Pendleton To Have Charge of Groups Here— Had Fine Training Transylvania is one of some twenty counties in North Carolina to be of fered federal help for parents with their many and vexed family ;11<«b lems. The home lias evidently become j grave question to Uncle Sam. ' No Parent Education work K ar . tied on except in counties whore there is fine interest,” say autlvni-j lies at Raleigh.

Pendleton was transfer red to his work and sent to Greens boro, and now he is back in Brevard ready to begin, and will be at the Nursery School in the elementary building Thursday and Friday morn ings from eight to twelve to meet interested people and talk over plans for groups. An advisory com mittee has been set up, but the time for a trial is far too short to wait on machinery.
