The Parent Teacher Association
meeting for November has been
postponed because of the Thanks
giving holiday. The next meeting
will be held on December 18th.
Mrs. Emma Sweeting, P. T. A.
president wishes to extend to you
her very best wishes for a joyful
Thanksgiving season.
We were delighted to have so
many patrons present at our
Weekly Assembly on "Wednesday.
1t would be so nice if you could
be present often and especially
when your child appears on pro-
gram. It would make him swell
with pride.
Have the children told you that
each Monday a poll is taken OF
the number who have attended
Sunday School. Won't you see
that your child can be counted on
next Monday.
Mrs. Verne Taylor-Tinker who
substituted for several weeks left
behind many friends. We are de-
lighted to have Miss E. c. Thomas
returned after a prolonged illness.
PERSONAL TO PARENTS
Dear Parents:
This is the Thanksgiving season.
What does it mean to your child?
For many the meaning is only that
of turkey and all the trimmings.
Do you help us instill the spirit
OF thankfulnesS in him. We never
miss the opportunity of reminding
him when he abuses his belong
ingS that you must work hard to
provide those things. ThoughtlesS-
ness is an objectionable sin.
Don't allow things to be taken for
granted,
This Thanksgiving please put
forth extra special effort in get
ting with your child, for you are
certainly thankful for him, and
point out some of the many things

for which he has God, you, and
all who in any way touch his life
to offer thanksgiving.

WHITES CANNOT OWN LAND

Washington --- (ANPb --- one
OF the situations which visitors to
West Africa find interesting Is TO
discover that whites cannot own
land there.
Whites can and do lease and
thereby control land because they
operate the big and many Of the
smaller businesses and have to use
land for that purpose as well as
for their homes.
But Harold Cooper. former Nj
gerian information officer points
out in African News. the monthly

forbade Europeans to acquire land
or own plantations there.
