Admiral Tudor defended the beauty of Shalford at the Rural District Council yesterday, when 1 rood 17 poles of land required for* a.' suggested improvement were 'offered for £250, subject to nil expenses being paid by the Council. The Clerk (Mr. H. A. Merriman) said time the cost' would be .quite .£300.; • : Admiral Tudor was told that: the scheme emanated* from the County Council. ' Admiral Tudor: There arc many worse corners than that. The corner is a secondary consideration. The real attack is upon our'trccs. Speaking as an inhabitant of Shalford, I should be extremely sorry to see the trees go. It is entirely unnecessary to take a strip right down to where Capt. Snnt lives. I protest strongly against the beauty of Shalford being spoilt. If the elm tree at the corner is-removed it will be quite sufficient to round the corner. Mr. Wood opposed on financial grounds. It was preposterous. Mr. Thorpe, pointed, out that if' the Council did not take the land now it might never get it. ,- . It was decided to inform the County Council that the scheme was one to which the District Council was not willing to contribute. CATERING HOUSES. Nearly 30.000 meals In Six Months.

" A special committee of the Borough Educatio n Committee nppolnted~lo subm i t a.'scheme based upon tho prorisIons nt tho Education Ac t of 191S reported on Monda y thus: In view of , the decision of, the Government that "excep t wit h ircs b .Cabine t 'authority schemes' involvin g expenditure not yet i n operation are .toi remain in abeyance. " the Special Committee have carefully re-considered the position.' and have come to the reluctant conclusion " thut the comptctiotf an d , publication ; of a dcvelopmunt scheme now which would h a w no chnnco-o f general .adoption , withi n the next, five to. seven years would be useless, ,l t would also .appear very undesirable far , any authority at the present time to at- .

Th e ' Special Committee are. however,,still • o f opinion thnt the mai n proposals ot 1 the provisional. spheme should be ro- . nflirnicd as essential to satisfactory development i f financial considerations p.uruiil ted. These proposals in - volved tho establishment of a;centra l school for the more advanced instruction of the children renin i n in g beyond •th e age of It years, tho reduction of ; -the size of classes'to -10, wit h conse- , . queut additiona l class-rooms nnd nduilioiml teiieliers. the provision ,nf n suecinl -Sehwd for dul l nnd backward children , and of -more playin g fields for; prgattised games mi d puysicul . .training ns .opporl unity arose.

Th e Committee have in iniml the absorption into ...the • borough of the Guildfor d Par k nnd - Onslow Villag e estates an d the bousing, extensions i n the Stoke Hil l area. T h e nick of iiccoinmodation for older scholars in both these districts is o t present causing overcrowding i n Snnd- . held oiul Stoke Schools,, an d the committee have no doubt that a, new school will'shortl y become a necessity' i n the Guildford . Par k di-triot, whil e the need of a full-stniuhird school i n Stoke Hil l area is of even more pressi n importance. Th e latter question is, i n fact, now being considered by the Elementar y Education Coin mi l tee.

The good rate of interest, hreeof Income Tax, and, the Government guarantee, which have always been the attractive features of the Savings Certificate, are still retained.

