re-fesetitatives of tbe Bucks teachers to 'pointed to the Committee such "rt or tentative or representatives to the selected by the Committee from a panel iV tired teachers such panel to be supplied by the Bucks tr Brown said it the resolution was passed tbe Committee would have to i whether one or two represen-uiives should be appointed At the Education Committee meeting there was a general expression that tje teachers should be given some representation and the members of the Committee were rather divided as to wliat they would like done He understood from the Education Secretary that there might be some difficulty in getting the scheme altered but he did not think it would be an insurmountable difficulty The Education Secre-tarv told them at the last meeting that a good many Committees throughout the country had quite a lot of representation by teachers He was not asking the Committee to be overshadowed by direct representation of teachers nor iva he trying to displace anyone already-serving Major Whiteley said he approved of one representative being appointed Mr Scott seconded Mr resolution favouring two representatives one of the Elementary Schools and one Higher Education It was pointed out that if the resolution was adopted it would necessitate the consent of the County Council and the Board of Education Two children were rescued on Sunday night when these two cottages were burned at Pednor Buckinghamshire Chesham firemen had to draw water from a pond half a mile away Photo Proffitt Amersham For the thirteenth annual meeting successive occasion Alderman Dr West was unanimously elected chairma nof the Bucks County Council at Aylesbury last Thursday Alderman Lord Cottesloe was reelected vice-chairman In returning thanks the Chairman said last year he consulted Lord Cottes-i loe as to whether it was not time that he (Dr West) was thinking about retiring But Lord Cottesloe gave him such a definite negative that he did not take that step and he had to thank them for their very unanimous support He thought it was a human failing that persons who had been in office for a very long time often did not see their own defects when fliers could see them So he I hoped that if he proved wanting they would give him due warning of that fact because quite clearly he would not see it himself Satisfactory Work Dr West continued that he thought that they might congratulate themselves upon the satisfactory position of the work of the Council He was sure that they were indebted to the various committees for the excellent work which they did and he thought that it led to the preparation of that work in such form that when they came to their Council meetings they could dispose of the work with reasonable despatch and he thought that last November was more or less a record in that respect They had to bear in mind that all the time the work was increasing largely If they took their receipts and expenditure they had a turnover at the present time of more than three millions which meant an enormous mass ot work and they also had to bear in mind that their county was increasing in population from year to year 1 He observed from Tlie recent Census that there were only four counties in England that had increased to a greater degree than Bucks had and whilst the average increase for the whole country was only some five per cent the increase in the county of Bucks was no less than three times that So all that he thought showed the importance and the increasing importance of the county of Buckingham He thanked the Council for their support of the chair He thought they were able to carry on their proceedings with decorum and that no doubt was largely due to the fact of the loyal support which they had always given to the Chairman JUk a policeman "Yes Sir When a man9 on traffic duty in a city for eight hours a day he gets to know a thing or two about cars Gets to know what if you know what I mean And I must say Sir the

