Greenhalgh) of Santaquin North Stake. Ward, Santaquin-Tinti- c For fifty-tw- o years she has served in music leadership capacities in Santaquin First Ward and in stake positions also. With the division and renaming of wards several months ago she continues guiding and directing music in the new named North Ward. Through the many years she has directed the Ward Choir and Singing Mothers group, as well as leading congregational singing in Sacrament meetings, Sunday School and Relief Society and she still carries on in these capacities. She has also led music in MIA and Primary in the ward and has served as chorister in Stake Relief Society for four years as well as being on the .Stake Sunday School Board for many years. This sister of devotion has truly been a musical light upon a hill, for she has always been known as one of dependability. You never had to question if music would be taken care of, for Ida didnt fail sometimes others failed her but she always came up with a pinch-hittmember of family in that event also. On February 5, this dedicated music leader will be 76 years of age. She has music sheets and books on piano, in boxes and many areas of her home, that helps her sweet reminiscence more comof devotions and conplete a life-tiding, er ward choir. At that same Stake Conference, Elder Mark E. Peterson, of the Church General Authorities, praised the sweet music of the choir and the very able direction of its leader. Ida commenced leading singing 52 years ago when her second child was six months of age, and there has been a continued musical accomplishment and joy in her life of service ever since. Her patriarchal blessing told her, There will be sweet music in heaven because of your efforts. Sister Greenhalgh comes very naturally by her special talents for her father was John Henry Tew, who himself, spent a life of giving joy with his music in this area. His daughters, Ida and Grace (Tew) Nielsen, and Arthur Hendrickson, sang in a mixed-quart- et for many years, for special programs, many funerals and for other events. Idas father and mother sang duets also and he played in an orchestra. At 16 years of age Ida sang and played for movie slides, before sound tracts were made. And isnt it only natural that many years later Idas father sang base in the ward choir with Ida as the director? Knowing Ida had music ability Mr. Tew traded a horse for an organ and although she never did have music training it wasnt long until she played Catch the Sunshine and Earth With Her Flowers, for hours on end. Ida fondly recalls the beautiful Primary Music Cantatas which she taught to so We many, many children. She says, practiced and practiced but with the typical spirit that at times seemed like unruliness of youngsters to try patience, I would sometimes despair that we could ever present it but they always came And it was through! Then she added, beautiful with the children costumed too. A very special recollection is of a youngster, Adrian Elton, son of Samuel Elton, who at one time told this trute incident of Ida. One time whenlwas being tempted to do wrong, IrememberedSister Greenhalgh and the song she taught me in Primary, Shine On, and I couldnt do the later. Santaquin North Ward has a very new and vital young Boy Scout leader, Jim DeGraffenried. There are 22 active Scouts out of a possible 24, within the ranks of the Scouts, Explorers and Ensigns in North Ward. Jim DeGraffenried is the Boy Scout leader of twelve Boy Scouts. They are looking forward to a marvelous overnight Winter camp in our beautiful Santaquin Canyon locale for Friday and Saturday January 30 and 31. His father, Charles, is the Ward Ensign Leader.

When I tried to write of specific number of years for each position she said, Oh, I didnt try to keep track.... and we say, No, she just served. She has led the Singing Mothers for many, many years, and a few years ago, we sang for the old folks at Eldred Manor, also in General conference with other Singing Mothers directed there by Sister Madsen of Relief Society General Board, but we were first taught by Ida here. She has directed many Christmas and other kinds of specials through the nior SPECIALS CAR at The Boy Scouts, alsoearnbadges categories such as: activities, arts, scholars, citizenship, sportsmanship, athletics, patriotism, forestry, traetc. They enjoy lesveling, sons from their special handbook. Paul is an enthusiastic leader of boys and they really respond to his leadership. Troop 100. Center Ward, Scoutmaster, Thays Stanley, was sustained to that position just a couple of weeks ago and they are laying plans for a fine Boy Scout week and other outstanding activities. There are six Boy Scouts, 14 Ensigns and 15 Explorer youth in Center Ward. Explorers are ably directed by Max Jolley and Dennis Barnes is working with the Ensigns until a new leader is sustained. According to Brother Jolley his troop plans on a window display and are also planning for January an overnight winter camp-g31 and February 1. South Ward Boy Scout Troop 99 with their leader, Brother Duane Eagar, responded to a call to come for a picture for this column. There are 11 boys in the troop all excited over scouting and laying plans for special activities for Scout week. Kay Tischner is the Explorer leader of 14 youths in the ward. They are laying plans for and discussing the coming overnight winter-cam- p activity. Parents, if you desire your boy to be dependable and to achieve in many great activities and fields, then help him to become a man among men by encouraging him to become active in the full scouting program. in many Her five daughters, even though married, still sing together for many occasions, and it is like sweet music of heaven too. Recently she took her young 16 year old grandson, Brian Peterson, by the arm and challenged him to learn to lead music; and this he does as director in the North Ward Sunday School. It is wonderful to see his dedication and determination, sweet devotion and endearing personality-exactl- y like his grandmother, Ida. Her son, Eldon Greenhalgh, and his daughter, Susan, often sing for special events, and Susan sings in girls groups and solos at Payson High School. Ida is the wife of William J. Greenhalgh of whom some very wonderful stories can also be told. They have eight living children, 27 grandchildren and 20 greatgrandchildren and it is a good bet that each one can sing if challenged. The family gets together much of the time on each Fast Sunday after noon at their grandparents home and the walls must thrill at the lovely sounds. There indeed, will be sweet music in heaven, if all the talents of Ida and her family are increased there as she was if she would multiply and use promised them here USED os brothers, years. r Wall. asked Paul Calloway about the Webe-lprogram for 10 year old boys.
