Sweetwater Committees Complete
Plans For P-TA Congress Meeting
Sweetwater executive com-
mittees of the parent-teacher or-
ganizations this week are busily
completing program details for
the spring conference of the
sixth district, Texas Congress
of Parents and Teachers, to con-
vene here April 15-16.
TertflatiVe program arranged
Thursday at a district board ses
slon in San Angelo will include
a board meeting the night pro-
ceding the convention proper.
At this meeting dinner will be
served to district officials at the
Blue Bonnet hotel, convention
headquarters.
Wednesday, April 15, will be
the opening day of the conven-
tion and is expected to command
the attention of hundreds of
women from various parts of
West Texas. Sweetwater school
superintendents and principals
will be invited to give panel dis-
cussions with "Home and
School are Strengthened When
Towns and Teachers Cooperate"
as the general theme.
Mrs. James B. Ray, Rotan, a
state vice president, will be the
guest speaker for the after-
noon. From 3:30 to 5:30 p. nr.
five conference groups will
meet. In the evening a chuck
wagon dinner will be served nt
the Mustang bowl honoring
Mother Singers and life mem-
bers of the organization.
Following the supper will he
panel discussions by superinten-
dents from various towns in the
district. Games will close the
day as a recreation for the vis-
itors. Frank Monroe, a state of-
ficer of Midland, will direct the
amusement.
In carrying out a wartime pro-
gram the officials will wear
white ribbons on which will be
placed a defense stamp instead
of corsages. Most fanfare will be
omitted and expenses of the
conference will be reduced for
national defense.
The program was submitted
to board members in San Ange-
lo at the Thursday meeting
when Mrs. L. 0. Ryerlv, Mid-
land, district president, was in
charge. Her message to the
group was to safeguard our
homes more than ever during
the crisis and to appear cheerful
for the children's sake, also not
to discard parent-teacher work,
so vital to the nation's youth.
It was voted at the board
meeting that new officers will
be installed the last day of th?
conference. Also selection of
four delegates to the national
convention to be hosted in Aus-
tin May 3-7 by the state P-TA
was made.

er, was selected. Others are

These editors and child ex-
perts have traveled throughout

researches in scientific journals
and many books have their
names as joint authors. Dr. My-
ers admits that Mrs. Myers also

lar teaching at Western Reserve
university in order to extend
their services through the cour-

whole nation. Since that date
they have contacted hundreds

vice clubs, church groups, child
welfare agencies, and other or-

ment, and family relationships.
Although tor years each has
lectured and conducted public
forums throughout the United
States, only since the fall of
1940 have Dr. and Mrs. Myers

ferent places in the same city
