Martha R Douglas Pittsburgh Oct I anxious to see the new high way program put thru in the state of Pennsylvania Unless our eastern states careful they are going to find that the west has com outstripped 111601 in facility of transportation Road building the west is proceeding with great rapidity and many western tourists at the con dition of our eastern highways These western states realize that road transportation today is much than a matter interest Tourists bt oil g til into a region by good into that region in increasing quati tities with some of the most the entire country has many regions still unopened and inaccessible In addition to this there conies the increasingly vital problem of haul ing The recent railway congestion has clearly shown that some supple mentary method must be devised and arranged for in order to keep the production of the No road program however which does not provide for adequate upkeep as well as of roads will be of slightest In connection the position boroughs should be clarified and as sistance given The burden thrown upon the small borough by theuse of Us main street as a part of a great highway system is beyond power of the taxpayers to bear Any road system in Pennsylvania which extends adequate highways and fails to care for them thru these small villages will fail of its purpose in the end and only a program which would cooperate with these boroughs and would meet with my own approval W W BUCK GIVES HISTORY OF LOG VALLEY GRANGE The some historical data given by W W Black at the ded of the new Grange Hall cori the old Valley Grange Vallei Grange No 375 was organized in the year 1874 in Odd Fellows Hall at Alexandria by Leonard Rhone f Centre Co and composed of charter members namely and Mrs H G Neff Mr and

pockets and paid the 100 us honest men should do when they trifle with busi ness affairs The Grange lay dormant for many years The Farmers Alliance broke in upon the scene of a shipwrecked Grange but lasted only about six months and was abandoned on ac count of a lack of organization and a sea to do business with and cooper ation the But the seed had by the old pio neer Grange which took root and was reorganized in 1906 preliminary meeting was held in Odd Fellows Hal with the following named persons present A M Allen W S Huyett ters J S B B Miller and myself Nothing was accomplish ed at this

old Grange that we are enjoying the blessings and benefits of the Grange today It was a beacon light through the for ests of ignorance It took the knife and the axe and the pruning blaze the way for a better Grange in the future It was a torch t earer lighting a new way for the farmers in this community The Charter members have all gone to their eternal rest except niy self They were pioneers or by gone days They stood up for a higher manhood and a better womanhood it took courage to be a patron All honor to dusi and peace to their ashes They sleep be neath the clods of the valley and along eide
