The Town Council was informed on Tuesday bv the Markets Committee that it had received from the Surrey Federation f Chambers ol Trade copy ol a resolution asscd In November, urging?'the Government to apply lo street traders the proions of the Registration of Business Names Act, if)Hi, to ensure that such traders should cease to escape their obligation to share the burdens oi local rating and Imperial taxation, The committee leclded to discuss ot its next meeting the •dvisability ol reviving ihe charges for .land- in the North Street market. Coun. Draper; The committee decided to lo that last July, when I urged that street traders not living in Guildford should be charged more than townspeople. It is full time that ihe committee took action in what Is a very serious matter to many traders In the town. Mr. Frank J. Baker, solicitor, of Guildford, left for Canada a week ago. MEN AND MATTERS. Public There is to be heard P ay the next week a case i n Rents. ' which the Corporation of Guildford seeks to recover £2 2 arrears of rent of one of the houses erected at Shepherd's Mil], Stoughton, by the municipality 111 conjunction with the State.. It will be interesting lo lenrn the- circumstances In which the tenant was allowed l o neglect- payment of rent for what must have been nearly six months. At Tuesday's Town Council meeting i l was reported tha i fifteen Shepherd's' Hil l tenants owed £10 1 14s. back rent. Not a few of the Corporation's tenants at Shepherd's Hil l and also on the Guildford Park Estate arc known to be unemployed. Some of them arc receiving unemployment relief from the Guardians. " It is clear, therefore, that those of the relieved unemployed who are maintaining their rents week by week arc paying, directly or indirectly, wit h money received from the Guardians—thut they are livin g at the expense of the public in houses provided by the public 1 Th e houses arc far from self-supporting, even if the rates arc paid regularly by the tenants with money carried by them in the usual way. The loss, is, of course, much heavier if the rents are now to be paid by the. ratepayers. The question is to be debated by a committee of the Guardians. The It will be gratifying (536 to Guildford residents Premises. 10 learn that it is the intention of the Corporation to re-build the premises, 133 Hig h Street, recently destroyed by fire, and that ns nearly as possible upon the lines of the original building. Wit h the twin premises alongside, the building was one which justifiably afforded Guildford ians cause for pride. Its gabled front, leaning a litle over Hig h Street, its leaded-light windows— glazed with English crown glass,' alas! irreplaceable—and its oakstudded shop front, were a delight to the eye, and-won ihc admiration of every visitor of antiquarian or artistic tastes. Unhappily, there had of laic been a disfigurement which ought not to have been tolerated by the Corporation. Wit h a full appreciation of whnt the buildi n g was, and wh.*n its restoration would mean, we hope that when the premises are re-constructed — as illustrated in to-day's Weekly Press —care to see .that it is permitted to remain as nearly as possible as it was in the middle of the sixteenth century will be exercised. Save for the destroyed Crown glass and the lend framework,,the original frontage of the building was saved from destruction by the lire. Wil l it be possible to save it—to "brace " it to the re-crcctcd premises in the rear? If this could be done everyone would be delighted, and the loss inflicted by the lire would not be so poignant as it will be if the line old front has to be demolished. It is a problem for experts to determine. In the twin building adjoini n g there has been discovered a hidden sixteenth-century fireplace, which is to be - preserved. W e illustrated it in the Weekly Press a fortnight ago. Guildford February 3rd—to-day and —was formerly rccogSt. Blaise, niscd in Guildford as , the festival of St. Blaise, the patron saint of the town as the patron of wool combers.

" Down to Stuart times (says Dr. Williamson in " Guildford in the Olden Time ") the festival continued its hold on the people, even when the .Gil d Merchant had merged into another body governing the town, and the wool industry showed signs' of steady and rapid decadence.'' Although the Guildford cloth industry was dead long before 1795, when the last Guildford tradesmen's tokens were issued, the words " Success' to the Woollen Manu - facture " and a representation- of Bishop Blaise, with a woolcomb, continued to appear on them. Ou r only associations with the earliest of Guildford's industries to-day arc the borough arms, which bears a representation of a wool-sack, and Rack's Close (the open space presented to the town by Mr .

