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.
