Pa. Grange Notes
The Pennsylvania State
Grange, founded September 18,
1873, in Reading, wUI celebrate
its centennial with a statewide
year-long observance under the
chairmanship of Miss Mildred
Shultz, Somerset, State Master A.
Wayne Readinger announced this
week.
Miss Shultz will head a 15-
member committee of grange
leaders from as many different
areas of the state. Readinger
indicated they will develop a
program to highlight grange
service during the past 100 years
and to contemplate future needs
and ways to meet them.
Readinger said the Grange, a
non-profit service organization,
has directed its major energies
toward developing a strong
agriculture, better living con
ditions and wholesome family life
throughout the state. Improved
highways, better public schools
and articulate rural leadership
have been among specific ob
jectives.
Prior to formation of the state
unit, grange work made its debut
in the state in March, 1871, with
the establishment of Eagle
PURINA HORSE CHOWS g
for the good of your horse, anywhere...
trailering, showing, or just at home.
There's complete Horse Chow Checkers,
with the hay built right into the pellets. Or
long time favorite Omolene, to feed if you
have plenty of good hay available. Or Big'Un,
that’ll help grow your foals big, fast. Or
Breeding Horse Chow, to help peak condition
your mares and stallions. Or Horse Block,
when pasture's sparse. Or Horse-Plus, for
that extra boost and bloom.
They've all been developed and proven on
our horses at the Purina Horse Research
Center, so you can have confidence in our
growing family of good things for your horses.
Drop in and "talk horse" next time you see
the red and white Checkerboard.

100th Anniversary
Grange, No. 1, at Montgomery,
near Williamsport, an event
marked by its own centennial
more than a year ago.
Designed for the whole family,
the Grange was the first major
institution of its kind to give equal
recognition to both men and
women and placed the home on
equal footing with the business
enterprises that support it, ac
cording to Readinger.
Its service record for the public
good, Readinger stated, accounts
for its long and continuous
history, in contrast with some 500
other farm organizations that
flourished for a time but are no
longer in existence.
Because Pennsylavnia was
organized for grange work soon
after formation of the National
Grange (in 1867) it was able in the
early years to give the parent
body strong support in major
programs, such as freight rate
regulation, mail service, and a
better system of public
education, all of which were
lational in scope.