Question: WHA T DID TO M Friday, February 3rd, 1922 CINEMA § STAR ' GUILDFORD. AT MISS FLORENCE TURNER A t T HE PICTURE PLAYHOUSE. M r. Barclay Bimuorc. manager of Guildford's Picture Playhouse, did a good stroke of business thorefor when ho secured promises from Mr. Denison Clift, film producer, and Miss Florence Turner, a film "star " more famous, perhaps, in America than on " this aide." to visit Gnildford nnd present themselves 'to n* Picture, Playhouse audience. The chosen audience was last night, when, appropriately, there was included in the programme " The Old Wives* Tale," a Denison Clift production, in which Miss Turner " stars" with Miss Fay Compton. Miss Turner, who was accompanied to Guildford by her mother, is a "liv e wire " of nn actress — bright and vivacious. She literally " tickled " the audience when she appeared on tho stage by her naive, intimate conversation, by her Americanisms, and bv one or two rich stories. "sl y dear Gnildford friends " Turner termed her auditors, who M were interested to learn that Mi Turner is not a stranger to Gnildford. Years ago sho came here, io admire pur historic buildings and tbe beautiful scenery in which the old town is set, and to capture photographs. Mr, Denison Cltft. who introduced Miss Turner ' as one of the greatest actresses for tho screen, wns in turn introduced by Mr. Binmore. He hnd much to say of tbe art of prodiieiiiK films. One point stressed by him was tho duty of producers to* realise that they were " pictnrizing" not merely as a hobby for themselves, but for .the edification of millions of people all over the' world. Mr. Binmore announced that there would shortly be produced nt the Picture Playhouse what was regarded as one of Denison elite's finest pictures. " Sonia." Prior to the appearance of Miss Turner and Mr . Clift on the stage, they, with Mrs* Turner, wore onter- . tainod nt dinnor in the Picture Playhouse cafe by tbo directors, two of whom—Messrs. Checsman and Lloyd— were present. Mr. Chessman spoke of tho indebtedness of tho directorate to their guests for their kindness in'visiting the Picture Playhouse. Miss Turner gave and autographed fifty of her portraits, which wero sold for the ^"Tbcuefit of the unemployed fund. \ THE SURREY WEEKLY PRESS SPANNER AS "PISTOL." GUILDFORD GROCER ATTACKED A N D ROBBED. SATURDAY NIGHT SHOP RAID. ,Mr. Alfred.Brown, the proprietor of n grocery and general shop in Buryfields. Guildford, was attacked therein oa Saturday evening, and a few pounds were taken from the till, by a man who was wearing a light overcoat and cloth cap, and who flourished what transpired to be a motor spanner camouflaged as a pistol. Mr. Brown, who is approaching GO years of ago. is 'a member of tho Guildford Board of Guardians and i member of the committee of the. Guild ford Grocers' Association- He lives on the premises with his wife. It would seem, judging by the circumstance. that Mr. Brown and bis shop had been tinder the observation of tbe marauder for some days or weeks.- and Chat the district had carefully been surveyed with a view to escape. Buryfields is nue of the quietest, least frequented thoroughfares in Guildford, despite the fact that it opens at one end into the busy High Street, and that it lies only twenty or thirty yards from the Portsmouth Rood. It is not too well illuminated at night., At the same time there is a gas lamp immediately outside Mx. Brown's shop. I STOUGHTON HERMIT." PREMISES TO BE CLOSED. ; Finding, after analysis, that water in a • shallow well al the Manor Road house occupied by James Collins wns " giossly • polluted," nnd quite unlit (or domestic purposes, the Public Health Committee recommended the Town Council on Tuesday to institute proceedings against the owner and occupier with a view to enforcing the closing order already obtained.. " We owe n duty to the public," rc- . marked Councillor Hlglctt, chairman of the committee, " Wc cannot allow Collins to be a menace to the. public health." The well watrr was"' badly polluicil by sewage. Councillor Jones, who frankly admitted that ihe committee bad treated Collins generously, pleaded that he might .be allowed to ihstul a proper water supply. Councillor Higlett: There Is also a complete absence1 of sanitary conveniences. .Councillor Jones: Let the Borough' Surveyor do what, is necessary. ; Collins wl|l pay. Tho Town Clerk urged thnt the money should be paid |u advance.' The Cnuiiril decided to enforrcjbc cloSj Sng order. ' Mr. Brown. To a Weekly Press representative, narrating, his' experience, Mr. Brown " I left the shop and entered the room nt Ihe buck for ten about a quarter to six! I heard the shop door open and iiniuedintely entered the shop. At in*t I could not see' anyone, but as f rounded the corner, of the i-ouutvr where tbo till is I sow approaching me, in a crouching position, from the other end of the counter, a mun who was pointing nt me what I took to be a pistol. We met nt tho corner where tbe till is. He seized the handle of the till and pulled it open while pointing the ' pistol' nt me, and ? rubbed nt n bundle of Treasury notes, seized the intruder, who. with ri number of mile.- in bis baud, made for the dour pulling me with him. J -hnd retained my.hold of his nrin. At tlie bend of the counter, alongside the door, in tlie struggle lie hnlf bundled me into the, well of,the window, hoi tic--, tins-of fruit, etc., :in"•which were flung ngaiu-t the glass, which wns -mushed. Ho burst from nie and ran into Bury fields; I ran after him n Ion glhir y field* Lam- almost ns far n- St. Nicolas' Hall, hnd there I fust him. I''then reali-ed ibiil I had n forehead wound, whieb' Svns bleeding.' I had evidentlv been struck -by what 1 ilistruniont was left behind, '"'and,, it dresMetl'In iniitate.II pistol. \Vhen I r e turned tu tlie shop -1 found that £1 Treasury notes from the till had been dropped on tbe floor, nnd nil thai the thief hnd.tnkcn wore between'.£2 nnd C3 in 10s. . no|es.'. .Tho' -ranii wns n st ranger to me. I can. though, recall a -t range mini of-similar build entering the shop twice in the. preceding' fort* night null being served with cigarettes. On tho first occasion 1 remember serving liiin near tbe door;- on the second iiccnsion he stood near the till. " THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER. It is cheering to discover that, price are really falling. True, .the Indy *h kindly consents to supervise tho ration ing arrangements in my humble household says that she has not noticed it. Then that is because I'm not lucky enough to belong to on association. * • * We must, all agree that it is tbe bounden duty of each and every indi vidual not to spend money unnecessarily. I've never met a man or woman who really likes to pay away money, so if there is any chance of getting something for nothing you will generally' find' a queue all anxious to assist at the performance.

