The May meeting of Buena Wis
ia Pomona Grange was held at Tn
Buena Vista Grange three mile
northwest of Prosser. The aftar
noon session while not as largel,
attended as some of the recen
meetings, undoubtedly because 8.
rush work at that time. was !,
good live session. Reports of the
oranges showed that all of the
Oranges have been holding regu-
lar meetings and while attendance
has been small at some of them in
terest is good. Most of the Grange
locals had taken in new members
during the month. The Grange ball
league has increased interest on
the part of many of the younger
people and some of the newer
members coming in are coming
IN because of the league. They I'M
doubleday will get other things
from the organization and will
help to contribute other interests
to it. Most of the Oranges report
that they are in good financial
condition and some reported social
functions which have been meeting
additional funds during the past
month.
Brother Case and Brother Hill
both stressed the fact that White
Bluffs had sent a strong delega-
ton to the district contest held at
Yakima. The delegation included
their band and their song contest
ant won at this contest.
Discussion on the question of en-
tertainment of Pomona seemed to |
bring out as many views as there
were Oranges represented. 1t was
finally moved and seconded that
this matter be run over until the
delegates from the county had at
tended the State Grange and they
had chance to confer with other
Oranges there as to plans being
followed in other counties.
Quite little discussion of Sc
curing signers for the petition on
Initiative SO was held. Plans were
formulated for covering of the en-
tire county to secure signers on the
petition. /;
Some discussion was held on the
question of tax on autos and
trucks and auto parts and bank J
checks and the secretary was in
structed to write Congressman t
sumers and Senator Dill and Jones
1oicing the opposition of Pomona /
20 tax on these things which could
lgain hit farmers more severely j
han any other group. +
