The governors present were the Mayor (Mr. II. M . Lunn), with whom was the Mayoress, Mr . Ferdinand Sntalljtetcc and Mr. T. Cation Swaync, and with diem'were the Rev. Canon.Kirwan, Rector of Holy Trinirv. and Mr. F. H . :EltleyJ Clerk. After ica,"the .M.iyori speaking for the -governors, extended a welcome to nil, and .-expressed the hope thnt a happy, peaceful, '.liealthlul year would be enjoyed by all. - Death had, as usual, been busy during the .year. One Hrotlu-r who Imd passed away ' "was Mr. John Hen thorn,. who had reached • the great age of 96, and who would long il'c ri-ow.nib-Ti.J -with affection.

WilliamIon, the Vicc-MastiT, nnd trusted that, despite his advanced age, he would be sp.ired to participate In more of the annual (gatherings. Unfortunately absent, by treason of sickness,, were Brother Gafford '/.nnd Sisters Ford and Ritchie. At, such J• gatherings, his Warship felt sure, thoughts reverted to tho founder of Trinity Hospital, -and there were feelings of heartfelt, grati- •tude. to him for hi- kindness and muni- -ficcncO?- -The building provided bv Arch- 'bishop Ablx.t far from being an •ordinary building. The hospital wns not •only Ihc pride of ' Guildford, evoking •admiration and appreciation, but il probably created envy In many visitors, who Journeyed lo Guildford from places far and wide in order to sec and admire the line • old structure.. Th e visitors' book proved .the cosmopolitan character of the people who inspected the hospital. They came not merely from Europe, but from America, Asia, Africa, China, Japan, and -every other part of the civilised world. -Remarkable as was ihe building, more rc- > inarkable wns the fact thnt for three i*, ~a^hruries it had provided a home for many •deserving, citizens of Guildford. Century -after century,.- year after year, many worthy Gutldfontiaits had been admitted to the hospit.il. where! -they had been ^enabled to live iln-ir remaining years in tpoace, comfort, and'hnpoihess, away from the World's sir*—- and turmoil.

Throe hundred and six patients wore moved in the two motor ambulances,' which travelled' n distance of 3590 miles in the year, members devoting a total of over 1200 hours to, the work. The division, bad not rofused" a -ingle call. During -the year twelve emergency calls to serious accidents were • received. Tho overage time taken for the motor ambulance to turn out was four minutes. Twenty-two members fulfilled all tho requirements of the regulations,. Ono service medal and twenty service badges were held by members. During tho year 05 public duties -were discharged. At thcni over lot) casus ui , minor accidents wore treated. The duties included attendance ut llrooklnnds race track far nn important 200-mile motor race. The second motor ambulance had been entirely freed from debt, nnd there wns n soinil. balance in tho general fund. The cost of moving patients, exceeded tho fitm received from people- able, to pay for the service by uhunt £80, without allowing for printing, postages, etc., so Hint tbe .division had 'still to rely upon subscriptions and donations by the public, who had always been generous. D r . Xniiig, who was vory cordially received, after proving that some Scots-, men hove a very keen sense of humour, outlined tho programme of work he proposed for the coming year. Sir Arthur Martinaalo congratulated th'e division upon a very satisfactory year, and, in the coarse of a capable summing up of the various reports, proved now fortunate the division is in having him as honorary president.

