The house bill 404, which would take away tax exemptions for fraternal organizations is a very impor tant issue at the present, and members were told to be writing the legislators concerning this. This can affect many small organizations, to the extent that they may have to close their doors. Senate Bill #2202 and 2203, self service gas, has been op posed by the State Grange. Bills con cerning the LCDC and the set-aside of mountain lands and many other areas of interest to the farmer are to be considered and the farmer should definitely keep abreast of these. The granges and other farm oriented organizations should have much publicity and are falling down in some areas in reporting the com munity services done.
