W heatland Pomon^
Grange meets
resolution concerning hunting
By Delpha Jones
Wheatland Pomona Grange
was called to order by Master
Mike Medlock at the regular
meeting in Spray on Saturday.
Distinguished guests introduc­
ed were Mary Lu Trott, district
#2 membership chairman, and
her husband Ed Trott, district
#2 deputy, Multnomah Coun­
ty-
The meeting was lowered to
the fourth degree for the busi­
ness of the day. Resolutions
com m ittee appointed the
following: Clarence Buchanan,
Bobbi Jo Medlock, Bob Han-
nack and Willard French. The
ag chairman was not present so
the report was a discussion on
the various projects that con­
cern the farmer.
G.W.A. chairman Bobbi Jo
Medlock reported that several
had attended the G.W.A. con­
ference recently held at Green­
field Grange. The Grange saves
old eyeglasses, tabs from cans,
hearing aid batteries and old
nylon stockings, which can all
be used for the many projects
that they support. Bobbi Jo re­
ported that she had received
only two reports, from Willows
and Greenfield. Each G.W.A.
club is supposed to send in the
reports to the chairman, who,
in turn, sends them on to the
state.
The youth committee report­
ed that is is time to plan the ar­
ticles for the goodie baskets for
the State G range. Spray
Grange had held the annual
auction and did well. They will
start enlarging the hall as soon
as the survey of property boun­
daries are complete.
Lexington Grange has finish­
ed one side of the roof and
hopes to be able to finish the re­
mainder soon. Willows Grange
has had all their meetings and
has graveled the driveway.
Discussion was held on the
measures to be voted on. A
G
e n u i n e
C
bear and cougar with dogs was
read and it was noted that there
is a petition circulating concer­
ning this. Resolution #2 con­
cerned pre-payment of Oregon
State Grange annual conven­
tion expenses; #3, the district's
alternate hosting the conven­
tion; #4, optional memorial ser­
vice for subordinate and
Pomona; and #5, thanks to
Spray Grange for their dinner
and hospitality. There was
much concern about the clean
water bill that will affect all
farmers and many other
groups. Members should read
information on this and pay
much attention to effects on
Eastern Oregon cattle and
wheat growers. These resolu­
tions were all accepted by the
grange as a body.
Lunch was enjoyed, after-
which the program consisted of
the junior Grange giving the
obligation to their order and
opening of the youth meetings.
The adults taking the degree at
this time were: Dot Halvorsen,
Wilma Martin, Ann Culver,
Delpha Jones, Ed Trott, Mary
Lu Trott, Mark Miller, Connie
Perkins, Willard French, Beth
Reed, and associate members
Linda Miller, Suzie Gardner
and Marge Davis.
A reading was giving by
Delpha Jones and Mike Med­
lock recited a poem he had
learned many years ago which
fit in well with the measure
concerning the clean water act,
said a Grange spokesperson.
The cake walk was held after
the junior presentation, follow­
ed by the closing of the Grange.
Roll call was as follows:
Willows 4, Spray 8, Lexington
6. The next meeting will be
held at the Greenfield Grange,
possibly at the marina. This
meeting will be the Memorial
for the departed members of all
subordinate granges in the dis­
trict.
