Study of American Heritage
group elects Mrs. Lane, others

THE CLIFTON RECORD — Clifton, Texas
/
Weldon 0 (Otto) Mills, Hill
County Superintendent of
Schools has been elected presi-
dent of the Heart O’ Texas
Study of American Heritage
group.
Elected vice president of the
historical group was Mrs Fh, e
Weaver, Social Studies Co-
ordinator of the Waco Public
Schools. tOher officers include
Mrs. Kay Lane, Clifton Public
Schools, secretary, and Dr. D.
M. L. Goetting, dean emeritus,
Baylor’s School of Education,
treasurer.
The Heart O’ Texas Study of
American Heritag e is com-
posed of 73 administrators and
principals of school districts
from the eight-county area of
Bosque, Hill, Milam, Falls, Mc-
lennan, Bell, Limestone and
Navarro.
Purpose of the group is to
further the interest of young
people in the heritage of the
community, state and nation,
'Mills said.
"Each adult shares respon-
sibility for honoring the adoles-
cent’s right to know about his
nation and to understand its
fundamental principles,” Mills
said, “but Central Texas edu-
cators bear a special responsi-
bility for the citizens of the
communities have assigned
thm the job of teaching and,
sooner or later, will hold them
accountable.”
Both Mr. Mills and Mrs Wea-
ver said that their study group,
founded in 1954, approaches
its goal from two directions:
encouragement and limited fi-
nancial help in the forming and
in active work for Junior His-
torian Chapters in the Central
Texas secondary schools, and
helping classroom teachers in
curriculum provision for in-
structions in the Free Enter-
prise System.
In 1973, the State legislature
mandated that all public
schools give instructions about
the essential of the American
Free Enterprise System. Al-
though the course isn’t exclu-
sively a social studies course,
said Mr. Mills and Mrs. Wea-
ver, the principles taught con-
tribute to accomplishing part
of the overall goal of the eHart
O’ Texas Study of American
Heritage.
According to the new presi-
dent and vice-president, the
participants in the study group
are dedicated to assisting class-
room teachers in assuring:
— That teaching guides in
each grade include instruction
in citizenship, conservation and
aafety.
—That pupils show pride in
their community, their school
and their nation.
— That documents of his-
torical significance be used
effetively in classroom instruc-
tion.
— That pupils respect and
abide by the laws of the com-
munity'; state and nation.
— That instruction on the
essentials and benefits of the
American free enterprise sys-
tem is included in social
studies classes as well as other
subject areas such as business
education and vocation educa-
tion.
— To encourage each Junior
Historian Chapter sponsor and
potential sponsor to attend the
state-wide workshop by the
Texas State Historical Associa-
tion. Cost of lodging for one
night and the cost of gasoline
to and from the city where the
workshop is held will be re-
imbursed by the study group.
— To work with the various
Chambers of Commerce in en-
couraging free enterprise
teachers to use members of the
local business community in
classroom presentation.
— To hold an annual awards
«id recognition banquet to
recognize outstanding students
of Junior Historian Chapters ot
the efght-county area.
Working with the Texas Bu-
reau of Economic Under-
standing in Arlington, the
Heart O’ Texas Study Group
has had a part in establishing
summer institutes at the grad-
uate level in several universi-
ties around the state including
the course to be taught at Bay-
lor which will carry six hours
of graduate credit in education
and will cost the accepted ap-
plicant the cost of registering
—$25.
Mrs Weaver said the course
is designed to help eHart 0
Texas classroom teachers to
better prepare for the man-
dated teaching of the princi-
ples of the American free en-
terprise. system
The Heart O’ Texas Study of
American Heritage is financial-
ly underwritten by the Texas
Bureau for Economic Under-
standing. The Bureau is fund-
ed by contributions from or-
ganizations and individuals
throughout Texas.
Executive Board of the Heart
O’ Texas Study of American
Heritage includes Mrs. Lane
and Walter Parks, superintend-
ent of schools, Meridian ISD.

Reports

Bosque County
A clean, well-maintained air
conditioner means more effi-
cient cotoling—and comfort—
for the family.
Regular inspection and clean-
ing of filters and grills in
home air conditioner units
keeps the house cooler—and
saves fuel.
Filters are traps for the al-
most invisible impurities in the
air and regularly guild up an
accumulation of dirt.
Air Conditioner filters in
most units — and those in
older buildings — require,
vacuuming and warm-water
washing monthly. Shake off
excess water, dry and replace
filter
An alternative to that is the
disposable filter — available
in various sizes, usually easy
to change, and inexpensive.
New homes — or recently
remodeled homes — may need
more frequent filter changes,
or cleanings, during the first
cooling season, because of
extra dust in the system.
For cleaning room gjjlls, vj«
a soft cloth, mild soap and
warm water — not waxes or
cleaners. .
If the system seems sluggish
alter cleaning call a service
man certified by the manufac-
turer of the air conditioner —
or an electrician.
Home canner pressure geuge
testing clinic planned
Food preservation time is
just around the corner and you
will want to be prepared when
the vegeables mature. You will
be able to ge your home canner

Clifton Civic Centers small

to 3 p.m.

Club members and he County
Extension Agent (home eco-
nomics) will be working in the
clinic to do the testing. Publi-
caions on canning freezing and

charge.
