Founders Day is Observed BY
Parent Teacher Associations

One Of the most successful OBJ
servances OF Founders Day
ever to be held by the Parent
Teacher associations of Pasca-
goula took place Thursday eve
ming at the South Elementary
school.
There was a large crowd in at
tendance, a number of guests be-
ing from parent-teacher associa-
tions of Wade, Moss Point, Esca-
tawpa and Kreole, and all of the
teachers from the six schools of
the city.
A slight change was made in
the program owing to the neces-
sity for filling in the period of
waiting for the guest speaker
who had missed connections at
Gulfport, but all of the numbers
were given.
The invocation was said by the
Rev. Arthur Schneider, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, and
a short address of welcome was
given by Mrs. Bernard G. Walker,
president of the Pascagoula P-TA
council, a body consisting Of rep
resentatives from the four ele-
mentary and the junior high
scholls.
Thomas r. Wells, superintend-
ent of the Pascagoula schools,
then spoke briefly after which the
children of the Lake school gave
an action song, Heel and To.",
and Braham's Lullaby" was sung
by a group from Central school.
Beach school was represented by
children who gave a skit in the
form of a quiz regarding the P
IA. A song vas given by girls of
the Junior high school.
Following this all presidents
and past presidents of the P-TA's
of the city were asked to stand
and be recognized.
Mrs. Foster Carson then intro
duced Mrs. L. w. Aston of Hat
tiesburg, who is president of the
Mississippi Congress of Parent
Teacher associations, who gave a
fine talk on the founding of the
P-TA and its detectives.
AT the close of the program the
guests were invited to the cafe
terra which was beautifully dec
Grated with ivy, camellias and
japonicas arranged down the e
ter Of the long table which held
a highly ornate birthday cake in
white and green, surrounded with
white candles.
Committees from the different
P-TA's headed by Mrs. Joe Ben
nett served cake with coffee and
cookies.
A nice sum was derived through
contributions which had been in
serted in the slot of a pasteboard
cake, and this will be for the use
of the council.

Seek Descendants
Of Reb Wore To
Cluim $1,000 Estute

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. "a - De-
scendants of Reb Ware and his
wife, Emma, whose maiden name
wa Webb. or children or grand
children of the couples brothers
and sisters, are being sought in
Mississippi to claim an estate of
about $1,000 left by a relative of
whom the heirs obviously never
heard, or have long forgotten.
This became known here today
when Walter C. Cox, probate
genealogist, 208 S. LaSalle ST.,
Chicago, who specializes in trac-
ing missing relatives to settle es-
tates, took over the hunt with no
clues as to in what part of the
state the relatives may be living.
"Reb Ware and Emma Webb
are known, however" MI. Cox
said, Ito have married in Missis-
sippi, presumably in the locality
in which their families lived, in
about 1870. and remained there
for a time afterward.
"Since the estate was left by q
descendant who died without is
sue, the children or grandchildren
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ware would have
first claim to it. Should there be
no such descendants, then the
descendants of the couples broth.
ers and sisters would succeed tc
claim, if they can be found. and

can forces.
The Philippines, he explained,
suffered probably the worst dew
astation Of any one country in
the recent world conflict. It wal
the victim of two invasions, the
first by the Japanese forces and
then when the American forces
invaded to retake the country.
During the period between inva-
sions the country and its resoure-
es were devastated by the occu-
pations Of the Japs.
In tracing the history of the
Republic, Mr.. Moreno, said that
the Philippines came under the
trusteeship Of the United States
at the end of the Spanish Amer
lean War. For a period Of as
years the two countries worked
in harmony with the Philippines
patterning their government,
schools, science, culture and pro-
gress upon the example set by
the States. The Philippines be-
came an independent republic on
July 4, 1915 and Elpidio Quirino,
the president Of the Philippines,
has continued the domestic pro-
gram and the pro-U. S. foreign
policy.
The speaker was presented to
the club by the Rev. Walter Ba-
der, chairman Of the Information
al Relations committee.
A. C. Forteza, secretary to the
consul, was also a guest Of the
club. The Rev. Arthur Schneider
was the guest of Mr.. Bader and
visiting Rotarians were Quinn
Gautier, and Chester Lyons of

Millions are actually loosening deli

in the very act of creaming their
skins.
But this old way of skin care is
rapidly being discarded. Well in

care that ends destructive rubbing.
My Lady Esther Purpose Face
Cream is self-acting. No more
need for rubbing at all. Think what
this means! E
When you use my cream that re-
quires no rubbing, you are not
loosening your skin-you are not
deepening fine lines! In short, you
stop helping your skin to grow loose
and older looking. You help to pre-
serve tone, elasticity and smooth
