There were only four present who signed the charter 35 years ago. They were Abbott, Straus, Mrs. Wilson and Nealon. Victor Croxton, lecturer, opened one of his usual highly entertaining programs with a short address, telling the many benefits farmers have received through the Grange, and concluded by saying that the Grange is the oldest farm organization in the U.S. and the only fraternal farm or ganization in the world. Short talks were made by visiting masters and other dignitaries, and county zoning was discussed by Charley Hoover and Bill Duggan. Both speakers, while disagreeing on some points, were agreed that zoning should be a local matter, not to be regulated by a county zoning commit tee. Both believe that zoning will be here, as the city peo ple are for it, and they out number the rural population, so we should make a careful study of it and be ready to combat any features that would be detrimental to our Interests. ...

Bud Hoover has made quite a study of toning, and has had some experience in loning and planning. He believes in both, but thinks that in county like Jack ion, with such a diversity of products, kinds of soil, and ways of making a liv ing, that one over-all son ing setup will not do. He thinks a city area tone won't work in a farming area, that such areas should be soned and regulated by the people living there. In other words, they should have home rule. In that way they could have their own inspectors, and a say oi what they want or don't want in the tone. The Hoovers and others who are petitioning for a one in the Camp While area first made a house lo house canvass to learn what the people wanted or didn't want in their tone. Some things they don't want are garbage or disposal plants, slaughter houses, animal rendering plants, wood yards, wrecking and junk yards, no more saw mills or gravel dumps, and no estab lishment selling liquor lo be consumed on the prem ises. ...
