DOUBLE FEATURE
FIGHTING STALLION
And
FORBIDDEN JUNGLE
: the need for school equipment. ,
! during which It was pointed out
that school authorities lack suf
ficient funds to buy the equip
' ment needed.
A heated discussion was held,
I during the business session,
about the sale, by the county
board of education, of seats in
the old school theatre to the
Town of Highlands. The seats
were paid for, it was pointed
out, through operation of the
theatre, and It was added that
Highlands persons now are hes
itant to contribute to buy equip
ment for the new school be- j
cause the seat sale indicates the
new equipment would belong to
the county board. Ti ,'e to the
seats was in the county board,
it was explained, since they
were bought "on time", and the
seller required that a public
body be responsible. The insur
ance on the seats, it is under
?stood, was paid by the county j
board. 1
After a motion to send a dele
gation to see the county board
was defeated, the association
voted to write the attorney gen
eral for an opinion, so as to
clear up the question, lor the
future, as to whom equipment, j
bought for an individual school |
through efforts of the school
community, belongs.
Taking the topic,. "Parent
Education and Family Relation
ship", Mrs. Jones spoke briefly,
stressing the Importance of a
well-rounded personality ? the
development of the child phys
ically, mentally, spiritually, so
cially, and emotionally. She em
phasized the parents' respon
sibility for the development in
the pre-school period, and cited
the lack of experience of young
parents. This, she said, presents
the need for parent education.
Her talk was followed by a
unique "capsule" discussion, in
which those present broke up
into three discussion groups,
followed by a general discus
sion.
Mrs. J. M. Valentine, presi
dent, presided. Following the
session refreshments were serv
ed by the hospitality committee,
made up of Mrs. Carter E.
Talley, chairman, Mrs. Joseph
W. Reese, Jr., Mrs. Tommy Hunt,
and Mrs. Sidney McCarty, Jr.
