Pomona Grange Proposes Changes to State Programs
Pomona Grange directs three motions at a joint meeting with Ephrata Grange calling for highway maintenance surface improvements, school redistricting limits, and reform of the federal feed grain program. The group urges smaller stone for oiling and a compact surface. A resolution favors relief for farmers growing grain only for personal use. The Grange opposes large scale school district redistricting and urges caps on area and pupil counts. New officers were elected: Alfred Wan secretary, Charles Mee Sparran treasurer, Allen Matz overseer, Elizabeth Gehman chaplain, Morton Fry gatekeeper, Ambrose Giffing steward, Marie Murphy lecturer, Joseph Hess assistant steward, Esther Petticoffer lady assistant.
