Calendar card: Green Mountain Pomona Grange #26 { c. 1943 }
This is a calendar card for the Green Mountain Pomona Grange No. 26. The card is folded in half making four sections. The first section is the front facing title. The second section lists the officers and executives, which includes many familiar last names and James Dwelley of Islesford as one of three executives. The third page finishes off the committee listings and lists the calendar assignments for the year. The final page is an advertisement for Grange-only insurance. The insurance advertisement states that it is for grange members only, and notes that war damage insurance as an offer.

The card is for the start of the calendar year of 1943, and lists February 27th as the first upcoming date. Thus, it was sent out after Japanese defeat in the Battle of Midway (WWII), but before victory in the Battle of Stalingrad, where Nazi Germany's attack on the Soviet Union would fail, mitigating American fears of a potential allied defeat.War insurance was designed to address fears of U.S. insurgency cover damages in case of enemy invasion, riots, and insurgency. This card demonstrates that fears of such damage were significant enough in Maine that the Auburn based insurance company saw it as a worthy offer.
