An organization that devotes
itself to children and their well
fare reaches senior citizen sta
tus this February, with a sched-
ule full of further projects in
behalf of children for the years
ahead.
The National Congress of Par
ents and Teachers celebrates it's
65th birthday on February II,
the anniversary of the "Nation-
al Congress of Mothers" held in
Washington, d. c., in 1897.
This session marked the be-
ginning of the P.T.A. Its found
ing, by Alice Mcclellan Birney
and Phoebe Apperson Hearst,
will be observed this year by
more than 1880 parent-teacher
associations throughout the us.
and in communities of Ameri-
cans living overseas.
Mrs. Clifford N. jenkins, of
Roslyn Heights, IL, NY, pres
ident of the National Congress,
calls the P.T.A. "a great social
invention"
Like other inventions, she
notes in her Founders Day an
niversary message, sit was Gre
ated out of need-the need of
parents for more knowledge
about children's health, growth,
and development; the need for
child labor laws and juvenile
courts; the need for health and
recreation facilities; the need to
build broad highways of educa-
tional and vocational opportuni-
tess that might be travelled by
all children and youth, not just
the fortunate few"
Historic-minded P.T.A.'s
across the country may mark
the Founders Day observance
with a glance back to the time
of the first Congress. In the
words of one historian for the
National Congress, those were
days "bustling with progress
and growth 80" but with edu-
Gators calling for increased
appropriations to the public
schools, more attention to teach
er training, more practical cur
riculums, and greater consid-
GRAFTON for handicapped chill
dren ..." The time was ripe
for reform = especially for
launching a movement directed
toward the welfare of children"
Young Mrs. Birney and the
philanthropic Mrs. Hearst
spanked what was soon to be-
come a nationwide organization
of which they are memorialized
as Founders.
Since that time, P.T.A.'s have
continually directed their efforts
toward:
Establishing and supporting
public kindergartens;
Pioneering hot school lunch
programs and supporting ade-
quate appropriations for them;
Conducting parent-educatior
workshops in all parts of the
nation;
Sponsoring safety Legislation

Brand Owners Must
Register By June

Starting next month, no
tees will be mailed to all
owners of brands registered
with the Livestock Theft Blu
reau of the Mississippi High
way Safety Patrol. Tie no
tees will inform the owners
that June 80, is the date of
expiration of their brands
registration. Each brand must
then be re-recorded for the
period 1962-1967.
Brand Supervisor B. F.
Rodgers of the Livestock
Theft Bureau office may be
contacted for further details
on the registration or re-
recording. No brand may be
used unless it is registered
with the Department of Pub
lie Safety. 1t is unlawful to
use an unregistered brand -
someone else may have re-
corded the same brand for
their own use.
The fee for recording a
brand is only $500 1.-TWO dol
'ars) for a five-year period.
In view of the statistics it is
the cheapest cattle theft in
surance available. Statistics
Cor past years show that IS
rer cent of all stolen cattle
are unbranded. A brand on
cattle is like a tag or a car
it can be. traced easily.
However, unlike an automo-
bill tag, a brand cannot be
removed. Cattle thieves steer
clear of branded cattle be-
cause they are toe easy to
t-'ace.

FARMING TODAY

ON UPWARD E

Mississippi farm income is
on an upward trend since
1857. A severe setback due
partially to soil banking cot

mas just about been corrected
Mississippi farmers through
wise use of lard, lGfor, ma
chjnery, chemicals and CAPT
tal are turning to more &C.
onomical production of all
forms of crops and livestock.
In 1861, cotton lint and
seed brought $3C7 million,
rearly one-half Of the total
farm income, and from only
one-fifth of the land.
Livestock and livestock
products brought about $271
million. The total farm gross

The main thing IS for your

Failure to do this soon leads

Mississippi farmers failed to
pant in 1861 was a loss of

your fellow farmers and
friends, think seriously about
