Mother Colony Chapter of D. A. R. Opens New Season With Program Dedicating Tree to Miss Potter Mother Colony chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution held the first regular meeting for the new year at the Pioneer House Friday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by the regent, Miss Elenora A. Parker, at 2:30 an da short business session followed, of which the outstanding feature was the report of the house committee. During the summer necessary repairs were made and some additions made to both the house and exhibit. The program that followed was of particular interest to the members. It was divided into two parts—the dedication of a new flag and the dedication of a tree to Miss Olive Potter, the first regent to die during her term of office. The flag service was opened with the pledge of allegiance and the song "God Bless America" by little Louise and Edward Gallagher, who were accompanied at the plano by their mother, Mrs. Stephen Gallagher. Miss Jean Louise Southerland gave two appropriate readings on "The Flag." The presentation of the flag was made by Glen A. Peck, commander of the local American Legion, post, and the response was given by the regent, Miss Parker. The company then gathered about the flag pole where the new flag was raised by Commander Peck. Mrs. Carleton Starr, president of the ladies auxiliary of the legion, led the group in the pledge of allegiance, after which Mrs. Frank Gibbs, chaplain of Mother colony chapter read a prayer for our nation, written by John R. Wredford in 1837 and officially adopted by the California D. A. R. on March 10, 1932.

Mrs. Nellie D. Seitz preceded her remarks by reciting a poem "Her Voyage" which she wrote at the time of Miss Potter's death. It follows: **Her Voyage** I see her ship a sailing Toward the sunset of her life, Sailing, gently sailing, Away from storm and strife. But why should she sali toward the evening When for her it is only the noon? Sailing, gently sailing, Her journey is ending, too soon. Oh! her ship is swiftly sailing On the wings of eternal flight, Sailing, gently sailing, But for her, there shall be no night. Through life her ship never drifted. But kept steadily on it's true way. Sailing, gently sailing Into the dawn of a bright new day. —Nellie D. Seitz. She then offered a very impressive memorial in which she used extracts from the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer, the poem "Sentiments" which she herself wrote, and the entire poem "This is America" by Katherine Janeway Conger. She closed with these words—"And in the coming years when this tree which we have this 13th day of September, 1940, dedicated to the memory of Olive Potter reaches its leafy branches up toward the sun and the stars, may it always cast its shadow on a land of the free and the home of a brave, united and loyal people." The chief tribute was presented by Mrs. Charles Pearson in her usual brilliant manner. She selected various characteristics of plans for the benefit party to be held on September 30 at the home of Mrs. Pearl Fergus on South Walnut street, and the coming bazaar to be held sometime during the winter, in addition to the election of new officers.
