As City Clerk
Joe F. Hall resigned as city
secretary effective February 1,
after having served this office 17
years. In commenting on his re-
tirement “Uncle Joe”, as he is
affectionately known, said “he
will miss the chats with folks he
has had the pleasure of associ-
ating with through the years.”
However, his time will be taken
up as he plans to visit the farm
and catch up on the things he
missed for a number of years, as
he has planned to do.
Uncle Joe has. been a faithful
servant to our city and has serv-
ed in several capacities since
£913.
He has been mayor, city coun-
cilman and served as president of
the fire department 33 years. He
missed only 2 fire department

a member of the department
and received recognition in Fire-
men’s Journal, a national maga-
zine.
He was employed as bookkeep-
er at Leonard National Bank for
twelve years, from 1907 to 1919.
Governor Coke Stevenson ap-
pointed Mr. Hall to the Fannin
County Parole Board in 1941 and
Governor Allan Shivers re-ap-
pointed him in 1945. During
World War I President Woodrow,
Wilson named Mr. Hall to the
Rev. Bradley, Jr.

P.T. A.’s to Celebrate Founders Day
ll-Million Members Mark
Organization’s 61st Year
On February 17 the world’s largest voluntary service organization
will celebrate its 61st birthday.
This is the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, whose
nearly eleven million members are active today in P.T.A.’s through-
out the 48 states, the District of Columbia, Alaska, and Hawaii. They
will mark the organization’s Founders Day with a variety of activ-
ities aimed at strengthening and expanding parent-teacher work
in their own communities.
Mrs. Rollin Brown, of Los<?>----------------------------------
Angeles, president of the Nation-
al Congress, points out that these
43,000 P.T.A.’s have set the pat-
tern for parent-teacher associa-
tions in areas where U.S. armed
forces have established Ameri-
can communities overseas. And
parents of school children in
other nations have sought help
from the National Congress in
forming similar groups to pro-
mote education in their countries.
Founders Day activities, sched-
uled for February 17, will honor
two women whose imagination
and concern for children planted
the seed for this still-growing
organization.
It was in 1897 that Alice Mc-
Lellan Birney and Phoebe Ap-
person Hearst conceived’the idea
of a National Congress of Moth-
ers to promote the health and
welfare of children by helping
their parents learn more about
how to fulfill a child’s physical
and spiritual needs.
They worked hard to interest
other women in their aims and
approached the date they had
set for the organizing meeting
with hopes of seeing a hundred
or so delegates arrive at Wash-
ington’s Arlington Hotel. But “if
only twenty-five are there,” ad-
mitted Mrs. Birney, “I shall be
satisfied.”
More than two thousand men
and women turned out!
Their enthusiastic reception of
the aims, as outlined by the
Founders, and of the lectures,
discussions, and conferences that
made up the first meeting set the
pace for a great national move-
ment. Soon state congresses were
founded, and before long the
original “mothers’ congress’’
vas broadened to include the
concept of parents working with
teachers.
Since that founding meeting,
the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers has written an
impressive record of achieve-
ment. It includes these activities
in behalf of children:
Donated hundreds of thousands
of dollars in scholarships to stu-
dents planning to enter the teach-
ing profession.
Initiated a program for the
periodic health appraisal of well
children from birth through high
school—an extension of the Sum-
mer Round-Up campaigns under
which nearly three million pre-
school children have received
physical examinations.
Promoted successfully thou-
sands of school building projects,
including preliminary surveys,
educational campaigns, and
school bond issues.
Alerted the public to violations
of child labor statutes, stressed
the need for improved juvenile
detention facilities, and sup-
ported sound adoption laws.
Helped establish child-care cen-
ters for children of working
mothers and worked to raise the
standards of all child-care estab-
lishments.
Established and supported pub-
lic kindergartens until public
support could be secured.
Pioneered in establishing and
maintaining thousands of hot
school lunch programs long be-
fore the public in general became
aware of their importance.
Helped to keep the schools open
during the years of war and de-
pression— an achievement for
which it received a special cita-
tion from the National Education
Association.
The first Board of Managers of the National Congress of Mothers
(the National Congress of Parents and Teachers since 1925). Left
to right, seated: Mrs. John R. Lewis, vice-president; Mrs. Adlai
Stevenson, vice-president; Mrs. Theodore W. Birney, president and
Founder; Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst, vice-president and co-
Founder; Mrs. William L. Wilson, chairman of the Reception Com-
mittee; and Mrs. F. Benjamin Johnston.
Standing: Mrs. Henry J. Finley, chairman of the Press Commit-
tee; Mrs. James H. McGill, chairman of the Entertainment
Committee; Mrs. A. A. Birney, chairman of the Committee on
Arrangements; Mrs. H. W. Fuller, chairman of the Transportation
Committee; Miss Mary Louisa Butler, corresponding secretary;
and Mrs. Harriet A. McLellan, chairman of the Literature Com-
mittee.
Headquarters of the National
Congress of Parents and Teach-
ers stands today at 700 North
Rush Street, in Chicago. The
building, dedicated in 1955, won
an award from the Chicago chap-
ter of the American Institute of
Architects and the Chicago Asso-
ciation of Commerce and Indus-
try for excellence in architecture.
Mrs. Rollin Brown, president,
uses giant thermometer to illus-
trate how membership in the Na-
tional Congress has more than
doubled since 1947.
