EDITORIAL COMMENT Now that school is in ses sion various Parent-Teacher Associations of the county are to hold regular meetings again. As each group gets together, a number of school problems will be dis cussed and in some cases steps taken to solve them. Much good is accomplished by the various PTA organiza tions of the county as they at tack the perennial problems of our schools-—providing k&hool lunches for needy children, support of a school band, rais ing funds for school equip ment in an effort to have an 1 accredited school. But one problem in particu lar is common to all schools in the county. Although it has been discussed -and worked on by most of the PTA groups, truancy is still one of the big difficulties. ' Here is a situation that might best be helped by all the Parent - Teacher Associations of the county working togeth er. One suggestion has already been made in these columns during the past two weeks .the hiring of an educational counsellor. This is one of sev eral possible solutions. If re presentatives of all county RTA’s worked together with determined effort, other and possibly more practical solu tions might be offered. It may be well to review the suggestion of an educational counsellor here. This should be a person with special training in attendance and truancy pro- DEVTON FARM SUPPLT Os Deyton and Boyce Lee Howell Ivan Renfro, our new out side salesman, will soon be by to see all the people on our routes.

George Young says he is going to beat all his folks and Beecher Griffith says he will give him a good race. Folks all over the county have learned that they can make a hog fast by feeding according to the Purina Program. Most use Hog, 'Fatena but some use Hog Chow Supplement with corn. They work equally well. It isn’t too late to start a pig litter. Good slaughter weights can be reach ed when the hog is 5 months old. % Checkerboard.

He should visit par ents of children kept out of. school in an effort to convince them of the need to send the children to school. If there is some special difficulty, h e could help work on that. For example, a child is kept out of school because the family can taot afford to buy shoes or school lunches. The counsellor should be in touch with various church and other charitable or ganizations that would be will ing to help. Or a child may have failed to deveks any in terest in school because df poor vision. Correcting that situa tion would be routine. Any one of the PTA’s of the county could take the initiative in a move to bring all the PTA’s together to work on this problem.

At times she stands and gent ly smiles Or lightly sits upon the bed. It’s like it used to be when I, A child of ten or even less Would wait for her to come to me To soothe my brow with fond „ caress; , But now she never touches me, Moving lightly on the air, I And often II have wondered if At last we aren’t the alien pair. iMildred S.

And why do you think it is that kids Just can’t rreist the temptation to crawl in aide and shut the door when they come upon a discarded ice box in a Junkyard? They're trying to get cool, man. to get oool! , And then there was tha news story about tha workers In a fac tory which manufactured air con ditioners.
