Gold and Green Balls, This was a very ful occasion.. We shared rooms of handicraft, antiques, and homemade candy which was our assignment. Our homemaking department has asked three specialists to aid the sisters of our Auctus Club Completes (76 in 76) We appreciate very much the interest and help the wards are giving us in gaining 76 new members in 1976. The attendance has begun to increase, thus stimulating our desire to support the program with all the help we can give. We are happy to announce that many of the sisters have contributed to the Relief Society Monument that is to be errected at Nauvoo, Illinois. The purpose of this monument is two fold; first to honor the founding of the Relief Society by the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1842 and second, to make it possible to portray to the world the role of women in the gospel plan as it is understood Saints. We by the Latter-daare pleased to be a part of proclaiming this important message to the world which only we, the women of the church can tell.

Peace on earth and good will to men is the traditional message of Christmas, now it has become a necessity of life. It is also a time for personal reflection, evaluation of past actions, performance and accomplishments. We meet on a monthly basis, enjoy three parties each year, interspersed with cultural and informative programs. Some very outstanding, entertaining and educational programs have been presented this year. We keep informed of the progress of the legislative body by reports from the council representative who attends the council meetings in Provo. Our club philosophy for this year is the following quoting from President Heber J. Grant: "That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the nature of the thing changes but our ability to do increases."

The fire in the kitchen stove had long since gone out. She shook the sleeping form of little brother Doug. "C'mon, I think it's morning," she wishpered. Doug was immediately awake.

They glanced toward their chairs in the dining room and the lovely smell of bananas and oranges met them as they Tender loving care for thriving tpoinsettas Do you know the origin of the lovely plant we have come to identify with Christmas? These colorful plants were first introduced to America in 1825, by Joel Poinsett, then serving as our Ambassador to Mexico, who brought some 16 plants back to his South Carolina greenhouse. He gave them to friends and botanists with greenhouses who nurtured them carefully. Poinsettias moved out of doors in the early 1900's when a Swiss horticulturist, Albert Ecke, started to raise them in California for local holiday selling. Now we have come to enjoy poinsettias, not only at the Christmas holiday, but all the year round as well. The most popular Is the vivid red, but there are white, pink and marbled flowers as handsome and radiant. Poinsettias need specific care if they are to flourish, but that care is not really complicated. They are happiest kept at room temperature, near a window, in full daylight, but out of drafts. Water when the top soil feels dry to your touch, keeping the soil moist but not wet. If you decide to move your poinsettia outdoors for the summer, it will need cutting back to help It retain its shape. To encourage a shorter, fuller plant cut it back between the middle of July and the beginning of August, and repot in a pot one or two sizes larger than the original, and bring indoors again about Labor Day. Poinsettias are sensitive plants that flower in response to the length of the day. Ten hours of daylight and fourteen hours of darkness will start flowers on their way, but the least glimmer of light during the dark hours will abort any flowering. the plant should From about October 1 to be in complete darkness from sunset to sunup. It can be put into a closet, in a room that remains dark through those hours, or under a table that is skirted to the floor. it over If you have a large enough carton available the poinsettia to keep light out. Unless the plant is kept in the dark it will not flower. The colorful bracts that develop from this period will be ample reward for your tender loving care, and will add much excitement to your holiday decor. By Betty Fowler peered into the darkness. "Ohhh, he's been here!" she said. They ran to their long brown stockings laid on the chairs. Then she saw the purse. All she had wanted was a purse and a book and there they were! So excited she was shaking, she picked up the blue imitation leather purse and hugged it to her. The book was just the one she had wanted, "Peggy Raymonds Vacation". Doug tried not. to scream, "it's here, it's here! My BB gun and BB's too! They were ecstatic. Some time later, she pulled on the long cotton stockings, donned her coat and little hat. She forced on the black galoshes and opened the door. Doug couldn't leave his gun long enough to go with her so she headed for the tabernacle alone, trudging the two blocks through the mountains of crisp white snow. Such a feeling of happiness came over her she'd never really known before. It was still very dark outside and the sky was brilliant with rust-color- stars. She pushed open the big tabernacle door and entered the warm interior of the huge building. After finding her place right in front of the stand she quietly sat down to wait for the beginning of the Christmas Pageant which always started promptly at six a.m. The precious blue purse contained a few pieces of hardtack she'd rationed out especially to enjoy during the pageant.
