TOWNSEND CLUB

C O O P E R A T IO N
By Mr». Joe Udey
An interesting meeting was held
at the Legion hall Friday, Septem
ber, when a calf was sold to Wm.
Struthers, proceeds of which go to
the club.
A flash from Washington, D. C.—
A report in the cloak room in Con
gress is that once the draft bill is
out of the way, an organized effort
may be made to bring out the Town
send bill for a vote without hearings.
In other words, members will be
called on to say whether they are for
it or against it. Remember, a vote
on the Townsend bill is possible this
session.
The regularly scheduled meeting on
tl^e 27th of September will be held
next Saturday, the 21st., so as not to
conflict with the fair days. The
dance dated for September 28 has
been postponed to October 5, on ac
count of the fair dance. The Town
send club is willing to cooperate with
other organizations.
I The secretary again asks those
| who have not received their member
ship cards to call for them.
The Townsend club will sponsor a
Townsend convention movie during
one of the fair days. Watch for the
date.
Have you ever thought how valuable is this thing we call cooper
ation? No human organization can function effectively without it.
Every employer demands it from every employee.
A member
of the Umatilla County Fair Board says, “If we can just get the
cooperation of all those who should be interested in it, the success
of the Fair will be assured!”
Cooperative organizations are not immune from this universal
need for cooperation. What a misnomer it would be to say we have
a cooperative organization but the members will not cooperate. Let
us all practice this magic quality which is so essential to success.

IMPROVEMENT OF
RURAL M A IL BOX
WEEK SCHEDULED
Next week has been designated as
“Rural
Mail Box Improvement
Week”, according to Postmaster Wm.
E. Logan. The purpose of the cam
paign is to encourage all rural route
patrons to make an extra effort to
see that their boxes are neat and in
good serviceable condition.
One week each year is designated
for such purpose by the Postal De
partment. Unsightly boxes detract
from the scenic beauty along the
highways and attractive homes. Im
properly erected boxes and those in
poor condition fail to protect the mail
from the elements. The local postal
department recommends that names
be painted on all boxes and that box
flags are in working condition so as
to expedite the delivery of the mail.

Due to the annual shortage of
county fair funds, Granges of Uma
tilla county are urging that the Uma
tilla county budget committee in
clude a tax levy of one-twentieth of
one mill for fair purposes. It is
brought out in the resolution that
other counties of Oregon allow a
small tax in their budgets for simi
lar purposes. A complete copy of the
resolution, which was passed by the
Westland Grange on September 12
and the Columbia Grange on Septem
ber 17, follows:
Resolution
Whereas, the Umatilla County Fair
is not adequately financed and since
other counties of Oregon allow a
small tax in their budgets for Coun
ty Fair purposes and whereas, Uma
tilla County is the second richest in
the State, having an assessed valua
tion of more than forty-five and
half million dollars.
Therefore, be it resolved by West-
land Grange No. 837 of Hermiston,
Oregon, duly assembled that we ask
the budget committee of Umatilla
County to include a tax levy of one
twentieth of one mill for County
Fair purposes for this coming year,
and be it further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be spread upon the
minutes of this Grange and that a
copy be sent the Honorable County
Court, the Budget Committee, the
Master of the Umatilla County Po
mona Grange, and to the secretary of
each of the subordinate granges of
this county.
Signed by the Master and secreta
ry of Westland Grange No. 837 this
12th day of September, 1940.
