Licensed Child Care Centers
Sponsored by Welfare Department
As school bells draw closer
and cool autumn days arrive
rapidly, many working mothers
begin thinking more about where
■ they will leave their children
during the daytime this year.
While many have had neighbors
or schoolgirls watching young-
sters during the lazy days of
summer, regular attention for the
children becomes serious bus-
iness for many families as the
start of school approaches.
And, as more and more young
mothers of today hold at least
part time jobs during the winter
months, the necessity for trained,
qualified persons to care for
children moves into the fore-
ground.
For many years, and even at
the present, many women have
operated nursery schools or done
babysitting for one or more
children on a kind of on-again,
off-again basis.
But, as this operation in-
creased in scope, in direct line
with the rise in the number of
working mothers, the Department
of Public Welfare of the State
of Texas decided something
needed to be done to supervise
and insure that all children were
receiving proper attention at
child care centers.
From this idea came a state
licensing program for all child
care centers.
The department says a child
care center is a place where at
least seven youngsters are kept.
In setting up rules and regu-
lations by which such centers
■ are licensed and must be main-
I tained, Mrs. Rosemary McLaren
of the Odessa office of the De-
partment of Public Welfare, said
common sense is the basic re-
quisite for setting up a center
properly.
“All of the rules which have
been established are simply ones
of common sense," Mrs. Mc-
Laren commented. “The num-
bers of staff members, space re-
quirements, menu limitations and
the like are justmattersof apply-
ing what you need for one child
to a planned program."
Mrs. McLaren pointed out that
at the present time there are
three licensed child care centers
in the city.
The minimum acceptable con-
• ditions and facilities for such
centers is set out in a pamphlet
published by the department. The
rules call for an overall direc-
tor of the center and definite
limitations on the number of staff
members. This varies with the
number and age of the children
cared for.
The state also requires em-
ployes of child care centers to
have current physical examina-
tions for all employes as well
as youngsters.

The next few weeks are to be
busy ones for members of Lam-
bda Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma
Phi. They already have begun to
knock on doors and ring tele-
phones, compiling the annual
birthday calendar.
The calendar, as usual, will
carry meeting dates of various
organizations, birthday date list-
ings, wedding anniversary dates
and other information which can
be helpful through the coming
year.
A small fee is paid for each
listing and merchants and bus-
iness firms throughout the area
buy advertising space.
What is the money used for?
All net proceeds go into the Sylvia
Spangler Nursing Fund and is
used for scholarships for care-
fully selected applicants who want
to become registered nurses.
Two registered nurses, train-
ing on scholarships from Lambda
Alpha, have been graduated. One
is Shirley Harbin Evans, super-
visor of surgery at Winkler
County Memorial Hospital.
Janice Bolf is scheduled to
receive her graduate pin in
September from West Texas Me-
morial School of Nursing in San
Angelo.
The Chapter also has two soph-
omore nursing students studying
at Methodist Hospital, Lubbock.
They are Miss Marilyn Thomp-
son and Miss Nancy Lewis.
Two nursing scholar ships were
awarded Kermit High School girls
at the close of last school term.
These girsl are Miss Donna Bolon
and Carolyn Lowery. They will
begin their training as soon as
they complete the one year of
college requirement.
A spokesman for Lambda Alpha
explained the calendar project as
follows: “Our organization
makes no profit whatsoever on
the sale of the calendars. We
pay 50-cents each for them and
sell them for 50-cents. We do
receive the money made on list-
ings of birthdays and wedding an-
niversaries, at 25-cents each,
not to exceed $2 for any one
family. We also receive the
money we make on advertising
space on the calendar and the
listings of club and organization
dates.”
Some of the advertisers offer
gifts or discounts to citizens who
make purchases on their birth-
day or anniversary. Plans are
to have the 1965 calendar the
best and most complete of any
previous ones. A picture of the
Kermit Yellow Jacket Choir has
been chosen to use as the front
picture, Kermit High School K
Band was featured on the 1964
issue.
“If you don't want to tell your
age," a chapter member re-
minded, “we don't tell how old
you are, anyway . . just the
date so your friends and neigh-
bors can wish you ‘Happy Birth-
day.' "
“We are proud of the calendar
project,” she continued. “It is
a pleasure to watch these qual-
ified girls be molded into mature,
competent nurses and to feel we
have had a part in their success.
We call them ‘aur nurses.'
^Remember,” she concluded,
“that when you pay a small sum
for your listing, you are getting
more than your meeting dates
listed for one full year. You
also have the fun of knowing whose
birthday or anniversary is com-
ing up, you are buying adver-
tising space for your business
. . and you are doing your share
in helping us award these annual
scholarships . . . helping de-
serving young girls qualify for
one of the world's most respected
professions . . . that of being a
registered nurse."
Competetive teams have been
formed among chapter members.

