Lex Meeting Lively
By MARY LUNDELL
Morrow County Pomona grange
met last Saturday with Lexington
grange. 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.
Morrow County Pomona grange
went on record to purchase six card
tables for the recently completed
convalescent hospital in Pendleton.
This hospital is one of several be
ing built for service men.
County Agent Conrad reported
that I. Skoubo of Boardman, has
approximately 2 tons of iron rods
for sale. These rods are suitaable
for reenforcing grain bins.
As regular fire insurance does not
protect against fire caused by in
vasion, the government war risk
insurance may be had after July 1,
or when forms are available from
Washington, D. C.
An industrial survey committee
was appointed to investigate any
industrial or electrical needs for the
county. 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.
During the lecture hour the fol
lowing was presented: Song, Old
Glory, by all; talks, state grange
session, Marjorie Gordon and Anna
Smouse; piano solo, Mrs. Helen Nel
son; articles read with comments,

The battle for Britain was almost
lost because England had none of
