Perhaps no name is better known
among the seasoned workers in the
Maine Federation than that or Mrs.
C.. B. Porter of Oldtown. For
years she has consecrated no
small measure of her time to club
work and has held various offices
in the gift of the Federation. AL
ways has she served unselfishly,
subscribing personality to group
and organization results.
Endowed with an excellent edu-
cation, as compared with the rank
and file of the girls of her day, Mrs.
Porter looks back with gratitude to
the training she received. For she
was educated in the public schools
of Ellsworth, then in boarding
schools in Massachusetts and
Maine, and later under private tu-
tors. Her father and mother pos
sessed strong literary tastes and
even in infancy she was hushed to
sleep with poems and songs OF
merit.
Later in life, when motherhood
crowned her marriage, she never
failed to plan her household and
domestic duties so that there would

1t was the most natural thing in
the world for the Craftsmanship
for Americanization work to fall
to Mrs. A. I. (Maude c. Stewart
of Portland. For this has been
line of activity to which she has
given no little time and attention
in recent years, in her native city.
1t was in connection with the
Portland Woman's Literary Union
that she has served most acceptab-
ly as secretary of the Americaniza-
ton Glass. In this work, she learned
the needs of the alien, the best
methods of approach, and the ave-
nues thru which the ideals of good
American citizenship could be made
understandable to these people.
/ Beyond this particular service
she has a background of club ac-
tivity which is most interesting.
For she has been first vice-president
of the -Conklin Class, was for
three years on it's executive board
and acted also as it's corresponding
secretary duu do WSll
as its press representative. This
club is given to serious work and
the responsibilities placed upon her
were significant of the respect she
commands for her ability as a lead
er and executive.
Again, in the Literary Union she
was member of the publicity COM
mittee; became secretary for the
civics committee; and was chair
man Of publicity for the Fraternity
House.
Still another Portland movement
which enlisted her aid was the
Fresh Air Society, of which she
became a director and the chairman
for publicity.
Mrs. Stewart is graduate of
Portland high. She also is. an Epis-
copalian. Her acquaintance is wide
spread in Maine Club circles.

1t is like taking a little section
out of the big who's Who in AM
erica" to review the activities of
Mrs. Maude Clark Gay of Waldo
boro, who has been chosen chair
man of the Endowment Fund of the
Federation for the coming two
years.
she early became a leader and was
honored with the presidency. In the
Maine Writers Research Club, to
which she has given enthusiastic
support, she is serving as vice pres
ident, besides contributing impor-
tant articles for all four books
which that club has published.
Her writings include: "The Knit
ting of the Souls" a tale of early
Boston; paths Crossing" a story
of Oklahoma; Five Women" a
romance of early Maine; Echoes
from Old Doorways;" Biography
of Mary Boylston, a Niece of Paul
Revere" 1.-THE Garden of the East"
which was a prize-winner in "The
Trail of the Maine Pioneer" "Ros-
alind of Squam Island" in MAINE,
My State" and 1.-THE Story of the
Kavanaughs' in Gust Maine
Folks" She also has been a contri-
butor to magazines and other
periodicals.
Other lines of activity which
have engaged Mrs. Gays attention
include membership in the first
woman's advisory board of the Re-
publican State Committee, chair
manship of the Republican county
committee for two years up to
1924; and during the war period,
service for the Red Cross and for
the National Defense Committee.
She also conducts a column in the
Lincoln County News, one OF the
best Maine weekly papers.

Eastern Maine has given able
women to the Maine Federation. A
new name to be added to the list
is that of Mrs. Carl q. Kelley of
Northeast Harbor, who has taken
the Craftsmanship of the depart
ment for conservation of natural
resources.
Alert to civic interests, to edu-
cational affairs, to club work, she
has had an active connection with
organizations of this order. She is
member of the Friday Literary
Club, the Thursday Club, and is
president of the Outing Club. She
was chairman Of the Beautifying
Maine work at Southwest Harbor.
She was active with the Kicker
Travel Club of Houlton. For five
years she was honorary guest of
the Literary Club of Northeast
Harbor. Then came her period of
service as president of the Mt
Desert Island Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Other activities include commit
tee work for the sale of public
health seals for two years, and the
conduct of sale for the benefit of
the Southwest Harbor public lib
rary.
All this has been thrown into re-
lief against Maine background
that had its start with her birth at
Southwest Harbor, her education in
the public schools of that place and
at Kicker Classical Institute at
Houlton and at Castine Normal, at
tended by special interests in prize
speaking, dramatics, editorship of
the school paper. vice presidency of
the Y. w. c. A. honors as class his
torian and poet; and finally, as
teacher for five years at South
west Harbor, Charleston and Houl-
ton. Her marriage to Mr.. Kelley,
now principal of Northeast Harbor
High, took place in 1913. They
have one son.

