honored at a stag dinner Sat-
urday night given by II of his
present and ex-law clerks who
came from Cleveland, New
York and Philadelphia for the
occasion that marked the COM
pletion of his 18th year on the
Supreme Court. It was a nice
tribute as the men not only
planned the dinner but they
also presented him with a COM
plete set-i3 leather bound,
gold-edged volumes-of the
Oxford Dictionary than which
there is nothing Whicher. They
had a special bookplate de-
signed too, which included
their names and described the
event.

had the men and their wives
at high tea the next day and
also invited people who served
with the Justice when he first

for the Farm Board under
Herbert Hoover, when he
served later as Solicitor Gen.
eral and when he was on the
RFC. To complete the friendly
kaleidoscope of his career, a
man who served in the same
company with Stanley Reed in

be in town and dropped by.
The occasion was beautified by
red roses that came from the
Mayor Of Maysville, KY, where
both the Justice and his wife
were born and brought up.

Usage Assessments Urged
BY Sandy Spring Session

Assessment Of land in accord
ance with usage instead of poten-
tial real estate value was urged
by the 80th Annual Sandy Spring
Farmers Convention Saturday in
Sherwood High School.
The farmers made it clear that
they mean that land used for
farming should be assessed as
farm land and not on the basis
Of what some nearby land brought
for subdivision purposes. The as
easements are getting so high
that farmers can't afford to farm
their land, speakers lamented.
In answer to questions it was
brought out that the intention Of
the resolution was to have the rule
apply in the suburban area as well
as upcounty. There are a number
Of farms used as real farming
projects in the suburban sections
and these should not be harassed
by subdivision assessments, it was
declared.
Another resolution praised the
work Of the Soil Conservation Ser.