Most of them can be traced to the determination of someone or other to get, perhaps, not exactly something for nothing, but as near it as possible. There are several ways of doing this. * 9 » The one most in favour just now is to And some inoffensive tradesman and demand (at the point of the sword, if necessary) a largo discount for a cash settlement. After that the thing is to Sad the cash for the actual settlement, and that is not nearly so easy. If you arc fortunate enough to complete all tho arrangements satisfactorily, you set, to work and form a purchasing association amongst your immediate friends. A purchasing association is a conglomeration of individuals handed together for the purpose of extracting cash discounts out of the unfortunate traders in their immediate vicinity. * *' * • Owing to the high price of ink it is now usual, when writing of ail association, to use tbe abbreviation " oss." This, has also the advantage of being very subtle.'and saving a lot of brain Tug. Now,' the c)cvcr people who condescend to' sell us stamps and help us in our telephonic communications linve formed' themselves into nn "ass." This is very nice for them, of course, but it hns really in a tie no difference to the'cost of telephones and postage. • Let me say right, here that the use of "ass." in I describing a purchasing . association is 1 not u suggestion, that the members of such' bod ies are in any way related to the donkey tribe. It is far more likely Hint the tradesmen who consent to the arrangement nre thnt. There is also" another mistake which is frequently committed. Many people imagine flint the members, of an - ass." room about iu'bniids, making their pur chases collectively. This is not true It is the custom to provide each fully paid-up member of nn "ass." with i membership card, which he or she pro duces on the completion of the purchase ' It is not really necessary to harrow the feelings of my kind-hearted readers with u description of the agonies of the un fortunate i tradesmen when he sees the card, nnd bang goes the day's profits Such things'-are best forgotten. Anyway, it's hot'for kind-hearted people like von and I. dear render, to talk about Ihi-m. At present only n few trndes arc mixed on in the affair, hut there, is un doubt that, properly organised, the " ass."

