The regular meeting of the Faith Trumbull chapter of the D. A. R. was | defc beld at the home of Mrs. George Preston T large atf The reports of the secretiry and the treasurer were read and Mrs. Willlam H. Allen gave a very interesting report of the state meeting of the D. A. X. held in New Haven March 28 to pre- sent and act upon state business. She aliuded to the messages of congratu- lation sent to the governor and the president and cabinet on the several actions taken concerning the present national crisis. She aiso read a con- cise and enlightening article on the etiquette of the use and treatment of the American flag. Mrs. Lloyd Buckingham, accompa- nied by Miss Annie E. Vaughn, sang most delightfully two charming songs, Blossoms by Cerbett and A Dream Boat by A. Murray Mackay. Mrs. Will L. Stearns, vice regent who presided, then introduced MMrs. George Maynard Miner of Lyme, who spoke on the deeper meanings of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Miner, who is an officer of the national organization, being vice re- gent general of the state D. A. R. spoke from a thorough knowedge of her subject and her words carried con- viction and inspiration to her audienc She spoke of the grave crisis confront- ing us all and the universal desire to heip in whatever wavs we could. She proceeded to teil of the question often asked, “What does the D. A. R. stand for, anyway?” and the impres- sion sametimes felt that it was merely a social organization. The D. A. R.. however, has a very different meaning from that. There are some members of course who have not grasped the deepér underlying meanings. Organized 25 years ago with a few thousand members, it has expanded into a2 membership of 100,000. It has done much practical work: it has had its moral and spiritual effect on the community at large: it has had a moral and spiritual effect on its own membership. On its practical side it has restored and cared for cemeteries, saved old houses, located and marked graves, preserved oid records. It has educated the community in patriotic training and enlightened public opinion. Prizes in schools have been offered. In Con- necticut the now famous Guide Book for the Emigrant o X In the Spanish-American war the D. A. R. hospital corps was formed and carried on a systematic and much needed and appreciated work in pro- viding competent trained ‘wWomen nurses by sifting and examining appli- cants, over 4,800 such nurses coming under their observation. Later a large response was made to an appeal for war funds. Garments, food money were contributed and a steam launch bought and presented to the United States ship Missouri. The same spirit of service exists to- day. What bettér example can we bave? Connecticut is a banner state for work accomplished, yet it is but a fraction of the country. On its work and not its play does the D. A. R. base its usefulness to state and na- ion. Press and public has changed its ai titude to the organization more re- cently. In the past the oniy resource for women was the sewing society. Now they have learned to conduct meetings by "parliamentary law and know the value of orgamization. Every chapter is a training school in these things. By far the highest influence is in creating democratic f and ing down the divi women and the of a greater The ideals of service and spirit of mutual love is greatest of all. Who can tell what the seemingly trifling when service in a society are not to be sounded by the plumbline of the merely practical. the broadening of human sympathies, in the development of Indlvidual pow- ers, Ifi the ennobling of woman’s work and influence and in theé larger vie: of service are to be found the high ideals of tife society. That the ser- vice of the home is not confined in the four walls of the house, that the ser. vice of the country is not confined within army or battiefields, that the service of God cannot be bounded oy church walls, but lies out in the open of our everyfay life. are the society’ per which sheuld inspire eve Da American Revotution. - o e break- o = - supper, served in the ew London, tend: pan: structor in the event of their organ- izing. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held by the company. ‘The banquet table, which extended the entire length of the company's house on the ground floor, artistically arranged with American flags and red, white and blue streamers. Foreman Thomas Gragan presided as toastmas- ter. to the company members urged them to show their loyalty to the flag by enlisting for eervice at this time when the country is calling for men. He introduced Sergeant McShane, whose remarks were based on the life of a soldler from his own experience of more than a score of years in the ser- vice. The sergeant in opening his talk complimented the company officers on the fine representation of young men comprising the personnel of the or- ganization. In regard to eniisting, he advised the members to choose be- tween the regular army or mavy. “If you boys desire to show your patriotism and will organize a com- pany among yourselves, I will volun- ter to devote my spare time to drill- ing its members, so that in the event of an emergency you men will be qual- ified to answer an immediate call for service,” the speaker told his audience. . The suggestion was received with much enthusiasm, as was by the long applause accorded Sergeant McShane when he toow his seat. Fire Chief John Stanners and First Assistant First Marshai Charles H.
