The joke usually is that the children are trying to be good so Santa doesn't forget them, but the adults show a change of heart also. Cheerfulness and smiles multiply, laughter and greetings are more common and everyone is in the mood to make charitable contributions. We are more willing to share, even if we don't have much to share. We sing or hum merry Christmas tunes and hope that everyone feels as ( joyous as we do. Still we read about many who are homeless, including little chil- - j dren. Hie fortunate ones will be able to find temporary shelter with! some organization and maybe a donated toy and some warm clothing. ! Others will be disappointed, but probably trying to keep warm and food; to eat will hold the highest priority. There are many things that we can do to lend a helping hand, and it ( doesn't have to be through a big organization. Following are three ex- - ( amples of a way to get in the spirit of giving. Virginia Taylor's brother, Thomas, is fasting to make the world a better place. In Riverside, CA, on Oct. 18, Thomas Sly began a fast to ! call attention to the "deteriorating condition of the world and it's leaders." So Taylor, a homemaker in Sandy, did something to help. She ' aid her weldermusidan husband, Patrick, organized "Jam For Bread," a live benefit show held at the Salt Lake Fairgrounds. They encouraged six local bands to donate their time and found corporate underwriting for the costs. The price of admission was food items given to the Salt Lake County emergency food system. Jill Carls ton is known by many as the "turkey lady." For five years she has raised money to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to families in need. Last year, Carls ton's efforts made possible turkey and trimmings for 408 households that were experiencing difficult times. Carls ton, a clinical nutritionist and certified dietician with the Salt Lake Coiflrtuinity Health Center, Is shooting for a "turkey on every table" r..v .C-'Vf diislieason:;: Steve Scott hangs wallpaper, but he knows a lot about plants. He knew that wholesale nurseries usually destroyed their unsold bedding ' plants after the 4th of July. He asked nursery people if, instead of the wasting plants, they would donate them to a worthy cause. He con-- 1 tacted a local charity he liked and pitched them on his idea for a fundraiser. This summer, Scott will coordinate his fourth annual plant sale. So what do Taylor, Carls ton, and Scott have in common? They're regular folks who are making a difference. They're making the world a better place and feeling swell about it I I I rv . .

Dear Editor The final counts are in, nearly 700 volunteers responded to TreeUtah's emergency planting on Nov. 17 in Midway, planting a total of 9,205 seedingsl Since TreeUtah is comprised of all of us, we can all take pride in our accomplishment and give ourselves a well deserved pat on die back. We should also include special thanks to those who supported and fithe effort through nancial donations including Price-SavWarehouse, The Laird, Norton Foundation, Abbott Critical in-ki- nd en Care Systoms, Kinko's, Earthy Matters, The Homestead, Take Pride in Utah. Salt Lake Fish and Game Association, Lone Peak State Forest Nursery, Wasatch, Summit and Salt Lake Counties, the Soil Conservation Sendee and the many individuals who continue to send donations to TreeUtah in support of the effect Our appreciation should also be extended to members of the press far their support and to those state and federal forest employees who gave up their Saturday to join us and who stepped in on short notice to give much needed organizational and equipment assistance. Without their help, this planting would not have been possible. i ' ,ti It was TreeUtah's largest volunteer project to date and we believe is a first for Utah and among one of the largest volunteer planting efforts ever done in the U.S. It is Single Missionaries... his ward, Funds will come, as in the past, willingly made in the past and must continue to be the basis of our from three sources: contributions worldwide missionary program. which the individual missionary Effective Jan. 1, 1991, the may make; contributions required to cover the parents, families, and friends, and service-relate-d expenses of a single contributions by ward members missionary called from the United generally who will be urged to States or Canada will be $350 contribute to die ward missionary U.S., or $400 Canadian monthly, fund as well as to the general regardless of where the missionary missionary fund, serves.

The Nov. 17 planting is the first of several in an ongoing effort to restore some 40,000 plants and trees to valuable watershed lost in last August's devastating fire. The next plantings will probably take place in the Spring of 1992 since it will take approximately twenty months to grew the appropriate pwllinp An overwhelming success, our Midway planting demonstrates how much each of us cares about our environment and our understanding of how delicate and vulnerable our planet is. It attracted volunteers ranging from Scouts to college professors and journalists. Everyone demonstrated patience, kindness, and determination in their effort to plant every single seedling. In turning our shovels we also remembered the two Wasatch County men who lost their lives trying to save others and their property. The planting was dedicated to Blake Wright and Ralph Broadhead and we hope a rejuvenated green mountain will be a comfort to their families. Congratulations to all of us!
