A. this (Thursday) evening at 7:30 p. m. The local program committee has been most fortunate in secur ing the services of .John Zuidema of the South Carolina Mental Health Commission in Columbia, for the evening. Mr. Zuidema is most qualified to present such a subject and it would be well worth the time of all parents in the lo cal community to come out and hear him on this subject. A ques tion and answer period has been set for this important project. This will be a wonderful oppor tunity to learn more on how to realize the parent’s responsibility in building toward good health and attitudes for our children. Rev. Paul E. Monroe, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church will be in charge of the devotions for the evening. President Phil Kelly will preside and says that no re ports or other regular business will be taken up in order to give plenty of time to the speaker who will come from Columbia to give the message.
