-:-Cecil and Delpha Jones were re
cent visitors at Redmond where they
attended L/M committee and district
deputy school for the grange. The
meeting was held at the Terrebonne
Grange Hall with approximately 70
people present. The meeting was
presided over by the state master of
the Grange, Wayne Johnson. 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.
Following the meeting the Joneses
drove through Bums and Ontario
where they visited the Lovelace
family, and Baker where they visited
Vic and Scott Groshens and other
relatives before returning home.
