time trying to induce the Orange
Common Council to join in the pact,
persisted that immediate action was
imperative. He put all sorts of
queries to the East Orange officials
as to why the City Council would not
have a public hearing on whether the
municipality should consent to enter
the pact. He told of the difficulty
he experienced in advancing the
scheme when he was councilman and
he assured the East Orange men they
would not be taking binding action
by having the public hearing.
Dropping further consideration Of
the problem for the summer was
urged by the East Orange council
men, but Montclair officials insisted
that something toward beginning the
construction work must be accom-
plished soon. Mr.. Henney said most
of the Montclair officials want the
sewage problem terminated by the
expiration of their present terms.
Councilmen Dixon and Lawless, OF
East Orange. explained it would be
practically useless to hold a public
hearing in East Orange until the
summer months have passed, as most
of the people are away on vacations.
Finally 1t was agreed to suspend ac-
tiVities until September.

"A Stranger in a Strange Land
Attraction at Orange Theatre

Next week is laughing week at the
Bijou Theatre, Orange. The Ar
vine Players will present "A
Stranger in Strange Land"
from the pens of Sidney Will
mer and Walter Vincent, one of the
funniest farce comedies ever seen on
The American stage. The story of "A
Stranger in a Strange Land" briefly
concerns a young Englishman, who
comes to America to get an educa-
ton and incidentally to live down a
reputation for being wild. But Amer
lea appeals to him even more than
England and he has the time of his
life
In order to get enough money from
home to allow him to see life as he
wishes he has to invent some pretty
tall stories. As he wants to make
the stories strong he copies his let
tiers to his uncle and aunt from dime
novels that tell of Western exploits
with Indians. cowboys and buffaloes.
And that's what causes the trouble.
When the play opens he is return
ing home for visit and finds that
the folks have taken his letters lit
orally and that he is expected to live
up to them He brings back a trusty
Indian that had been supposed to
have saved his life. but the Indian
escapes and another has TO be Sc
cured. A travelling medicine man
with an Indian is pressed into serv-
ice and induced to pass himself off
as Kit Carson, the scout, and Tam
monee, the faithful Indian. A young
friend of the family is induced to
impersonate an Indian to help him
out of the trouble, not knowing about
the real Indian, and later a Scotland
Yard detective comes to the place
and DISCUSSES himself as an Indian.
From that time there is no peace for
anybody
