Several years before, on President Heber J. Grant's eighty-second birthday, he had been given a large beehive containing a chest made of Utah copper. Inside were 1,000 silver dollars made from Utah silver. President Grant asked that the money be used toward building a new Primary Children's Hospital. He did not live long enough to see this accomplished, but the Primary General Board carried out his wish. They had each silver dollar made into a paperweight. Anyone who donated $100 to the hospital fund would be given one of these paperweights as a souvenir. The Primary children of Morgan, under direction of their officers and teachers, went to work. They sponsored parades, bazaars, and the like to earn their $100. When they received the paperweight, I because of their love and respect for President Clarence Rich, they presented it to him. The presentation was made at theunionmeetingon21 February 1951. Sister Betty Mecham, a ward Primary president, gave the paperweight to the stake president on behalf of all the children in Morgan. Sister Catherine Tucker, ofthe stake Primary board, spoke on the spirit of giving. Following are some excerpts from her talk: In the life of our Savior, no service was more touching or more important than the blessing of little children and the caring for the sickand afflicted. Through our unselfish efforts, we too can help the blind to see and the lame to walk. 175
