MAINE D. A. R. HOLDS ANNUAL FALL
ADVISORY BOARD MEETING, BIDDEFORD

their chairs all paid. some haven't
paid anything, but 1t Is better to
pledge q chair and pay for 1t on the
installment plan than not to do
ANYTHING at all. l went to Wash
ington in April because our treas
urer general In Washington had
written that all the chairs would be
taken and paid for at that Congress.
This was their hope. Can you real
ize my surprise and establishment to
find only 700 chairs had been paid
for in full and less than thousand
taken, either paid for in full, part
paid for or pledged, leaving 1000
chairs still in the market.
This year we will work for Con-
stitution hall, do our share and then
we are all done. Next year we shall
work for our State, feeling that we
have done What we should do for
the National society. To many Of
our Daughters, the National society
Is but q name. AS chapter we
can't do a wholS lot, as a State a
little more, but as a National soci-
ETY. we not only make a stir in this
country but in Europe and the ORR
ent.
The National board Of manage
ment voted to wait until they had
a million dollars on hand before
they begin the building and when
I tell you they had, at the close of
the Congress in April but S325, 900
you will easily see that ii will be q
few years before this will be accom-
plished. You will have plenty of
time to pay for your chair.
