I especially noted was the men­
tion of the Sixes Grange which
had that something near pro­
fessional touch which won it the
blue ribbon. The man making
this remark, and I know he did
not make it for my benefit, said
that Chetco Grange had the
better products but lacked that
professional arrangement.
Maybe there is something to
this remark, when I remember
the Azalea Garden Club yearbook
which has a portion of each pro­
gram devoted to flower arrang­
ing. I presume there’s much more
to arranging that I have any con­
ception of. At least this remark
concerning the Grange booths
did make sense to me. I was
pulled up with pride when he
said the products were, in his
mind, better.
Those 4’H youngsters again
stole the show. I can’t recall
all the praise I heard about them
but let me assure the Pilot read­
ers it was nothing but good—
extra good. I recall, also, just a

that the house wc plan to buy

new three-year policy and that
no change is necessary to keep
the insurance in force after

please advise us if this is cor­

ANSWER: It isn’t necessary
to write a new policy but the
insurance company must be
notified of the change in own-
ership of the insured property.
You must have the written"
permission of the company in
order to make the insurance
transfer valid. The transaction