It may be only a pause for brenth to be taken after the decided rise ia quotations of tho last few months, and it" creates a good opportunity for those waiting to invest money. There is now a chance of getting a good security at a morb reasonable price. I think tho fall in India stocks, has been overdone. I advise a purchase of India 31% stock at under 60, or India 3% stock at less than, 50. Investors at these figures obtain a yield of 6*J_^on- thefr money, with a very good-prospect of appreciation .of capitnl. The Dunlop Rubber [Company report is out,' and has been- 1 tbo general topic of conversation in the city. The financial history of this company is peculiarly interesting. It was registered in 1896, and pursued a more or less uneventful, yet prosperous, career to 1917, and was at that time paying dividends of 15% on its ordinary . share capital. These profits increased in a' wonderful way, as was a common occurrence with so. many of our industrial componies«>during the latter years of tho great war," and with the profits the capitnl also grew., In 1918 ordinary .shareholders received ' dividends amounting ' to 23]%, and. in > addition, a share bonus of 50% from the capitalisation of reserves. In 1919 dividends amounting to 31)%,, free of income tax, were paid on tuo increased capital, and to crown' nil (it proved to bo .the highest point of the shareholders S ood fortune )in 1920 nn interim diviend of 15%' was paid,, plus a bonus of 300%, At this time -the paid-up capital of tho company shad increased to the huge amount of about- £20,000,000. and.. the ordinary shares, which bad . fluctuated in.-price' between 20/- and 50/-, wore hoisted to- the enormous figure, nt' ono time, of £U for n £1 shore. • • From that point the fall has . been -almost- as meteoric as tho rise.. which paved tbe way for it.' Slumping trade, depreciation in both rubber and cotton, big forward contracts for the Purchase -of • both these, commodities to fulfil, made an - issue of debentures a necessity, and vast sums have had to be written off stocks to bring them down to current values. To-day the £1 rdinary shares can bo bought for a few * shillings, and tho last balancesheet, shows a loss of £8,320.000. Whnt n tragedy 1 ' . S. P. Q. R. NEW LOCAL C0MPX»VS\"V - ;.:' .

The committee begs to remind the Minister of tho difficulties surrounding this particular office in " January. 1919, and that thoy wore much impressed with tho way 1 Mr. Woodward grasped the situation immediately he was appointed.

When, as chairman of the Electricity Committee, Coun. Kn pic ins "informed the Town Council on Tuesday that .it was proposed to instal two. mechanical stokers at the electrical works, at a total estimated cost of £1,480. Coun. Pullingcr enquired what, i'f- any, saving in the maintenance charges would be effected ? .Would there'be any saving in labour? " The committee is in the hands ol our consulting engineer," replied Coun. 'Rapktns.' *' He advised in - favour of mechanical stokers-in.-the earliest'stage for acquisition of the works, and we have every confidence .in him and his- advice. The mechanical stokers were'part of our original equipment scheme." -Aid. Franks: Did you invite tenders? " No," replied Coun. •Rnpkins. " The stokers are manufactured by a particular firm." Coun. Tarvcr: We want to know what the Council will save by the stokers. ( Aid. Fen mm Phillips contended that the full maintenance of a supply of electric current' for lighting and power was so essential that the committee was justified in its action. Where was there a central station in a town of like size of Guildford without mechanical stokers? " 1 don't care if they won't save money," exclaimed Mr. Phillips. " I am concerned solely by considerations of efficiency. The Council will commit a fatal mistake If it rejects the recommendation of the consulting engineer, who is a most competent man." Coun. H. E. Smith understood that cheaper coal could bo consumed' when the mechanical stokers were installed. " Wc believe that they will save both labour and coal," said Coun, Rnpkins. " We need not, moreover, burn such good coal. The whole of the machinery at the works is of an antiquated character. We need to render it more modern.1 " Coun.' Higlctt held' that the* stokers would effect a big saving in labour. The smoke nuisance, too, would be. remedied.. There would always be smoke so long as hand-stoking was permitted. Aid. Shawcros*: Consumption of cheaper conl will not - cure the smoke nuisance. I We can't have ft both ways. The Mayor: At -Reading; there is a practical absence of cnttikc. 'Coun. Fairbrothor; If'-iyc use cheaper coal can we fiaye. cheaper electricity? ((Laughter.) . The minute was accepted,- CHILDREN'S CORNER THE SURREY WEEKLY PRESS My. Dear Boys and Girls, -Have you'a cat? I wonder. If so, 1 expect you will like to hear about mine. It is not a particularly beautiful cat, but, of course, 1 like it. Its colour is a dark tortoiseshcll. 1 think that its mother must have been a- black pussy, and its father what you would call a " ginger " one. I will not tell you my cat's real name: it is very long and rather silly. -We will just call it Pussy, with a capital P. Well Pussy has a very determined will. When she makes up her mind to do anything she will do it: For instance, she loves bacon rinds, and at breakfast time sometimes she jumps on my knee, so as to be nearer the bacon. Of course I put her down-again, for even cats must have some manners, mustn't they?, She immediately jumps up .again, and I put her down, so it goes 'on until one of us is tired. At night she usually sleeps on a cushion on a stool near the kitchen fire-place. She loves her cushion, for which she has one or two covers which have to be changed when they get dirty. Her favourite is, I think, a yellow one, nnd she rather likes her present one, a beautiful green colour. Pussy loves baskets and boxes, and if ever a basket is put on the floor in she jumps. She likes, too, to sit on the top of the clothe* basket, full of clothes, which are going to or coining from the laundry. When they are soiled clothes that does not matter much, but when the basket is full of nice clean well-ironed clothes it- is- a different matter1 When we were doing up parcels at Christmas time Pussy was always to be found sitting down amidst the' brown paper and cardboard boxes. She is a very intelligent cat, ond has heaps of funny little ways. When she' is out in the evening and wants to come In she does not cry, but jumps on the windowsill outside a lighted window, stands on her hind legs and paws the window, with her front pnws until she is let In. With lovo. The Chairman reported the resignation from the committee of Mr . w . B . Mitchell, who stated that his duties as steward of .the Comrades' Club did not allow him sufficient time to attend the meeting?. Mrs. Kirke suggested that M r . Mitchell should be asked to reconsider.-his decision: she did not think that the' resignation was his own wish. It was' -agreed to adopt Mrs. Kirke's suggestion, and defer tho matter to the next meebng. FARNHA M PREFERS GDTLDEORD..

