At the monthly priesthood meeting on 29 October 1919, President Heiner listed seven areas of suggested improvement for the Saints. They included: 1. Thursday evenings should be set aside as home night. 2. The children should be encouraged to read church magazines. 3. There should be no more card playing. 4. Say a hearty amen at the close of a speech if you endorse it. 5. See that all outsiders (non-members) in your wards are visited. 6. See that men holding the priesthood refrain from improper vulgar references. 7. Try to put down the cigarette habit.79 Another example of the stake's efforts to improve itself was the Betterment Convention held 16 November 1919. An organization had been formed which included a member from the stake presidency, one from the county commission, and a member from the school board. It also included the school superintendent and members of the stake Mutual and Sunday School boards. The committee met and drew up a list of resolutions. These resolutions were then presented by President Heiner at the Betterment Convention.
