The Association held its 793rd meeting on November 3rd 1922 at
The Cedars, the home of Ellen Farquhar, where, as always, we met
with a hearty welcome. Luncheon was served promptly and much
emjoyed, after which the members present were called to order by
Marianna Miller. The minutes of the last meeting were read, corrected
and adopted. We then had the minutes of the last meeting
at The Cedars.

No reports from Committees.

Treasurer's report - Several bills brought in were handed to the
Treasurer to be paid; one bill for poster was referred to our
Director.

The report from the Federation on Education was given by
Estelle T. Moore, who had represented Marianna Miller at the meeting.
We were told of the movement on foot to help with libraries in
schools. If a school raises $10 for this purpose the State will add
$10, and it is suggested that the Federation give
some help.

The next meeting to be with Mary E. Gilpin to luncheon at
Avalon.

Ellen Farquhar gave this sentiment.
"I slept and dreamed that life was beauty -
I waked and knew that life was duty".

Emilie T. Massey gave us the true story in detail of "Mary had
a little Lamb".

In recent years a large sum of money was raised to help
rebuild old South Church in Boston from a sale of wool and wollen
hose made from the fleece of the lamb. Proof of the strong hold the
story and verses had gained in the hearts of little children.

Rebeca T. Miller spoke of how necessary it is for people to
know about the candidates asking their vote and by a few searching
questions probed the depth of our ignorance as to what may be done.

Margaret E. S. Jones suggested that the Association join the
State Federation aroused discussion both about that and the County
Federation. We learned that two delegates would entitle us to a
representative at the Council of Presidents.

Hallie J. Bentley brought a horticultural question from Miss
Annie Chandlee and gave us a recitation, "Birds in Autumn" by Mrs. Sigourney.

Fannie B. Snowden read of a wonderful quarry worked during
the time of George Washington, then lost but recently found again
under a growth of trees, many of them eighty years old. The stone
is of fine quality and easily worked without blasting.

Elise Hutton's article was entitled "Grand-children", and told
of the pleasure they can give to the grand-parents, which does not carry
responsibility.
