Grange Notes Upper Applegate Grange Although formal dedication of the building must be deferred, pending completion of the stage and purchase of necessary items of equipment, members of Up per Applegate Grange meeting in regular session at Ruch school last Friday night, voted to hold their next meeting in their new grange hall on Friday evening, June 7. At that time officers will be asked to bring card tables to serve in lieu of stations, and each member will be requested to bring his or her own chair, since no formal seating arrange ments have been installed as yet. Attention is directed to the change in meeting time from June 14 to June 7 which was authorized to avoid conflict with sessions of the State Grange at Bend. Several important items of business are to receive con sideration at this time. Brother George Redhead of fered his pick-up truck to move the piano, recently purchased, from Jacksonville to the new grange hall on May 26 with as sistance of Worthy Master Men no Bachmann and brothers Glenn Williams and Omar Culy. In connection with their entry in the National Community Service contest grange members volunteered to paint the sign over the entrance to the pioneer Log Town cemetery near Ruch, and the fence around the plot, and to complete clean-up work started several weeks ago by cemetery association members in preparation for Memorial Day, May 30. Arrangements were made at the meeting to do this work on May 27. Sister Anna Scott reported on the visitation she and Sister Willie McLean, of Gold Hill Grange, made May 18 to Rouge River Valley Grange near Grants Pass. The Third and Fourth De grees were conferred on a group of 14 new members, one of whom was a sister 90 years of age. Charles and Virginia Chit- tock, former residents of the Upper Applegate, were also among the candidates, she stat ed. A large audience witnessed the degree work which was per fectly executed, and the tab leaux which were unusually beautiful. Chaplain Kathleen Scovell re ported the death of Brother John Dutton, former member of Up per Applegate Grange, which occurred in the Veterans Hos pital at Livermore, Calif., fol lowing an illness of several years. The display table for the meet ing featured a place setting of the attractive dishes purchased by the Home Economics com mittee for use in the new grange hall. These are soft gray in color, with serving dishes in tur quoise, pink, and yellow. "More Truth than Poetry", an original skit written and pro duced by HEC chairman Edna Sawyer, was presented during the lecture hour. This portrayed a burlesque meeting of the Up per Applegate Home Economics club with Sisters Irene Culy, Mildred Redhead, Cyrena Davis, Grace Buck, Viola Finley, Kath leen Scovell, Pearl Byrne, Gladys Willianjs, and Pearl Whitney participating. At its conclusion, Sisters Helen Has- kms and Maude Bachmann and Worthy Master Menno Bach mann served refreshments of glazed doughnuts and coffee. Sister Anna Scott and Brother Gail Buffington will compose the serving committee for the next meeting on June 7, it was announced. Wednesday. Mar 39, 1957 Windmill Faces Sudden Death Through Development of Sun Heat-Operated Pump BY DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent Englewood, N. J. (IP) Calvin D. MacCracken, a 37-year-old, crewcut corporation president is out to kill off one of mankind's ancient servants the windmill which he says already has one foot in the grave. The wind, MacCracken main tains, is all right for breathing but has served out its usefulness span for pumping water. He aims to harness the sun for that. His farm, Jet-Heet, Inc., a creative development engineering outfit which has developed some 150 items in the last 10 years, has pioneered in the fields of heat transfer and solar energy. Their latest creation is a sun heat operated pump that bypas ses mechanical moving parts, ex cept for two check valves. "It does just what the wind mill was intended to do except it works by the sun's heat instead of the wind," MacCracken said. "The wind is not constant enough. In places where you need water, the arid lands and desert climates, you've got plenty of sun that's obvious. Test Slated "We're building a thermopump to be field tested this summer in the Southwest that should deliver around 2,400 gallons of water a day from wells down to 10? feet deep." Roughly, the device will pump somewhat like a coffee percolat or in which expanding steam bubbles push a column of water up a pipe. It will have three or four sun-heat-catching panels-black-painted, tubed aluminum which will heat to about 180 degrees in the sun. Water will circulate through the tubes, in a closed gravity system, to the pump where it will boil freon, a DuPont liquid that boils at a bout 150 degrees. Mr III iMmmi JDflY mm in eZEEGHDCIIB tlorrinQ m mm WILLIAM CAMPBELL KAREN SHARPE ANITA EKBERG ine freon vapor will push a liquid ireon column against a bladder diaphragm which will pump the well water, alternat ingly flattening and swelling as the vapor expands and condenses under the influence of the sun heat and the recurring gulps of cool well water. MacCracken plans to progress from the pump into household air conditioning by solar energy. His firm is working on a sun run air conditioner. He already s selling solar heat collectors to heat swimming pools. "It sounds amazing," he said, "but the fact is that one of the first uses of solar energy on a big scale will be heating of swim ming pools. I went to Phoenix, Ariz., in 1955 to the World Solar Energy Conference with a ther mopump model. I got five times more queries from the local folks about the possibility of heating swimming pools with sun energy than I got about the pump. "I had never thought about heating a swimming pool. But out there they've got a lot of private pools and pools in motels and such, and they want the water heated just right."
