Activities In Several Chapters Of
Maine Daughters Of Revolution

Theatre, then Albaugh's was utilized.
Today it's membership has virtually
outgrown Memorial Continental Hall,
which was completed in 1910. Since
the dedication of this beautiful
building many meetings of out
standing significance have : been
housed under it's roof. 1t sheltered
the Conference for Limitation Of Ar
maments, at which five treaties were
signed "In thanking the Daughters
of the American Revolution for their
gracious hospitality in this connec-
ton, Secretary of State Hughes said,
You had dedicated this Hall to the
Institutions of Liberty at home. 1t
is now dedicated to the cause of

AS the membership of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution has
SO rapidly increased, there being at
present an active membership of ap-
proximately 10000, with over 200
chapters, and larger number OF
Daughters from all sections of the

tinental Hall has no logger an ade-
quate seating capacity.
At the 34th Continental Congress
held last April at which $500 Daugh-
ters were registered, 1t was voted to
build a new auditorium with a seat
ing capacity of 5000. The building
of this auditorium can most effect
lively be financed by individual menu
orial gifts and by chapter pledges
and appropriations. AS starting
point in raising funds, there are
1900 chairs to be pledged at the
price of $3.50 each. These chairs
may be pledged for by chapters or
by Individual members or by friends
for some Daughter. A deposit may
be made at. the time the pledge is
made, the balance to be paid In two
years. However. 1t is hoped that
subscribers for chairs will pay the
entire amount at the time the pledge
is made. 1t will be of interest to
Maine Daughters to know that ten
chairs have already been pledged
by Maine people.
