ed.
How to Read a Book was the

sively on how to approach the
classics, which proved of decided
interest to Delphians as they arc
about to legin their year study
of Medieval Stories and Modern
Fiction
Miss Proudfoot, who holds a mas.
ters degree from the University of
Chicago, handled her subject delight
fully, revealing great academic and
practical experience. She is teach

phasize this thought-let us make

with Ruth Teeple Reid acting as
her accompanist.
The one-act play "Overtones, >
by Alice Gerston Berg, promise to
be particularly interesting. The
setting is laid in the New York
apartment of " Hariett,'' which role
is taken by Mrs. Norman C. Dea-
ton. Harriet and Margaret, child
hood friends, are meeting for the
first time after many years follow
ing Margaret s return from Europe.
The role of - Margaret - who is the
wife of an artist who has achieved
considerable fame but little money,
is taken by Mrs. John T. Rice.
The cleverness of the play is due
to the fact that while Margaret and
Harriet are discussing their lives
aS women of the world, their inner
selves stand near them voicing their
rritl thoughts. Mrs. ii. c. Diller will
play the role of Harriet 5 inner
self and Mrs. Don Rex that of

An interesting talk on the growth
of scout work in the valley since
its organization six years ago was
made by S. l.. McCrory, county
Boy Scout executive, who declared
that the success of the work is not
measured by the number of scouts
but by how boys who are scouts live
up to their scout oath and laws. The
influences of the work on the boys
who remember to do a ''good turn
daily was revealed by Mr.. Me-
Crory, who stated that very few
Boy Scouts ever were brought to
the juvenile court.
The need for adult leadership and
what it means to the scouting move
ment was stressed by the speaker,
as was the interest of the parents in
scout work.
Ralph Reynolds, chairman of the
Court of Honor, stated that it is
through the court the good work of
scouting is revealed, as it shows
how much work each boy has ac
complshed. He said it is the plan
of the committee to make the cour,
even more interesting than last
year, in this way hoping for a larg
er attendance of parents.

Assessor Urges
Re-ValuatiOn OF
County Property

Plans for calling a county wide
conference y with representatives
present from each of its municipali-
ties were outlined by County Asses
sor Wiley NJ. Weaver at meeting
of the city council of Brawley
Monday night. The purpose of the
meeting is to consider means for
the re-valuation of properties for
county and state assessments.
1t is believed that the scheme
can be worked out on such plan
as to make the assessment figures
psable by the cities as well as by
the county and state.
1t was brought out that the diff
fcrcnces between the county assessor
and the board of supervisors rcla-
tive to the re-valuatIOn of assess
mcnt for this year s tax roll, have
not been definitely ironed out.
That the county assessment roll
needs re-adjustment is admitted by
practically all city and county
authorities and for this reason the
re-assessment of municipalities was
ordered early this year The figures,
however, We're such that consider
able dissatisfaction was expressed
ON all sides and the county assessor
ended the argument by disregard
ing the new assessment figures and
presenting his assessment roll to the
supervisors with the previous year's
figures as basis.
According to the county assessor
the work could be done at cost of
approximately $1,000.
While no definite time or place
was fixed for holding a meeting of
officials Of the municipalities, it is
expected that such meeting will
be called soon.