" LYON'S GATEWAY. " (By Florence X . Biddlc.) ' While all Guildford U mourning the ugly disfigurement which tho High Street bns suffered from tho fire on Now Year's Day, there aro a few who leave the busy street and turn up the narrow passage to n point at which there mar be seen the buck of what was the most beautiful fifteenth century house in Gnildford. Thore appears to bo somo uncertainty ns to the name of this rntljor neglected little alloy, although, as a postal addross, it generally passes as " Lyon's Gateway." Doubtless there aro people who remember who " Lyon " was, and why tho place was called his gateway. But names are nothing. The passage forma tho sotting for what used to be tho daintiest picture thut un artist could find to paint. Ovor tho roof of the ruin is aeon the turret of thy Town mate rin 1, and the right kind of intelligence nnd skill In the designers und builders, n now and glorious Athenian Acropolis could bo constructed on tho levelled top of St. Catherine's Hill in our own limes, although our already overburdened ratepayers might not favour -iieh an enterprise! • When wo speak of tho quality of tho nutler in Is and the intelligence of the workmen employed on a piece -of work, at least part of -the foundation of the ideal of beauty has been discovered. Another rock upon whieh beauty - is built is that of right proportion, about which subject alone a thousand volumes might bo written. ,Wo may exhaust our minds In following nut all iho intricacies of the why mill wherefore of beauty, and yet we •nay'havo missed the key to the secret.

Did any of those who recognised its beauty over ask what the secret of tho beauty was? If I attempt to answer the question why a certain piece of architecture _ impresses us ' with" its l.enuty it will be necessary to look vory far before a satisfactory reason can bo furnished.

" b it a case of a wife keeping .her husband?" queried his Honour judge Hnrington at tho County Court yesterday. ' - M r . Trigs.- Turner replied*in .the negative. The Judge's question' was • prompted hv* a*.-singular case, i n which Arthur George Duerre, a initclumikcr, etc., living at; Clarcmont; BalUie Road, sued his wife, living in Chelsea, for Yti duo under a separation order. At tho outset M r B. B. Wells, for Mrs. D iierre, 'objected to the jurisdiction of the court. The action ought to be instituted, in tho district in "which Mrs. Duerre resided, not. where her husband lived.. A deed of separation -between the couple was dated March ,27th, WHS. One of the covenants was that so long as - the couple lived separately Mrs. Duerre 'should pay her husband IPs. weekly-out of tho profits of the business. "Curious 1" observed the Judge, who added, "Is it a case of a wife Keeping her husband?" - Mr . Triggs Turner, for plaintiff, said that there had been actions in the High Court, the,Police' Court, and the Conner Court. The 'husband relinquished his business to his wife, subject -to ihe stipulation that she paid him 10s, per week. "* That'- was the end of the quarrel between the two." Defendant had to par the lOe. "as plaintiff shall direct." His direction, per Mr . Turner, . was that the" money should be paid to I him in Guildford. . Now Mrs. -Buerre said to her husband, "Yo u must come to Chelsea for tho money."'- M r , Wells: For a long tiiuo tho money was paid at Cliclsen, when plaintiff was living there. Defendant i; not bound to send the money to her husband by post, ut a cost of Id. a week. "'The objection is highly technical.' and it sceins rather absurd." _o1i-orved Ihe Judge. Mr. Triggs Turner naked Mr . Wells what he thought would happen assuming that; plaintiff lived abroad or hundreds of miles away. Tho Judge over-ruled Mr.. Weill,' objection to tho jurisdiction of tho Court, and, with the remark that defendant could, i i she liked, deduct iho cost of postage and puundugc from • the weekly nnyment of' 10s.-, gave plaintiff the verdict.

