National Grange Week this year comes midway in the centennial year of the country's oldest farm organization. It was in 1867 that Oliver H. Kelley conceived of the Grange as a means for aggrieved farmers to collectively strive for re medial action and form a com munity-service organization. The Grange has remained steadfast to this goal by father ing the major legislation of the past century that changed the face of agricultural and rural America, while at the same time preserving the country's traditional adherence to family unity. It was on December 4, 100 years ago, when seven men gathered around the desk of William Saunders at the newly- TVCC Fine Arts Progarm Starts Saturday, 4-30 The 5th Annual Fine Arts Week at Treasure Valley Com munity College, running from Sunday, April 30 through Sat urday, May 6 will open with a reception in the new Weese Memorial Building Sunday afternoon, April 30.

How ever, reservations must be made at the Drama Department or the college office for tb<* drama presentations. created Agriculture Depart ment, put Kelley's plan into operation and founded the National Grange. After some frustrating be ginnings, the Grange mush roomed into a mammoth organi zation which, at its peak, num bered 800.000 members. To day, the Grange has more than 620,000 members from 7,000 local Granges. Although basically Interested in fostering the welfare of the farmer and farm-oriented people, the Grange has always integrated its program into * community-wide concept that included civic, youth and wo men's activities. For 20 years, the Grange, with the Sears Foundation, has sponsored a Community Pro gress Program, under which national contests are held h- mong local Grangers for com munity-development projects. The last $10,000 first-prise winner, for instance, was the Grange in Spencer, N.Y., which with the Spencer Chamber of Commerce, converted a swamp in the middle of town into an attractive lake. The young have always been encouraged to participate in Grange activities since the national organization's cre ation. Youngsters 14 and over have always been eligible for full membership, and for 91 years younger aspirants have been eligible for Junior Grange membership. Junior Granges have insti gated such following activities; summer camps, group discus sions, nature studies, first aid instructions, bus toursandpar ticipation in National Grange competitions in the fields of art, photography and sewing. Women have had an equal role in National Grange action since its founding — an un precedented position for any national organization at the time. (The Grange called for women's suffrage in 1855 — 65 years before the 19th Amend ment provided for this right.) Today the Grange has wide spread programs for women; besides homemaking functions in connection with Grange Hall activities (4,000 Granges have their own halls, which are used by their communities), and home economics, Grange wo men also participate in Grange activities as lecturers, officers and committee chairmen.
