everybody take care and we will see you again tomorrow I hope to see you on the comments my only Forest Trail and who speak can these be an Indian brave a Pioneer Scouts Daniel Boone perhaps no it's not a forest and it's just bill would you think that even walking across his own lawn with the branches bill has to be as careful as Daniel Boone was in the forest see what we mean yes there is Adventure and danger in your world every day but now watch how his sisters and Bill do things safely at home they are going to give a party everybody is busy decorating the living room but not too busy to be careful and Bill is especially careful notice how he turns in the edge of the ax blade phew getting those branches was a job but they are needed for decorating so Bill gets back to work he wants to trim the branches but mother will like it if he doesn't scratch the table so this paper will be just the thing to protect the furniture now bill is ready to start trimming his knife stays in his pocket until he's ready as he opens the knife do you see how careful bill is he knows his sharp jackknife is just as dangerous as Daniel Boone's hunting knife that's why bill is careful and that's why he always cuts away from himself when you do trimming bill then closes he is careful to use the palm of his hand to close it keeping his fingers away from The Cutting Edge then back into Bill's pocket goes the knife in the meantime Francis has cut out these animals to use as decorations won't they look nice over the curtains ask Jane but the window is too high for Bill's sisters it's a job for a man a careful man Phil knows a stepladder is safer than a chair but first the latter must rest on an even spot on the floor and using the side brace will help keep the ladder steady now watch a safe way to climb keeping both hands free to hold on Francis steadies the ladder as Bill goes up and Jane hands him the hammer when Bill's ready to work don't you think the safe way is the exciting way while bill is working on top both hands are used by Francis to steady the ladder and notice how Bill is careful not to lean out too far as he finishes the job then to put the ladder away down in the cellar why is the last celestep painted white to tell Bill when he's at the bottom even though the stairs are well lighted do your celesters have enough light now to help the girls finish the job in the living room watch this could Francis have left the toolbox on the stairs that's dangerous watch out here comes Jane ah see why leaving things on the steps is dangerous Jane might have tripped and had a nasty fall the toolbox must be put away in a safer place yes Francis was careless and she is really sorry when Bill reminds her how bad it can be to leave things on Steps From now on Francis will put everything away properly and now Bill and Francis and Jane are almost finished with the party decorations but here's dad who has been doing his share of the work for the party what has he brought for them something for the party a surprise yes that's brought some extra fancy party trimmings more crepe paper and electric candle lamps the girls are pleased and so is that why because electric lamps are much safer than real wax candles with open flames Phil agrees that electricity is man's good servant but it can also shock and burn dad says always be sure the electric wire isn't ragged worn or broken especially near the plug the rest of the wire should be checked too Francis and Jane must listen now there's a little safety trick dad wants to show them he is going to connect the electric candle lamps bill will help Dad Francis and Jane will watch first dad moves the table away from the wall it's always easier and safer when you have plenty of room in which to work after the wire has been checked dad Begins by putting the wire plug in the wall outlet carefully and here's the little safety trick keeping the wire off the floor by slipping wire holder Clips behind the baseboard this way no one can trip over the wire and the wire itself can't be broken while it's in use when the wire is strung along the baseboard like this it's neat and it's safe meanwhile in the kitchen mother is busy with her share of the work for the party preparing good things to eat now Jane comes to help Mother and see if the cookies are ready for baking yes mother has just finished cutting them here's where Jane learns the safe way to light the gas oven using this long taper instead of a match will keep Jane's hand away from the flame watch the taper go under the burners then Jane sets the heat at the temperature mother needs to bake the cookies now turn on the gas and the oven is lit no danger of a gas explosion here Jane drops the taper in a waste can now she removes a hot saucepan cover with a holder tilting it away from herself so she can't be burned by escaping Steam and see how mother keeps the Panhandle away from the stove front that's to prevent the saucepan from being tipped off the stool while Jane hangs up the potholder mother says the oven is ready for baking the last kitchen job is for Jane hiding the baking tins into the oven in go the cookies but not Jane's hands remember the oven is hot almost party time now good girl Francis now tidy up your room please says mother in the bathroom mother hangs up towels for the guests what's that on the lower shelf of the medicine cabinet a bottle marked poison very dangerous where small children can reach it the top shelf will be a safer place for that poison bottle before the party starts let's repeat a few safety points of course you'll remember to be careful with a jackknife but can you answer this what would you do with a side brace why is the bottom seller step painted white why is it dangerous to leave things on stairs what is there about electric wiring that must be checked why do you do this before or after turning on the gas do you tilt the cover away from you or toward you where should you keep a poison bottle and now Bill Francis and Jane are having a whale of a good time with their friends there have been no ends to spoil the fun by doing things safely Bill Francis and Jane have learned that safety begins at home yes safety at home the adventure and it sure is fun [Music] ever since Eve womens role has been that of homemaker the frontier home was in her care

