Another second class scout,Blair Albrecht, was recently transferred from the Wynnewood troop.It looks as i f some of the younger

boys might give the old timcrs a hardbattlefor f i rs t classhonors. Certain ly there isn't a boy in the troop whois letting the gra ss grow under hisfeet.

Three Scouts of Troop 2Pass Second Class Tests

Efforts to unite Narberth Republicans under the Organization bannerhave reached an impasse wi th the r e sult that there wil l be con test s forthe posts of committeemen and comm i t t e ~ w o m e n at the Spring Primarieson April 26.

The Independent faction, under thel e a d ~ r s h i p o.f. Fred Walzer, have pu tcandIdates In the field in the firstand second districts in opposition tothe present committeemen and womenwho are the Organ ization representat ives, whi le in the third district, theIndependent candidates are unopposed.

Charles V. Noel, Johnson l i ~ u t e n -ant and committeeman in the Borough for OVer 20 years, is opposed inthe first dis.trict by Arthur L. Cooke,former LegIon commander. Likewisein t he f ir st d is tr ic t, Mrs . Loui se VCockrill, present c o m m i t t e e w o m a ~and organ ization worker , wil l be opposed by Mrs. A. C. Miller, Independent candidate f or t he post.

In the second district, the organization committeewoman, Mrs. MaudK. Reeves, is opposed by Mrs. LouiseTown, and George O. Schroder, present committeeman, who is backed bythe Independents, is unopposed.

With the removal from the Boroughof the organization committeemanWilliam W. Fretz, from the third d i s ~trict, the Independent committeewoman, Mrs. Margaret Griswold, and newIndependent candidate for committeeman, Herbert A. Barton, are unop-posed. '

Whether the fai lu re of Republicanst o agr ee on commi tt eeman and committeewoman selections is an indication of continued hostilitybetween theOrganization and Independent political workers in the Borough i s a matt e r f or conjecture. It has been rumored, however, th 'at the two groupshave beenunable to decide ona leaderwho will be acceptable to both.

Indications point to a d et ermi ne deffort by Organization workers to turnout a majority vote i n t he Boroughfor the County Republican Organization candidates at theSpringPrimary.

"Education in this country, as it

applies to producing men t rained for

larger problems, is a disappointment."

So'Stated Dr. Charles E. Beury, presi

d en t of Templ e Unive rs it y, i n h is

talk before the Bala-Cynwyd-Nar

berth Rotary Club Tuesday.

Dr. Beury took as his topic "Education and the World's Unrest." In

his talk he pointed o ut t he lessonst o b e g lean ed f rom the stock marketdebacle of 1929 and the resulting depression.

"The stock market crash, whichfollowed an orgy of gambling, squeezed$26,000,000,000 of water out of stockvalues," he said. "That in itself wasa good t hi ng , but it went furtherthan that. Fifty billions in realvalues went with the other andbrought the effect of the crash downu pon m ill io ns who wer e i n no way·responsible for it.

"We have been following false gods.The Machine Age has run away fromus, and sooner Or later we must realize that money is not the index ofhappiness. Most weal thy men I knoware not happy.

"Despite our national opportunitywe seem to have gone to seed throughlack o f p repared leadersh ip . Withone-sixteenth o f t he world's land surface and one-seventeenth of the population, we control half the commerce,finance and manufacturing, a great

percentage of the raw materials andsix or seven times the automobileouipu t o f t he rest of the world combined.

"The United States i s t he l east safeof all countries today. We havepassed 250,000 laws in 20 years, manyill-advised and many unenforceable.As a result we are not responsive tothe mandate of law.

"In th is country we shun pol it ics,and thus the young men ar eno t properly prepared for a career of statesmanship. In England the better classof young men prepare at Oxford andCambridge to ta ke over the reins.

Thepresent

situationin

Congressdemonstrates the need of a betterclass of statesman."

Dr. Beury closed h is t al k w it h abrief review of the c are er of Dr.Russell H. Conwell founder of Temple. Duriflg his lifetime, the speakerpointed out , Dr . Conwell earned over$6,000,000, every c en t o f whi ch wasdevoted to public good.

"Dr. Conwell left no money, " heconcluded, "but he left a far greaterheritage."

Favors T h o r o u ~ h StudyTo the Editor of Our Town:I will not say that your reporter

misqlloted me last week in his llum

mary of my remarks at the citizens'm e e t i ~ g at which Mr. Burns advanced his project for the merging of the

borough into the t ownship. I s pokehurriedly and without premeditationllud probably the reporter's notes were

more literal than my memory of what

I said.

For Independence

To the Editor of "Our Town":In rep ly to the a rt ic le appea ring

in a r ec en t i ssu e o f "Our Town," entitled "The Grand Old Party," ands igned by a correspondent under thepen name o f "The Elephant ," le t thecitizens o f Narber th be cautiousStop-Look-Listen.The fundamental principal of this

