Faced with closure of the sugar factory, Lehi farmers were trying desperately to get one load of beets a day out of the ground. The tedious process involved plowing the frosty soil, digging out the beets, cutting the tops off the frozen vegetables, and tossing them, one by one, into the huge red beet wagon. Added to the challenge cf frozen fields were two additional problems that created a severe manpower shortage: many of the Valley's men were enlisted in the armed forces, and many more were too sick to farm the "black plague" had spread its deadly fingers across fields and townships. From this dim setting came one of the earliest examples of welfare service in Utah Valley. According to Les Goates, a Lehi resident, "While my dad and brother Francis were thusly engaged in harvesting the family's only cash crop and were having their evening meal one day, a phone call came through our eldest brother, George Albert, bearing the tragic news that Kenneth had been stricken with the dread flu, and after only a few hours d j i'r , cerns.

The ugly brown discharge of the black plague was oozing from the father's e3rs and nose, and he was virtually burning up with fever. "Take my boy home,',' muttered the stricken young father, "and lay him away in the family lot and come back for me tomorrow." Mr. Goates brought the tiny body car. He made a coffin in his carpenter shop and went to dig the grave while his wife and daughters made a cushion and lining for the coffin. The next day Mr. Goates received news that three more of the. family had succumbed to the sickness. He made two more journeys to Ogden to bring Charles and his two little girls home to Lehi. breakfast, according to Les Goates, "Dad said to Francis, 'Well, son, we had better get down to the field and see if we can get another load of beets out of the ground before they get frozen in any tighter.

The family unit comes to us as a gift of God from the Garden of Eden. When'Jesus came to this earth He confirmed what He had created. His first recorded miracle was performed in connection with a wedding when he turned water into punch tor the wedding guests. In the sermon on the mount He discussed proper tamily relationships. As He hung on the cross He made provision for the care of His mother. Living religion in the home will do more to make the home happy than anything else. A prominent judge said, "The high number of divorces is caused primarily by the lack of religion in the home. Where there is no religion there is seldom any social responsibility. Where there is no social responsibility, there is no family responsibility; and lacking that, everything goes out the window." The cornerstone of a living religion in the home is family worship.
