patients.

“May the meaning of Christ-
! mas be deeper, friendships
‘stronger and hopes brighter for
the New Year.” Wish I had said
that. It was the message on one
~ of the first Christmas cards we
received, and it tells so beau-
ply what we wish for our
friends, the readers of this
column. May each of you truly
{ have a Merry Christmas.

citing place to Christmas shop

Unless, of course, you might
hespond a day in Tangiers, Moroc-

antelope suede.

Action Committees
Formed by PTA
The Westmoreland Parent
Teachers’ Association met
recently to form PTA action
committees. President Stanley
McMinn led parents and
teachers through a series of
small group ‘‘brain storming’
sessions. Each small group
listed concerns and recom-
mendations for helping
teachers and school officials in
their work of educating
youngsters. Each small group
presented their suggestions or
concerns. Many of the same
recommendations were raised
by different groups.
Committees were formed in
several areas to make a
thorough study of situations and
offer the PTA recommenda-
tions for action. Included
among the committees were
playground, bus transportation,
ungraded classes, teacher-
volunteer aides, curriculum,
communications, and parent-
teacher conferences.
