Three R's Real
Important to
'Denim' Family
Known as the Denim Achieve-
ment Family, Mr. and Mrs. Gay.
lord Wert and their five chil-
dren of Escondido, Calif., were
honored last week in New York.
The family was selected in a
cross-country contest for the
Denim industry by Boys’ Clubs
of America. A member of the
Escondido police force for a
number of years, Mr. Wert is
now a truck driver who shares
lively Shakespeare readings
with the family every week. He
is 40 and his wife, Edith, 37,
say their family of JoAnn, Beth,
Vivian, Ronald and Gaylord, Jr.,
ages 10-18, are learning the im-
portance of the “three R’s.” In
their family these stand for re-
sponsibility, respect for self and
others and the importance of
relaxation. ,
Mrs. Wert works as assistant
clerk at Department of Employ-
ment in Escondido. Mr. Wert
has received many certificates
for safe driving and outstand-
ing care in handling freight.
They all realize the importance
of doing things together and a
family night once a week,
planned alternately by each
member, takes in everything
from music concerts to making
popcorn balls and candy.
The family built their own
ranch home, which is wired for
fluorescent lighting and tape re-
cording, made their own furni-
ture, dug their well, raise their
food, make their clothes, enjoy
hobbies of photography, includ-
ing printing and developing,
music, reading, geneology, oil
painting and raising flowers.

Women Asked
To Understand
Fund's Objectives
Heads of women’s organiza-
tions in the city and those who
work with youth groups are
asked to attend a meeting Fri-
day evening at the Girl Scout
Little House in Leonard Park,
7:30 o’clock, by Ken Blanton of
the United Fund.
Blanton, who heads the fi-
nance division, states the gath-
ering is purely educational and
is not to line up solicitors for
the fund. Blanton feels that by
explaining to the general pub-
lic the purposes of the fund, its
objectives, enthusiasm may be
raised to the point that support
will come naturally. He wants
women of the city to carry the
message into their homes and
organizations.
Still in its infancy, under-
standing of the United Fund is
necessary so that support an-
nually is not a begging proposi-
tion but a spontaneous one,
Blanton states. He hopes to en-
list support of the fund in other
ways than door-to-door methods
as used in the past.
