There is particular significance in
appointing Mrs. Eleanor Washington
Howard chairman of the pilgrimage
to Mount Vernon, for Mrs Howard
was the last Washington born at the
historic home of the immortal Father
of His Country and she is an author
ity on Washingtonia, and especially so
on her birthplace. She is a very dis
tinguished member of the society as
well and has served in many active
posts both in State and National work.
At one time her friends named her for
president general.
