SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TQ EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Municipal Court Judge Esquinaldo Advises B.P.W. Club On Legislation - Judge Enrique Esquinaldo of municipal court gave some prac- fical advice for the average citizen when he spoke to the Business and Professional Women's Club the general topic of how to influence your legislators, he himself to local and state law-making. As his first advice to the citizen who “wants something done” by the city fathers, he pointed’out that # pays to state your case in per- eon. Call your commissioner, see him personally, or come to the eouncil meetings and express your- @elf”’, he said. He emphasized that the city’s Jawmakers must make weighty de- eisions at almost every meeting, but must make them on the basis ef what they believe to be the de- sires of their constituents. As busi- wjess and professional men serving without pay, they must rely largely @n your expressed opinions in making those decisions, he added. Turning from the city, whose re- cent administrations have been good, he said, he considered Ame- Tican law-making on the state level. Here Judge Esquinaldo quot- ed somewhat pessimistically from a recent article by Lester Velie showing how little the citizen bas to say about the making of the state laws under which he lives. To curb the control by the “third” or “invisible” house—the bosses and the lobbies—he suggest- ed that the citizen exert both group and individual influence for better laws. As groups, civic clubs and service clubs can support hon- est and hard-working legislators and good proposed legislation. They can also pool their resources to employ watchdog committees— their own lobbies—to watch the special interests. : “Finally, ‘in raising the standards of American law-making, he would have the individual citizen set -an example of good citizenship for the younger generation, who, he felt, should be taught a greater appre- ciation of the American way of life in the schools. - The program was arranged by Mrs. Rose Frank, legislative chair- man for the club. At the business meeting eight ap-- plicants were elected to member- ship in the club. A motion was to consider members de- it if they have not paid dues by August 30, and to drop delin- quent members who have not paid dues by October 30. Another motion to support Linda Jolly for March of Dimes Queen was passed. i A report by the education com- mittee showed that club loan funds are being put to good use in loans to deserving students, Hostesses for the meeting were Mrs, Frank, Mrs. Rose Cohen, Miss Kathryn Lowe, Mrs. Grace Crosby and Miss Eunice Harra.

Talking on limited Mrs. Foresman Addresses Room Representatives Tuesday evening at 7:330 p. m. the Harris Elementary School room representatives held their monthly meeting in the school library. Mrs. Margaret Foresman, study course chairman, chose the topic “Are We Neglecting the 3 R’s” She used the article written by William A. Brownell for the Nation- al Parent Teacher Magazines. Brownell seems to think since there are well over 200,000 elemen- tary school in America using one standard method to judge them by is not fair. When he attended school in the first decade of this century, stu- dents then were taught in the spirit of formal discipline: that is, to multiply numbers like 3,407,098 by numbers like 657,348, and to solve intricate verbal problems repre- senting highly improbable if not impossible situations. This was supposed to train the powers of the mind. Then in 1910 another method was introduced which continued up un- til the present day and that is the “child-centered curriculum.” The teacher uses every-day experience along with school work. She strives to develop the child’s personality along with his mental and emo- tional growth. He utilizes what he learns instead of memorizing blind- ly. Among the various topics dis- cussed during the business session was that of the PTA play titled “Me and My Shadow”, which will be presented March 5 and 6. The cast, made up of parents is: Ray Harringtn, Mr. Houze; Arlene Har- rington, Catherine Houze; Mrs. King, Mrs. Virginia Key; Miss Susan Fisher, Mrs. Annie Ulchar; Bruce Douglas, Leonard Curry; Georgia Butler, Mrs. Doug Ed- wards; Shadow, Mrs. Lonnie Mc- Cormick; Sheriff Hickson, Glen- wood Sweeting; Sabu, Mr. Mc- Cormick. Principal Russell announced that the children had collected $210.00 toward the “March of Dimes” cam- paign and donations are still com- ing in. The Field Meet held Thursday afternoon was discussed. ~ A party for the third grade teach- ers and parents is to be held some- time in February. Mrs. Vendaline Russell is chairman and she will notify the room representatives of these rooms. Hostesses Mrs. Thelma Thomp- son, Catherine Houze, Lonnie Mc- Cormick, Gloria Hancock, Bessie Herring served home-made brown- ies, ribbon strip sandwiches, and hot coffee on an attractively ar- ranged refreshment table with black and white tablecloths and a center bowl of sapodilla branches }and pink hibiscus. Executive board of Harris Ele- mentary meets Tuesday at 7:30 p. |m. in school library. Guy Lombardo And Kin Will Vacation Here When Guy Lombardo finishes an engagement at New York’s Hotel Roosevelt Grille on February 1, he, his wife and brother Liebert will vacation at the Casa Marina Hotel in Key West, Florida, prior to an engagement in the New Orleans Roosevelt Hotel. CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER That Lee Chapman is a positive whiz at organization! In a chat Thursday afternoon, we accom- plished a great deal and even chose a name for a naval offi- cers’ wives column as well as making an outline of the plan to put the activities of O. W. C. groups under one head, except for the splurges when the events come off. It was Lee’s idea and her title. All I did was cast around and say, “Jt has to be short and catchy; it has to be Navy. What phrase is typical?” . . and then with Cedric, (that’s Lee’s husband), saying “Chatter” the idea of talk came up. . .and suddenly Lee said, “What's the exact phrase they use on a ship to get attention when something goes out over the loud speakers?” Cdr. Chapman said, “Oh, they begin with ‘Now hear this!’ Then they repeat it.” And I did a mental handstand. “That’s it,” I chortled. “NOW HEAR THIS” will be the title for a news letter of O. W. L. doings to come out once a week, preferably on Saturday, with a round-up of doings, dates, winners of bridge games, golf, Navy Car- nival data, ete., beginning next week, All three of us were born within a radius of 30 miles out- side Pittsburgh. . .and that reminds me that at the USO-YMCA there’s a State file box where-servicemen can leave their present addresses and their hometown. localities so that old frjends can look them up. Inslee that R. E. Lanahan, FSS, re- gistered January 25 and hails from Beaver Falls, Pa., where Py, clan lived since 1788. . .only in those days it was just the Northwest Territory and swarming with Dela- ware and Wyandotte Indians. WHICH REMINDS me of a funny sign just outside of Kittan- iting, Pa., which is northeast of Pittsburgh. Up on a ridge there is a hysterical, historical marker about George Washington who came up from Virginia when he was a very young man to survey the country and to call on King Beaver, Indian chief who lived in my neck of the woods. Most signs about our Number One Hero read, “George Washington Slept Here.” Well, out where us ridge-runners dwell, he had to keep pretty wide- awake. The Kittaning marker pro- claims, “GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS SHOT AT HERE.” It was many decades before the Revolu- tion, too, when the French and In- dians were pot-shotting and were under the British flag. ROUND AND ABOUT: Lt. Cmdr. A. P. (not Associated Press) Adams, of the Naval Air Station was the only “furriner” over at the recent Carnival Queen party which resulted in Barbara Vincent being named Fleet Train- ing Group candidate for the coveted title. Wonder if he was spying for his outfit on methods of how to promote votes for the NAS poten- tial Queen?. . .Don (Red) Kerrick is back from holiday leave. . .Now I know why Chief McClure wanted me to add simply ‘Rodger the Lodger” to his wedding list. ~. . Dispense suspense, for dispensa! personnel stick together. . .Carter Chase is a man who believes in exercise. He's a designer, not a golf fiend. He takes his exercise by putting a drink across the room from his chair and then gets up at intervals to pick up the glass and sip it! Enough Martinis and he'll be a muscle man with bulging bi- ceps. . .if ulcers don’t bulge first.

Mothers of the children in Mrs. Wright’s class gathered to learn from Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Edith Roberts, elementary _ supervisor, what parents could do to help their children to get along well in school, and also to learn what ser- vices the school offers the children. Mrs. Roberts described to the mothers the purpose of her work. She stressed that children need a strong sense of being loved, wanted and approved of in the home, in order to do well in school. She said that the child guidance direc- tor, Mrs. Nicolai, would help when special learning problems appear- ed and also that Mrs. Nicolai could recommend programs for after- school hours to be used with ex- eeptionally bright children. Several inexpensive publications to guide parents in helping their children were discussed. Mothers asked Mrs. Wright to order for them copies of “Infant Care,” “Your child from one to six,” “Your ‘child from six to twelve,” and “How to help your child with reading and how to help your child with numbers.” Mrs. Roberts offered to circulate some bulletins she has about how to help children mature emotionally. Most important subjects discuss- ed were parent-teachers confer- ences, and a summer reading pro- gram. Mothers present expressed the desire to meet separately with Mrs. Wright at school by appoint- ent, with time to be set by Mrs. Wright, to discuss their children’s progress. Mrs. Wright will send out with each child’s report card on Tuesday a list of questions pre- pared for her use by room mother Mrs. Jim Staples, which will help the mothers know: what: subjects are most helpful to discuss. * The mothers also said they would be happy to have Mrs, Wright visit at their homes, if they could plan for het coming in advance. To keep the children from for- getting what had been learned dur- ing the school year, it was recom- mended to establish a reading pro- gram in connection with the school recreational activities held at Bay- view Park each summer. Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Roberts, and Mrs. Curtis Lamb, (present in dual role of mother and teacher) believed this could easily be accomplished if mothers would volunteer their time in conducting the classes, FY} subject to the guidance of the local school system. Mothers present included Mrs. Scott Terrill, Mrs. W. A. Schoen- feld, Mrs. Jim Staples, Mrs. Cur- tin Lamb, Mrs. Edward Parker, Jack Sel- Mrs. Brooks.
