PAUL REVERE DAY is NOTABLE
Daughters of the Revolution Celebrate

! ed by friends who are interested In

which promises to be one of the most
important along educational and po-
litical lines in the history of the or

capital. However, the members Of
the local chapter are looking forward
with interest to the outcome Of the
convention. and plans are already un-
Ger way to have liberal representa-
ton from Hawaii at the next annual
session
Following the reception and exhibit
