PIT. A. Elects.

At the Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton meeting in the schoolhouse We'd
nesday evening of last week, several
members of the junior high school
presented a puppet show which was
enjoyed by the fair sized audience
The facilities and conditions for pre-
senting any entertainment in the
school building is indeed inadequate
The few parents who are sufficiently
interested in their children's educa-
tional welfare to attend PIT. A.
meetings and who saw the equipment
available last Wednesday will readily
agree that better conditions are
needed.
The election of officers was a
scheduled annual event at this meet
ing and resulted in the reelection of
Mrs. John Meier as president; the
secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Svend
Petersen and VIM. Coombe, respec-
lively, refused reelection. To take
their places George l. Glenn was
elected secretary and Mrs. Martin o.
Andersen, treasurer. The superin-
tendent, Otto G. Hoiberg, automati-
cally serves as vice president.
After the audience had indicated
a choice of programs from a list on
the blackboard, Svend Petersen gave
a 10-minute talk on the history and
present advantages of air mail.
The audience then adjourned to
the assembly room in the basement
to view the exhibits from the var
ious grades, which as usual were
both good and interesting. The eve
ming then terminated with refresh
mentS.

According to Martin Dietz, who
is in charge of concessions for the
Askov Fair in August, concession
requests are not coming in very fast
He therefore urges all organizations
or groups to either contact him or
leave their requests at the Askov
American office as soon as possible,
so that the Fair board will have some
kind of information as to the num-
Der that will be required.
