DAR Chapter Reviews Need
For Resource Conservation
By Beth T. Hearn
The April meeting of the
William Mclntosh Chapter
NSDAR was held in the
Chapter Club House, on
Saturday, the 16th, at 3 P.M.
Mrs. Robert C. Edwards,
Regent, presided and opened
with the DAR Ritual, led by
our Chaplain, Mrs. Edith
Echols, including the Pledge
to the Flag, Singing of
America, the American’s
Creed, and the closing
Prayer.
The President General’s
message, read by Gayle
Snyder, listed many ac
complishments of the
Society, including the George
Washington Honor Medal
awarded Mary Rose Hall,
Editor of the DAR Magazine,
“For the most outstanding
individual contribution in
helping to achieve a better
understanding of the Ameri
can way of life”, for
non-profit publications. The
awards ceremony was held
February 22 at Valley Forge
by the Freedom’s Founda
tion. Much credit goes to our
editor for the insight and
ability to produce fine
coverage of historical ma
terial in our magazine.
The Defense chairman
read a message given in
Congress by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt on
February 19, 1939 Warning
“ Our energy resources are
not inexhaustible, yet we are
permitting waste in their use
and production—We now use
more energy per capita than
any other people, and our
scientiests tell us there will
be progressively increasing
demand for energy for all
purposes.” Additional
coverage from the April
National Defender included
reports by Paul Scott
entitled, “Tampering with
the Weather,” and “The
Nuclear Power in China.”
Conforming to the National
Society’s Theme for the
Year,-“Remove not the
Ancient Landmarks, which
thy fathers have set-”( Prov.
22:28). The program for
April, “Conserve the Ancient
Landmarks,” was planned
by the Conservation Chair
man, Mrs. Eva O’Neal,
Attention was called to the
display table including scrap
books kept and preserved
over the years, emphasizing
historic data used in the
preparation of the day’s
program. Members were
urged to assist our present
Scrap Book Chairman, Miss
Lois Colwell, in collecting
and evaluating factual items
as one of our greatest
conservation projects.
Mrs. O’Neal introduced as
our speaker one of our newer
members, Miss Sara Bond,
who reiterated the im
portance of preserving his
torical items as they occur
and referred to the fact that
history books give little or no
information on the life of
Robert Grier, scientist,
mathematician, and
probably Georgia’s first
astronomer, as he seems a
likely candidate. Appearing
in the February 24,1977 issue
of The Jackson Progress-
Argus an article by Dale
Whiten gave excellent
coverage to the life of this
prominent Butts Countian,
and his home, considered one
of our most important
landmarks, now stands in a
state of disrepair.
The Georgia Heritage
Trust created during Gover
nor Carter’s term has
purchased another of our
Ancient Landmarks, the
Mclntosh House. It is
expected that it will be
restored. In her talk, Miss
Bond gave interesting char
acter sketches of the pre
vious owners and their
contribution to our State’s
history, including members
of the family, whose legacy
we should treasure. Refer
ring to one of our most
cherished contemporary His
torians, whose writings had
offered her most interesting
material, Mrs. Bernice
Brown McCullars’ edition of
Georgia History, so well
documented and narrated,
she recommends it as a
valuable asset to any family
library.
A listing of our Revolu
tionary War Dead whose
burial sites lie in or near our
county are acclaimed among
our Sacred Ancient Land
marks.

YE WHO FEAR DEATH
REMEMBER APRIL
By John Richard Moreland
Ye who fear death, remem
ber April,
With swords of jade on a
thousand hills
And the warm, south wind
that whispers
Of cornel and of purple
squills.
Ye who fear death, remem
ber April,
With moon-white trees, the
new turned sod,
And the bare brown branch
that quickens
Like a sudden thought of
God.
Ye who fear death, remem
ber April,
Earth holds the seed until
that hour
Of miracle when out of clay
Comes forth at last the
flame-like flower!
