Special guests for the day included State Chaplain Arthur Brown of Salem, and State Grange Deputy Chas. Wicklander of La Grande. Some very excellent reports from the recent state grange session held in Milwaukie last week were given by the delegates. The master, Min nie McFarland, reviewed in brief the nearly one hundred resolutions submitted to the state body. Morton Tompkins has been elected to head the state as master, succeeding Ray W. Gill who completed his tenth year, and was not a candidate for reelection. Morrow county is once more on the map, this time through the home economics department of the grange. Fancy work sent by the home granges to the exhibit at the state convention resulted in one piece being selected for display this week in Mary Cullen's cottage, in Portland. A history of Willows grange, in scrap-book form, held the attention of those attending Po mona. The scrap-book had been in the display at state grange.

Anyone interested in this line of public service is invited to contact the committee and let their wishes be known. The committee comprises Henry Baker, Orville Cutsforth and J. Fred Stilwell. A resolution of interest to every American, adopted by the Pomona follows in part: As the serious short age of rubber in the United States is acute and that indications are that the condition will become more serious unless some new method is put into effect, a new method to produce synthetic rubber from sur plus agricultural products is a fact proven beyond a doubt by various investigators; and as it has been re ported from reliable sources that a plant is nearly completed in the state of Nebraska that would pro duce great quantities of synthetic rubber if material for completion of said plant were made available. Since Poland, Russia and Germany have produced very successful syn . thetic rubber for the past 15 years from agricultural products; Morrow County Pomona goes on record rec ommending that every effort be ex pended towards the solution of syn thetic rubber.
