The Raleigh Commitee on Arrang“- The first meeting of the Parent- Teacher Association for this school year was held in the high school au ditorium Friday . afternoon with a large number of the patrons of the school present. Much enthusiasm was shown by those* present for the work of the association during the next school term and judging from the number present and the interest that was shown a good year is ahead. -The program of the evening was in charge of Miss Bessie Covington, As this was the first meeting and the time for preparation of a pro- gram so short no elaborate program was attempted. The program was opened by Rev. A. J. Hobbs, Jr., pastor of the Methodist church, who gave a very interesting and instruct ive talk on “The Cooperation Be tween School and Home.” According to the speaker, society is a triangle, the three corners being represented by the church, the school and the home. Each complements the other and each is dependent upon the other! Hobbs urged the parents to see for themselves what _ the teachers were doing in the school and then give the school and the teachers their fullest cooperation in making the school year a success. Following Mr. Hobbs, Miss Linda Cook delighted tne association with a vocal solo.

Any fruit, vegetable or meat, whether, home grown or purchased, may be sent, and contestants may enter one, two or all three divisions. The method of caning is optional with the contestant, but the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture recommends for safety of pack and ease of preserv- commendations. Although this was the regiilarTtm? 1 far the election of officers for the en suing year, no action was taken on this matter, due to the fact that one member of the nominating committee had been sick and the committee wad, consequently, not ready to make a report. This election will be held at the next meeting with the old offi cers holding over until that time. Several years ago the, parent- teacher association suspended opera tions for a short time and during . this time the woman’s club took over the work of attending to the school grounds. Now that the association has begun to function again the woman’s club asked to be relieved of this work as it rightfully belongs to the parents-teacher association. The association took this work back at their meeting Friday and will in the future look after the school grounds. A membership drive is being pre pared and it is hoped that every par ent in the community will feel obli gated to become a member of the as sociation. The association has ’only- one purpose, the. betterment of the school, and stands reedy to assist, the s’ z rintendent and teachers in any way which it is able to make the Red Springs school the best in the county. In order to be of most ser vice a large enrollment is necessary and it is hoped that the largest en rollment in the history of the ass^_ ciation will be reached this year. * Robeson Baptist Union Meets 26th 7,792,000 bushels or 81 per cent con-’ dition.