be time for self-improvement. For
four years during that period, she
followed the Chautauqua courses
faithfully.
Altho not active in the woman
suffrage campaign, Mrs. Porter ac-
cepted the duties enfranchisement
of her sex brought to her. serving
on the Oldtown city committee and
county committee, speaking on the
public platform, nominating may
ors, becoming active in politics,
aligning herself with the Republic
can party, and going to the State
Convention as a delegate.
She has maintained a close con-
tact with the public schools, has
been active in the Parent-Teacher
association and has often spoken
before the schools. AS a former
president and present corresponding
secretary of Our Neighborhood, she
has rejoiced to see the club coop
Grating with the schools helpfully.
For this club gave the first victrola
to one of the local schools, and pre-
scented a piano to the Herbert
Gray school. Again, it was this club,
in which she is recognized leader,
that marked the first building in
Oldtown to be named for a
woman, a bronze tablet being set
up in memory of Helen Hunt, a
longtime teacher there.
Mrs. Porter rightfully takes
pride in the fact that she was the
first to organize a Junior Club of
Girls, to be affiliated with the
Maine Federation, a movement sig
nificent and promising to the

D. A. R. She Joined the Bangor
Chapter in 1898 and held various
Offices there before withdrawing to
help form the Orono Chapter, in
which she was honored with the
Offices including that of regent and
secretary.
Then there is the Dickens Fell
lowship, to which she has given a
joyous and enthusiastic allegiance,
being one of the first in Maine to
recognize the value of having such
a branch in this State. 1t was the
direct result of her interest that
the Oldtown-Oron branch was
instituted, holding meetings month.
ly, Mrs. Porter being secretary and
Dean James s. Stevens of the Arts
and Science Department at the UNI
versity of Maine being president.
Mrs. Porter's new Office in the
Maine Federation, as chairman for
club extension, means careful PLAN
ming and aggressive methods in this
line. i
Her browning achievement for
the clubwork of Maine is marked
by the completion of her History OF
the Maine Federation which is an
exhaustive review Of the work OF
this organization, published first
as serial in the Lewiston Journal
and very recently in book form.

''MOVING PICTURES"
PUT in ABLE HANDS

With more and more interest in
better moving pictures, on the part
of the public and on the part of the
producers, the Maine Federation
values the work done, in quiet
land constructive way, toward up
building this movement, so far as
Maine presentation is concerned.
The new chairman for this COM
mittee is Miss Louise E. Monroe of
Dover F0xcroft. Her advancement
to this post is the result of valued
activities on the same committee
under previous chairmen. Correlat-
ed, also, is her service in similar
line for the Maine Parent-Teacher
Association.
| A graduate of Foxcroft Academy,
Miss Monroe found delightful en-
ployment for a time in the Thomp-

Then she entered the Office of the

still located.
She is active in the Cosmopolitan
Club, having served as both pres
ident and secretary of that organi-
zation; and she is member of the

TO PROMOTE BETTER
"AMERICAN HOMES

There is story circulating
around Guilford that some years
ago an old friend from Boston came
down into this alleged wilderness
for summer camp-meeting and
here discovered Mrs. J. S. Williams,
Boston University graduate with
Ph.B. attached to her maiden
name of Helen Montgomery.
AS the two friends shook hands,
the Bostonese person remarked:
"Why, Helen, what are you doing
down in this forsaken part of the
country" Nothing daunted, the
Guilford woman came back briskly:
Raising six American citizens!"
While this task has been a ma
jor course in Mrs. Williams busy
life, and she now revels in the fact
that she is twice a grandmother,
she has found time for active in
terest in town affairs, has kept up
her interest in music, given loyal
support to the Eastern Star, in
which she Is Past Matron, and has
been leader in the Guilford Wom-

stab at democratic politics.

To Mrs. Horace w. Hughes of
Houlton the "staff of life" is the
musical staff; and the promotion
of musical interests the keynote
of her public activities.
Ever since her childhood in Can
ada, where her father was a Baptist
clergyman, she has given all the
time she could to music. First, 1t
was to assist her father in his relig-
ious work. She sang at his services
and studied music as opportunity
came.
Her public school education was
supplemented by training at the
Provincial Normal School. at Fred
ercton, N. B. Then she married a
Maine man, by whom she had two
sons, so that there was a period
when she had to give up singing in
public.
Later, as her children grew older
she resumed church positions and
singing in other musical AFFAIRS.
During two years residence. in
Gardiner she was soloist at Christ
Church, and was active in the Ce-
! celia Club of Augusta.
| At her present home in Houlton,
Mrs. Hughes has found time for
considerable attention to musical
affairs. She is now singingein the
Court Street Baptist church at
Houlton: assisted the music clubs
of Aroostook in putting on a music
festival at Littleton camp ground
with William r. Chapman of New
York conducting; and later took
active part in plans for the field
day of the four musical clubs OF
Isle and Caribou, when federation
was effected and Mrs. Hughes was
given the craftsmanship Of the
county committee. This federation
is already planning another big
! musical festival in June.
, Other interests have included war
work; for she was on both the war
savings campaign and the seventoid
drive. She also is member OF the
Houlton Business and Professional
| Women's Club, and has been pres
ident of both the Houiton woman;
Club and the Houlton Music Club.
