PENCIL STOCK Incense cedar was discovered in 1844
by Gen. John Fremont on one of his western expeditions.
Sawti'mber stand is estimated at 9 billion board feet. The
wood is straight-grained, ideal as a pencil stock, handsome
as paneling, siding and roof decking. Its decay-resistant
properties fit it to hundreds of farm, industrial and home uses.

Hit by Lightning
La Grande -0JP1I Lightning
early today struck a home
here and heavily damaged a
room where a high school stu

youth escaped injury.
The bolt struck the home of
C. W. Hoffman about mid
night. A radio in the room was
shattered, a hole was knocked
in a wall, plaster was cracked,
a quarter-inch piece of glass
covering a desk was broken,
curtains and the roof were
scorched and the window sill
was blackened.
Steve Waller, a student at
La Grande High school and
grandson of Hoffman, was
asleep in a bed in the oppo
site corner from where the
bolt struck and escaped in
jury. The British merchant ma
rine and fishing fleets lost
24,000 men at sea in World

State Grange Influential in
Getting Measure on
The Oregon State range
has been "very influential'
in placing the billboard meas
ure on the November ballot
to outlaw "outrageous" signs
on highways, Victor H. 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."

Ballot
established in 1867 by seven
mid-western farmers who
"saw the crying need of help
in the south following the
Civil War." a person could
be eligible for membership
only if he tilled a minimum
of 50 acres and made his en
tire living from the farm, he
said.
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.

one a ycarttt passes on reso
lutions presented to it from
the 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.

ADDED CO-FEATURE - "UNTOUCHED"
LADIES NIT1 TICKETS NOT ACCEPTED THIS ENGAGEMENT
of the Grange today Is to
make people "wake up' to
these things that are happen
ing in our very midst." By
tiKS Croxton meant the
penetrant of Communism in
the U.S. and its threat to
the American way of life.
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."
