The Log Cabin NSDAR met May 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Donna MACY off Glasgow Road, with Peg MATTHEW, Helen HOFFMAN, and Alice CUMMINGS assisting the hostesses.
The program by Peg MATTHEW told of the two DAR supported schools -- Kate Duncan Smith, Grant, Ala., and Tamassee, S.C., and four other schools approved for DAR support. The Hindman Settlement School, Inc., at Hindman, Ky., was the first rural settlement school in the nation. Located on Troublesome Creek in Knott County, one of its specialties is treatment of dyslexia.
Plans were finalized for the dedication of the DAR bicentennial oak tree, already planted at the Parkview Care Center. Purchased from part of a memorial gift fund in the name of Naomi McCRACKEN McHARGUE, the tree honors the first 200 years of the U.S. Constitution. McHARGUE was vice-regent of the Log Cabin Chapter and died July 15, 1986.
The dedication will take place Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Parkview Care Center. Those needing transportation should call Alice CUMMINGS or Buena MYERS. Rain date is Monday at the same time.
The last meeting of the current year will be a 6 p.m. picnic supper at the Jefferson County Conservation Park, shelter house No. 1, with park naturalist Greg HANSHAW. His program is titled "United thus, and thus united, free are we to preserve or replant the native prairie grasses and wild flowers on our roadsides, in our fields and woods." Kathryn DAVIS and Helen MITCHELL are hostesses.
