Community House,

July 7th, 1949. 1,077 meeting.

Catherine Adams was the hostess for this 1,077 meeting of
The Association, when we gathered at The Community House this warm
July day.

Sylvia Woodward presided, and both sets of minutes were read
with approval for those needing to be passed upon.

The Treasurer reported all dues have been paid, and there is a
balance on hand of $31.00

The next meeting will be at Wendover with Margaret Bancroft and
Stella Moore as hostesses, and the meeting will be at 10-30 in the morning
hoping to avoid the intense afternoon heat likely at that time.
In September we will be the guests of Mary Brooke and Edith Greene,
and in October we meet with Anna Bussler.

For her sentiment Catherine read, "Success. He has achieved
success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; and has gained
the respect of intelligent men, the trust of pure women and the love of
litte children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who
has left the world better than he found it whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in
others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration,
who memory is an benediction. " Bessie A Stanley.

Helen Farquhar read about the "Antique Tea", which is being held
at Brooke John's Barn, when contributions will be brought in to be sold
in the Antique department at the Hospital Benifet.

Elizabeth Iddings Cooke a delightful poem of a young lupine's
questions about rain. She asked if wrens ever moved between broods.
She is hopeful that some good tenents will move into a box she has put up.
Some thought they would. We will be interested to hear at a future meeting.

Rebecca Small read some jokes and stories, that closing one being
on the making of a hero, who proved to be David G. Farragut.

Emeline Hill read "How to behave in America", in 1889. She also
told us Edith Hough's book, "Cicily, the fabulous Island", is out today.
We all hope to read it, and hope Louise Hough will have exerpts from it
for her contributions in the future.

Rose Gilpin read from a book, "Poems that live", by Ted Malone,
a collection of familiar poems of yesteryear.

Louise Hough reported having seen foxes quite near the house in
broad day light.

Dorothy Janney told of having been in Greencastle , Pa. where there
[line of x'ed out text] are Martin Boxes around
the Town square, and Martins are busily coming in and out, regardless of
the confusion of traffic etc. Deb Willson told of one in Beallsville
Maryland where Martins and Starlings are both living. Evidently the
Housing situation is still acute in that section.

Deb. read from a church magazine, a story by Mrs. Dunn, the wife
of the Bishop. She told of a trip she took while in England, when she
shared a carriage with "The Limehouse Brownies", won their trust and
admiration, and created an international incident, but nothing else.

Elsie Stabler read some lovely quotations from The Friend's
Intelligencer.

Edith Greene a verse about Venus.

Mary Brooke an old Rockland Quotation from John G. Whittier.

Dr. Crum read a letter she had recieved from The Pacific South
West Reginal Division of The American Friend's Service Committee, telling