Asked by the Education Committee its price for three acres of land at .Cellfields' required for a new elementary school, the Sanitary Committee, it wns reported to the Town Council on Tuesday, offered the land for £250. The Finance Committee agreed. Coun. Jones suggested that the site, was bad for a school, in that it was too near ihe sewage farm. Coun. H . E. .Smith,' chairman of the Education Committee: If Coun. Jones knows where .we can find n better site wc shall be glad to hear of it. Wc have searched the locality, and cannot find another site *' It Is the worst" site the committee could have chosen," declared Coun. Gosteiow, who argued that -the provision of a new school at Bellfields might be obviated if there were a re-distribution of scholars. Children living at the High Street end. ought to be transferred from Stoke schools, where they caused overcrowding, to Charlottcville. Coun. Draper: Why not to Godalming? The site was also condemned by Aid. Fcntum Phillips, who characterised it as " poisonous." What would the interior of the school be like on hot summer days when the windows bad to be closed to exclude the aroma from the sewage farm ? Nothing more was said,.and the minute passed.

Reporting to the Town Council on Tuesday upon the recent conference at Kingston in respect to the Greater London scheme, the Town Clerk of Guildford (Mr. R. C. Knight) remarked that the object wus to supersede the London County Council by nn authority which would control the whole of the present built-up area of London and the suburbs, and :i wide belt of land likely to be developed. There might, perhaps, be subsidiary authorities, controlling areas each with a population ol 500,000. All would be subject to Ihe control of the parent authority. Even the Metropolitan boroughs would possess powers less than those wielded by Guildford. An , inevitable result of the new scheme would be increived rates. AH public services would be controlled. The scheme would receive the uncompromising opposition of all county councils close to London.. At tho same time it, was admitted that there were certain services which it might be well to co-ordinate. The opposing councils intended to oiler not simply destructive, but constructive criticism. The Mayor of Guildford had been appointed to a committee which would frame the opposition. Although Guildford wns not dlrccdv affected by the proposal, the Town Clerk said that the Mayor and he-considered that it was incumbent upon Guildford to support fellow authorities which were threatened. " Wc cannot say when our lime may come. We believe, moreover, thnt the scheme is bad. If it succeeds the Surrey County Council will lose about half of its rateable value and half its population.

