Hospitality Day Sets Near Record Near records in net income and attendance at the 1964 Holiday Hospitality Day was a highlight of the year for the woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County. Hard-working women who knitted, baked, and made intricate and imaginative decorations were rewarded last week at the annual meeting when the financial data from the event held earlier this month was read by Mrs. Virgil Smith. Mrs. Smith, co-chairman with Mrs. Jack Satorius, said the net income was about $6,- 700, including items sold at the Gift Shop and at the Christmas House.

SEEK ACTIVE > MEMBERSHIP IN LOCAL PTA GROUPS McHenry Cofnmunity PTA has held two general meeting' to date, and November will see the first meeting of the Edgebrook school, and the Jun- ; ior high school will hold its ( open house on Nov. 12. The ; next issue of the Plaindealer | will give mo-e information on j both of these meetings. At the ; f:rst PTA meeting in September, approximately 200 [*?ople at tended, and of brte&f over 50 percent were teachers. In October, at ihe second meeting. \ approximately 160 att ended .and eft these about--40 percent were teachers. October and November are the recruiting months for membership for PTA, but anyone can join at any time. Many people ask, "Why join PTA -- what good does it do?" The obvious thing that even a weak PTA does is to bring parents into the-school. This is a simple thing, but very valuable. Knowledgeable psychologists and educators stress the relationship between a child's success in school and his parent's attitude toward education. The parent who attends a PTA meeting, who sees his child's work in school, who meets his teacher, is demonstrating to the child that he cares about his education and his school. For the child a bond is established between home and school. The local PTA has a study group working at the present time concerning the need for EMH (Educable Mentally Handicapped) classrooms. In January there are plans for a study group on modern math, and parents interested should please contact Mrs. Paul Overton, 3S5-1499.
