—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. August 9, 1975 26 Grangers be arranged, according to J. Luther Snyder, the state Grange master. Speakers invited to the convention, he said, are John W. Scott, master of the National Grange and a past master of the Pennsylvania State Grange; Senator Patrick J. Stapleton, chairman of the State Senate Agriculture Committee; Representative Kent D. Shelhamer, chair man of the State House Agriculture Committee, and State Agriculture Secretary James A. McHale. “The opinions of these men, from the national and state viewpoints, will be of significant value to the Grange in formulating its 1975-76 policies and objectives,” Snyder pointed out. Scott, Stapleton and McHale have accepted invitations to speak before the Grange meeting. Daytime sessions will be held at the Fulton Opera House, with evening sessions at the McCaskey High School auditorium. Youth and junior activities will be held Wednesday, October 29, at Wickersham School and Lincoln Junior High School. In addition to delegates from the 598 subordinate, or local. Granges throughout Pennsylvania, Grange members and young people will attend the convention. Much of the attention will focus on 100 or more resolutions dealing with legislation affecting agriculture and rural communities. “The Grange’s policy making sessions will not be confined, however, to just rural life and agriculture,” Snyder said. “The Grange has developed a broad viewpoint to meet modern conditions and we are concerned with the best interest of all Penn sylvanians.” More than 2,600 bills, many of them directly or in directly affecting agriculture, have already been in troduced in the State Legislature, Snyder said. “We need a balanced type of legislation to benefit all Pennsylvanians,” Snyder declared. “Too often legislation is aimed at a specific area or a specific problem without regard to eventual or overall results. Consequently, we often find ourselves trying to correct one problem by creating another.” In addition to Youth Day activities, the Wednesday program will be highlighted by the conferral of the sixth degree on a class of several hundred candidates in the evening. The Monday and Tuesday evening programs, featuring talent competition, will be open to the public, Snyder said. The annual session will be hosted by the Lancaster, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery County Pomona Granges, with Richard Maule of Quarryville serving as chairman of the convention committee. The Pennsylvania State Grange, with 52,000 members, is the state’s largest organization devoted to farm and rural interests. Buck tractor pull results 12,000 S.S. 1. - Harry Griest, Coatesville, Pa.