lots reveal the rainbow's Hues as the color Revolution gains momentum practically everything we buy today is available in a range of color choices ceramics radios luggage telephones [Music] ranges

out of confusion how to select wall colors that will tie these multi-hued products together to achieve a harmonious Pleasant and tasteful room the answer can be found in something creatively and scientifically new the new colorizer paint system let's suppose you're selecting colors for the kitchen in your new home or that you're redoing your old one decided on the floor covering at the range

and selection the light pastels are at the left the middle depth colors next and the Deep tone colors in the right hand columns clean clear tones are at the top softer or muted colors develop as you look down the page the visual Arrangement and order of the colors in each color family a cord with the way people see color naturally you'll notice that each page has a number of gloss chips they

just one of three base paints there's a white base for the light or pastel colors a mid-tone for the middle depth colors and a deep tone for the darker colors then there are 17 fluid colorants in tubes most colors are made from one or two tubes of colorant mixed with one of the base paints mixing the colorant into the base paint is so simple a child can do it just press all the colorant from the tubes the mixing takes less time than to stir up ordinary paint because the colorant is stirred in from the top there's no hardened sediment on the bottom of the can the result is a kitchen of breathtaking Beauty and Lasting good taste [Music] but let's look at some other decorating problems you're tired of a room and you'd like to redo it but you need a color scheme color Harmony plan that will help you select the right draperies and floor covering the right Fabrics wallpaper and paint back at your colorizer paint store you will find what you're looking for at the front of the new colorizer album is a remarkable new color Harmony selector it shows 12 Hues in a circle or every other one of the 24 color spreads in the album in each Hue or sector there is a light color a medium grayer color and a brilliant color in each sector the size of the color chip is a guide to the amount of each color that is desirable to use in a room light colors or soft grayed colors may be used on large areas brilliant colors should be used in smaller amounts as accents [Music] three sets of openings exposed three Hues equidistant around the color wheel [Music] the colors in one opening are in harmony with the colors and the other two openings and may be used in a room together however all the colors should not be used in one room and not all of them should be paint colors you might select your carpeting to match the grayed green color fabric for draperies could be selected to harmonize with a pastel yellow at the top of the sector with occasional accents of fabric to match the bright yellow paint for the walls could match the mid-tone green thus you would have a color scheme of charm and Beauty with balance and good taste every color on the color Harmony selector has a number from the album many variations of these colors may be found by turning to the same number in the album all the colors surrounding the number will harmonize because they are tints Shades or tones of the same hue [Music] thus the range of color choices from the color Harmony selector is almost infinite in room decoration there are three basic harmonies in general use one color Harmony called monochromatic where different values and chromas of the same Hue are used related color Harmony where neighboring colors are used from adjacent sectors of the color wheel and contrasting color Harmony where colors are used from opposite sectors of the color wheel most people begin planning a color Harmony around something they already own or plan to buy let's assume you have selected a drapery fabric let's try creating a monochromatic color scheme designed to enhance the drapery material first you turn the plastic disc to the sector which harmonizes with the drapery colors the color Harmony selector locates the monochromatic family of colors in which the fabric belongs the number of the color family is six so turn to the number six spread of colors in the album [Music] because walls are the largest area in a room let's find a pleasing wall color first [Music] here's one that brings out the Lively Golden Tones of the fabric but is soft enough to be used in large wall areas [Music] with the drapery and the wall color selected choose your carpeting in a pleasing soft neutral shade of the same color family while upholstery Fabrics can pick up some of the deeper and more brilliant tones of the drapery thus a refreshingly beautiful room can be created using a monochromatic color scheme now let's try a related color scheme designed around another drapery fabric you selected a cool refreshing Fabric in blues and greens for a bedroom many people don't realize that blues and greens can be used together but using the color Harmony selector and choosing appropriate shades of each color an unusually pleasing Harmony can be achieved hold the green color of the fabric next to the sector that matches it in hue then turn the disc through the related color sectors to the one that matches the Blues in the material from the colors in any of these four adjacent sectors we can build a pleasing related color Harmony now let's choose a nice blue for the walls the color family that matches the drapery blue is number 19. so turn to the number 19 spread in the album here's a crisp clear