Across 1944 Montana does not otherwise appear in newspapers. The Baháʼí community she was part of did keep up a level of activity. Indeed in February her uncle Edward and another spoke as the local Baháʼís hosted its third race unity event of the campaign at their Center. A couple weeks later another public meeting was held broadening the theme to "world unity". Another community meeting bringing Baháʼís from Minneapolis and St. Paul together, amidst the general society antagonism between the cities, came in mid-April in a convention to elect delegates to the national convention. This was in fact a new development in the broader Baháʼí organization. Previously Baháʼí delegates represented their specific assembly community - now they were elected from the whole state's Baháʼí population. The interest in that year's national convention was high and many of the Minneapolis community went as it was the 100th anniversary of the founding of the religion. This national convention took place among the limitations and privations of World War II going on including limited boarding options in the Chicago area, and wavers and rationing that affected travel. Some 900 were planned on attending the convention from across America and some 1600 plus attended the final meeting at what was then called the Stevens Hotel as it was called then including attendees from Central and South America. The delegates and guests would get a specific printed program. A full text was indeed produced summarizing the first Baháʼí century. A radio program was part of the festivities and a print rendition of the program was made. Members of that year's national assembly elected included Horace Holley, Louis Gregory, Dorothy Beecher Baker, and Amelia Collins all of whom later were named as a Hand of the Cause of the religion, the highest appointed position available in the religion.