Calvin Trice Becomes Jal’s First
Assistant School Superintendent
JAL, N.M. — Something new
has been added to Jal School
system . . . for the first time
in history an assistant super-
intendent has been employed.
John Uxer, superintendent, has
announced the appointment of Cal-
vin Trice to the new post.
Trice's duties mainly include
the curricular area, text books,
public relations, handling many
student personnel services and
cafeterias.
Trice comes to Jal from Ber-
lin, Germany, where he served
the 1963-64 term as principal of
the American Public Schools, lo-
cated in the U. S. occupational
area of West Germany.
A native of Pampa, he was
graduated from Denver City High
School, holds a BA Degree from
Hardin-Simmons University, Ab-
ilene, and aMasters Degree from
Eastern New Mexico University.
After graduation from Denver
City High School, Trice served
three years in the Air Force
from 1946 until 1949.
He worked 10 years with the
Hobbs school system, teaching
four years, and in an,administra-
tive position for six years. He
also was director of activities of
the Hobbs school. Two of the six
years were spent as assistant
principal.
In 1962 he was assigned by the
Defense Department to be as-
sistant principal at the American
school in Mannheim, Germany.
In 1963 he went to Berlin as
principal.
Mr. and Mrs. Trice and chil-
dren, Richard, 12; Cheryl, 7;
and Jeffery, 5, returned to the
states July 15.
“Our two years teaching over-
seas were pleasant and en-
joyable,” Trice says, “I met
many noted educators and came
in contact with many persons
who I never would have known
otherwise. It was educational in
many ways.”
“Life in Berlin,” he continued
“was all one could wish but we
were constantly aware that we
were 110 miles inside the Iron
Curtain. When we started some-
where our orders were not to
stop and not to turn around and
come back. If something hap-
pened, we were to stay put until
help came. We also had strict
orders concerning who to show
our passports and it certainly
was not like the vast expanses
here in the States, where you
are never stopped and never
questioned."
Collecting Indian artifacts is
the chief hobby of Trice, wlfo is
interested in history and folk-
lore of the area.
Their home, 802 Iowa Street,
is decorated with unusual touches
from Germany. They collected
and brought back antiques which
pleased their fancy. One is alarge
grandfather clock. There are a
number of figurines, a coffee
grinder, which is still in common
use in Germany, and many other
items that will remain treasured
possessions of the Trice family.

DON'T RENT THIS HOME
BUY IT WITH YOUR RENT MONEY! *
If you are paying rent, says Jim Walter, famous builder of
Jim Walter homes, you may be able to purchase a beautiful
Home for the same amount of money.
For example, $50 a month amounts to $7,200 in 12 years;
$60 a month amounts to $8,640 in 12 years; $70 a month
amounts to $10,800 in 12 years and if you can afford to pay
$100 a month for 12 years the amount will total $14,400!
Instead of having nothing to show for your rent money you
can have the home of your dreams.
You don't even need to pay anything down — the Jim Walter
Corporation will finance your home 100%. The only require-
ment is that you must own your own lot or homesite free and
clear. After that, the rest is easy.
There are 21 different Jim Walter home plans to select from,
and many different floor plans. You can have a one-bedroom,
two-bedroom, three-bedroom or four-bedroom home com-
pletely finished outside, then choose from 44 different inside
options either furnished or installed.
If you own a lot, or can afford to buy one for cash, write today
for the Jim Walter catalog of homes. See how much you can
buy for the amount of rent you are now paying. You will be
pleasantly surprised. Mail coupon right now — there is no
obligation.