blue that harmonizes with the flowers and forms a pleasing contrast with a white background select upholstery fabrics and bed spreads and other Shades of Greens and blues within the range of the four related color sectors a rug in a deeper tone of blue to harmonize with the wall ties the whole scheme together now let's see how beautiful they all look together the wall color drapery and carpeting harmonize perfectly the upholstery Fabrics complete the color scheme thus is created a delightful livable bedroom in related color Harmony [Music] oftentimes we like to keep our carpeting or draperies sometimes a couch or chair is in excellent condition and it would be extravagant to replace it [Music] such cases build a color scheme around what you wish to keep use the color Harmony selector to find the color family in which your Furnishings belong then use the other open sectors to find colors that harmonize [Music] then use the album to extend your color range thank you so you are well on your way to an exciting color scheme and a successful redecoration a lovely livable room delightfully new using your same cherished furnishings foreign lovely homes and simple dwellings throughout the length and breadth of the land colorizer is bringing color order out

Wonders of the World of Color the harp string of beauty [Music] thank you Dave thanks for coming how's charcoal we don't know yet the doctor is optimistic he hasn't come to yet he's an x-ray now let's go [Music] oh I'm sorry Mr Lana it isn't quite time for visiting only members of the immediate family we want to administer to my boy oh oh is this your Bishop no man this is my home teacher go ahead go ahead thank you [Music] I'm so sorry Mr Lannon it'll be a few minutes please wait in the waiting room I'll call you but may I come with you well all right [Music] Dave before we go in I I want you to know that in these past few months you've become almost well like part of the family when my boy was hurt I thought of you almost the same time I thought of the doctor I have a better active Dave you have but if anyone could ask the Lord for a favor I figure you can and we sure do anything [Music] help me to help this family and this boy Jocko and oh Father how grateful I am for the help thou has given in the past I was such a reluctant servant that day I was asked to be a home teacher we need men like you Dave to make it work in our Ward we're calling you to serve as a representative of the bishop and Quorum leaders to five families to help these families better understand and enjoy the gospel but you're my oldest president how come you're calling me and not the bishop well you see Dave in this program you'll represent every organization in the ward and the priesthood quorums are the backbone of it and furthermore the heads of your five families are members of our quorum well shouldn't be any rougher than Ward teaching and I've done that this is Ward teaching as it was always meant to be Dave but it's more of a family centered than before what do you mean let's take the lanterns they'll be one of your families you know Rita Lannon that's quiet nice looking woman that always sits alone yes that's the one well she attends her meetings faithfully and lives the gospel to the best of her ability Dave she's having a struggle what do you mean by that it's her husband John he's a builder I think you know him well take a look there how's that for a row of blanks although he's an elder of long-standing this man has never set foot in the chapel let alone come to any quora meetings it's at least not since I've been in this Ward and he's never been very receptive to Quorum visits either and worst of all I'm afraid the children are drifting his way they're already confused by the disunity in family thinking I remember one of them Ted he was in my Sunday school class when he was a deacon I seldom see him out anymore he seldom comes Linda she's about 15. he's pretty loyal to her mother so far but just last week she left Sunday school early to go joyriding with a boyfriend Jocko the youngest they'll have a time with him I'm afraid I've heard about Jocko he's the terror of my wife's primary class that's him well you see Dave a family like this offers many challenges but that's the basis for the home teaching program every member of each family that you visit will be a challenge to you and your job will be to give to each of them a personal challenge to attend their meetings to embark on genealogy work or to prepare themselves to go through the temple man this sounds like a job for a genius Carl I'm just not in that class why call me because you have a strong testimony Dave and when you accept a job you always follow it through oh yes but Dave the church has invested a lot of time and prayerful thought in this program you'll receive the proper training and you'll be provided with the proper tools and we think we've asked the proper man I don't know Carl [Music] hello honey hi dear yep what did Carl want well he wants me to serve in this new home teaching program what's that it's like word teaching only it covers a lot more territory and I don't know Mary foreign 's pretty big I've never known you to turn down anything yet big or little yeah but it's a lot harder saying no to the bishop I see and Carl's just a good friend and neighbor and president of your forum oh he's all that but I don't have to accept this job do I I mean it's not like a call from the bishop no no you don't have to do anything in our church how is it you're always right enough space [Music] hello Jocko we'll be late I don't want to go to Statler meeting I went to Sunday speaking of the lanterns there they are now so that's the family don't say he'll come oh Linda now look what you've done well it serves you right are you forcing the kid Rita you can make a mule cross the bridge if you don't want to all right Linda come on I guess it's just you and me we'll be back for you later I don't know this is the