I Jared, urged that every chapter begin
Immediately to create a war relief
fund for emergency" to be raised in
any way that seemed advisable and to
be used if we were called on by the
national society for a specific purpose,
or if it was needed by the state No
request has been made by the national
society for the D. A. R. on concentrate
for any specific purpose. At the June
board meeting full report was given
by Mrs. Scott for war relief work, 1t
was suggested by Mrs. S. w. Foster
vice president general, that the D. A.
+ in Georgia concentrate on one spe-
ciic thing an army ambulance be
purchased by them and presented to
our government, either for service in
this country or abroad AS state re-
gent, 1 approved of this plan, and it was
suggested to you in her letter of July
Sth. Many of the states have decided
or the purchase Of an army ambulance.
Georgia always wants to do her part.
Please communicate this plan to buy an
ambulance to your chapter at their first
meeting this fall, and advise Mrs.
Frank E. Fleming, state chairman of
the war relief committee, Augusta, Ga,
Of your decision, and what amount you
wish to contribute as chapter. The
ambulance will cost about $1,000.
The plan will then be brought be-
fore the executive board when it
meets in November, and definite plans
toward the purchase have been made.
Many inquiries have come to me in
regard to the French war orphans. If
your chapter wishes to donate to this
beautiful work, send your contribution
direct to the state treasurer, Mrs. L.
H. Chapman, Quitman, Ga.
The usual work of our organization
will not be stressed this year, as our
patriotic war relief work must come
first. We must be ready for any emer-
gency; prepare ourselves for service;
be courageous, encourage others, and
above all, pray every day-for prayers
strengthen ones purposes and help to
hold one true.
With sincere love to you and to your
HAPPIER members.

Coming to the Opera House Friday
and Saturday, August 18th and 18th.
This is the most remarkable picture
ever produced. Nothing like it on
earth; it required more than two years
in the making at cost of exceeding
half a million dollars. Of one thing
tie patrons of the opera House may
be certain. and that is no bigger pro-
duction has ever been offered to the
public, and no production has won
any bigger and more instantaneous
success than Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea- There is so
much interest in this picture that Man
ager Dudley has booked it for two days
in order to give everybody a chance
to see it.
