Members of the Richard Ar
mold Chapter Of the District
Daughters of the American Rev
olution have found a way to en-
joy hot summer Sundays in a
refreshing way with the accent
on history.
During the past month. the
OARS, with their husbands and
families and beaux, have packed
picnic lunches and left the
steaming city streets for drives
to nearby historical points of in
tereSt.
One Sunday 1t was a trip to
the cool gardens of Dumbarton
Oaks, and another Sunday the
chapter group took barge ride
up the old Chesapeake 81 Ohio
Canal. Next Sunday, they will
take a jaunt to the historical
shrines Of Gunston Hail and
Woodlawn in nearby Virginia.
Mrs. Oscar M. Martin, newly
elected chapter historian, has
planned the historical outings
and promises fellow members
more in August. Some are con-
templated as far away as Penn
sylvania, in the Pennsylvania
Dutch country.
Assisting Mrs. Martin with
plans for the summer project is
Mrs. Dorothy Sweeny Bland,
who was reelected regent of
the chapter.