family I'm supposed to get to church and eventually back to the temple you're way ahead of yourself what do you mean one step at a time get acquainted with them first have you talked to the bishop about your call no that's what I'm going to see him about after the meeting if I'm late you go on home I'll walk okay you know I've never turned you down Bishop a call from you well that has weight behind it but Carl Barber asked me to do this and I don't know we go bowling together Bishop is it the same as a call from you Dave Carl Barber is the president of your Quorum of Elders he carries the authority of the priesthood and you remember what the Lord said they who receive this priesthood receive me Carl called you to this job only after Consulting the bishopric and receiving our approval this sounds like a pretty important assignment Bishop it is important as a home teacher you won't be dealing only with Statistics or messages or quotas you'll be dealing with families with people who have individual problems you'll be sort of a personal Bishop to each one of them you'll help develop individual testimonies which will make each family unit stronger I'm still not sure I'm qualified for this job Bishop I've been Ward teaching for years and in all that time I doubt that I've helped build anyone's testimony it's either there or it isn't and nothing I can do is going to change it come here Dave look out there [Music] those are our wart members out there good people every one of them and the lord loves them some of them break the Sabbath if you take his name in vain but all of us need strengthening in one way or another Jesus said follow me and each of us will be judged by the way we follow don't you think that bringing you teachings of the Savior into those lives out there will enrich them and you Dave who's to say that your word teaching didn't do more to change people than you ever dreamed no but I came here to bet on Speedy girl that's what I want to do and Dennis okay

comes on every Wednesday make a note of that will you Marty Marty well we just want to make sure we don't come over on those nights Now That's mighty thoughtful of you I bowl on Mondays we'll make a note of that I suppose you have a message for us nothing special tonight we came mostly to get acquainted that's good I'm about up there hearing messages well maybe you have a message for us huh we don't want to waste your time or hours we've come here on behalf of the bishopric in your Quorum president to share the gospel with you the award isn't complete without you brother Landon we need you and your family we're hoping to serve you if you'll let us know how is there any way we can help you well now Mr Benford we appreciate your calling on us but as you can see we're we're hardly in want well every family has its problems and the gospel has answers to those problems maybe you think this family's problem is me and maybe it is but we've had War teachers here before I recognize that look on your face you're not the first do-gooder that's tried to bring me into the fold no Benford I don't think the church will fall apart without me that's true but in the eyes of the Lord every member is important and oh hi hi Marty hi Chad sorry I gotta run where are you going Ted got a date I'll be home early but can't you sit down just for a moment oh gee Mom I'm on light now all right if I take your car Dad sure just bring it back in one piece thanks we'll see ya have a good time Ted bye Ted well I think we better leave two surely is nice to visit with you folks good to see you brother London it sure is a beautiful stereo cabinet thank you John built it and we're very proud of him well you should be now I know why your work is in such demand yeah Ted put most the stereo equipment together it came in a kit he's yeah don't let him kid you there were more parts and fleas in the dog's back how about you Jocko did you have a hand in it no y'all goes a history nut he can't spell bull run but he sure can't tell you where it went all my kids are smart they'll all amount to something not like their old man just a stupid Carpenter you can be proud of your profession brother Lennon the Savior was a carpenter [Music] thank you thank you [Music] I thought I heard you prowling around down here what's the matter I couldn't sleep that's obvious any special reason oh it's sad family can't get them off my mind what family here the lanterns the others the dogs the rest are all active they're no trouble it's easy to help them with their problems hello Mary I took this job thinking I'll do the best I can and let each family do the rest that makes sense but this family without active priesthood without leadership they can't do much of anything so I have to do more than my best I don't know it's hard to explain but I won I want them to have what we have warmth a Oneness security and Spirit of the Gospel I never dreamed I'd feel this responsibility for them it's [Music] wonderful [Music] are you recall that Paul in talking to the Corinthians gave us the true concept of the love of Christ he spoke in First Corinthians chapter 13 this way though I speak with the tongue of men and of angels and have not charity I am become a sounding brass or a tinkling symbol and though I have the gift of Prophecy and understand all Mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all Faith so that I could remove foreign thank you you know Jocko I believe major Reno took his men and attacked the Village from this direction never argue history with this kid Dave you can't win you know I think he's right [Music] foreign [Music] ERS respond to me as a friend but except for Rita and Linda more recently jackal Marty and I can't make any Headway where the church is concerned the minute the conversation turns to religion Ted remember some homework he has to do and John clams up okay honey come on don't bump into Steve he's slowing down I'll catch your brother now hang on away we go oh uh our other