The objects of the P.-T.A. are to promote the wei fare of children and youth in the home, school, church and com munity; to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth; to bring a closer relationship between the home and the school; to raise the standards of home life and to de Velop between educators and the general public such united eff forts as will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.

words-be prepared.

Many Sewardites laugh at Civil Defense. They remember the war years when the town was under m military control. They remember the severa alerts-an unidentified plane, a submarine in the bay and other sudden alarms. These were only alarms, scares-but nothing hap pened. What is easily forgotten is the sudden tightening of sto- mach muscles, fast beating heart, and short breath of fear that m u st have occurred to every mothers son living here at the moment of those alarms.
 The Military has warned us more than once that Seward will be an undefended town. No concentration of troops or equip ment is contemplated. We know very well that a single we'll placed bomb could knock out an important source of supply for the Interior. This is no Se cret. Strangely enough, many people regard this knowledge as reason for safety Do they for get that in placing that single bomb, others would fall on the town doing immeasurable dam age and loss of life?
 WE CAN PREPARE to allevi- ate suffering; feed, clothe and shelter our women, children and old. We can prepare to fight fire, infection and cold. Every body buys insurance that is sell dom used. Why not insure our selves now at the cost of only little time for learning what to do, when and how?
 When the call goes out in the near future for volunteers, get ready to volunteer for the work you are best suited to do.

Way off wonder, growing quite bold Me in my highchair, four years Four years old, and not a day older, Way off wonder and growing bolder. Little bit closer, wee small lass, Twelve years old and bold as brass. Bold as brass, wise little chit, Thought that I was very much it. Coming on up, little more wise, Bit more dreaming in sixteen's eyes. Not so much of little pest, Sweet sixteen with a thrilling breast. Almost there at the top of the hill, Eighteen's eyes are strangely still. Still, yet troubled, wondering why, Afraid that life will pass her by. There at last, and calm in peace. Thirtys heart has found release. Top of the mountain, starting down To the peaceful valley and the quiet town.
