Wheatland Pomona Grange has meeting
By Delpha Jones
Wheatland Pomona Grange
met on Saturday, Feb. 5 at the
Lexington Grange Hall with the
master Mike Medlock in charge.
At roll call, all officers were pre
sent but one.
Reports of various granges
were heard. Greenfield reported
on holding their meetings,
pinochle parties and breakfasts as
money m akers. W illow s,
reported on a good Christmas
party, good programs, a turkey
dinner and bazaar and several
chemical company dinners. Lex
ington reported on the Cat
tlemen’s dinner, Christmas pro
gram, Blue Mt. Fiddlers and
repair to the basement of the
grange.
Distinguished guests were
Jerry George, state ag chairman,
Umatilla Pomona Master and the
Umatilla County deputy and his
wife Verla Larson, District #2;
GW A chairman and husband
Palmer Dorris Reid, District #6
GWA chairm an and Freda
Wolverton, past first lady of the
grange.
It was reported that the
legislative chairman was recent
ly injured in a car accident and
was unable to be present.
Ag chairman Barton Clark,
turned the floor over to the state
ag chairman, who gave an in
teresting report on irrigation and
the troubles surrounding this pro
ject. He said that the sheep in
dustry is at present having a
downturn, but things hopefully
will be better soon. Canola is a
great crop for this area, he said,
and in some places seem to be
outdoing the wheat. Commercial
mustard is also being studied, he
said.
Mike Medlock gave a report on
letters recently received from the
forest service, and new opera
tions and rules that are in the
offering.
Barton Clark, Roger Scharen
and Roberta Medlock were ap
pointed to the resolution
committee.
The Umatilla County degree
team will be present at the Spray
Grange meeting in April to give
the 5th degree as it has not been
given in that area for several
years.
Verla Larson spoke on the
GWA work, urging members to
take a bigger part in the contests
at the state level. She said that
they definitely need more cookies
each year. Each Pomona is being
asked to make a quilt block for
the quilt that will be raffled off
at the state session in June. Dot
Halvorsen will make the quilt for
Wheatland. Palmer Larson said
that they enjoy eastern Oregon
and the farm lands. Larson said
that in the valley area where they
come from there are lots of
nurseries, but there is not as much
farming as here. Dorris Reid in
vited the Wheatland members to
Tillicum Grange Feb. 26 and in
itiation at Columbia Grange Feb.
17. Mrs. George recently attend
ed a meeting in LaGrande of the
judicial department employees.
She reported the need to get more
locally involved instead of so
meone in the higher levels telling
citizens what to do.
There was some discussion on
the Morrow County Extension
budget and the need to have a
county tax. This was discussed
and the resolution committee ask
ed to write one at the dinner hour.
A dinner and cake walk was
held. The program consisted of
several duets on the Omnicord
and violin by Frances Smouse
and daughter Cheryln. Eric Four
nier, an exchange student who
makes his home at the Gary
Munkers home in Lexington gave
an interesting talk on his home
Quebec, Canada. Some of the
highlights of the talk included in
formation on the buidings and
how they are constructed. He also
said that Quebec is 90 percent
catholic. Students attend school
for 11 years instead of 12. The
alphabet is the same letters as
ours but the spelling of words are
different. He showed a health
card, and how it works in
Canada. He said he can present
it to any hospital and doctor and
receive medical attention. Col
lege is less expensive there as it
is financed by the government,
except the books and lodging at
about $3,000 a year. These are
supported by a high sales tax in
that area of 15 percent. There is
less gang crime in Quebec but is
bad in any of the large cities, he
said. His father is employed with
the Indian economy and his
mother works as a manager for
a men’s boutique.
Frances Smouse was escorted
to the master’s station and receiv
ed a certificate from Verla Lar
son for a donation to abused
children’s funds.
The resolution committee
reported that Greenfield Grange's
resolution on the control of Rus
sian olive growth in areas where
it is a nuisance be controlled and
a resolution in favor of an exten
sion budget for the Morrow

Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughaa, Chamber Manager
If you pass by the Chamber of
fice, you’ll run into at least three
leprechauns planning St. Pat's
shenanigans. With only four
weeks to go, they’re hard at it.
Two of the fellows will be auc
tioned off at the St. Pat’s auction
with an option to have a family
name lettered on their shamrock
lapel. Brochures with celebration
schedules and posters are now
available at the Chamber office.
Heppnerites are encouraged to
stop by, so celebration informa
tion can be publicized far and
wide. It’s important to target peo
ple with RV’s and those who live
within a day’s drive. The celebra
tion is offering new events along
with the old familiar. Those who
celebrate long and hard can have
breakfast with the Heppner
firemen before they retire for the
night. Families will enjoy a return
of the Wham A Diddle Dingbats
and a possible return of the little
lambs during intermission on
Saturday night. Stay tuned for
more.
Next week the Chamber mem
bership will be reviewing the
1994 draft of the goals, working
on the plan of action, and form
ing committees for the year, as
well as soliciting additional auc
tion items. Give a call if you have
an item you would be able to
donate to help keep the celebra
tion going.
Thought for the week; Learn
the wisdom of compromise, for
it is better to bend a little than to
break...J.W .
