POMONA GRANGE NO. Is
Lula b. Dyer, Reporter.

The Pine Pomona met March 4 al
Sandstone with about IS present, not
as large an attendance as expected
considering the good roads and wealth
er, although possibly excusable on
account of flu and mumps prevalent
in Pine county.
Master Ballantine presided. All of
ficers were present except two. Re-
ports of the sub-Granges on COM
munity service to be rendered this
year was emphasized and is expected
to accomplish some worthwhile pro-
jects.
Home economics activities were
outlined for the ensuing year. A talk
and discussion was held on better
gardening, also short talk on taxa
ton followed by musicalnumbers and
humorous readings. ~
At our next meeting we will out
line our plans for military and civil
ian defense, also talk on crop farm
ing. 80
We believe it would be advisable
to notify all Pine county Grangers
to make a complete investigation of
the dairyman's organization being or
ganized by John L. Lewis around
New York and Detroit, which surely
will come into Minnesota. Let us be
prepared as Grangers should be to
meet any eventuality.
A social time and lunch was en-
joyed by all after the meeting.
Owing to possible breakup of
roads, the April meeting was can
celled. Our next regular meeting will
be held at the Madison hotel, Sand
stone, May 6. Let's go Grangers!
