Daughters of the American Revolution Aid Immigrant Work
Michigan D A R chapters back three efforts to aid new arrivals and preserve American crafts. A 25 000 immigrant guide funded by pro rata Michigan support explains U S government rights and citizenship steps at ports of entry and is translated for migrants. A 3000 scholarship funds immigrant students at Springfield Massachusetts International College of Immigrants to train them as teachers. Contests for young American Indian women foster quillwork and basketry, with gold medals and renewed appreciation of citizenship, aided by the D A R national conference and Michigan chapters.