To the Guildford Borough Education Committee on Monday was submitted this minute of the Elementary Education SubCommttfee, dated January 17th: Stoke Hill School. 11m, Special Sub-Committee (Councillor II. S. Higlett. chairman, Councillors Rnpkhis, 11. E. Smith, and Shcppard, Mr. G. II. White, and Mrs. Hicks) again visited the school on January Gih. and, after inspecting'the plan prepared by the Borough Surveyor; came to the conclusion, that it would be. impossible "fiprciilarge "The.'"existing "Stoke Hill school to .the onion nt of accommodation required fur the purpose,' the total area comprising .only about one-third of nn acre,, whereas a minimum of one acre is required for a school of the size contemplated. 'The Sub-Committee then inspected 'hind at BcllfieMs belonging to the .Council,, and decided to ask the Borough -Surveyor to prepare a sketch plan ot' a «cl-ool site of about three acres. On January; 17th the Sub-Committee f>« .-.hove) considered sketch plan. of a site of approximately three acres of land (including ground for organised' games) situate' at the end of .the present Bell fields Road, which was approved, and' it was "decided to refer ' the matter to the Finance Committee to endeavour to. arrange terms of transfer with the'Council (through the'Sanitary 'Committ-jc), and to obtain ,-ns early as possible the approval of the Board of 'Education to >thc purchase of the site: .The Sub-Committee also recommended that the Borough Surveyor be asked to prepare. sketch plans, on Ihc general' - tines- suggested; of a school to' nccem- - mbdato 300 children as a mixed school, ' in junior, and' senior departments, under i - one headmaster. The Finance Committee decided to ask the Sanitary Committee of_ the Town' Council for. what sum- it would, soli the land .required, ond the Secretary was instructed to enquire the price of n sug gested. nlrer native site. It was a strange e,ame Oi l tin;, Unili'd'-. ground on Saturday—strange In several respects. The rear divisions won! ;i - ilfy have been for weeks—>Coopcr, In goal; Grimsdell ami Stevens, backs; and Gnwnn, Cain, nnd 1 Inrrrisrin. hnlf-lincks. Two new faces and forms wen* in the forward line, and the whole lim- was' sinm'go in disposition. The- right wingers were Hemming and Dean, lair of the Arsenal; the left wingers Wcrc.,Qu!nii and Gruyos*; a -olilier, who fbniierly' played for the Heart of Midlothian. Tin- centre pi via was 1 Ipdsnn, 'the captain, . " Jimmy's '.' usual place is at back, but Brawn, who wns expected to he the e.-mrr, was not fit, ami Hods on, who had not Intended tu. play, was therefore improved. .It was strange to see " JltUliiy-" a lorward, anil the c.xpcritmcc was douhiles-. strange tii him. On tla- whole, llodsnii did not do badly. He nuuYrcd from lack of pace, as was only to bo expected: "Anno Domini " will toll. It can honestly lie written of him thai, lie wns a trier all through, ami that be was ever bustling the opposing bavk> ami goalkeeper. Brighton anil Hove Reserves, who were the visitors, had in their ranks- two or three ol the "first team. They ought to have won—on paper; but they found the re-organised United team a trifle their masters from the start. To the spectators Iho gnine'wns a delight. It was free, fust, anil exhilarating. The only, ".fly in the oitunieni " was ihe roughness of several of the Brighton players, who. if they had received their desserts, would have been sent off the field. Quinn, Hodson, ..and others wcn> badly fouled, even when they wiye yards away, from the ball. Free-kicks were awarded, but it scarcely seems lo me that a freekick is adequate punishment for the wilful tripping of a man who, although outside the penalty area, is making'straight for goal, with only- one bnck to circumvent; or when a back has been beaten by tine opponent he fouls another. The first half saw Guildford constantly attacking. Hemming ami Cowan had shots which .betokened trouble to Brighton until the ball was cleared, and from the left wing Ou inn-sent in a rasper, which struck a goal-pqst nnd was deflected over the Inn-; A few-inches to the left and the, ball could.not have been stopped. '. 'si;; r*. « The Brighton forwards would break away, of course, but GrimsdellVwariness, true anticipation, and sure kicking, and Stevens* .speed and head-work ' saved Cooper from being severely tested. ' .-.-..*., * c' < * It was early' in the second half that Brighton started their, unfair tactics. In the first couple of minutes Guildford scored their winning' goal. Hemming, alter throwing away several chances by dillydally . tattle-., centred right across -goal without hesitation, for a change, and Quinn, reaching the ball at full speed, drove it-hard into the net at close range. . Then it was that the Brighton men commenced to vent, .their exasperation upon certain of the United team. But temper ne'er won a game yet. , Guildlord continued to hold their own', and only once did the Brighton men threaten danger. That was when a. foul was awarded close to goal. Harrison' managed to clear nt once, and Go wan lifted the ball into touch at the centre. * . * * I cannot say that 1 was greatly, impressed-by- the play of Dean, the exArsenal forward. But it would not.be fair to judge him by his play "in such conditions as those which prevailed on Saturday. He would probably be better, in drier weather. Hemming- would, . have, done well .to have tried less.' on bis own; Selfishness, docs not 'pay, on the football' field. The left wing was die best section of the forward line. Groves, a hefty chap, nnd Qiiinn combined well, and Quiun centred capitally. He is n born trickster. SOUTHERN LEAGUE." 7 The play of ihn. whole .Guildford team was a' revelation to their ' few -uppio icrs, and should inspir,- the men in future matches. The tcnirn game .in Guildford will be eagerly anticipated. Given a fine day a iiionic struggle should result, .The play throughout the game reached u very bin'1 'standard. Hard knoeks were talu-n mul givoiKjn the most sporting spirit. Only one free kick was' i'Vutreded fur a foul—quite a minor' offence'. It Is" gratifying to nolo |hm the Guildford leant, j us- at present en poll luted, were quite the equals of ihe best senior amateur team in the country. The team which upheld the greatest traditions of Guild foul amateur football was composed of I Ian nan; .Webb nnd 11 a rin i's; Cooie, Morrison, and' f iowan ; Grove, , Mills, -Jvnncr, • * llnrmnn, and Pierrcv. Il is to lie hoped that nn further changes will be necessary by reason of injuries or'illness, Jf not, a high position in the Athenian League should be assured. ATHENIAN LEAGUE. P. W. L. I) F. A. P.