Republic is based upon our democrat"ic primary election laws, which giveto every candidate for public officet he p rivi lege to present his or herqualifica tions to the voters. The policy of a pol it ic al bos s o f endorsingan individual candidate at the Primary Elect ion is contrary t o the purpose o f thi s law.The leader of the Republican Party

of this county should confine his energy and interes t to working for the;success of the Party at the ..G.enel'a1Election and leave the choice of partycandidates to the people at the Primary Election, and which choice, theresidents of Narberth have been wellable to exercise in the past.'Ar e t he taxpayers and voters of

this community willing to surrend'-!rtheir birthright to the political bossesat Norristown because they choose tohave a voice in the adminis tra t ion ofthe ir own a ffai rs ? The informa tionhas even been quietly circulated thatunless the voters of Narberth promise to be "good c hi la re n" a nd obeyorders, that the powers that be wiIIplace candidates in the field againstour Counc ilmen . The penal ty forfree thinking is annihilation, whichis exempl if ied by the curt dismissalof Edward Griswold as Assessor, because he dared to support two of OUI'

citizens last Fan, namely, Fred Walz er a nd Lou Young, who were rUIlning for County office at the PrimaryElection.It is to be hoped that the citizens

of Narberth wi ll not l et thi s attemptto dictate, go unchallenged, but willadminister a well-deserved rebulce atthe coming Primary on Apr il 26, tothe County pol it ic ians , and let Mr.Griswold know that our people apprecia te the fact that he held the int er ests of the community above those ofthe political machine at Norristown.

In'Yestigation NeededNewsworthy is the following tele·

gram received this week from Coun'cilman Clarence Kaeber from Syra'

cuse, N. Y.:"GREATLY INTERESTED IN

ARTICLES IN LAST WEEKS

ISSUE RELATIVE TO MERGER

OF THE BOROUGH W IT H

LOWER MERION HOPE TO SEE

THIS WEEK DETAIL OF STAT·

ED SAVING TO TAXPAYERS."

It is felt that it is not the function

of Our Town to advocate or inveigh

against consolidation of the Boroughwith Lower Merion Township untila citiz.ens' committee has thoroughly

investigated the matter and reportedits findings to the citizens of Nar·

berth. The s av ing to t axpaye rs as

the result of a me rg er is a matter forthis committee to ascertain and needsmust result from a pains taking s tudyof Borough and Township finances.

It would also seem that the cour'

teous thing would be for this citizenscommittee to communicate with the

Commissioners of Lower Merion, in·

forming them of the movement underway i n the Borough and reque st ing

their co'operation in m:,-king factsand figures available for study.

It cannot be assumed that becauseLower Merion enjoys a 9·mill Town'

s hip t ax rat e Narberth, by reverting

b ac k i nt o t he Towns hi p, co ul d im'

mediate ly have this rate. Its bondedindebtedness would have to be paid

off by the expedient of a h ighe r t axr at e than t he res t of the Towll3hip

until this should be accomplished.It must also be ascertained whether

by eliminating the duplicating gov'

ernmental functionsofthe Borough,the Township tax rat e wil l p rovide

enough revenue to carryon t he ad·

ministration of Narberth. The Tow1l'ship authori ties , natural ly enough,will not welcome annexation of the

Borough if it will mean an increased

tax burden, and their objections, if

this s hould seem to be the case, may

wel l c ar ry wei gh t w it h t he Court

in deciding the matter.Then, t he re is t he mat te r of the

school dis tric ts to inquire into. If

consolidation is brought about , theNarberth School District would natu'ral ly become a p ar t o f the LowerMerion School District, but there is

here also the effect to be looked intoof such procedure on the Township

school tax rate.As a matter of information we are

print ing herewith the State law on

annulment of borough charters. Ar·ticle II I o f A ct No. 145', published

in theLaws of Pennsylvania for 1931,reads as follows:

Section 301. Peti tions for theAnnulment of C h a l' tel ' s orChange of Corporate Names.The sev er al Cou rt s of Qua rt erSes sions within thi s Commonwea lth sha ll have power , uponpetit ion of two-thirds of the taxable inhabitants of any boroughheretofore incorporated, to decreethe annulment o f the charter orthe change of the corporate nameof such borough.

sible not to do in such attractive andtasteful s u r r o u n ~ i n g s .Miss Julia Compton, of Ambler

work, telling of the great needs of

the blind for the comfort of reading.

ThE!! cost o f p rint ing one book i nBraille i s f rom $600 to $1000-so thework goes on but slowly, in spi te o fmany generous g ifts . In Mrs. Corn is h' s a dd re ss to t he c lub membe rspresent, she announced that no majorp ro ject would be t ak en over b y t hegirls as a whole this year, d ue t o thefinancial status of al lclubsbeing verylow, but she hoped that each c lubwould continue its individual goodwork to as great a n e xt en t a s waspossible.

The speaker of the evening wastheRev. "Jack" Hart, whose teachingsamong the students at the Universityare well k nown . Mr. Hart began bytelling of his enthusiasm for the foregoing talks about the blind and Braillework. H e s ai d he belie ved God crea te d e ac h pne as an individual andthat we must each do t he thing wefeel called upon t o do. One o f t hemost important th ingsin l i fe is heal thand a s a safeguard to health it is important that we follow the laws whichnature decrees are best for us. Mr.Hart deplores the modern tendency ofyouth toward greater freedom, whichis not a lw ay s in the be st interestsof heal th, citing late hours, smokingand drinking among both sexes, as being harmful to strong and robust cons ti tu ti on s. Bui ld up toward o ld age-don' t build away from youth, wasthe purpose behind Mr. Hart's words.Each year one l ives should be richerin happiness and contentment, and itis i n the power of each of us to make

ourselves at 80 understand life moreful ly , deeply, and happi ly , than at18.

composed of bot h men and women,

has brought five Chinese students to

Bryn Mawr who have more than justified the theory on which the com

civilization, and in her turn has given

to many of her fellow-students their

first contact with Eastern thought andculture.

Among the speak er s b rought t oBryn Mawr by the commi tt ee areAmy Lowell, Alfred Sze, Chinese Am
