The local unit affiliated with the Texas Con- gress at the first meeting and continue to follow the suggested State outline of service. Five of the members have certificates after completing the Texas Procedure Course for Parents and Teachers. The unit is active in the Hopkins County Council. Past Presidents of the group are Mrs. J. B. Lewis, Mrs. W. H. Brown, Mrs. Malcoln Cox and Mrs. H. R. Shields. Mrs. Brown is now serving her second term as President. Other officers this year are Mrs. H. L. Barker, First Vice-President, Mrs. Dale Smith, Second Vice-President, Mrs. W. S. Manning, Third Vice-President, Mrs. Bob Moseley Jr., Secre- tary, Mrs. W. C. Rape, Treasurer, Mrs. Frank Weaver, Publicity Chairman, Mrs. H. R. Shields, Parliamen- tarian.
