GORDON ADDRESSTS THE SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES LESS IHAN IN 1 REDUCTION LAST ,YEAR OVER PRECEDING Pleads ifor Return to the Idea's and Principles of the Relieion of Our Fathers Jn Solution of Problems of Juvenile Delinquency Dr. Gifford iGordon addressed the combined Senior and Junior High Sichool assemblies Tuesday after¬ noon, .Tan. 2'2nd. He iportrayed in an Interesting and forceful manner the necessity of the development of sterl¬ ing character by the youth of America in order that they may cope successfully v^ith the many vital problems of the immediate future. Dr. Gordon indicated that a revived reverence for the home and a renew¬ ed respect for parental authority, together with a return ot the ideals and principles of the "religion, ot fathers," will to a large extent solve the problem of juvenile delinquency in America. He has spoken to more than 600,000 j'oung people throughout the United States and he bases his observations oni a "wide experience. The Lansdale girls won a closely contested game with • the Ambler girls on Friday. The flnp.1 score was 21-19, and the game was the closest and most exciting seen on the home floor this year.

"Pierre feed the birds and animals during the present period of intense weather," was the plea of the sports¬ men and nature lovers. "Grain, food¬ stuffs and other necessities for their ¦' continued life should be placed in available places," the statement add¬ ed. 1 Poy Scouts and farmers will co¬ operate In tho feeding, the Associa¬ tion pleads. of $11,339.97 In court costs was ac¬ complished over the amouiitt spent In 1933, a statement given out by Colonel George Wander, solicitor for the County Controller, states. Court costs in 19a3 were '$49,395.05 and in 1934, $38,385.08. Cases affect¬ ing 8£'7 defendants Were disposed of in 1933, and in 1634, cases involving ICOO defendants were heard. Attorney Wanger and Controller William Irvin give credit for this saving to Judges Knight and Corson and Danneho'wer and District Attor- ne^ Stewart Nase. ¦ "Controller Irvin has authorized me to state that this jreport lor the year 1934 will show a very substan¬ tial reduction In appropriations which cover court expenses," Attor¬ ney Wanger states. "In 1933 the county paid jury fees oif $28,475.0,2. In 1934, it paid for the frame item, $21,305.69. "^\1itness fees in 1933 wore $12,914.- 03 while In 1934 they were $11,394.39; while the exipenses for tipstaves was reduced from $8,323.50 in 1933 to $3,65E in ,1934. f "This reduction is more significant "This reduction is more signifi¬ cant," Mr. Wanger says, "Because of the fact that cases affecting 837 defendants were disposed ot in 1933, while in 11934 cases affecting 1000 defendants were disposed of. "The Corf.rdller feels that this very substantial saving to Montgom¬ ery County, coupled with the trans¬ action of a greater amount of crim¬ inal business, is due to the careful supervisioi^ Of Jfresidlent Judge K(night, .with the full cooperation of both Judges Corson and Danne¬ hower and of the District Attorney's office." ail the w.ay.

Ambler started off strong, and at the end of the flrst quarter had a lead of three points. However, during the second quarter. Ambler went into a slump, scoring only 3 points to Lansdale's 9. The half- time score was Ambler 13, Lansdale le. > Atter the 10-minute rest, AmKer came out and piled up a lead of 7 points before the third quarter was over. Then Ambler took It easier and held a .safe !level until the last whistle blew. Once again B'urrell led the list of Scorers, having 13 points. Maffet Igave him plenty ot competition, but followed with 11 points. Amey plung¬ ed up to his true *orm by going out of the game on personals, but while playing, he scored 7 Ipoiuta. Sincox the tall Lansdale center, beat out Amey with 8 polnt.s. . i The Ambler second team broke its losing streak hy defeating Lans¬ dale's second to the score ot 22-21. Kimmlriiger was high scorer with nine points, and Leach followed with 8 points. Library Plans Anniversary 12 years .ago on the 14th of Febru¬ ary was begun, with a total of 12 books, the nucleus of an institution which that year was formally charter¬ ed as the Ambler Public Librarj'. Bach year Jias seen a gain In pub¬ lic interest and in the number of borrowers from the library, until now the number of volumes accessioned has reached 8,399, with an annual circulation of 14,453. In March, 1934 it •eras found neces¬ sary to employ a full-time librarian. Miss Margaret iDalley, of Lansdale, so that_ the library might adeiiuately serve the community. All non-fiction books -were com¬ pletely cat.a'iOgued during the year, and the books from the Union Library Company of Upper Publtn have "jeen gradually added to tne shelves. The library has assembled an unusually fine collection of books for children. Last year the libr.ary made an ap¬ peal to the people of the community to provide funds to help carrj- on the work. To the generous response to this call the progerss made this year, can be attributed. A similar call will be made on this Viirthday anniversary for funds to continue this splendid!

Dr. James N. Rule, Sup¬ erintendent of Public Instruction, said recently that such provision should be made on a permissive basis and that any legislation which might be I adipoted should contain, among others, the following features: 1. The school population of any district should be large enough to operate a complete twelve-year pro¬ gram economically and efficiently. 2. The Unit should provide for an adequate and flexible program of study adapted to meet the needs ot pupils; for local professional leadership, and! for economical and efficient tax col¬ lection, school administration, bud¬ getary control, transportation of pupils, planning and maintenance of school plants, purchase of textbooks, supplies and equipment. 3. The county unit seems obviously to be the ideal pl.an for many areas Lansdale Advertising Man Honored More than 60 delegates and regional newspaper representatives attended a business meeting and round-table conference of the Interstate Advertis¬ ing Managers' convention at Penn Lee Hotel, Shamokln, the discussion featuring subjects relative to news¬ paper advertising and methods of development.

The School Tax Transfer of the public school bud¬ get from the local', jurisdiction to that of the State is not likely to oc¬ cur for the simple reason that de¬ mands on the State In the present situation are so large and create such a deficit that St.ate revenue cannot very well meet the requirements of I complete maintenance of the public system.
