Tho regular meeting of the Falmcr
Parent Teachers Association was
held In the Gymnasium on Tuesday
evening, Fob.20th. About fifty
persons were present. Mr. Rogers
led the group in singing several
songs.
A number of business items wore
discussed. Mrs. Clyde King re
ported that since the practice of
opening the library between 7 and
8 P.H. on Friday nights had been
started, only a few books were ch
ecked out. This would indicate
that it was hardly worth while..
However, it appeared that it had
not been very well advertised,
and therefore it was thought best
to continue awhile longer. Per
sons wishing to check out books
may do so on Friday nights before
the show.
Iv'rs. Bell gave a report of the
committee investigating the poss
ibility of furnishing hot lunches
for the school children. It was
thought possible to furnish hot
soups and cocoa for about twenty
five (25(^) per child per month,
provided tho homekakers clubs
would donate the work of preparing
the food. It will be at least a
month before the actual serving
can be started, time being required
to make arrangements and discuss
the project further.
I!rs. Bell also gave a report on
the findings of the dental conmitt»
u ee. Dr. Dorsey had agreed to give
two half days per week for work
on the school children when he w©»
uld recieve pay on an hourly basis.
Another plan suggested was each
family would pay a given amount,
say three dollars (3.00) oer
