50 Years Here

The District Congress of Par
ents and Teachers on Tuesday
will open its second SO years Of
work for the improvement of
children's opportunities here.
Tuesday begins a three-day
convention in the Willard Hotel,
celebrating the 50th anniversary
Of the founding of the District
Congress of Mothers, which grew
into the present group.
Some things beside the name
have changed-for example, a
man will be installed as presi-
dent for the first time-but the
aim remains the same, "the bet
terment of all conditions that
surround childhood"
25,181 Members Now
The District Congress Of
Mothers was founded February
81, 1905, in the home of Mrs. A.
A. Birney. 1915 Twenty-second
street NV. Twenty-Five ladies
attended the organizational
meeting. Today, there are 25,181
members at the latest report.
Eight years earlier, the Amer
lean Congress of Mothers had
been formed here under the
leadership of Mrs. Theodore Bir-
ney. The founders of the two
organizations were married to
brothers, both lawyers.
The American Congress caught
on rapidly across the country
after 1000 women had responded
to Mrs. Theodore Birney's call
to convene. The District Con-
gress was one Of the smaller
groups formed from that i'm
petuS.
To give their positions the
weight Of experience. all officers
in the early days were, by GUS
tom. mothers of large families.
Mrs. A. A. Birney had nine chill
dren. Mrs Theodore Birney had
only three" according to Con-
gress Historian Mrs. Andrew G.
Weaver. ST.
Mrs. Hearst Helped
One of the founders of the
national group, and a strong
financial hacker was Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst, mother Of William Ran
dolph Hearst.
AS soon as the local organiza-
ton was organized, it began to
agitate for some of the things
it is still working for. These
included better courts for juve-
niles, child labor laws. better
food and clothing for poor chill
dren.
In 1908, in foreshadowing of
one Of the biggest moves the
Congress has made this year.
Mrs. A. A. Birney was designated
by the national president. Mrs.

Many readers letters contain
complaints about the new earn
ing restrictions effective this
year.
It is true that by including
noncovered wages. salaries and
self-employed profits, some have
had to reduce the amount of
their noncovered earnings or
give up their monthly social
security checks. Still. in the
overall picture. the new ruling is
fairer to all. Furthermore, many
more jobs have been brought
under covered social security.

Once upon a time the kitchen
served as a gathering place foi
the family and the neighhors
In many new homes the kitchen
is a sufficiently cheerful area fol-
small groups. But the ideal loca-
ton for a gathering room is the
basement, which, with a little
ingenuity, paint, lumber and
nails can serve as an extra room
for the family.
Or it can serve as a place
where individual family men,
bers may entertain their friends
there without disturbing others.
It can also provide the perfect
place to display keepsakes, me-
mentoes. treasured photographs
and hobbies.
In planning such a room, it
is a good idea to consider a di-
vision that will permit quiet tele-
vision or reading sessions in one
area and games and dancing in
another. Such a room might
have an arrangement where the
quiet" area has been separated
from the active area by a parti-
ton, plus a See-through room
divider made of vertical lengths
of picture frame molding in
which family portraits can be
artistically arranged.
Backed up to a television wall
may be game cabinets and a
family bulletin board, while on
the opposite side are all the ac-
cessories for quiet family enjoy
Observation-Disclosures filled with
books and magazines. TV set and
painted cabinet filed with rec
ords. a rug to cushion footsteps
an da sconce to shed soft candle
light.
Emphasis in the active area
should be on practically. Paint,
furniture and accessories should
be selected for their ability to
take wear and tear.
Leave the floor uncarpeted for
