the Willows hall in lone. Master
Barton Clark opened the meeting.
Minutes were read and substitute
officers were appointed for the
officers not in attendance.

Roger Scharen of Lexington and
Eulenna Vaughn of Greenfield
reporting
Ag chairman Wilma Martin
gave an interesting report urging
farmers to keep in touch with
legislatures on farming issues and
for everyone to work together for
the betterment of our country. It
was reported that research may
indicate potato skins may absorb
some of the chemical isopropryl
N or CIPC used as a sprout in
hibitor. However, the pulp of the
potato contains vitamin C and
other nutrients beneficial to the
body.
Legislative chairman Ken
Smouse touched on several bills
under consideration, Senate bill
#8, Division of State Lands,
Senate bill #67 Agriculture and
Natural Resources, Senate bill
#116, the right to farm. There
were 600 bills presentd the first
week of the session. People are
urged to keep abreast of all bills
and contact their congressmen as
to their feelings.
A resolution committee of
Roger Scharen, Berl Akers and
Barbara Gilbert was appointed.
Lexington won $50 for the at
tendance contest. The contest will
continue for another year.
A letter was read from National
Grange concerning Grange week
April 11-24. The county deputy
urged each G range to do
something. Copies of the Grange
Week proclamation will be
available for use. A committee of
Dot Halvorsen, Barbara Gilbert
and Eulenna Vaughn was ap
pointed to plan something and
present it to the subordinate
granges.
Jean Nelson, Eulenna Vaughn
and Helen Crawford were ap
pointed to study campaign spen
ding and who provides the
monies. Several commented that
in these trying times there is too
much spent on the inaugral and
that it could be done with much
less spending.
Following a lovely lunch the
group enjoyed the cake walk and
talk by Rev. Stan Hoobing on the
South Morrow County planned
scholarship committee. It is
hoped that the scholarships may
be funded in the coming years as
the Carl Troedson scholarships.
There is much work and plann
ing to be done before plans are
completed.
Readings “ Getting Old” by
Barbara Gilbert, “ A Rural Cor
respondent N ewspaper” by
Delpha Jones, and “ A Valen
tine” by Eulenna Vaughn were
