Evening star., 1940-12-01

Upward OF 5,O00 caildTen were
supplied last year with wearable
clothing. There Is nothing so far
to indicate that the number will be
lcssened this year, While many 0f
the garments have already seen
considerable wear before being dis
tributed to the children, they are
all reconditioned and in many in
stances remodeled before being given
out.
Every Wednesday during the school
year women from the various local
parent-teacher units meet at the stu
dent aid headquarters in the Gales
School, First street and Massachu-
setts avenue NV, where they spend
the day mending stockings, repair
ing clothing, designing dresses in
which small pieces of material may
be utilized, and in various ways
demonstrating their ingenuity.
These women, with Mrs. Lawrence
Brooks, chairman, as their director,
assisted by Mrs. Warren Bowles,
personally supervise the fitting of
shoes and the selection of clothing,
SO that when the applicant is ready
to return to his or her school, he or
she goes out with clothing sufhcient
for some time.
Every local parent-teacher unit
participates in this work, either by
gifts of money or of used clothing
or both-and by furnishing workers
who keep the sewing machines busy
and the clothing racks In order.
There is no pay for any Of this;
nothing save the knowledge OF hav-
ing done a worthwhile job and hav-
ing added to the furthering OF the
objectives of the organization.
No one is barred from partici-
patton. All who are interested IN
the welfare of children, be they men,
women, boys or girls; be they par
ents, teachers, or neither-are well
come. I am sure that Mrs. Brooks
and her committee will be glad to
welcome any one who might care
TO view at first hand the work being
| done
II you would like to see how it
is actually handled, drop into the
rooms some Wednesday between
$50 and 8 o'clock. I am sure that
you will be impressed with the
earnestness Of our women-and as
tonished at the amount OF work
they do.
The District of Columbia Congress
of Parents and Teachers has been
invited to participate in the testi-
monial dinner to be given for Dr..
Frank w. Ballou at the Maynower
Hotel December IA at Z pm. 1t Is

ice to the washington schools.
Local parent-teacher units are
planning to send = number Of guests
and 1t is expected that the evening
will be an unusual one, both from
entertainment features and from
the genuineness of the celebration.
The congress Is mourning the
death OF q beloved former president,
Mrs. Joseph N. Saunders, whose
death occurred very unexpectedly.
Mrs. Saunders was for many years
even up to the time of her demise
a Inactive, interested parent-teacher
person, and in addition to being
president of the congress occupied
ct other times the positions Of sec
retary and first vice president. She
was also past president OF the
