And what a wonderful Opportunity it is for all of us to reflect through our own experiences the tremendous influence our own Mother had on our lives. . . Since realizing that next Sunday is Mother's Day, 1 have been thinking of an appropriate tribute I might offer on this most important occasion. . . The answer came from Mrs. Violet Gentry, Ioka correspondent, in a beautiful parable for Mothers, which is as follows: a A Llttls Parcblo For Mothers Bailey The Young Mother set her feet on the path of Life. By Tempi . Is the Way long? par-rafi- n she asked. 0 And her guide said: Yes. And the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it But the wad will be better than the beginning." 0 , But the Young Mother was happy, and she would not behave that anything could be better than these years. So die played with her children, and gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed thorn in the clear streams ini the sun shone on them and Life was good, and the Young Mother cried, Nothing will ever be lovelier than this." & Then night cam, and storm, and th path was dark, and th children shook with' fear and cold, and th Mother drew them doo and covrd them with bar and th children said. "Oh. Mother, w era not afraid, foe you are near, and no harm tan coca" And th Mother said. "This is bettor than th brightness of day. for 1 have taught my children courage." m.tu , v And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the Mother was weary, but at all times she said to the children, A little patience, and we are there." So the children climbed, and when they reached the top, they said, We could not haVe done it without you. Mother." And the Mother, when she lay down that night, looked up at the stars and said, This is a better day than the last, for my children have fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave i courage. them Today 1 give fthem strength. And the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth. . . clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the Mother said, Look looked up. lift your eyes to the light." And the children and it nd saw above the clouds an Everlasting Glory, And darkness. the them and beyond them famugkt guided that night the Mother said, This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God." . days wealandon, and th weeks, and lb th Mother grow old. and ad th years, children war strong eh was wu and bant.

And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: We cannot see her, but she la with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. "SHE IS A LIVING PRESENCE" v E v t The Lord will hear when I call unto him (Psalms 4:3) This is the promise of the power of prayer humbly end devoutly asking the All Highest for strength and guidance to live as His children, to make ourselves in all things worthy of His help. v E v There are now 3.B2S press agents employed by the various departments of the government at Washington and the best way to kill a newspaper is to fill it with the piffle they send out. 30 ! two-yea- Testing Stations Set Dp To Test Water la Divers said.'

The attempt had to be abandoned, however, when the heavy equipment bogged down. Blasting was then resorted to, but proved quite unsatisfactory, as well as expensive since windows were shattered in the nearby residences. Every man in the community was called into action Sunday afternoon, and every available man has given service. In spite of all this, the menacing water has gradually climbed to new levels, taking into its scope other homes and properties; surging over highway 40 on the west, and cutting a new channel around the Indian Canyon bridge on the south. The situation is fast get ting out of control due to the limited number of workmen available. Tuesday morning the water had receded somewhat, but 3 the day progressed it became ap parent that it would assume, if not go above the level set Monday. The women of the community have been serving lunches to th men on the job. Tuesday a hot dinner was served at noon in the LDS Church to 28 men. A count of 40 had been turned in, but shortly before noon a call came for a part of the crew to proceed to Myton where the new bridge on highway 40 was threatened.