very troublesome thing to do lie said They had first to convince the County Council that they wanted to appointed more members directly representing a sort of sectional interest The Council were very jealous of co-opted members altogether and had the idea that they were extravagant although they on the Committee knew that some co-opted members were very valuable They had a fairly elastic scheme already with ten cc-opted members and they could appoint an ex-teacher under the last clause Persons living in the county specially interested in technical and gricnltural education or in the opinion or the Countv Council specially qualified for appointment as members not exceeding They had worked extremely well under the scheme for the past 30 years which had received the approval of the Board of Education and was operative under Act of Parliament It the resolution were adopted it would mean practically a new scheme for which he could not see the necessity Major Whiteley said he was in favour of one representative Although there had been no actual representation of teachers there had been in effect a retired teacher appointed and the teachers in the county had come to look upon themselves as directly represented That was not actually eo but hi thought it would be a good thing if they could feel they had a representative The reason he objected to two was because he did not think it would meet with the approval of the County Council Mr Brown said he and Mr Scott greed to put the resolution in the singular Co opted Members Major Mackenzie said he hoped that in some way or other they would always have some representative ot ex-teachers but there was an increasing tendency on the part of the County Council to fight all co-opted representatives They had a perfectly good scheme which had worked with practically no friction and they had nearly always had representatives of ex-teachers He was afraid the County Council would turn the resolution down and if it did not the Board of education might alter it They were peving the road for a very big revision nidi might not be for the best He could not vote for tlie resolution al-eiougli he hoped always to see ex-teachers on the Committee ihe Chairman (Mr Tarver) '3id he was against anv changes in the scheme Eight voted for the resolution and den against or repair their own furniture and repair their own boots Nothing will be sold and no payment will be taken for work done as it is the wish of the Committee that nothing shall be done which may be detrimental to local tradesmen and contractors The Committee has received a donation of £25 to provide work useful to the town and would appreciate further gifts however small Parochial Church Council The annual Parochial Church meeting was held at the Old Rectory on Wednesday evening for the purpose of electing sidesmen and nine members for the Church Council also to receive the report and accounts The Rev Wells presided and the attendance represented about 6 per cent of tlie membership on the roll The chairman opened the meeting with an expression of thanks to the various officials and Church workers and spoke of the harmony which existed The report and financial statement as presented was adopted Miss Jarrett in submitting the Electoral Roll said 12 members had died the number now was 906 The retiring members of the Church Council with the exception of Miss Hordern were re-elected and several names were added All the existing sidesmen were re-appointed with a few additions with the idea of bringing more into the work of the Church The Rector speaking of the fund for providing the stipend for a curate said that matters wrere satisfactory No appointment had yet been made There was no question for general discussion an evidence of the smoothness of working in the details of the Church YOU PAY RENT WHY NOT SAVE THE MONEY?

Buckinghamshire where some of milk is produced An exp imental dozen dairy farmers in tlie Newport Pagnell district of Buckinghamshire were recently selected by United Dairies in an endeavour to demonstrate that clean milk production is not a matter of expensive buildings and equipment and that the smallest farmers by attending to simple hygienic details can produce milk as good as that produced by large scale competitors The farmers had been producing milk of poor hygienic quality and had rarely qualified for the bacteria bonus The farmers were converted to the utensils and use of clean hands clean buildings and sterilization of equipment until every one of the 12 with no other changes in juethods of production and at practically no extra cost to themselves succeeded in producing milk of the standard laid down by the Government for certified milk So enthusiastic were these farmers over the results achieved that six of them voluntarily undertook the conversion of another group of farmers the smallness of whose establishments precluded large expenditure on new plant bnt who have in turn adopted the inexpensive methods suggested bv the technical experts of United Dairies Minister of Agriculture's Message The success of the first part of tlie scheme was marked at Buckingham Town Hall on Monday night (March 20) when some of the farmers were presented by Captain Elliston MP with prizes for the cleanliness of their milk Four hundred Buckinghamshire farmers were present and the following message from Major Walter Elliot Minister of Agriculture was received and read out to the gathering: I am very interested to hear of the activities of United Dairies in encouraging Hie production of clean milk and send you very best wishes for the successful development of this excellent Captain Elliston addressing the farmers said that the House of Commons was particularly concerned at present with the problem of agriculture They believed that a great step towards prosperity could be taken by increasing the sale of milk In England to-day the consumption of milk was only one-third of a pint a day per head In other countries as much as a pint a day per head was consumed If we increased our daily consumption to half a pint per head 100000000 gallons more milk a year would be consumed The advantage resulting to the farmer would be that he wonld obtain the liquid price for his milk instead of the manufacturing price It was the keen desire of Parliament to see the consumption of clean milk increased Mr Ben Davies a director of United Dairies Dr Orr Medical Officer of Health for Ealing Mr Wilfred Buck-ley and Mr Tustin technical adviser to United Dairies also addressed the meeting Two films illustrating clean milk production were shown

was another bad day for the Stoke teams for with the exception of the schoolboys all lost Great disappointment was occasioned by the Rovers losing their semi-final of the Premier Division of the Slough Town Cup on the ground with St Cable by 3 1 This is the second semi-final lost by Stoke teams in the last two weeks and only the schoolboys now remain as potential cup winners The Rovers