FENTU M PHILLIPS RESIGNS T H E CI IURCI1WARDENSI HP. The annual vestry and parochial Church meeting of Stoke Parish Church and Christ Church were In Stoke Institute on Wednesday evening. The Rector (the Rev. Grnmlcy C . Martin)', who presided, explained that, owing to (he passing of the Enabling Bill, the two' meetings would be held together in the future. The only business for the vestry meeting was the election of churchwardens. • It seemed to the Rector to be extraordinary thai the new Act did not render il compulsory to hold the meeting at the beginning of the year, Instead of ul Easter.' By holding the meeting in the early part .if the year everything would be in pi rfect working order. The churchwan lens, with the Incumbent, were tin standing committee of the Church Council, Mr. Martin hoped .that no one would try lo minimise the office of churchwarden— an office which went far back in history. Colonel Savage asked when the Bishop would " introduce " the churchwardens * The Rector replied that the workings of tin: new Act were not yet quite clear. In the best Interests'of the parish, the vestry meeting, where ihe churchwardens were elected, und ihc parochial church meeting, were being held simultaneously. Those who framed the Act were anxious not to deprive |>ar»hioncrs of their right to attend the vesiry. The Rector could .not say when the Archdeacon would hold the office of admitting the cliurchwardcns. Colonel Savage suggested that the lime of the' ]iarochial church meeting ought to be altered, in order that the accounts might first go before the Church' Council. The Rector replied that (he date of the meeting had been settled by the Council, Churchwardens re-elected. .The'. Rector stated that Lieut.-Colonel M . Cotissmakcr had allowed himself to be again nominated as the Rector's warden Tor Stoke. On the proposal - of Mr. R. T. Billing, seconded by Mr. F. H . Marlled, Mr. li . Fen turn Phillips was reelected people's warden. M r . A : H . Olds, and Miss Stafford, who was prevented attending by illness,' were re-elected churchwardens of Chrisl Church. £ s. a. Mr. I'liiiuni Phillip- stand tluu the iota) 'receipts for the Parish Church from April 1st to December 31st. 1921, amounted lo £201 12s.lid., and the expenditure to £203 IU.6tL, leaving .a debit balance of £ 1 ISs.fid. To set against the balance some accounts had been paid to the end of the year, so the church might be considered to bo quite out of debt. Mr. A. II. Olds, on behalf of Christ Church, 'presented accounts which had been compiled by Colonel Cpnssmnicer. The year started last April with a debit, balance of £3 0 1U.5f,P. for Jlarrow the .youngest Parliamentarian—who a year or two ago married Lady Cynthia Clinton,, tlaughter. of tlie "Marquis Ciirron, has purchased a residence in the vicinity of 'Guildford—the old Manor House -at Upper Hold, formerly occupied by Lady Colcbrooke. STOCKS AND SHARES. A better feeling has been in evidence1 in the stock markets during the last few days, and prices aro higher in consequence. Particularly has this been so in the gilt-edged section. Conversion Loon, Funding Loan, and tho &% War Loan have been notably strong, in a very firm market. Homo railway 'stocks nro good. There docs not appear to be a lot of stock about, and, though tho demand has not been groat, prices have taken a very sharp turn, upward. American stocks aro lower on weak advices from Wall St root.

" A New Arrangement DO YOU KNOW that it is now possible for a Local Authority to borrow half the money invested locally in Savings Certificates in order to provide capital for any work for which the Authority is authorised to obtain loans ? THIS MEANS that a new source of capita) of the very best kind, created by thrift and real saving, becomes available for the Local Authority for purposes of general local development — just at ihc time when it is most needed to finance schemes of work for the relief of unemployment. YOU CAN HELP your Local Authority to take the fullest advantage of this arrangement, firstly, by buying your Savings Certificates locally; secondly, by buying as many of them as you can afford ; ana thirdly, by persuading others to do likewise. You will be investing in a highly profitable and absolutely sound National security, and will have also the satisfaction ox knowing that your money is becoming immediately available for local needs.

When Mr, Lloyd George became Minister of Munitions an important appointment was offered him. fie filled it lo the cad of the war, con. sis leu I ly refusing all offers of remuneration. Hi- methods were 'surprising, in -nine ease- disconcerting, to his colleagues, hut he war, no successful that they were soon glnd lo follow' his lend. Ills co-operation was especial)* valuable in dealing with tho trade dispute* and labour difficulties, which were constantly arising. Still In the cnrlv " forties." with a wide ami varied experience of banking, commerce, and finance, Sir John has spvcinlb-rd on the f|iit">lionH of the stabilisation of exchanges and financial reconstruction, jn which connection his advice hu* been of the greatest assistance lo the Government.

