Dayton meeting sets record for Middle Eastern district

The Middle Eastern District meeting held in Dayton, Ohio, September 23–25, 1947, with headquarters at the Dayton-Biltmore Hotel, is the first such meeting that the District has held since October 1940 when the District met in Cincinnati. A meeting originally planned for October 1942 in Pittsburgh, Pa., was canceled because of war conditions. The District meeting program in the Middle Eastern District was instituted in 1925 when a meeting was held in Washington, D. C. Subsequently, the Cleveland, Bethlehem, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Akron, and Scranton Sections each have sponsored one District meeting, and Baltimore and Cincinnati have sponsored two each. The 1949 Middle Eastern District meeting is scheduled to be held in Washington, D. C, under the sponsorship of the Washington Section in October 1949.
