It is the hope of the P.T.O. executive board to in­ crease the interest and par­ ticipation of more parents in this worthwhile organization. The questionnaries are to be returned to the schools by May 25. As an added incentive, the classroom at each grade level attaining the highest per­ centage of returns by May 25 will receive a treat from the P.T.O. So parents, please answer these questionnaires as soon as you receive them and get them back to the school. Maybe your child will be in the classroom with the highest percentage of returns. Also, you will be helping your P.T.O.

You are preparing for a hunting trip. The weather has been snowing intermittently with the temperature in the mid 20's. The forecast is for con­ tinued snow and low tem­ peratures. In order to prepare for your outing that is to last five days, selection of the proper clothing is critical Would You.... A. Select cotton jeans, sweatshirts and leather boots as your primary garments. B Select a combination of cottons and polyesters. C. Select wool garments. D Select a combination of garments The type of clothing is not as important as the quantity To Survive Survival experts agree that alternative <C>. wool clothing, is the best type of wear in cold environments. Wool is non- absorbing fabric with the unique property of keeping the body warm even when it is wet. Alternatives (At and <B> offer cotton or cotton and polyester combinations. These are satisfactory in warm climates, but are not suitable in cold environments because they absorb and retain water, making them deadly com­ binations. Additionally, cotton is slow in drying out because of its total absorption of moisture. To the outdoor enthusiast who must depend on his clothing for warmth, the choice of what type of clothing to wear is critical. Alternative (D) is erroneous in its claim that the type of clothing is not important. Wool is the preferable fabric, but must also be properly cut in order to provide freedom of movement and insulation value. It is also good to note that while wool garments are warm when wet, the loose weave of the fabric is not a good windstopper. So, a good wind- breaker is advisable as an outer garment in order to SPENGEL MEAT PACKING CORPORATION Where the TOP Area Restaurant's Buy their Meat" U.S. GOVT. INSP. EST.
