Special Grange Meetings Planned

SPOeioi 0IduSe MEETINGS Tldiliieu
A small attendance at West River
orange Monday evening was caused by
the failure of the hall janitor to re-
member that it was Grange night. No
lamps being lighted, the village mem
bers remained in their homes. Those
members who had driven in from a
distance of one or two miles were not
SO easily daunted, however The key
to the hall was obtained, lamps lit
and fire started and the business and
program of the evening proceeded. Two
members were voted into the Grange on
demits received from Glebe Mountain
Grange. An excellent report of the
state Grange at Montpelier was given
by the master, Arthur Cutler.