HONOURS EASY. Twenty-two heroic • players and one hundred spectators defied the elements at the Syllows on - Saturday, -when the two League rivals, . Farncombc and the " Queen's ".Depot, sought admission Into the filth round of the Junior Cup. Rain fell the whole time, and,- as the. ground was soaked' when the game started, it quickly became slippery. Considering these conditions, it was surprising -that such a good contest was witnessed. • When.- at the end of ninety .minutes, neither team had succeeded .in scoring, it was decided to play an extra . twjnfy minutes. Failing light, however, caused an abandonment shortly after the restart. . * 4 ', * Of the game little can be written. Neither -goalkeeper was troubled - much. Mitchell, of the Depot, had more to do than Yarhnm, hut he dealt ,chiefly with (ong shots, and the' slippery' ball was always safclv cleared. ' , The baclcs on both sides were i n great form. In the half-back lines Fisher, for the Depth, and Andrews and .Francis, for Farncombe, worked like- .Trojans. The forwards could not control- the ball as'they would have, liked.. GUILDFORD DRAW AT ST. ALBANS. That tbe " Pinks " were able io extract an Athenian League - point from • St. Albans, at St. Albans,, on Saturday, must •be considered a 'very creditable performance. Doubtlcs. the St. Albans people will, consider'that St. Albans were a trifle unlucky not to win outright. . -* • The game was played in the >most adverse .conditions. A drizzling rain fell throughout the match, rendering the hall heavy and slippery and the ground like a quagmire. > • • St*. Albans went- off with great dash, and* HnraiaiV. was given an early opportunity of displaying - his -skill.- Half, an hour had passed before Miller was able to put Ihe home side one up". - - He shot Into an empty goal.before Harman could get back after effecting a save low down. • • • Midway through the second half Pjercey equalised in a very similar manner, and this ended the scoring. « " , • ' V •• Despite the heavy going, the game was Very, fast and exciting. . The St. Albans forwards exhibited fine speed, ami ball control, but so - excellent, wns the Guildford defence that their forwards- had to he content ~,o take long .shots at - Hhrpian.

It was a pathetic fact that the Church had waited three hundred years,before realising its international responsibilities. The, New Testament I taught tlu\! .Christiniiily was to. lie an inforoalioiiiil *. -religion. " Tltefe ' was' wanted a new race—a number of international minded men and women—who would interlace the various nations with the bonds of love. Canon Kirwan nsited what was the present state of. religion in Protestant Germany? What wns the position of. the State Church, the Kaiser's,'Lutheran Church? ' Mr. Strang replied that the Protestant Church in Germany had, always bceii'in thraldom to the State. Before the war the Lutheran Church was - a branch of the -German Civil Service. Now it was passing tIirotip.h dcop wnters. Thero wns no diminution of religion, hut there was a falling away from the Lutheran' Church: The young people 'ivere turning, to Goethe, who taught that Christianity was .- not a thing of creeds us much as n mode of life. Personally. Mr. Strang looked forward to a spiritual revival in Germany. Mrv Strang explained tho present -.work nnd wages system in Germany. At Frankfort the wngcSi paid for ' a ' forty-eight hours it-eel; wore 330 marks (a mark is north loss than one penny). At Cologne the ivogcs' were 30Q marks, or about 15/- n week: "Until Christianity - was applied lo economic ^questions - tho workmen .'of Guildford would be out of work, and the workmen of Germany - would be working for a bnrc sustenance wage. In-Germany -men' were working for less than wns in many cases paid to Guildford's unemployed. Mr. Tudor Jones asked what could bo obtnincd for la/-, Mr. Strang replied'-that the German housewife could obtain n ration of lbs, of black .bread for. oight marks, and jib. of sugar for 44 marks. Sugar nd* broad were still obtained' only by food tick ola. Cheap *mnrgarin6 was n luxury, which could be obtained only by Iho wealthy. The only people who bed butter were tho farmers and tbe rich.