family is just a weaker but in the land at home I don't feel we've done any more than get our foot in the door well I happen to know Dave that you've made more progress with John Lennon in the past few months than the rest of us have ever made you've made an effort to discover his interests and share them really isn't difficult when you are interested Carl how an asset makes you such a good home teacher Dave well where do we go from here you go back to them this week and next week next month and 10 years from now if you have to I Don't Know Carl it's pretty discouraging yeah not to remind us all what Christmas really means all right Dave don't spoil it spoil it turn it into a lecture I don't want to spend the rest of the evening and hearing about angels and dispensations this is the season to be Charlie yeah but even Jolly when you remember what it means I'll go put some corn on the top [Music] there really was a star juggle [Music] bye one of these Sundays you're gonna Park this car John join us it's not such a long walk to the front door I can't hardly come looking like this Dave better like that than not at all maybe tealonia is Razor or maybe Turtle join us too oh I came to church last Sunday dad's got a girlfriend trying to reform him and all girl's ever gonna reform me mom never reformed you [Music] so long babe see you later [Music] hey Matt [Applause] [Music] that's what I like about that sauce sounds good when you turn it off instead was telling me about this project had to come over and see if you were doing the job right yeah don't lean too heavy against the walls the whole shebang might collapses yeah I'll bet say what are you gonna do with all this crap Lumber burn it one time I sure do I could use it in my fireplace save it for me and I'll pick it up in my truck man this is going to be a nice looking snack bar there'll be stools along here that's the best way in the world to feed your kids in a hurry don't tell my wife about it though she'll want one I should take a couple weeks off and build her some cabinets why don't you Reed is a swell girl yeah she's a good wife she has to be to put up with me you two were married in the temple weren't you is that what you come to talk about frankly yes yes we was married in the temple I wasn't very enthused about it my folks hadn't been active I wanted to marry Rita so much I managed to live within the rules long enough to get a recommend after the wedding I tried for a while to keep the word of wisdom went to the meetings for her sake was just easier my way are you happy living your way sure I like my work got a good wife and three wonderful kids but you're not really satisfied are you oh I don't know sometimes I wonder you wonder what you're missing don't you ever wonder what you're missing Dave Sunday morning in bed and a can of beer now if that's what I'm missing I don't care because what I'm getting in return is well worth the small investment an hour against eternity and in your case five eternities John how do you figure Rita Ted no okay okay you've done your preaching for today for the day job what would you say if I asked you not to come back don't forget to pick up your scrap lover Dave okay John we'll see you around and I thought my reward would come into heaven but director John Lennon how did things go at primary today very well actually I don't know what's come over Jocko lately all of a sudden he can quote the New Testament backwards and forwards you should see the maps he brought to primary the Holy Land all marked with places Jesus visited made him himself maybe I can account for part of that he was complaining about the lesson lessons he called him I just pointed out that the Life of Christ is the life of a Great Hero and as much a part of history as the Battle of Gettysburg or Washington Crossing the Delaware really when shooting out of the room when I went to look for him to say goodbye I found him curled up on his bed the Bible in one hand in the atlas in the other you've got a mind like a sponge and when he's thirsty for a subject watch out it's amazing what you've done with that boy well he's still squirming exuberant as ever but he's part of the class now he comes because he wants to not because someone insists if I could just reach John I know I could reach Ted he models his life after his father like any boy I think you've reached him already only he's not about to admit it I'll get it hello oh yes I'll call him it's John Lennon I'm like he's upset yes John oh I'm sorry well yes of course I'll be right there John what is it oh it's Jocko he's been heard badly in a sledding accident John wants me to administer to him [Music] Dave the first night you came to see us I told you we didn't need anything how wrong I was it's not just the accident not just joking but little by little I've begun to realize how badly a need we've been as a family I'm a proud man Dave and I've let my Independence stand between me and my Father in heaven but one night after you left I asked myself what does he get out of all this personally and I couldn't think of a single thing even after I'd been rude to you you and Marty kept coming back [Music] I decided it wasn't it wasn't what little Glory might come into the church would bring but but you were really interested in us Dave I don't know if I could fight it or not [Music] but I want what you've got I want it do you understand me I understand John this has been a two-way street I became your home teacher reluctantly [Music] I doubted we could do anything to change your way of thinking but we wanted to share with you the joys of living the gospel and understanding the teachings of the savior before we knew it you and your family became so important to us that you were never far from our thoughts or our prayers [Music] the past few months you've given me so much John and now to hear you speak your heart like this has been the most rewarding experience of my life you may come in now thank you
