Clayton County Council
Observes Founders' Day
The Clayton County Councilor
Parent Teacher Associations
held its quartely meeting at
Maple Street School on Thurs
day. February 12, at 10:00 o’clock.
Mrs. Homer Parker, president,
presided.
February is the month when
all Parent Teacher Associations
observe Founders’ Day, a time
when tribute is paid to Alice Mc-
Clellan Birney and Phoebe Ap
person Hearst, founders of the
National Congress of Parents
and Teachers. It is also a time
for local associations to review
and re-evaluate the work they
have done, and to honor their
past presidents.
Mrs. O. H. Heely, program
chairman, presented as the spe
cial Founders’ Day program this
year, a history of the Council
which was recorded on tape and
will serve as the beginning of a
permanent record of the activi
ties of the Council.
The Clayton County Council
was organized sometime in Oc
tober 1946, at a meeting in East
Clayton School. Mr. J. E. Ed
monds, ’ then superintendent of
Jonesboro Consolidated School,
and Mrs. J. A. Suder represented
Jonesboro. At this organization
al meeting, Mrs. G. W. Rowden
of Ellenwood was elected presi
dent, and elected to serve with
her were: Mrs. J. A. Suder of
Jonesboro, vice-president; Mrs.
E. G. Bradford of Forest Park,
secretary, and Mrs. R. G. Dorsey
of Lovejoy, treasurer.
Since the first meeting in
1946, the Council has continued
to grow and to work toward the
fulfillment of its goal. It has
tried to follow a course consist
ent with the Objects of the Na
tional Congress, which seek,
among other things, “To pro
mote the welfare of children and
youth in home, church and com
munity.”
The Council has grown to a
membership of thirteen schools
in the county with representa
tives taking an active part in the
work. Through its activities, the
Council has made itself felt
throughout Clayton County in a
number of ways; through a
Health Program which brought
into the county an X-Ray mobile
unit, a Healthmobile, and helped
to secure the services of a health
nurse, Mrs. Tom Cole.
Many other projects have been
sponsored by the Council, too ...
a Red Cross Blood Program, a
Civil Defense Program, a study
of re-evaluation of property for
tax purposes in order that our
schools and school children
might"be supported to best ad
vantage.
The Council has given life
memberships to nine persons, in<
appreciation of their years of
service. These are: Mrs. J. A.
Suder, Mrs. Knox Huie (awarded
posthumously), Mrs. R. A. Car
den. Jr., Mrs. R. W. Baker, Mrs.
Earl Pace, Mrs. Betty Kilpatrick,
Mrs. Nell Babb. Mr. B. C. Haynie
and Mr. J. E. Edmonds.

program were the past presi-
