Marianna Miller read from the old minute book of meetings
at "Avalon," "Plainfield" and "Alloway" in 1870.

Cousin Helen Lea sent an article that was read at a meeting
of the Association many years ago, telling of the Centennial

the event. At the age of ninety she drove about, alone, to visit
friends and to Meeting.

work done in former days.

None of the Standing Committees had anything of note to

Margaret Jones made a motion, seconded by Estelle Moore
that dues to the Traveller's Aid be paid. Motion carried.

No report from the County Federation.

Margaret Jones had been unable to attend the meeting of
the Executive Board and Council of Presidents of the State Federation
so asked Mary Reading Nichols to report on this meeting. This she
willingingly did, telling of some of the plans of the Maryland Delegation
to the Biennial Meeting in Texas in May - of Mrs. Sippel's
Campaign, of a talk by Mrs. Atherton and of interest in "Better
Speech" - and of course for children who have imperfect speech. She
also invited all who are interested to hear Dr. Joy Morgan, who will
talk at the Farmer's Convention on the 18th.

The Meeting adjourned.
