Wendover,

August 4th, 1949

1,078 meeting.

During the summer we usually have at least one meeting
in the morning, followed by luncheon and after a leisurely social
time we go home before the intense heat ofthe day. Such a meeting
was the one which was held at Wendover on this warm August day. We
were so sorry our hostess, Margaret Bancroft was not able to attend,
but we were cordially received by her associate, Stella Moore.

Catherine Adams presided, and the meeting was called to
order at ten-thirty. The minutes of the last meeting at this place
were read, and the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

The next meeting will be with Mary Brooke and Edith Green
at The Community House, and this meeting also be be at ten-thirty.
The October meeting will be with Anna Bussler, and the November meeting
with Bertha Crum.

When called on for her sentiment, Stella expressed regret
that Margaret Bancroft could not be with us. She then read a good
sentiment.

Mariana Miller read from her book, "On being Eighty". This
time it dealt with sudden blindness. For her question she asked if
anyone knew of a good tree surgeon, several did.

Edith Greene told of a conjunct on in the heavens Sat. night
around 9-30.

Rose Gilpin told of a series of experiences she had had. It
all started with a terrific electric storm on Saturday night while she
was visiting her daughter Elizabeth. The next morning she returned home
by way of Annapolis, for her first visit to that town. The next morning
she had her first trip to an airport when she went down to see Anna off
for Florida by air. The next day, in less than twenty-four hours she
had an air-mail letter from Anna telling of her safe arrival.

Emeline Hill recited, then under pressure, told a little
of her trip to Italy. She has received a fellowship for a year, and
is sailing on the twentieth. We shall expect a report from her at our
September 1950 meeting. We also suggested a letter sometime during the
year, and she agreed to write one rather than take a chance on having
her mother read just any one.

Margaret Jonas read from Walter Pitkins, "The Best Years".
She also gave a familiar quotation.

Mary Brooke read some trueisms, among them, "It is not work
that kills men, it is worry".

Helen Hallowell read a letter from Edwin B. Morris regarding
the printing of the Annals. She suggested a Committee be formed consisting
of representatives from all the neighborhood clubs. Alice
Farquhar was suggested and approved as our member on the committee,
but her appointment was made an order of business for the Sept. meeting,
when she will be back in the community.

Anne Miller read of the distructive snail which has come
out of the Orient in shipments of foodstuff to the west coast. Some
few have been sent thru the mail as curios, by people who did not
know their danger. There's no protective legislation, although steps
are being taken in some California Ports to inspect all boxes etc when
they are unloaded.

We were glad to have Betty Grey with us again. She read
"Opening the Door for God."

Ethel Thomas read "In Wonderland."

Mrs. Anderson, a guest, expressed pleasure at being with us,
then passed some humorous pictures around.