He was to be sent back to the Army when the magistrates hod finished with him. The Bench remanded the case until next Monday', In order lo afford time tor further enquiries. GARDEN & ALLOTMENT (By A . Bean.) A First Selection of Vegetables. Broad beans, should be sown for the sake of an early crop. It is usual to choose one of the small podded early varieties, such as Mazagan or Beck's Dwarf Green Gem, though there is really no reason why one of the Long pod varieties should not be selected. The seeds should be planted, two inches deep and about seven inches apart in a double row, the lines of which are eight inches apart. If more than one double row is sown there should be two feet or so between. But it is not worth while making a'large sowing now. Those whose gardens or allotments are on light soil may risk even a small row of early peas of ono of the dwarf varieties, such as Peter' Pan, Loxtoninn, or Little Marvel. On heavy,soil it is not worth while doing so. .If severe weather sets in when th o seedlings are up they can be afforded" protection by earthing and by putting small twiggy sticks about them. Another crop which may be got in now is horseradish: root cuitings or pieces of root about the thickness of one's finger should be planted nine inches apart and in -holes, of such n depth thnt the tops' of the roots arc not less than six inches below the surface. • • » Looking Forward In Earnest. Wise .is the gardener who realises, that'spring it at hrnd, and as a consequence ' makes adequate preparations so that all may be in- readiness for the great work of sowing and planting when the weather Is propitious. A pleasant hour or two can be. spent with the seed catalogues which are being Issued by the chief seedsmen. The time thus passed will also be profitable, for success depends largely upon a selection of the best kinds and varieties of vegetables., It must be' admitted that selection is difficult, owing to the often indiscriminate: w.iv in which laudatory adjectives are used. ' * * * Pruning Pear Trees. . 11 used lo be said thnt " He who plants pear trees plants for his heirs " ; but that is an exploded myth now. It is possible to plant pear trees: in autumn and gather a crop of fruit the following summer if proper selection of trees and varieties Is miidc. Bush or pyramid trees on the quince stick ore the'best for amateurs they come Into 'bearing quickly. The pruning of pear trees is a simple matter providing that one remembers a few essential points. First and most important is it necessary to see that the branches are well- apart-from each other—say not less than I5in. or so. Then sunlight .and air have free access to all parts of the tree, the " wood " becomes well ripened, and the buds arc properly developed. Any branches which tend to block "ihc centre of the tree or that cross each other, thus spoiling .the symmetry and shape of die latter, should be cut bock. Further pruning consists in shortening the shoots at the ends of the branches fcy one-third, and by cutting down to within one or two buds ol the "base the side or secondary shoots on the branches. In pruning the side .shoots only lost year's growth must be cut. * * * Sell-Cleaning Rake. A self-cleaning rake is the recommendation of Mr. H . A. Wright, to whom is awarded a prize of " Allotment Gardening. " It is made in the following way: Get a piece of wood (or thin metal) «ninch mid a-half wide and half an' inch thick, and about one inch longer than the rake head.' Drill holes to correspond with the position of the rake. Woman's-Unfailing Friend. TCTWLE'S; PILLS Immediately, you notico any irregularity of the system take Towlo's Pills.

Pruning Fruit Trees. Pruning is one of the most important details in the cultivation of fruit trees. If it is wrongly performed the prospects of satisfactory crops may be destroyed, and nil the labour of plunting nnd syraying und other care may go for nought. It is necessary, first, to recognise thut, so far ns their pruning is concerned, fruit trees are divided into two groups—those which bear fruit principally on spurs, or short stunted growths which developed during the previous year. In the first group arc tho apple, pear, plum, sweet cherry, and red currant. In the second, group arc the Morella cherry, peach, nectarine, black currant, raspberry, and such berried fruits as blackberry and loganberry. The gooseberry fruits both on spurs nnd on the previous summer's growth, so it is eligible for inclusion in both classes. » • » • " Spur " Pruning. Few amateurs understand what is meant by " spur "-pruning. It is a term which will cause little difficulty if the trouble is taken to examine nn apple or a pear tree. It will be found that on the branches of such trees are many short " knobby " outgrowths on which fruit buds cluster. They arc known as spurs. Some of them form naturally an branches one year old and older; others arc Induced to form by pruning in summer and in winter. If ail shoots not required to extend the branches of the tree are shortened in summer to about Sin., and in winter are again cut to within two buds of the base. It will be found that the result Is to cause these stunted developments known as spurs. * « i Pruning Busli Fruits. It used to be the custom to prune gooseberry bushes on the lines described above, but It has been found that they fruit much more freely when merely thinned out, the shoots of the previous year's growth being just slightly shortened. The block currant is pruned by cutting out os many old shoots as can be replaced by those of last summer's growth. Severe pruning on these lines is .the only way to grow the black currant to perfection, it encourages the development of fresh shoots from the base, and It is these which, produce the best fruits. 6 Triday, February 3rd, 1922, THE SURREY WEEKLY PRESS DISTRICT "NBWS - T h ° r0PrMWltatiT 0 ° f tt* » ^ fa ^ C .

Formed six months ago, for the study of advanced choral music, the Cranleigh Musical Society has so far departed from its original intentions .is to give the public the benefit of its application. , On Monday n -large audience, which nearly filled the church, were delighted by an excellent rendering of one of the most difficult of 'Bach's choral works—his five-part motet, " Jcsu, • Priceless Treasure." The forty members of the choir, under the inspiration of the conductor, the Rev. K. L. Lcathcrdale, made a brilliant effort. The parts were well sustained, and the'attack was particularly fine in the " death" chorus. The society may be congratulated upon such a creditable performance. Before tbe commencement of the "choral work, Mr. R. Harris, Mus, Bnc, who presided at the organ, played Bach's Prelude and Fugue in E minor.

