NUMBER 41
6. E. Denny Is
PTA Speaker
Supt. G. *E. -Denny was the
speaker for the 'first program of
the Parent-Teacher Association,
which met Thursday afternoon at
three o'clock in the elementary
school auditorium. His remarks
were In line with the PrTA slogan,
"Looking Forward with the
T-TA." Prefacing his topic wad
the question, "Qo we want teach-
ers for our children?" -
He drew attention to the facts
that teachers are now scarce; that
the school population is growing;
that business and industry offer
better inducements to , talented
young people now coming out of
college; that many present teach-
ers are retiring or leaving the
profession for other reasons each
year. If schools are to have desir-
able and gualifled teachers, then
it 'is necessary, he said, to insure
teacher benefits comparable to
those offered by business and in-
dustry. Amendment 4, which is to
be voted on in the general elec-
tion on November 6, ts aimed at'
Improving the teachers' present
retirement benefits, in order to
hold- those who are now teaching
and to draw -others into the pro-
fession. The Parent-Teacher As-
sociation cannot endorse a politi-
i ral candidate; but one of its ob-
jectives is "To secure adequate
laws _for protection of children
and youth." It is, therefore, heart-
ily endorsing the passage of A-
niendment 4.
SomS of the statistics Mr. Den-
ny quoted have been compiled and
published by Mrs. Leon Price, pre-
sident of the Texas Congress of
Parents and Teachers.
Mrs. C. L. Felts presided at the
meeting, which, was opened with
prayer and a devotional by Mrs.
Harold G. Wise.
The "Echoes," composed of June
Raton, Jeanette Luttrell, Carolyn-
Carter, Linda .Hall, and Sqndra
Lyday, gave two vocal numbers,
accompanied by Jane Wise and
Mrs. L. J. Elick, pianists, and
Mike Elick, saxophonist.
During the business session.
Mrs. Scears Speer read the rec-
ommendations of the executive
committee, which were passed as
follows:
1. The time of meeting was set
as the second Thursday of each
month at 3:00 p. m.
2. The oy-laws were amended
to permit the president to appoint
the publicity chairman, the parlia-
mentarian, and the publication
chairman.
3. The Hallowe'en carnival which
is the one money-making project
of the local P-TA, will be held in
the same setting as it was last
year and in the same manner, ex-
cept for tHe cake-walk and the
manner of electing the que<>n and
princess, which will be based on
popularity Instead of the purch-
ase of votes Each room is to elect
one girl and one boy to represent
that room. Tickets to the corona-

was only hit on the left side^ in-
stead of what could have been a
head-on collission.

Being Conducted
The Honey Grove Signal-Citizen
and the Honey Grove Chamber of
Commerce i$ undertaking a labor
survey in order to determine the
approximate number of prospec-
tive workers available should it
be possible to interest a manu-
facturer or manufacturers In lo-
cating a plant or plants here, lt
was announced this week by
Chamber of Commerce president
Robert Ed WeBt and Joe T. Mor-
row, Signal-Citizen publisher.
"So far when we have" talked to
manufacturers, we haven't had any
concrete figures to give them as
to availability of workers,"' West
said. "There are several working
at the Diaper Jeans plant; which
Will soon close here, but to say
anywhere near the number of both
men. and women workers avail-
able .would be only a wild guess/'
West added.
"We are starting this week,
conducting a labor survey, and we
sincerely hope that all persons
in the. Honey Grove area, includ-
ing all those who are presently
employed at the Diaper Jeans
plant, and who would like to work
here will fill out one of the forms
and either mail or bring it to
the Sgnail-Citizen office not later
than October 27," West said.
"From the information thus ob-
tained, we will be able to deter-
mine fairly accurately the avail-
able labor pool and give defi-
nite figures to manufacturers with
whom we are now negotiating, '
West addod.
"A survey form is being printed
on this page of The Signal-Citi-
zen. It in no way shall be const"-
rued that it is an application for
employment," Morrow said. "The
more forms we get the more com-
plete the survey will be, and we
therefore trust that all who would
be available to work in a new in-
dustry here, both men and women,
will fill out one of the forms and
get it to The Signal-. Citizen of-
fice by October 27," he conclud-
ed.
