On the eve of its 75th birthday, February 1972, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers (National PTA) is as vital and alive as the youngest of the children whose best interest this remarkable organization has always sought to promote. With a membership of some 10-million in over 40,000 local PTAs in 52 state branches, the National PTA is able to offer even greater service than it has in the past. While meeting the daily challenges of our dynamic and complex society, it also focuses on the future with the full recognition that new problems requiring new solutions lie around every corner. In a massive and well-organized effort, the National PTA is presently engaged in translating specific programs into ac tion relevant to current needs and issues. Among other achieve ments, it has: —Established projects on smoking and health and drug abuse and children’s emotional health. —Sought ways to work effectively with judges in develop ing community volunteer programs in juvenile courts. —Created “Project PTSA” which converts high school PTAs into parent-teacher-student association with meaningful involvement for high school students in PTA work. —Developed a National PTA Action Program with a goal of quality living and quality learning for all Americans. The six priority areas of the action program are those of: drug abuse; education; environmental problems; human relations; poverty, disadvantage and hunger; and student unrest. In her membership proclamation for 1971, Mrs. John M. Mallory, president of the National PTA, assesses this truly great organization in this way; “In the PTA we are people taking action. PTA members turn sterile anxiety into fruitful action and aspiration into achievement. They find joy and satisfaction in working for the public interest. And there is no more important public interest than the children and youth of our nation.” The PTA needs not only the active involvement of each of its 10-million members, it needs the vigor and vitality of millions more who have an interest in and a responsibility for America’s future. October is membership enrollment month. We heartily recommend membership in the PTA to those who want to be where the action is!

And you worked hard, for very little pay. An orphan arrived on this earth for awhile, And he traveled life’s pathway for many a mile. In a covered wagon, he crossed the plains, | And settled in the little town of Haines. I His health was not good, ■ But his pleasures were plenty, ! His wealth was counted out, I In descendants, more than twenty. I I I I I He had a good wife; his pride and joy, They had five daughters and three boys, They shared their life together as one, In all the hardships, pleasures, and fun. Now he has arrived at the crossroads, And his burden’s been lifted for awhile. Our love is with him; his love is with us, A hand reaches out; He takes it with a smile. | Words can never begin to express, I I I j I Dad, you’ll not be forgotten, no not you, J As you have many friends, forever true, I As long as the sun shines up above, The sorrow, the sadness, the emptiness, ■ That is left in our hearts today, As he begins that journey, so far away. | You’ll be remembered with friendship and love.