MEN AND MATTERS/ A Although the last Prudent word is with the Committee. Tow n Council as the Education Authority for Guildford—the Education Commit cc is not the Authority—it must be conceded that the committee has done right in abandoning* the ambitious education development programme which it is known to have nurtured., These arc not the days—days of an income tax of 6s. in the £ and heavy local rate burdens—when Guildford, any more than any other community, can afford cither luxuries or experiments in matters educational. A central school for boys and girls who have reached the. age of fourteen, a special school for children of weak intellect, and the provision of playing- fields for organised games under physical culture teachers, would certainly be advantageous to Guildford if we could afford them, but wc can't— at present. The Education Committee would also like to sec classes reduced in size. Th e reduction would necessitate, naturally, the provision of more class-rooms and the engagement of more teachers, whose salaries would materially swell the big sum already paid for teaching. The committee is wise in realising that any developments in the directions indicated must, of necessity, be deferred until economic conditions arc much easier than they arc to-day, especially having regard to the vcrv important fact that there is a definite proposal to build a new school at Bellfields, to relieve the pressure on other schools, and - that ere long it will doubtless be necessary for the Authority to provide a school to receive children from Guildford Park nnd Onslow Village , shortly to be added to the borough. The Bclllields school, which is to accommodate 360 children, will probably cost close upon £10,000 . That will be a pill quite bi g enough for ratepayers to swallow at one gulp. Police Guildford traders will and do well to consider Shopping what action* can useMotorists, fully be taken by them, concerted!)*, to rid oulside-lhc-town motorists from the risk of being summoned and •fined when, they leave their cars in the streets for a short time whilst they arc shopping. There is not the slightest doubt that the trade o f the town will be affected prejudicially unless action to this end' is 1 taken-. 'Again- this week there was heard a case in which a Farnham gentleman was summoned for obstructing' a street by his car, and, although the magistrates were more lenient than they have* been, he is annoyed, and justly, by the fact that he was convicted and fined. H e could not leave his car i n Friar y Street, where he wanted to buy fish, and he deemed it unwise to leave it in Hig h Street, which is always a busy street, full of cars. He'therefore elected to drive it into the quieter Quarry Street, and because he left it for a few minutes whilst he proceeded to the Friary Street shop, and a furniture van helped to block the thoroughfare, he is fined. The police will do well to exercise discretion—to discriminate between the conscious and the unconscious offender. To summon an outside motorist without regard to the circumstances is to penalise the town's trade.' Here, certainly, is a subject for Chamber of Trade discussion and decision. GUILDFORD.

REMOVA L T O " PALATIA L " QUARTERS . Founded in the middle " eighties " of last century, the Guildford and District Clu b recently removed from Ncalds nnd Cooper's old premises at 57 Hig h Street —now owned by Messrs. llciiokcy's, Ltd . —to the new Picture Playhouse building higher up the street on the opposite side, ril e accommodation there available to the club Is much superior to that which hitherto has been at its disposal. The results are all-round satisfaction to old members and a substantial influx of new members. There arc a reading room, a card room, and a largo room which is to be divided, one half to constitute a dining-room and the other a billiards room, in which there are two tables. Th e transfer has, naturally, imposed considerable extra work upon the committee, of which Mr. 1'. Si urges Smith Is the chairman, and Mr . W . R . Philpot the secretary. The latter, despite indifferent health unfortunately, worked particularly zealously and tactfully. ' l o mark the change, members dined together at the club on Tuesday night under the presidency of Mr. F , Lasham, the oldest member. Proposing " Success to the Guildford and District Club, " Mr . L a sham was in reminiscent mood. This could only be expected, seeing that bis membership of the club dates back to the year 1SS8. " f joined the club on May 31st in that year, and the same day our late lamented friend, Mr . H . Angell, joined. I am the sole survivor of those 'days—the fittest survivor. " Mr . Lashnm considered that the members of the " eighties " arid " nineties " of last century were more spurty than were those of to-day. Recalling' delivering a lecture on " Prehistoric. Man. " Mr . Lnsliam suggested to tlie directors the institution o l lectures with a view to improving the Ideas of members devoted to cards and billiards. Wh y hot too, lectures on trading subjects? Mem hers would surely be interested to hcai how they could obtain a loan without paying interest? ' '(** Pre-historic I ") Mr . Lasham cordially congratulated the . club upon its removal from the *' miserable hole " lately • occupied into the Picture Playhouse's palatial' building, and urged member- .to do all that was possible to them to Mlengthen the chili, numerically and financially,. The club was undoubtedly an asset to Guildford. Acknowledging the toast, Mr . SturgeSmith paid a whole-hearted' tribute to the assiduous exertions ot Mr. Philpot, the secretary, and thanked the many inumbcrs who had generously contributed fare,'etc., for the dinner—Messrs. P. A . Smith, W . R. Piillinger. J. A . Salter, Bernard Crookc , E . I'nVnell, Towcll, Porter, Slovold,- Kerslnkc, Lymposs, Stevenson, Read,' Lambert, Iligleil, and Boyco, and Messrs. Kremlin and Co . There was, observed Mr . Smith, a certain amount ol sadness in the club's severance from pretniscs with which it had been associated from the start—premises to which were' iltached many memories of happy days uid old members who had ' passed away. U the same time Mr . Smith had no'doubt that the changed conditions would bo welcomed generally, and that, the removal would strengthen • the club. Many oh..i,-icIi-. and ' difficulties bad ' bad to. be tackled and overcome. The directors had decided, thut, unless they were-obliged, to do so by the financial position' they would not' increase the old subscription. The club's accomiiiod tlion,, Mr . Smith .con* tended-,- -wrtts -not-; excelled""by-thac oI"uny club-- in Surrey. Tlicr c was only one other toast—•" The. Chairman.** It ..was proposed, in terms which must have been fluttering to Mr .

