The study groups are for individuals who believe that "it takes more than the evening news to understand our chang ing world," and who desire to become informed, to become involved and to understand how world events affect their daily lives, said a spokesper son. Sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association, Great Deci sions is the nation's oldest and largest nonpartisan public education program of its kind. On Thursday, March 2 at 7 p.m. people interested in more information about the program are invited to meet at Twice upon a Time, the bookstore next to Heppner City Hall. At that meeting, briefing books will be available, and a schedule for the eight discus sions will be planned. The briefing book, which costs $11, contains articles that analyze eight topics of interest to Americans. Each article pro vides background, policy op tions for the U.S., recommend ed readings, discussion ques tions, illustrations and maps. Each article also includes an opinion ballot, which becomes part of the "National Opinion Ballot Report" presented to the White House, the departments of state and defense, members of Congress, and the national media. Great Decisions topics this year are "R ussia and Its N eighbors (U .S. policy choices)", "Nuclear Prolifera tion (Can it be capped?)" "United Nations at 50 (reach ing out or overreaching?)" "Middle East (lasting steps to peace?)", "Global Finance (trade and capital influx?)", "C hina", "Taiw an", "Hong Kong (greater China challen ge)", "Immigration (an end to open doors?)", and "Demo cratization (defining U .S. goals)". Anyone with questions about the meeting may call Jane Rawlins 676-9435 or Dan or Doris Brosnan 676-5382. Wheatland Pomona Grange meets By D e lp h a Jones Wheatland Pomona Grange met recently at the Lexington Grange Hall for the regular meeting with master Mike Medlock in the chair. Following the opening the Grange was lowered to the 4th degree to conduct the business of the day. Medlock reported that he and his wife Aloha, had recently at tended an officers meeting at Junction City. They said that Larry Campbell, former speaker of the House, gave a fine report. Many people don't realize that grangers work on many projects, both locally and state wide, that are helpful in many ways. The resolutions that begin at the local level are passed on Pomona level and are sent to the committees that can work on them. The ag chairman gave a short report, and discussed the rainfall. The G.W.A reported that Verla Larson, Dist. 3 G.W.A chairman, would like a con ference in March and Spray Grange issued an invitation to meet there. The invitation was accepted by the body at a date which will be announced later. The youth report was in teresting. Plans include a Junior Grange in the Spray area, which will include youth from five through 13. At the present time they have 26 youth in terested. This group play is an important part at the session in June, with floor work and ac tivities they are interested in. Grange reports were most in teresting. Spray had a dinner for all veterans in that area, gave Christmas boxes to the single people in their area and assisted with the forming of the Junior Grange. Willows held their annual turkey dinner and bazaar and an installation of officers at their hall. Lexington Grange had a Christm as m eeting and reported that they gave articles to the Ron McDonald House. They have a G.W .A club organized with a meeting soon. Virginia Peck is the chairman of the group and Kathy Clark, secretary/treasure. Greenfield holds card parties once a week and had a nice in stallation of officers. A commit tee was appointed to make a portable display advertizing the Grange so that it may be taken to the fairs in the area. Ap pointed were Aloha Medlock, Cherilyn Smouse, Willard French and Eulanna Vaughn. Dinner was served by the Lex ington Grange ladies. A cake walk was held followed by Dave Pranger, the Morrow County Weed Supervisor, showed slides and told of the noxious weeds in the area and ways to control them. Jerry George and his wife from Umatilla County were in troduced. George is the chair man of the state ag committee and master of Umatilla Coun ty Pomona. He announced that State Grange will be held at Clatskanie near Astoria in June. He also spoke some about the imports to other countries, pirces etc. Roll call was taken with the following count: Greenfield, Willows, Cold Springs all two, Spray four and Lexington eight. A motion was - passed that the group discon tinue the $50 prize for the most attedance from any Grange at x Pomona during the year.
