was entertained by the Finley sub
ordinate at the April meeting, Sat-
urday, April 9th. There was a
fairly good attendance in the aft
ernoon with good attendance for
the lecture hour program follow
ing. Attendance was not large
however, as for the preceding two
months, undoubtedly due to the
rush of cutting asparagus and the
fact that the road south of Han
ford is not in very good shape for
travel.
One of the first matters observed
was the draping of the charter in
memory of Chris Christensen of
Kiona-Benton, who was former
overseer of the Pomona Grange,
Mr.. Christensen recently passed
away in a hospital in Seattle aft
er several months of poor health.
Reports from the various
Oranges were called for. All of the
Oranges report regular activity
during the month. Locust Grove
and Rattlesnake report regular
meetings after having to give up
meetings due to bad weather and
road conditions. The various locals
of the county have a diversified
program covering local matters as
well as legislative and national
matters. Several of the Oranges
are working on organization of
baseball teams and the develop
ment of a county league. Others
are working on plans for the
travelling wheel, others on trying
to develop greater interest in the
local grange thru the development
of program which will tend to in
crease interest.
Most of the Oranges have brought
in some new members during the
month.
A communication from the Ma
tional Master stated that there
were now eight thousand masters