R AP R IN S O N THE*** * CHARGE S 1*0R ELECTRICITY . ____ _ iSMAL L CONSUMER S T O BENEFIT . " It is impossible 'for ' the public to realise our position, " said Mr . J. B . Rapkins, chairman of the Tow n Council's Electricity Committee, who was asked' by a 1Feebly Press man what he had to say in reply to criticism of the increased charges for electric current. " We- took over the works nt a most critical period in their history, an d you can take it from me'that if we had not done wan d put our backs Into thei.work it is doubtful if Guildford would have bad current either for lightin g or power—at any rate, an ur.interrupted supply. Since the transfer, at the end bf September, wc have not had a "single breakdown, the whole of the plant is now running with perfect smoothness, and the staff is working cheerfully' and confidently." • * Criticism of the new charges for current, " continued "Mr. Rapkins, " is based on wrong premises.' Th e whole position, financially, is governed by the Corporation's Electricity -Order. One of its provisions Is that the electrical undertaking; shall not become a charge upon the rates. W e have therefore to' see to It that the undertaking Is self-supporting. - T o this end wc have to sec thai the works earn at least £7,000 a year—the sum which is required to cover the annual charges for interest on and redemption of the capital. The sum, 1 would emphasise, b i g as It is, .does not cover depreciation and docs not provide anything for .reserve. We require, moreover, an additional £20,000, to provide new boilers, machinery, and mains, . The ll'eefciy Prrrr-ma n took it that the £7,000 was tantamount to dividend upon £7,000, and he asked if the company lately owning the works earned it. " i t did not," Mr. Rapkins replied emphatically.' "I f did not pay a dividend, it did.not allow anything for depreciation in 1920, or. anything like sufficient in its earlier years, . The Corporation -is compelled to provide for the redemption of its capital, but the company was not obliged ui ilb so. Hence the company's financial difficulties." " Di d -not the company, therefore, charge enough fur current? " Mr . Rankin's wus asked. " It did not, " was the reply. " The fact is that the company - in some cases supplied current for,less than was required to produce it. The Corporation.-cannot follow the company's practice, and it would CORPORATION SALARIES AND WAGES. REDUCTION S T O B E EFFECTED . The salaries' and .wages - paid by flic Corporation in all its departments were reviewed on Tuesday by the Tow n Council's Establishment Salaries and Wage s Committee, which, the ll'iTcbly Press gathers, decided to reduce a substantial number. One official is to be " docked " £2 5 a year and another £1 0 a year, and one, to whom £30 0 a year or more have been paid, is to' be dismissed. Last October the wages of fifty workmen were reduced by sums varying from 5s. to 2s. per week. They are now to be- reduced again, by like* sums',-- NOVELIST AND SOLDIER.

The net effect of the change to him, is that'instead of.the new charges penalising, the small consumer they benefit him.

" " T o sum tip, " .Mr. Knpkins concluded, " let me say that wc should not have increased iho charges had we not been convinced that they were essentia!.. Whilst wc arc not aiming to earn a profit,, we arc bound, by the terms of our Order, to see that the charges lire sufficient to render the undertaking - self-maintaining. If, after twelve months" experience, it is found that wc can reduce, .the charges' without detriment - lo the financial position and without risk to the, works, 1 shall see to it that reductions arc effected."'. < (plainin g the proposals.

Th e market price of the-securities was* considerably In excess of the figure appearing .-i n - the balance-sheet.
