Casa Blanca 4-H Club

The 4-H Club Girls of Casa Blanca met on November 19 at Barbara Jean Malone’s for a rose Garden Demonstration. The rose bed was already prepared. The soil was mixed and had been loosened about 16 inches deep. The bed was 8 x 12 feet. We planted six roses of which two were Red Radiance, two Pink Radiance, one Herbert Hoover and one White. This first row was planted one foot from the east side, with the plants placed from 1 ½ to 2 feet apart. After the soil was packed around the plants, fertilizer was spread around them, then water put on.

After Miss Cox showed us how to trim the dead and unneeded limbs, we went into the house to have our meeting. At this meeting officers for the coming year were elected. The officers elected are:

President – Velma Frenzel
Vice-president and Reporter – Jarvis Deane Malone
Secretary – Rose Skrobanek
Pep Leader – Dorothy Tompkins
Sponsor – Mrs. M. B. Rowell

Delicious refreshments were served to twenty-three club girls, our sponsor and Miss Cox.

The next regular meeting will be at the home of Jarvis Deane Malone on Dec. 3^rd.—Reporter

P. T. A. News

The regular meeting of the P. T. A. was held at the school house Wednesday night, Nov. 4^th. Due to weather conditions the attendance was small.

Mrs. O. R. Malone was elected 1^st vice president.

The members voted to sponsor an entertainment Nov. 20^th for the purpose of making money to buy school necessities.

Mrs. Robert Wells, 2^nd vice-president of the P. T. A., Dist. No. 11, in her most charming way, gave an interesting talk on the worthwhile things accomplished by the Parent Teacher Association.—Reporter

Thanksgiving Entertainment

On Friday, Nov. 20^th, the Casa Blanca P. T. A. will sponsor the greatest entertainment of the season. Everyone is invited to come and join in the merry making.

The following features of the evening’s program will include: Box Supper, pie, coffee and soda water sale, grab bag, country store, knock down the babies and many others.

The most outstanding number will be a debate. The question to be debated is: “Is Pigs’ Tail Pork?” This is really a side-splitting argument.

The admission to the entire evening’s entertainment will be the meager sum of 5c for each and everyone.

All the young ladies are urged to bring boxes.

Last, but not the least feature, of the evening will be the giving away of a turkey gobbler. Thanksgiving won’t be far off and some one will get this turkey for 10c. See Mrs. Louis Tipton or any of the Casa Blanca teachers---they will explain things to you.

Folks, we are planning a big evening of fun for you. We invite each and everyone in Jackson County to come and be with us.—Reporter
