They’ll Knock
On Igloo Doors
In Newest State
equally well in this dynamic new
state, Mrs. Parker pointed out, as
in its member organizations
throughout the continental United
States, in Hawaii and on Amer-
ican military bases in Europe.
“For the primary purpose of
the P.T.A.,” she explained, “is to
safeguard children, to build for
the future in such a way that in
every community the lights of
home may always shine out.”
In designating October as the
period for membership enroll-
ment, she called upon “every
parent-teacher member to knock
once more on the door, and at the
heart, of every American, so that
all of us, working together, may
make America the best possible
home for all our children.”
James C. Parker, of
S/Sgt. and Mi's. Basil Sifford
and daughters, Deborah and Con-
Mr. and Mrs. James
Browning have returned to
home in New York City
having visited his mother, Mrs.
Henry Box and Mr. Box.
When more than eleven mil-
lion P.T.A. members open their
annual Membership Enrollment
month this October, they will be
urged to “knock on every door”
to find new members interested
in advancing the welfare of
children.
Some of those doors may open
to the oldest dwellings in the
Western hemisphere—stone ig-
loo homes in Alaska, scheduled
soon to become the nation’s 49th
state.
Here, as throughout the U.S.,
- the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers will seek to add
some half-million new “parents,
teachers or friends of children”
to what is already the nation’s
largest voluntary service organ-
ization.
Mrs.
Grand Rapids, Mich., president
of the National Congress, cites
“the dynamic potential of Alas-
ka, our newest state,” as “com-
parable to the spirit which has
enabled Parent-Teacher associa-
tions to contribute so much to
the welfare of children.”
The variety and scope of P.T.A.
activities in the 61-year history of
the National Congress are re-
flected today, Mrs. Parker noted,
in the everyday life of Alaskans
which ranges in spirit from the
quite sophisticated to the “truly
frontier.”
Alaska’s Congress of Parents
and Teachers, which became part
of the national organization in
1957, today faces problems which
can be compared, Mrs. Parker
pointed out, with those recorded
over the years in tiny American
communities or in its largest ci-
ties. For it is a land where . . .