I.adr Jirvls. Sir John will tell you that hi* Success is due to the fortunate possesion of a mothcmaticnl mind. This Is nly part of tho truth.' His abilities as 1 mathematician are almost uncanny, and ho is a born organiser, with a " appy enthusiasm and a boyishly infectious " torn of the game." Give him problem, afford hint the opportunity of asking a few searching questions, and in a few moments, as if by a Bush of inspiration, ha will hare n 'scheme for dealing with the difficulty- complete in every detail. For instance, jn 1014, when the Germans were sweeping over Belgian.territory, ihoinnnds 01 refugees were fleeing before the invader, and were being brought to this country. One Sunday morning Sir John heard that accommodation was wanted fur a number of the refngee*. By two o'clock lie had gathered together a band of workers: by five o'clock an appeal for furniture, helpers, interpreters and money had been issued; hy eight o'clock il was announced that u bouse hail been secured, tin- furniture promised, and stiffii-icnt funds rendered available lo suii|iort a large parly of refugee*; by Tuesday the house vn» furnished; and i-v Wi-ihn-diiv the refugees were in re*ith%iee!

Godalming has lost a mpccied and skilful mason. Born near Gloucester In 1847, Mr. Avery, with three of his brothers, came to Godalming in 1870, 10 assist in the building of Charterhouse School. When the outlying; hou»es were completed, five years later, Mr. Win. Avery wit the only one of the four brother* 10 remain in ibis part of the country. For a short time he was engaged on work at the Parish Church, with Mr. IL Edging!on, whose death occurred only last week. Mr. Avery then worked for Messrs: Mitchell Brothers, of Shalford, and' was foreman jnason to them tor twenty-five years. He married a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. .James Peto, who then occupied the same house in Church Road, and went, 10 live there, and there nine children were born—six boys and three girls: seven arc still in the town. All the boys were taught masonry, and all but two still follow that Calling. The two brothers who started hi business for themselves twcnlv years ago are well known, not only in Farncombe, where they work, but, to builders especially, for miles around. Mr. Avery retired' ten years ago.1 Ha had always hi en a keen gardener.; A member of the Farncombe Allotment Association from its formation, he was one of. the original trustees when the land was acquired from Genera) Marshall. Mis. Avery predeceased her husband by thirteen years. The funeral will be at Ihe Old Cemetery in-morrow (Sntutday). APATHETIC ALLOTMENT HOLDERS. " The apathy of members of the Farncombe and District' Workingtncn'* Allotment Association, provoked an outburst fioin Mr. A. Mitchell, a member of 'ihc committee, at the quarterly meeting on Wednesday. Mr. II. .11 .il ford presided. Only, nineteen members of -670 were present. Mr. Mitchell wanted members to realise that the committee felt very much discouraged by the apathetic feeling of the allotment holders. It was all very well for them to say that the committee was all right. Personally, he did not mind working—he.' would do anything for any* body—but It was " up " to the allotmentholder in do something for himself, - He ought to attend the quarterly meeting and let ihe committee know exactly bow things were going on. Mr. 'Mitchell was greatly disappointed at the result of the last Town Council election, when two of .the committee men of the Association were unsuccessful. The committee did Its best, but, to a certain extent, It seemed to be treated with contempt. The feeling of some of. the members appeared to be lhat commit lee men were the biggest fools for working, and that they could " get on " with it. It was'about time the feeling vanished. It was not right that the secretary or a committee man should have to run round to collect rents. Unless allotment-holders took more Interest in matters 1 hey would have to elect a fresh committee. Mr. Mitchell was nearly "fed up." A member, who defended Farncombe allotment-holders, thought that the trouble with rents concerned the Holloway Hill ground. Mr. Mitchell denied any reference to Fnrncombe. lie could not mention It nt Godalming because the Association did not hold .1' meeting there. - The Secretary (Mr. W. Mayers) said that the position with the Children's Recreation 'Ground was that the Association would have to give it up at the end of this year. Although some unpleasant things had been said, die association had come out of the matter with clean hands. Unfortunately, they would have to give up the rouche-field on December 1st. Mr. Wight men 1 could no longer spare the ground. "* War " - allotments also would end at the close of the year.* Possibly, what-ground was left would be handed to the association" to look after, Ihe Town Council seemed to want lo wash its hands of the whole movement. The "grounds on Ilolloway Hilt could only be continued by 1*11 n sein, but the association would do Irs hesi lo keep them going. There was sympathetic reference to the loss by. death of two members—Mr. W. Page "and Mr. W. Avery. ASLEEP ON TH E STAGE. There were two unrehearsed incidents during an' entertainment nt the Mcnth Home on Wednesday afternoon. The first part of the programme consisted of a dream of nursery rhymes. In which all the parts were sustained hy patients, who were also members of the MeatH Home Troop of Girl Guides. The leading part of " Boy Blue " was efficiently rendered by Rita Festell. Tina McDonald made him an admirable partner in ihe role of " Curly Locks." In the protracted and comfortable part of the," child asleep," Iris Dunn more than realised expectations. When there arrived -the time for the actors to acknowledge the applause. Iris was asleep In reality I The usual stage whispers were far from being sufficient to rouse her, and there was vigorous shaking, iris being evidently tired and a heavy sleeper. After the same girls bad contributed a part-song, under the guidance of Miss Bullen, the platform was vacated for the orchestra. A slight accident occurred during the interval, a targe piece of stage scenery falling upon Mrs. Pilchcr. Fortunately, there were no ill-effects. The remainder of the programme was d*voted to .selection* by eight members of the Godalming orchestra, under the lendership'of- Mr. E. W. Verstngc: violin solos by Miss B. Norman and Mr. W. Tnicble; and songs. Miss Fltton-Adams was exrelent in "The songs my mother sang " and " My Ships," and Miss N . pilrher rendered, " Thank God for a garden." Wayfarer's Night Song," and "Though ihe sliver moon were mine." The accompaniments were by Mrs, Hartfree and Miss M . Fttton-Adams. ".

