Community House,
(Falling Green Meeting).
September 1st. 1949
1,079 meeting.

The members of the Association gathered at The Community House
on this lovely cool September morning at 10-30 as the guests of Mary
Brooke and Edith Green. Stella Moore presided and the minutes of
the last meeting were read and approved.

The Treasurer reported a balance on hand of $31.00. It was
moved, duely seconded and carried ,"That we give $5.00 to the Community
Library".

The next meeting will be with Anna Bussler at"The Heritage
House" and will again be a morning meeting, 10-30 being the gathering time
Bertha Crum and Alice Farquhar are the next two hostesses, in November
at Invercauld, and December at Greenwood, the trade in months being
effected during the meeting as each one found the alternate month more
convenient.

Sentiment of the hostesses;- Mary Brooke read a fine one, then
Edith Greene told us "You will find , as you look upon your life, that
the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for
others.

Anna Bussler read of that bore known to all of us, maybe not in
such an exaggerated form, "The literal translator". She asked when to
dig gladioli bulbs, and was told when the leaves are dead.

Rebecca Small an article, "As they are", We should not expect
all we meet to conform to our pattern. what a dull world if such was the
case.

Sylvia Woodward, a delightful story of a Secretary who just
once obeyed an impulse and truly recorded a club meeting. She must have
taken it in short-hand, but it would be fun! She asked if we have the
Butcher bird around here. Some have seen them, but they do not stay
here.

Isabel Wesley showed us a knitting bag and necklace she had
gotten on their western trip this summer. She was impressed with the
handicraft of the Indians, and she gave a most interesting talk about
them.

Cousin Fanny Iddings rea[...]of the Globel Gardens at John's
Hopkins. As is so often the case these gardens,with plants from all over
the world, are internationally known, but a brand new story to Baltimore.

Elsie Stabler read from "The Home Garden", "So Help Me I Like
To Weed". Who of us has not gone out for a minute either just to look,
or to gather a few flowers, and come in hours later feeling tired, but happy
and a little virtuous over all the weeds we have pulled, until we are
brought up short with the House which is just as we left it, dishes, dust,
ironing and what-not.

Elizabeth Ligon read more of Mike Fink, from The American
Folklore book.

Bertha Crum read of Paul Bunyon in Minnesota.

Elizabeth Grey read, for her mother of George Washington the
experimental farmer. Her own contribution was about The Indians.

Deb.Willson read "The Loyalty Test". Of our unquestioned
loyalty to the make of car we have always had. She asked if we knew of
the "Moors" of Delaware. There is quite a colony of these people who
are Indian and negro, but who hold themselves above the negroes.

Helen Hallowell read of Buck Hill Falls, from The Friend's
Intelligencer.

Alice Farquhar, who asked about a dolls hospital, was told
