illness which kept him in
Rogue Valley' hospital for two

Home Economics Chairman
Edna Sawyer announced two
forthcoming events of interest
to all Grangers and other res
idents in the area, the first of
which, a pioneer potluck din
ner and dance, is to be held
in the Upper Applegate
Grang hall on Saturday, Feb.
17, commencing at 7 p.m.
The event, which will mark
the official opening of Ore
gon's Centennial Year in the
Applegate valley, is being ar
ranged by Robert Sorber and
the Centennial committee, and
will feature such pioneer
foods as parched corn, bear
meat, succotash, cole slaw,
corn bread, and the like, it
was stated. :
Insofar as it is possible for
them to do so, those planning
to attend are being asked to
wear authentic, pioneer cos
tumes, Mrs. Sawyer said, and
the dinner will be followed by
an evening of square and ball
room dancing.
A second program in the

Ways and Means Commit
tee Chairman Ethel West
turned in $219.45 to the
Grange treasury as proceeds
from dances held Dec. 13 and
31 and from the classes in
square dancing held in the
Grange hall. She reported a
total of $400.55 raised during
the past year from activities
of her committee, and ex
pressed appreciation to all
who had assisted, with special
thanks going to John and
Pearl Byrne, George and
Mildred Redhead, and Jim
and Mamie Winningham, who
she said, had established a
record for continuing faithful
assistance to the committee in
its work.
Gail Buffington, roads com
mittee head, advised all who
might be driving in the Up
per Applegate from Mule
hill to Copper and beyond, to
give special attention to rocks
in the road, since prevailing
wet weather has dislodged
many of them from the new
cuts along the road right of
way.
House Committee Chair
man Jim Winningham out
lined three projects of im
mediate importance: repairs
to leaks in the Grange hall
roof; finishing the back-stage
area of the hall to keep out
cold air and thus conserve on
fuel needed to heat the build
ing; and installing of a new
culvert to provide additional
access to the grounds by cars.
Following a discussion of
fire insurance on the Grange
hall in which it was pointed
out that a total of only $6,000
is being carried, this being
the amount purchased in
early stages of the building
program to cover cost of ma
terials then on the premises,
the matter of increasing this
sum was referred to Grange
Insurance Agent Edward Fin
ley and members of the exec
utive committee for appropri
ate action.
Past Lecturer Anna Scott,
who presented her quarterly
report, was commended for
the blue ribbon award re
ceived recently from Oregon
State Grange, for having pre
pared and presented the best
1958 Booster Night program
for Granges having 100 mem
bers or less,' in the state.
Quarterly reports read and
accepted from Grange Secre
tary Irene Culy and HEC
Chairman Edna Sawyer indi
cated a current Grange mem
bership of 94 and an average
attendance at business ses
sions during the December
quarter of 40 members; while
those enrolled as members of
the Home Economics Club to
tal 23.
Funds were authorized for
purchase of masonite and glue
in sufficient quantity to cover
the tables in the dining room
and kitchen.
The matter of purchasing a
new culvert at a probable
cost of from $25 to $30 to
gether with responsibility for
having it installed and cov
ered with an adequate amount
of rock and gravel was re
ferred to the house committee
with power to act and to de
clare a work day when assist
ance from the membership is
needed to complete the proj
ect. Fred West, head of the spe
cial project committee, was
authorized to contact the
county court with reference
to further park sites in the