Sir Arthur Newsholmc, of Ashley House, was summoned at Guildford, on Monday, for having caused an obstruction tn .High Street, and for falling to produce his license, B.C. Nbrris said that tho car was outside the County Club for-forty-five minutes on the morning of December 24th. A back wheel of the car was five feet from the kerb. Defendant told witness that he had loft bis license n't home. . Cross-examined, the constable said that the traffic was at one lime blocked from Market Street to Ram Corner. He denied expressing the view that it would be useless for defendant 10 see the Chief Constable during the-Christmas holidays. Sir Arthur said that he had some dis. •ingulshed visitors from Scotland —Sir Leslie and Lady Mackenzie. He took ihem over Abbot's -Hospital, and the visit lasted longer than he expected. In drawing up he placed his car as close as Dos-lble to the kerb, but a motor-car and side-car prevented him getting nearer. He left* his car close lo the constable, under ihe impression that by so doing he would be under his protection. He was not obstructing traffic more than Ihe constable was; That was the ordinary and commonsense Interpretation of the word " obstruction." Such light regulations with regard in the " parking" of ears, rendered II extremely difficult for residents in the country to shop in Guildford. - The Bench were unanimously of opinion that It was a serious obstruction. Much latitude was allowed in Guildford, for the reason that the Justices did nut want to drive trade away. A fine of £1 was Imposed for the obstruc. lion; the second summons was dismissed: Prizes were won at a Villaqe Institute whist drive last Thursday night by Miss A. E. Collins, Mrs. -Staplev. Miss Audrey Castle, and Messrs. O. Bond, H . A. Tipton, S. Layshley, and A. Harris. SHAMLEY GREEN.
