Pa. State Grange To
Convention
Hold State
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) The annual convention of
the Pennsylvania State Grange is
set to start tomorrow at the Embers
Hotel and Convention Center in
Carlisle and end Oct. 27.
More than 1,000 members from
around the state are expected to
attend the convention, which
serves as the forum for discussion
and development of the organiza
tion’s policy.
This year’s session is being
hosted by members from Cumber
land, Lancaster and York/Adams
counties and some timely political
topics are expected to be hashed
out and voted upon by delegates.
‘The Grange is a grass-roots
organization which gets its poli

form of resolutions,” said Gordon
Hiller, Slate Grange Master
(president).
“Over the years, the Grange has
successfully lobbied for such
issues as rural mail delivery, estab
lishment of rural electric coopera
tives, and fairer prices for farmers.
All these policies started at a local
Grange and were then passed to the
state level.”
Hiller is to open the 122nd con
vention by reviewing the past
year’s accomplishments, and
offering a vision of the future.
With more than 33,000 mem
bers, Hiller said the Pennsylvania
Stale Grange has strengths in its
legislative branch and grass-roots
policies.
"It is in Grange meetings where good legisla
tion has had its beginnings, and where it will con
tinue to influence our legislators as we protect
Grange interests while serving the agricultural
and rural communities."
Hiller cited such legislative accomplishments
for the past year as the Deep Mine Mediation
Project: helping to block the establishment of
consumptive user fees for agriculture as prop
osed by the mulli-state/federal agency, Susque
hanna River Basin Commission; getting tax
relief for conservation easements (they must be
taxed according to ag use); and securing funding
for the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary
School and agricultural research at Penn State
University.
‘There are many areas where Grange policy
must be inserted and sustained,” Hiller said.
“Grange influence and integrity remain high, and
we must continue to expand our list of legislative
accomplishments while maintaining our vigi
lance in Harrisburg and Washington.”
There are about 75 resolutions to be discussed
during the convention, including such issues as
emissions testing, tort reform, property owners’
rights, and agricultural zoning exemptions.
A highlight of the five-day convention is to be
addresses from the endorsed Republican and
Democratic gubernatorial candidates.
Democratic candidate Ll Gov. Mark Singel,
of Johnstown, is scheduled to speak first, at 1:35
p.m. Monday., while Republican candidate U.S.
Rep. Tom Ridge, of Erie, is to speak on Oct. 27 at
9:45 a.m.
“We’re delighted that the candidates have
agreed to deliver their agricultural and rural plat
forms before our delegate body only two weeks
prior to the election,” Hiller said. “Their appear
ances that close to the election are a testament to
the influence the... members of the Grange have
on the election process and demonstrates the can
didate’s appreciation for the value of a Granger’s
vote.”
Additional speakers scheduled for Oct. 25
include state Secretary of Agriculture Boyd
Wolff, and Woodrow Tucker, a member of the
executive committee of National Grange.
