PTA PLANS FOR YEAR
About 45 "ersons, including the teachers,
attended the first meeting of the Palmer
PTA on Tuesday evening of this week.
A number of important matters were brought
up for discussion during the evening' by
the President, Mrs. Charles Schaefer.
r s. Schaefer reported that $40.00 worth o:
books had been ordered for the school with
the book fund which was set aside last
year- for that purpose. A sum of $13,45
was temporarily returned to the general
fund to be used later for a picture for
the school if so desired. It was decided
that this amount was rather small for
the typo and size of picture that'the As
sociation would like to buy, "Mr.Snelling
reported that Mrs. Rusty Dow; wad painting
two murals fbr the school halls, and in
addition to that pictures of the graduat
ing classes were to be used on the lower
halls.
There was much discussion in regard to a
fund which had been set aside for the pur
rose of helping rejuvenate the Scout
Puilding. The PTA has about' §130*00 vhich
can be used for this purpose. It was the
opinion of the group that a full basement
was not necessary as Rev. ALfsen explained
that it was impractical to attempt to' fix
the building up for year round use. It
ccr.ld be used largely in the summer ft"
a recreation center and a place where terv
S-otrt Crafts could be carried cut. The
year round use of the building as a reg
ular meeting place entailed too'much ex
pense even after its completion, he ex
plained. Tho PTA is ready to help out
with work on the building in the Amount
of $130.00. Other organisations have albc
indicated their support, it was reported.
The question of matching $250.00 from the
Territory to be used in School equipment
came up for discussion. As this money is
not reouired to be raised immediately it
was decided that the President should ap
. cint a committee to go over plans for
raising money.
The Palmer.Association voted to join the '
National Congress of Parent-Teachers As
sociations. As reported by several of
tho teachers and the Superintendent there
is a great deal of advantage in allying
tr th the Nat ional Assoc iation.
The PTA v;ent on record as favoring the
establishment of a Community Chest Rind.
Since there has been in the past so much
demand for donations for so many dif
ferent purposes, the PTA- voted in favor
of one general agency to handle the funds
This question has come up before other
organizations in the Community -and has
had favorable support.