" At a meeting of the Highways Committee, oi the Hnmblcdon Rural District Council tlie Surveyor reported that on « recent inspection, one half of Summcrsbury Road was almost impassable for motorcars, cycles, and other light traffic. A letter from ;i firm of solicitors stated that ihc amount asked by the District Council to relieve the owners of future liability to repair the read appeared'to be unreasonably high, but if a sum of £1,000-would be. accepted they thought they might be able to arrange the matter. The Clerk has been instructed to reply that, as there still appeared to be a large quantity of timber to be hauled over the ro.nl; the Council is not disposed to consider taking, over and- making the road until the haulage of the limber has been completed. The Council also points out that the person responsible for the repair of die road will be liable for any accident which "might occur owing to the state of the road. witness, aad was given n little wood to plane. Deceased left about 11.45. An hour and a half later, as an outcome of what witness's son told him, he went to a shed in the garden, and there found bis brother bleeding, apparently, from the heck. In a letter, which was found by his side, deceased wrote:— Dear Fred,—I cannot help myself. I am going. I must. I am sorry. God help Rose and the kiddies. Do what you can and take themi to the hospital and get them examined for n disease. You know what 1 mean. It has came (o me like a thunderclap . ... . .

Deceased Was lying on his right side, doubled up. Lawrence Molsby,- builder,- of Send (partner of Mr. F. J. Walker), found deceased, lying in the shed with a .razor in his right hand. Witness took the razor away, rendered him more comfortable, and sent for the doctor. Dr. Winsome D. . Grantham, house surgeon at the hospital, said that deceased was admitted with Ills throat cut and an injury to his left wrist. Deceased had cut right through the larynx, and had cut several! tendons, but not the artery, in the left forearm. The wounds were very dirty and had jagged edges, as though they had been cut with something not very .sharp. Deceased, who was conscious, tried to speak in whispers. Finding that it was a case of " Suicide during temporary insanity," the Coroner bud no doubt that-deceased's* mind was unhinged, but whether from the result of the accident or whether he had some disease, there was no evidence to prove.

Guildford. 4424f TOW N COUNCIL. WATE R CHARGES FOR OUTSID E AREAS. WAGES AND SALARIES. The Mayor (Councillor H . Filton-Adams) presided-nt a meeting of the Town Council on Tuesday, Water Charges. . The controversy between the Town and District Councils concerning the future of the waterworks undertaking has reached an Important stage. After full consideration of the proposals of the special joint committee of the Guildford and Hamblcdon Rural District Councils, the Town Council was . recommended to refuse the offer. Tbe sub-committee expressed the opinion, that the best course to adopt would be to have a joint Water Board , for the district at present supplied by the Corporation, each authority appointing its own representatives on the Board. .The cost of supplying consumers with water would then be borne, either by the consumers or by tbe respective Councils, in proper proportions. • Moving tbe adoption of the committee's report, Coun. Spring said that a revision of the charges was necessary. The committee could not recommend the Council to entertain an offer which might easily involve tbe necessity of further contributions from the general district fund, and thereby result in the outside consumers paying less for their water than ratepayers of Godalming, Taking the last twenty years. Godalming ratepayers had- paid, on an average, a 5d. rate in addition to the water, rate. The outside consumers had not paid that 5d. rate. The report and recommendation were adopted, the Mayor remarking tbnt the committee had given the matter very careful consideration. Wages Question Provokes a Storm. By a majority of .7 votes to 1, the Wages Committee recommended that, in accord-, ance with the sliding scale adopted in July, automatically adjusting the wages (Coiilfiiui-d in next column.)

