Milford PTA Met
Last Wednesday

The Milford P. T. A. held it's
January meeting in the new cafe
terra of the high school on We'd
nesday evening, January IL.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lank, principal of
the SeafOrd Elementary School, was
the speaker of the evening. Mrs.
Lank spoke on New Trends in the
Elementary School. Since this was
a rather wide field, she limited her
field to social studies.
In her discourse she brought out
the fact that we must teach chill
dren at their own level and at their
rate of learning. She spoke of the
value of democratic processes in
class room procedure and of it's
value to the child. In connection
with this, she brought in the mental
hygiene aspect of child develop
ment and told of the increasing in
fiuence that science is exerting in
our schools. She made one point
which has been presented to the
group many times before regarding
reading readiness, the fact that all
children do not start reading at
the same time nor keep together as
they progress. Mrs. Lank empha-
sized the fact that social studies
not only contributed to the read
ing readiness program, but widen
ed the child's horizons.
Many people have mentioned that
they enjoyed the meeting. Perhaps
1t will be possible to have Mrs.
Lank return again.

minutes, covering many of the
national issues, and winding up
with her own fracas with Mr..
Nixon. This is merely a sample
of what goes on all day long. and
sometimes far into the night, as
she goes about the State.
A trained actress. Mrs. Douglas
knows how to use her voice. Be
fore she concludes her speech she
has brought her audience up to
enthusiasm. She's crusader.
Admittedly she is concerned
about the kind of campaign which
the Republicans are using against
her, concentrated on making it
appear she is sympathetic to the
Communists and fellow travellers.
The whispering campaign is in
tense, and has gone so far as to
declare that Melvyn Douglas, her
husband, is card-carrying Com

Campaign of Fear.
The campaign of fear-fear of
being identified with any one or
any organization that has even
been mentioned as being pink
has spred like wildfire in this
State. 1t is doing a job in Holly
wood itself. where Mrs. Douglas
lives. Even some of her old
friends have refused to show up at
her parties.
The thing has gone so far. how
ever, that it has brought reaction
"a reaction of indignation that
Mrs. Douglas, who has been a
great worker for improvement of
conditions of the poor, particularly
the itinerant workers, before she
ever got into politics, should be so
smeared.
The latest wrinkle in the Doug
las campaign is a comic strip
pamphlet, showing how Mrs. Doug
las stands on the problems of the
country, both foreign and domes-
tic, and the stand which has been
taken by Nixon. Naturally, it is
all to the advantage of Mrs. Doug
las.
Given Even Chance.
AS things stand today, three
weeks before the election, Mrs.
Douglas is given at least an even
chance of winning against Mr..
Nixon. The so-called California
poll, gives Mr.. Nixon the edge,
but points out it could be wrong.
Her supporters claim that her
campaign is now on the upgrade.
Mrs. Douglas says she plans to
attend the San Francisco meet
ing next Tuesday at which Presi-
dent Truman will make his re-
port on his Pacific meeting with
Gen. Macarthur. She is still hop
ing for q personal Endorsement
by the President, as is James
