Robison, HINMAN HOLLOW A 50- year reminiscense of Hinman Grange, the work of its members in education, ritualism and community betterment, was brought to the foreground at the 50th anniversary of the Grange last week observed i Grange Hall.

Mrs. Warren Lyon, long time secretary of the Grange, and her brother Kenneth Augur, past master, both prominent Grangers, reviewed the grange history in a conversational manner bringing out the highlights, and reminiscing on the "good old" days mhen the Grange was the only farm organization bringing legislative and farm and homemaking education to farm families. Hinman Hollow Grange was first organized February 19,1914 by the late George Ritter of Edmeston, then state deputy, with 30 charter members who at first held meetings in the little "Red Schoolhouse" in Hinman Hollow. The present Grange a building was purchased sometime later from George Smith, a farmer; the Smith farm house has undergone many improvements during the years, and much later an addition was built on, and in the early 1950s a stage was built. The first master of the newly organized Grange was Stephen Winslow; overseer, F.

Linn Augur (father of Kenneth Augur and Mrs. Lyon); lecturer, Mrs. William Lattin; steward, Harry Clark; assistant steward, Harry Lingner; chaplain, Mrs. F. Linn Augur; treasurer, Worthy Clark; secretary, George Westcott; gatekeeper, Frank Schidzick; Ceres, Mrs.

Ezra Blanchard; Pomona, Mrs. Harry Knapp; Flora, Mrs. D. A. Burdick, and lady assistant steward, Mrs.

Grace Woodrow. Mr. Lingner, the first assistant steward with his brother Joseph Lingner, both of Oneonta, and both charter members, were on hand for the celebration, as was Harold Salisbury, charter member, the present gatekeeper. Also living but unable to attend were Mr. Schidzick, of Ballston, Spa; Mrs.

Ezra Blanchard and Mrs. Grace Woodrow, both of Oneonta, and Mrs. Fred Field, Hartwick. A shift in population, changes in employment and many family units in Hinman Hollow moving away, slackened the activities of the grange, and from June 23, 1928 until December 16, 1933 (although the charter was not given up) Hinman Hollow Grange was dormant. In 1933, John Chase of Schenevus, state deputy then, reorganized the old Grange.

There were 19 members who had then signed the charter. F. Linn Augur became the first master of the reorganized Grange, and including the old Grange, had served off and on for 11 years as its master. Michael J. Powers, the present overseer, became the first overseer; and other officers, most of them present Friday, or represented by their descendants, included: lecturer, Mrs.

Harry Knapp; steward, Warren Lyon; assistant steward, Kenneth Augur; chaplain, Mrs: William Clark; treasurer, Fred Powers, secretary, Hilda Augur; gatekeeper, Henry Schid- zick; Ceres, Mildred Schidzick; Pomona, Mrs. Michael Powers; Flora, Mrs. F. Linn Augur, and lady assistant steward, Mrs. Lyon.

Floats, exhibits, many community services, such as restoring the old cemetery in Hinman Hollow and arranging for fire numbers in the area served by both Hartwick Fire Departments, were but a few projects mentioned. The Himrfan Hollow Juvenile Grange is currently dormant. Matthias Smith of Worcester, past steward of the New York State Grange, guest speaker, termed the Grange an organization which "crosses religious and political lines" and members meet on a common ground. He said that the Grange is the history of men, who had vision, and laid a proper solid foundation for this rural organization. Fifteen were awarded 25-year pins and certificates.

They included Mr. and Mrs. Menzo Balcom, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Collison, Mrs.

Ber nice Carr, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elliott, Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Jones, Mr.
