 Wednesday. Nov. 21st, Housatonic Valley Pomona. No. 10, held it's fourth quarterly meeting in Grange Hall There was a fairly good attendance compared with recent meetings, but with membership of 273 reported to the state grange, when the votes were counted for the election of officers there were only fifty-seven; which makes the attendance less than one fourth the membership. That looks as though some failed to realize individual res possibility to help by their presence If in no other way. We cannot expect 100 per cent attendance, but less than 25 per cent is too small. The principal business was election of officers which resulted as follows: master, W. M. Curtis, Bridgewater; nverseer, E. J. Ohaffee, Amenia; lecturer. H. W. Treat, Bridgewater; steward, M. P. Rogers, Cornwall; asst. stew. J.. W. Chase, Kent; chaplain, c. H. Chand Ter, Kent; treasurer, c. H. Evans, Gaylordsville: secretary. Adele P. Brush, Cornwall; gate-keeper, John Angevine, Warren; Ceres, Sophia How land, Armenia; Pomona, Alice Becker, New Milford; Flora, Bertha Reed, Salisbury; L. A S. Kate Chase, Kent: executive committee: W. B. Hunger. ford, Frank Kennedy. W. R. Brush. These officers except three, wee In- stalled by postmaster Treat. He being elected lecturer, was one of the three to be installed by proxy. The dinner, under the direction of Miss Florence Benedict, was served to seventy-one at the first table, which accommodated nearly all except the walters. The cleo. tion and installation occupied so much time that there was none left for a lecturers program. Fortunately cleo. tion only comes once in two years, 90 the lecturer has a chance at seven meetings. The next meeting will be the third Wednesday in February, place not yet assigned.

 At Sunday school, last Sunday il seemed to be the general opinion of those present, that in spite of cold, storms and the small number of people we should strive to keep up our ,egu lar church services.