The reductions were to take effect on the first pay day in February. The question of officials' salaries was again discussed and deferred, for further consideration, at the next meeting of the committee, after which it is hoped to present to the Council a report oMis findings. Moving adoption of the report, theMayor said that (he cost ot living in July lost was 115 points over that in 1914. At the end of December, 1921, it was 99. Reductions were the logical outcome of the Council's previous resolution. As far as the salaried officials were concerned other questions had been raised, and other information had to be sought. Coun. A. Mitchell considered' that the reduction' should affect officials as well as employes. Why the officials' salaries had been raised, had puzzled him, \ Last August, when wages were discussed, it was promised that, the'officials'salaries should fall within a month—(** No, no ")—or that there would be a meeting to consider them. The Mayor ruled the remarks out of order. The matter was still sub-judice. It must not be discussed. Coun. Mitchell: I opposed it in committee, and 1 oppose it now. I have a right to do it. It is very unfair to bring down the wages of the worlsing-clnsscs 8s. a week and leave the officials' salaries untouched. It is not more than right that the officials' salaries should come down, because the increase was a war measure. The salaries should be reduced about £25 . When you take into consideration that ihe •world ng-clas ses—— The Mayor (interrupting): 1 am sorry. 1 cannot .let the discussion goonJt.1 rule it out of order. 1 must ask you to sit down. Coun. Mitchell: But I am right. The Mayor: I do not think you are. That matter must be discussed in due course—not now. Undeterred, Coun. Mitchell proposed, as an amendment, that the matter should be referred back to the committee, and the wages be hot reduced until those of the officials were.' The Mayor: That is another point. If you move that as an amendment I will accept it. Seconding the amendment, Coun. C. H. Candlin thought that one question should be dealt with in sympathy with the other. It was grossly unfair that the lower paid men should have two reductions and the higher paid men remain stationary. Coun. W. F. Paine was informed that the wages now paid to the employes of the Sanitary, Highways, and Waterworks departments were approximately £ 2 15s. -per week, and that it was proposed to reduce this to £ 3 12s. Coun. Paihe: The question is whether that is fair money. Coun. J . S. Spring questioned whether a resolution was needed. The reduction should take place automatically. The Mayor ruled that the councillors had a right to object, if the amendment was carried the previous resolution would be rescinded. It- was then suggested by Coun. Spring that K the salaries of the officials - were reduced the alteration should also date from February 1st. To • this course Coun*. Mitchell and Candlin agreed, arid a resolution to this affect, and embodying the recommendation of tbe Wages Committee, was then carried. Not To Be Dropped. The Unemployment Grant Committee have written that it was unable to vote a grant towards th cost of the scheme for laying-out the two recreation grounds, in view of the limitation of funds at their disposal. Tile Surveyor had been instructed by the General Purposes Committee again to interview the Ministry of Health. Dancing for Rates. Described as a most satisfactory state of affairs, Aid. Pilcher'said that 267 per-' sons :were dancing in the relief of the rates of the borough. The popular dances had started at the • Borough Hall at 9d. per head. The Council might well consider the question of having' a second night, with a charge of 2s.Gd., 3s.6d., or 5s. (Councillor Spring: For councillors?) It hnd been suggested that various members ol the Council should take turns as M.C. , Mr. Mitchell being the first. The primary idea was that Mr. Mitchell should act as a sort of decoy to the general public. Utfughtcr.) 'hie result of the three dances was interesting:—(I) Attendance of 64 .persons, receipts £ 2 6$.; (2) 100, £ 3 15s.; (3) 103,. £ 3 17s.3d.; totals 267, £1 0 0s.3d. The actual expense, apart from the lighting, .was 12s.6d. a time. I Organised by Mrs. Fanshawe and the committee of the Women's Unionist Association, a whist drive was in' the Borough Hall on Wednesday. One hundred and seventy-scvcn players1 participated. Mr. W. A. Barnfield was the " driver." Prizes were given by Mr . W . E . Home, M.P., Colonel the Hon. A. GJ Brodrick, and others. - They were distributed by Mrs. Ritchie to tho following.

Enquiring yesterday, we were informed that Mr. Simmonds was progressing as well as could be expected. One leg was so badly injured lhat it 'was necessary to amputate it soon after Simmondsadmission. LIBRARY' S FIRST YEAR . The committee of the Godalming Public Library, opened to the town and neighbourhood in January, 1921, feels justified in claiming that the first year has been on unqualified success, and that the record icmonstratcd what the (own lost by deciding the Carnegie offer of a few years ago. The number of exchanges during the year was 17.SS0. Over "15,000 were by adults nd 2,754 by the children. Many valuable gifts of books had been received. Free access to the library had been the orderIn some coses books borrowed had not been returned, ' The greatest demand was for fiction, although biography, travel, nature, science, and technical books had found plenty of renders. There were nearly one hundred newspapers, magazines, and reviews in the reading room. •* COM E DOWN. " Preferable to " Come up." Aid. Fentum Phillips complained at Tuesday's nicotine; of the Town Council; tbnt au advertisement hoarding alongside Stoke Rood houses had been recreated. Judging by the, size of tbo timber struts used, a strong interposition of merciful Providence would be required to blow it down again. V Do I understand that it is beyond tho power of tho Council to deal with the hoard-, ins?" enquired Mr . Phillips. Tho Town Clork: Tho matter will come up at the next meeting. Aid. . Phillips i I want to see it come down, not como up. (Laughter.) PILES CA N B E CURED. NO KNIFE . NO PAIN , NO DOCTOR'S' BILLS .
