In regard to PTA for the Eag-;

are my vie,vs 'ori ' this subject .
l. If '"e ha'd' an organized .

an appropriate- "Open House \vhen
classes began at Eagle River El- '

dent & teacher is proud of and
would have be.en an occasion. we
\\"OUld have all enjoyed.
2. :ri th currently post-
ponin8 thefinal i dedision of 7
to have a separate PTA .
.. each school or. to.

it is now) until March;
would leave apprdximately six .
weeks of the school . term and 1
\\"Ould mean Eagle would. ,
not have its own PT:. this year.
.3. I have never known of an-
other school \vhich. did not have
its O\\'n PT... I see why
Eagle River cannot fo.tm its own

ing later date and in
all ,prpbabi ii ty until the new

would be no need for complicat--

Ri-.;er area and perhaps prefer-
ing to hold office in the Eag-

I '
be given, I think, first
c!1oice as to they
Wh.:h to belong and given their
respective office for the rem-
ainder of this school term.
Replacements could then be el-
ected for the or
offices.
4. It only seems logical to.
me that each of our grade
schools should have their own
PTA organization, each
independently for their own re-
spective school and children
and the needs thereof .
5. The money currently in
the treasury could be di v-
ided. The $1.00 paid by the
Eagle River parents going to
the Eagle River PT;l and the re
.naining staying in 'the Chugiak
PT;, treasury. This shbuld be
than fair. The Eagle Riv
er PT.\ treasury tv ..1ld be quite
small, but we're a

junt starting, and
ca.i' . as our school grows .
Fund raising projects could be
(bake sales, dances,
fashion shows, movies, etc.)
and many parents in the Eagle
ver area give their
full support and par-
ents of the Chugiak .students
be mo:rre inclined to sup-
port projects sponsored by
THEIR school for THEIR child-
ren.
5. On projects such as the
annual carnival, movies, sup-
. porting o.c.n.s. etc these
are the type things which tte
can cooperate on and with each
school having its ottn we
are bound to have a larger,
more interested group. I be-
lieve this tdll be , substantiat

Dear fiartha,
Some very dear friends
of ours aslted our advice
on a very personal matter,
when we told them our op-
inion they did not agree
with us, and finally we
all decided to tell you
their plans and see what
you advise.
This arc plan-
to adopt a child. The
baby has not been born yet,
but all arrangements have
been made. .:hat they are
planning to do i::; tp Hrite
to their families in the
states and tell them that
they are ex) ecting a child
and then pass this baby off
as their natural child.
Ily husband and I advised
them not to do t hi s, as we
felt that if their families
should ever Iearn the truth
it might make for a bad sit-
uation.
They do not feel that any-
one could possibly ever tell
their families the truth, as
they are a military couple,
and never expect to return
here, or that anyone l'lho
might lmOI'I about the ad-
( nex t r.o l . )

option \iould ever meet
any of their folks.
,,'hat \'lould you advise
them?
:fATTING FOR AN ,\NS'.JER
Dear :!aiting,
I am afraid that I could
never a9vise anyone to at-
tempt such a deception.
The effect the truth migh
have on their :family \iOuld
be to what pit
might do to the child if
he should learn of it in
later years.
Such matters are difficul
to keep secret. ,,nyone
who is in the mil1tary and
has been transferred ar-
'
ound very much lmows how
old acquaintances keep
turni"ng up, even a fter
, II
years. ,. ,
Tell the truth, there
noting to be ashamed about
an adoption. If your ft'-
iends feel that adoption
is something disgraceful,
perhaps they should recon-
sider the matter.
.Sincerely,
