POMONA MEETING AT PAWLET
Friday Afternoon and Evening,
January Is, 1915

Almost two hundred Pomona men,
bers took advantage Of the perfect day
and wended their way to Pawlet to
attend the regular quarterly meeting
of Washington Pomona Grange No. s.
There were large delegations from
Wells, Rupert, and Dorset Oranges as
well as a goodly number Of the mem
bers of Pawlet Grange.
The afternoon meeting was called
to order by Worthy Master Denman at
80 and routine business disposed Of,
also applications being received for
membership. A committee was APP
pointed to draw up resolutions of SYM
patty to the bereaved brothers and
sisters who had lost dear and loved
brother. At $50 the Worthy Master
declared a recess till $50. At 6
o'clock the visiting members were ask
ed to sit down at an oyster supper
Pawlet being noted for the excellent
repasts her housewives serve-and it
is sufficient to say that all of the $50
who sat down to the meal did full JUS
tice to the good things set before them
and their only regret was that they
could not partake Of every dish that
was passed. At S:45 the Worthy Mas
ter called the meeting to order and
after disposing of some necessary
business a class of % were given the
5th degree. This degree is an excep-
tionally fine one and when well done
is most impressive. It was quite well
done, and made lasting impression
not only on the candidates but on the
members in the hall From master to
gate keeper the work was as near per-
feet as human ability could make it.;
with the result that every part fitted
in with precision and there were no de-
lays. The work Of Pomona and her
court was all that could be desired and
the new members all felt that they had
learned something worth while. The
lecturer then took charge and reports
were received from the masters Of the
subordinate Oranges. These reports
showed the four Oranges TO be in good
working order and were keeping up to
the mark set for them by their mas
ters.
State overseer and district deputy,
NJ. b. Roberts, OF Rupert Grange, gave
talk on the necessity Of paying up
the Grange dues and in an able man
ner proved 70 all present that no
