On March 4, 1971, the 1325 meeting of the Association was entertained at
Olney Inn by Faith Morris and Patty Stabler, in absentia. In their absence,
Gladys Stabler served as hostess. She welcomed Ann Brown, Margo Brown and
Mary Reading Miller as guests. The Association members individually and collectectively
expressed disappointment that Faith was unable to be present, and the hope that
she may soon return to good health.

The treasurer reported $36 dollars on hand. $8 was collected, making a total of $44

The next three places of meeting will beMary Lillian Moore in April at Friends
School, Camille Slade in May, and Dorothy Weske in June. D. Weske and Gladys Stabler
have exchanged months.

Patty's sentiment extended greetings to the association. A letter of thanks
will be written ot the hostesses expressing our disappointment in not seeing them.

Nell Beebe's sentiment was a brief introduction to the recently published book by
Charles Lucey, once a Sandy Springer, entitled Ireland and the Irish. The author
has long had an interest in the country. His book does not deal with the political
or religious aspects, but with the land and the people. Her questions was, "what do
bees eat?" She has observed them at her bird feeder. Many others have had
similar frequent visits from bees, which were thought to be searching for food.

Ann Brown reminded us of the importance of the proper directions of education. She
also pointed out the danger of excessive noises, garbage in the streets and other
environmental hazards. On request, she recited the charming poem of T.S.Eliot
whose title is "Naming Cats".

Hennie Chichester told of her recent visit to the Youngs in Louisiana. The
social life of a guest in their home sounds as colorful and interesting as in
the Old South.

Lucy Manning told of the death of Wendy Lawrence's father, noting his
varied interests, and humanitarian services. Attached is a clipping enumerating
some of his activities.

Dorothy Weske read from Frear Stark's Perseus in the Wind, part of an essay
on memory. It is a storehouse of recollections. Pat of the contentment of age
comes from past recollection. Her articulate use of language is most satisfying.

Rebecca Small brought us light to the subject of bores and boredom. Advice,
"Stay alive and interested. To be interested is to be interesting."

Helen Farquhar quoted Abraham Lincoln. "You can not bring prosperity by
discouraging thrift".

Sylvia Woodward gave Lord Clark's assessment of himself as part of the
present world. He characterizes himself as a "stick in the mud".

Dorothy Wetherald made a special plea for peace in the world.
