Variety of
diet during the winter time month’s at Winter Quarters was meager to say the
least. As it was, even during the best of times, without the luxury of stepping
into a store, I’m sure there was very little choice. Is it any wonder then when the spring and summer months arrived and the earth brought forth her
bounty that Helen Mar Whitney penned the above phrase. By the way, what did she
and others eat “until they were clogged?”
a.
Watermelon
b.
Corn
c.
Strawberries
d.
Apples
Yesterday’s answer:
(D) Listening to music
In the
matter of the training and education of his own children, President Young said
the following: “I had not a chance to dance when I was young, and never heard
the enchanting tones of the violin, until I was eleven years of age; and then I
thought I was on the high way to hell, if I suffered myself to linger and
listen to it. I shall not subject my little children to such a course of
unnatural training, but they shall go to the dance, study music, read novels,
and do anything else that will tend to expand their frames, add fire to their
spirits, improve their minds, and make them feel free and untrammeled in body
and mind.”
