STANDING COUPLE Miner family, children, spouses and Grandchildren taken in Salt Lake City A Gem of Thought "To Warm The Glen Bryant Miner & House to visit there and view the household and working effects of Paul Kruger. Near Outshoom we saw the huge ostrich farms and tried our: luck at riding,, on, the ostriches and learning of their strange culture. My father had owned a male ostrich and two females when I was a child, and I had known much about these big birds from that experience. Some of her philosophy of life is expressed in two poems she offered: s Whose Soul Is Stirred A poet penned these well-love- d lines: "No beauty seen is lost . . . The glory of this sunset heaven Into my soul has passed . Each is a poet who beholds A dawn in ribboned flame. Who loves the ripples of a pool. Who knows wild flowers by name. Whose soul is' stirred by birds sweet song As Sauls by Davids tune. Who loves the scent of pine and sage And cooling shade at noon. He views a miracle who sees A flower open wide Or watches streams of silver Course down the mountainside. Who wanders through the skies at night And speaks and bows to stars. Lives in a wondrous magic world with Jupiter and Mars. By gossamer strands of rainbow And ropes of golden sand. Were bound to Gods creations As He so wisely planned. Caroline Eyring Miner I Love a Window I love a window to the east; I love, to lift my eyes And look upon another day In glory of sunrise! I love to see the earth I know In magic glow and fire. It lifts my spirit to the skies And makes me aim tbe higher. About young people she said: I have always enjoyed young people, having had a large family and having taught school for 30 years. In our family some of the education which has come to them is a type of natural experience of just living together. Each summer weve tried to have a family vacation together. Weve gone to Yellowstone or to the coast, to Disneyland or to the Northwest. One time we visited Mexico, where one of our sons was on a mission. We enjoyed seeing the places where I think of these special kind of experiences with children as a kind of the core of feeling dose to them. Mrs. Miner has had several books published, among which are: Earthbound No Longer, To Warm The Heart, Building a Home to Last Forever, As a Great Tree, Life Story of Edward Christian Eyring and Theres Always Mother. Utah Womans Review congratulates Mrs. Carolyn Miner on her life of artistic service and wishes her continued happiness and the full enjoyment of life. . Heart." "Give and Take33 Baskets Grandmother told me that in the early pioneer days folks used to have a give and take basket that went the rounds about the neighborhood quite regularly. One good neighbor, for instance, who happened to have an extra supply of tallow candles might start it by putting some of them into a basket and sending them to the next-doneighbor who took them out if she needed them and if not she added something she had a surplus of, and sent the basket on. In this way, Mrs. C. or Mrs. D. or Mrs. E. might give or take, butter, eggs,' buttons, or anything else that she needed or had an extra supply of. or The idea of mutual helpfulness back of the "Give and Take basket is just as applicable to us today as it time. was in our great-grandmoth- ers' UBHT'W hed been. One interesting experience there with the children was in connection with poetry, which we enjoy. To help the children learn we offered them a dime to memorize them. One in particular I remember was Life Has Loveliness To Sell. It became kind of a family joke, especially during home evenings; if we couldnt think of anything else to do for entertainment, we could fall back on reciting the poem in unison. Visiting in South Africa Aboard an outrigger canoe tried to have the children interested in nature, taking them up the canyons, on family picnics. It didnt matter whether we had much to eat, We that was incidental. We simply went up to enjoy the streams and the flowers. Tanners Flat is one of our favorite spots.
