In the absence of Pomona Master
Gilbert Clodfelter, the acting master
occupied the chair at the Benton coun-
ty Pomona at White Bluffs Saturday.
Because of the extreme heat CLOS de-
grees), and this being harvest time,
there was an unusually small repre-
sentation from county Oranges.
Pomona Secretary Mrs. Hartman,
Pomona Lecturer Mrs. Morgan, and
Pomona Treasurer Mr.. Morgan, as well
as representation from six Oranges
braved the sweltering heat to pay us
their annual visit Hartford was not
represented in time to make their re-
port although they were well repre-
sented later.
White Bluffs reported nine new
members and new set of regalla
which was handmade by the ladies.
Benton City was having no summer
meetings but enjoyed lawn party re-
Gently. Kennewick Highlands is going
to have a paper sack luncheon and
reported nine new members. Vale has
been enjoying a concert and dance.
They also report an addition of three
new members; their Juvenile Grange
is doing well and has had paper sack
luncheon. Kennewick Valley has had
fair attendance and their juvenile
members are holding regular meet
ings. Finley reports all well and Whit
stran two new members.
A resolution from Yakima county
for cooperative apple marketing re-
ceived our support. Brother Stoops re-
ported for the athletic committee.
Brother Whitehead reported for the
power committee on gathering data
and getting maps of each district
which, he said, should do everything
possible in their own locality to obtain
the required information.
The Grange funeral benefit which
has been referred to the state execu-
tive committee was further discussed;
the secretary was instructed to write
for their report. Sister Wheeler, White
Bluffs secretary, and Brother White
head referred to some of the work ac-
complished at the state Grange.
The luncheon prepared by the White
Bluffs ladies in charge of Mrs. H. H.
Smith, assisted by the ladies of Han
ford Grange, proved to be equal to the
reputation of the Grange ladies. A
Sunday picnic was held on Sunday to
use up the over supply.
The Grange wishes to thank those
who loaned fans to make the meeting
room more endurable in the heat.
The program, in charge of Mrs. j.
Holecek, White Bluffs lecturer, was
also thoroughly enjoyed. 1t was fol-
lowed by the high school Pep Band

which was an especial treat for the
out-of-town visitors, the selections be-
ing: ION Wisconsin, National En-
blem March, spirit of Peace, Hail,
Hail. the Gangs All Here, Thunder
March, Billboard March, Anchors
Aweigh".
The rest of the program was as fol-

hope our visitors enjoyed their trip
home.
