Coral Gables Woman Heads State For DAR Work Among American Indians

● Mrs. M. F. Wittichen of 1024 Ave., Asturia has accepted the appointment of State Chairman of American Indians for the Florida Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Wittichen, a member of Everglades chapter, has been local chairman of this committee since its inauguration by Everglades chapter. So outstanding has been her work in this connection, that she was given the state appointment by the Florida regent, Mrs. R. C. Abernethy of Winter Haven. It was Mrs. Wittichen's gift last year of two Seminole Indian dolls that inspired the national society to start an Indian Museum in Memorial Continental Hall. On her recent trip to Washington last week she presented a set of three Seminole Indian baskets to the new Indian Museum in the Department of Interior Building, and Mrs. Wittichen announced at the meet meeting of Everglades chapter last Monday that she had ordered a set of baskets for the D.A.R. museum in Washington. These baskets which are not made for sale, but are used by the Indians in sifting their cornmeal, will become rarer and more valuable as the years go by, Mrs. Wittichen says. Mrs. Wittichen spoke on "The First Americana" in Tampa two weeks ago at a joint meeting of the Tampa and St. Petersburg Women's clubs. Another activity that is engaging much of the time of this talented and versatile Gableite just now is the American Red Cross. Mrs. Wittichen is Dade County Chairman of Volunteer Special Services under which comes Motor Corps, Braille, Home Nursing, Garment Production, Surgical dressings. Serving as members of her committee are Mrs. James A. Dunn, representing civic organizations; Mrs. William L. Freeland, patriotic societies; Mrs. W. B. Rosborough both of Coral Gables, literary groups; Miss Mary B. Merritt of University of Miami faculty; Mrs. Lon Worth Crow, church groups; Mrs. A. L. Buzzell, American Legion Auxiliary; Mrs. Glenn A. Raymond, Eastern Starr groups; Mrs. Harold Berney, Parent-Teacher organizations; and Mrs. Herbert O. Vance, press relations.

Chaucer Chapter Gives Report Of Relief Work

● The Chaucer chapter, Daughters of the British War Relief, has just completed outstanding work in British relief work, after less than three months of organization., The tea-musical given recently, at the home of the regent, Mrs. T. G. Leitch, netted enough money to buy two blood transfusion machines, which have already been bought and are on their way by convoyed ship to England. During the month of February $225 was provided by the chapter and sent to the state chapter in Jacksonville, who was instrumental in getting the 13 chapters to finance the necessary $2100 for a mobile kitchen. In March the Chaucer Chapter through its "Aid to Britian Shop" furnished two fully equipped hospital beds, Anyone who is familiar with the requirements for a hospital bed knows what that entails.
