Gibson When its practice time at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald C. Newell, the whole house jumps to the beat of the drums, the music of the accordian, and the chords of the guitar. These sounds are made by the Newell children: Leslie Ann, Ronald Trev, and Cory. The veteran of the family music old group is Leslie Ann, an who can make the accordian jump and turn out dozens of musical selections. Leslie Ann received the accordian as her Christmas gift at about the time she was seven years of age. Tutored by her father, shes been practicing and playing ever since. A couple of years ago she decided to learn to play the piano. She now plays the two instruments and she favors the piano when it comes 11-ye- ar to practice time. She is a student in the sixth grade at the Juab District Elementary School in Nephi and enjoys participating in school programs. As if piano and accordian playing werent enough, Leslie Ann has another love at the present time. She takes gymnastics and acrobatic lessons each week in Orem and is becoming quite adept at tumbles, cartwheels, etc. Ghost Riders in the Sky is the favorite selection that Ronald Trev likes to play on his guitar. Trev received his guitar two years ago and is quite an accomplished player. Like his sister, he is also practicing on the piano, but leans to the guitar as his favorite. Trev is a student in the fourth grade.

Adult members of the stake heard from members of the stake presidency and a woman member of the stake at the session. The Lord will never release us from being called to preside over a family unit, President Vaughn J. Paxman, the opening speaker, told preiesthood bearers in the conference. The day you are married, you accept a call to preside over your family, they were told. Sometimes, we hastily do things we ought not to do, under the guise of precedence or something, that takes us away from the time we should spend with our children, he said. President Paxman told of families from the scriptures, citing especially Lehi and Eli, that went one way or the other in dealings with their families. While Lehi occasionally fell from the teachings of the Lord, he was mainly a dedicated, responsible person and father, according to Pres- ident Paxman.

Burial at the Vine Bluff cemetery was directed by Anderson Funeral Home. Eli, meanwhile, did not assume his responsibilities in dealing with his family, President Paxman said. The Lord has given us a challenge, brethren. Hes given us a call to preside over an eternal kingdom, President Paxman stressed. The men of the stake have the same promise as Abraham, that their families will grow through eternity and be countless. Our family will also be like that, without end and always we shall preside, Paxman said. It is our responsibility to remain faithful to this calling, presiding as a the patriarch over our family, stakes first counselor said. Session-goer- s also heard from Dixie Boswell.

In the closing address of the stakes quarterly conference, President Golden R. Mangelson called on church members to unite against the prob-- 1 lem of sliding moral values. We have a problem within our stake of great magnitude, we feel, of the growing decline of moral values in youth and adults, President said. Mangelson Mangelson challenged the parents and the young people of the stake to improve the moral attitude of our people, in his Sunday address. He called on church members to refrain from using vulgar and obscene language as part of his call to repentance. He also called for the young people of the stake to stand up before their peers and show their maturity by refusing to indulge in such vulgar conversations. I believe that real strength of character is exhibited when a person can stand before his friends and the people around him and defend his beliefs, President Mangelson continued. It seems as people mature, they get that quality in their character to be able to decide what is right and to stand up for that thing, he added. Young people, youve heard the authorities say dare to be different. You may have to be different to accomplish this thing. , LDS told President Mangelson also nounced the building of a new seminary building to be located on land near the site of the new high school building. He called for stake members to support the leadership of the stake when donations are called for in the future for the building project. Mangelson also announced the formation of a branch geanealogical library, containing microfilmed records and other records, to be started soon within the stake. The library will be located in one of the chapels in the stake, he said. President Mangelson concluded his Sunday address by stressing the need for moral cleanliness, a topic that was also the basis of his Saturday evening talk. Many of the ills of the world, President Mangelson said, are caused by moral decay, not only with young people, but with old alike. President Mangelson s concern with families and morals was echoed in other talks of the two-dacony ference. Surely one of the great challenges we have as parents today is teach" ing virtue to our children, President Wesley A. Lynn said in the Sunday morning session. President Lynn said that parents have many responsibilities to their children, who came to them in a state of innocence. The youth of the church are being challenged in modern times Please turn to page two Funeral services held for A.
