perhaps none so hearty as the one

her worst enemy" Mrs. Brown was
on the job every minute from the
time she started gossip until she
served refreshments. Forfeits were
in order for nearly every game which
caused much merrimcnt among the
crowd. One outstanding feature of
the evening were the latest dance
steps by Mrs. Blanche Pearce and
Mr.. Carroll Gray. The way they put
II over was q wonder to their aud
fence. Coach Norman Gray was at
the piano for this number. After q
good old fashioned sing and a short
radio concert refreshments were
served which consisted of coffee and
sandwiches of every variety. fruit
pudding and saltines, nuts, and
candy. This sure was an evening
never to be forgotten by the cast of
VALLEY Farm" Those present were

Appeal for Parent
Teacher Association

A prominent Gardiner woman asks
that tie Journal publish the follow
ing:
The Parent Teacher Association.
What is it? A Parent Teacher AS
ISOLATION is an organization of par
. ents. teachers, and others interested
for the. purpose of studying the prob
lens Of the child, the home, the
school, and the relation of each to
the community, the state and the ma
ton.
Why we need a Parent Teacher
Associa ton. The children of the
country spend six hours day in
school for two hundred days q year.
Parents need to know more about the
schools, its teachers, it's equipment,
and its facilities. Parents need to
know what school teachers, the
school doctor. the school nurse and
the school dentist are doing for their
children. Teachers need to know the
parents personally in order to under
stand and help the children. Teach
ers want the help of parents in unit
ing on general policies, in regard to
such matters as dress, chaperonage
of school social affairs, and regular
hours for home study. School i'm
provements are more easily secured
wnen the support or the parents is
obtained. Programs are selected deal
ing entirely with child welfare,
through such topics as child health,
diet, cleanliness. recreation and ply
steal welfare. The Parent Teacher
Association Of Gardiner holds meet
ings the second Thursday in each
month. beginning in October, and
continuing through May. The dues
are twenty-five cents per member,
ten cents of the amount paid is for
the State and National organiza-
tions.
Any person in the community who
Is interested in child welfare may
become a member of the Associa ton, =,
by paying the dues of twenty-five
cents. and having their name record
ed by the Secretary. On Thursday
evening, March Is. at eight O'Clock.

Association will be held in the High
School auditorium. President CIar-
ence c. Little of the University Of
Maine will be the speaker of the
evening. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all those who are inter-
