[Heber J. Grant]
In the afternoon we had a ride with Brother and Sister B. S. Hinckley and Sister May Anderson. Nearly all of our rides for the past week have been up Emigration Canyon, over Little Mountain, down into Parleys and home. The view as you go down the canyon to get into Parleys is very fine. I love the mountains when they are covered with white snow. On nearly all of our trips we have had the pleasure of seeing a few deer. One day we counted 81. The government rangers feed them about half way down the mountain. I have never had the pleasure of being present at one of the feedings, but on one occasion a dozen or more ran in front of our car and we stopped and I think it was eight or ten feet on the other side of the road, and to see them spring to the top of the bank was very interesting. They went up just like they were on rubber balls. ...
During the day I had quite a long talk with Brother Clark and Brother David O. McKay regarding calling some men to help the Quorum of the Twelve as so many of the Quorum are in poor health. We are all getting along in years and not capable of doing the work we formerly did.
