Crox ton told the Medford Cham ber of Commerce Roundtable luncheon Monday. Croxton, who is state Grange lecturer and state deputy in charge of the south ern Oregon Granges, had been invited by the round- table group to summarize the Granges' origin, its purpose and its activities There seems to be a gen eral misunderstanding on just what the billboard measure provides for. Croxton said. He explained that Uie measure, if passed, will not automatically prohibit all billboards along Oregon highways, but it will restrict the distance from the highway of signs that are placed along new highways in Oregon. The Granges efforts to place the billboard measure on the ballot is but one of many accomplishments Ihe Grange has made on the state and national scenes since its founding 94 years ago, Crox ton said. Rural Free Delivery One of the most "clear-cut victories" of the Grange was the establishment of rural free mail delivery in the coun try, according to Croxton. Other legislation, listed by Croxton, that the Grange has helped support and some of its accomplishments, include: The protection of the ini tiative, recall and referendum laws in the state of Oregon. These "rights" was actually abolished in Oregon at one time, but in 1906 the Grange succeeded In ' reestablishing them, he said. The establishment of the Interstate Commerce commis sion. The provision of a Secre tary of Agriculture in both the national and state govern ments. Having stale Senators elected directly by the people instead of by state legisla tures. Establishment of agricul tural colleges, notably, Ore gon State college, Oregon Technical institute and Cali fornia Polytechnical institute. The Pure Food and Drug act. Concerning Fabrics The "Truth in Fabrics Bill," later passed In the U.S Senate as the "Wool Labeling Act," which requires that labels be placed in clothing telling what material the clothing is made of. Public utilities districts in Oregon. Education scholar ships and education loan grants. Today the Grange is fight ing for a more direct approach for the sale of farmer's prod ucts, Croxton said. He noted that today only 27 per cent of the profits from a farmers crop are actually getting back to the farmer, compared to 40 per cent of the profits in 1940. He said, "we are losing our farms rapidly." Actually simon-pure farm- Births H E R M A N To Mr. and Mrs. Charles H., route 1, box 4C, Ft.

When the Grange was first Surgical Supply Firm Opens Here The first locally-owned sur gical supply company has been established in Medford, Robert G. Little, owner of the new company. Southern Oregon Surgical Supply, Inc., has announced. A staff of three employees will assist in serving the southern Oregon-northern California area with medical, surgical and dental supplies. Little said the company's lo cation in Medford, and its estimated inventory of $30, 000, would enable It to give more expedient service to the hospital, nursing homes, medi cal and dental offices of this area. He added that the inventory represents all major manufac turers in the surgical supply field, and includes institution al furniture. Little represented Abbott Laboratories for 13 years pri or to opening the new busi ness. He lives at 1700 Lenora St., Medford. Portlander Finds Way To Safety Portland - (UPlI - A Portland man, Robert Calvin Thomas, 27, arrived safely at his home today as a search was being organized in the rugged foot hills area near Mt.

However, in 1867 some 89 per cent of the U.S. popula tion were farmers. Today, by contrast, only 11 per cent of the population are farmers and in five years it is esti mated, he said, that only 9 per cent of the population will be farmers. Besides the 3.8 per cent of the Grange' members who make their living entirely from farming today, Croxton said the membership is made up of part-time farmers and city dwellers who have "a love of growing things." Crox ton included children in his definition of growing things. Few Granges in South II is interesting to note, he said, that although the Grange was originally founded for the purpose of aiding strife-torn southern farmers, there are no Granges in the. southern states today, with the excep tion of the Virginias, Caro linas, Florida, Tennessee and Texas. There are 331 "subordinate" Granges in Oregon encom passing a membership of 20, 000, he said. Granges can be found in 39 states. Croxton called the Grange storehouse of friendship and a common cause." It is the oldest farming organiza tion in the U.S., and the old est farming fraternity in the world, he pointed out. The . Grange is often re ferred to as being "non-political" Croxton said, but this is wrong. Although Granges arc political they are non-partisan in their politics, he said. A Grange never questions a member's, politics, religion or color, he added. Grass Roots' Granges Subordinate Granges arc the "grass roots" Granges, Croxton said, and they meet in more than 5,000 different Grange halls throughout the country. Nexl in line is the Pomona Grange, which is a Grange on the county level. It is com posed of the local Granges and Is often referred to as the "political Grange" be cause this is where many of the political ideas of mem bers are adopted Into resolu tion form and -passed onto the state Orange lor action. The state Grange in Oregon is composed- of the Grange Masters and their wives of the 331 subordinate Granges and also the masters and their wives of the 38 county-level Pomona Granges.

If ap proved, Croxton said, then this proposed legislation goes to the state legislature or if it is of national importance it goes to the national Grange organization. The national Grange also meets once a year and is com prised of the state Grange masters and their wives. Leg islation approved by this na tional body then goes to Con gress. The Grange maintains ac tive "lobbys" in both the state legislatures and Congress, he pointed out. Croxlon. who resides in Sams Valley, said it is his opinion that Roxy Ann Grange is probably the leading Grange among the 15 Granges in Jackson county. He noted that this Grange is located within Ihe city limits of Med ford and is comprised largely of city-dwellers who have an interest in farming and its problems.

He criticized the U.S? as being "one of the most ana thetic nations on the face of the earth today." He said the Grange is attempting to rid the country of this apathy by teaching its members and their children that such things as liberty and freedom should not be taken for granted be cause they are "not God-given privileges." Croxlon said Granges do not attempt to speak for tha farmer, but do try to speak for the "Grange farmer." Ho concluded that the member ship of Granges has changed throughout the years from persons who make a living from the soil to persons who "love the soil." 1 THEATRE INFORMATION SERVICE CALL SP 3-7323 FOR FULL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR THEATERS 3 DRIVE-IN h 1 CRATE lKE HICHWAVI ENDS TONITE!
