DAR Meet Reviews
Educational Progress
The March meeting of the
William Mclntosh Chapter
NSDAR was held in the home
of Mrs. G. N. Etheredge on
Saturday, the 19th, at 3 p.m.
The Regent, Mrs. R. C.
Edwards, opened the meet
ing with the DAR Ritual led
by the Chaplain, Mrs. Edith
Echols.
The president General’s
letter, read by Mrs. Julia
Head, brought reminders of
the Continental Congress
scheduled for April, urging
early registration. She ex
pressed appreciation to the
many chapters giving sup
port to the President Gen
eral’s project, “A Bicenten
nial Tribute to the United
States of America.” The
funds have been turned over
to the United States Capitol
Historical Society, who ad
ministers the Art Program in
the Capitol Building. A
plaque will be placed in the
corridor crediting the DAR
for its contribution to our
Nation’s Capitol.
The Regent reported with
pride that th. William
Mclntosh Chapter had been
awarded the President Gene
ral’s certificate for 100
percent participation in the
project, which she received
with pride at the State
Conference.
The Defense Message
compared two specific re
ports from the monthly
Defender November 1976 Lt.
Gen. Ira Eaker stated that
the National Security is
presently in greater jeopardy
than it has ever been, largely
due to our present evaluation
of Russia’s growing strength.
March 1977, the Defender
quotes from the Scott
report-The fact is given,
“over all U. S. Military
forces overseas are now at
their lowest level in 35 years,
and still decreasing.” This
dwindling American Military
presence abroad is one of the
symbols of the decline of U.S.
power throughout the world,
and comes at the time
Russians are building a
number of advance military
operational bases throughout
the world.-General Brown,
chairman Joint Chiefs of
staff, in addressing the
Defense Advisory Committee
on Women in the Service,
emphasized that our country
is in grave danger, facing the
most powerful opponent it
has ever had—Our future
Security depends upon our
maintaining Equivalence
and Readiness of our
Military forces and the WILL
of the American people.
Brief reports of the State
Conference held in Augusta
March Bth through 11 were
given by the Regent and the
attending delegate. The
many phases of work
covered by the 101 chapters
participating had been well
programed and covered.
Impressive memorial ser
vices were held in Historic
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church
built in 1751. Deceased
members of each chapter
were remembered by this
commemorative service.
The Chapter’s Scrap Book
compiled by Miss Lois
Colwell has been placed on
display and brought for the
members review.
In a very brief statement,
Mrs. Loma Redman specif
ically credited to her cousin,
Mrs. Ouida Hamil White, two

geneological lines made
possible for her own two
additional DAR bars,
through a common heritage
shared with Mrs. White, who
had enjoyed many privileges
during her many months of
research and time spent in
England.
The theme for the month’s
programming, “Our Respon
sibilities”, Our Educational
activities was planned and
presented by Mrs. Kathleen
Pinckney, who being en
gaged in the Butts County
Public School system, could
bring to the membership
information most interesting
and the facts given pertain
ing to the many new facets of
education delighted her
listeners.
The present enrollment of
2,680 students ranging from
pre-school and Kindergarten
through the 12th grade,
breaks down to 51 percent
Black and 47 percent White -
The fact that Butts County
was able to make the smooth
transition from segregated to
integrated school system
can be credited to the many
stages of planning made by a
former Superintendent, Lee
Roy O’Neal, who served the
county during the pre
planning stages for the
change. We can be grateful to
Mr. O’Neal for this contribu
tion and for his far
sightedness in meeting any
problems.
Through careful checking
it would seem that every 5
year old child is enrolled in
some educational program
within the county - Head
start, child development
Center, Public or Private
Kindergarten. Federal fund
ing provides for two areas
including the slow learner for
remedial needs and the
handicapped. In High school,
DCT, CVAE, and VOT
programs are being success
fully implemented and a
dream of comprehensive
High School Developmental
Progress may eventually be
realized. Mrs. Pinckney had
high Praise for the work
being accomplished by the
programs now in effect in the
field of Art and Music, Band
for the high school and choral
training in Elementary and
Junior High Schools. Poten
tially Butts County can
become one of the top
programs in the state.
Members expressed de
light for the privilege Mrs.
Pinckney gave in learning
more of our own educational
system and felt renewed
pride in our local system.
Mrs. Catherine Fletcher
added to the program, by a
brief coverage of the full
meal at lunch time made
possible by some help
financially from Federal
funds -a most important
feature for a successful
school day.
In closing the meeting Mrs.
Edwards, Regent, expressed
appreciation to Mrs. Ethe
redge for the privilege of
meeting in her home, which
had been delightful. Beth
