After this delightful luncheon, the
entire chaper adjourned to the Club
rooms of the Library, and there
our State Regent gave US most
helpful as we'll as interesting talk
on the great opportunities the
D. A. r. chapers have to perpetnate
and keep alive the historical events
of our grand old State. She told OF
many valuable things that other
chapters are doing, and Just as we
read and enjoy and appreciate the
splendid heroism of our ancestors Of
the Revolution, Just so some day, the
data and events which we can keep
record of today win be cherished
with the same pride by succeeding
generations. Our Chapter here has
historical scrap-bok, in which al
events of note are kept. Think now
in hundred years hence how some
one may be searching for histori-
cal evidence as for instance evil

Pageant Committee is so eager to
learn everything of Importance
from the beginning Of our little city
up to the firing present.
