I From the cabled news to the Sydney Sun we learn that a good deal of discussion has been taking place over bir, Henry Dalziell's Bill to provide for a ■fixed calendar. , If the measure commands parliamentary approval, each 'month will begin ,on Sunday and end. on' Saturday. The first day in every year will therefore be a day suitable to be set apart for the framing of good resolutions. January and. February will -each have 28 days, and March 35. lhe ; months of each quarter will be similarly arranged.- In' leap year a day will be interposed, -making an eightday week between the end of June ana the • beginning of July. In order to meet labor conditions and remuneration, New Year's Day and Leap Day will conform nearly to Sundays. Both days will be bank holidays. - Provision has been made for comings of age and other events in the calendar. The proposed new calendar will apply to all the dominions, but will be inoperative until it receives international concurrence. During the past three: days Waimate has had its full share of the heavy weather." .Heavy rain has fallen, accompanied by a bitteify cold wind. Wednesday T has broken clear; the Hunter Hills 'showing a heavy coat of snow. . Adverse weather conditions kept many people away from the organ recital and 'cantata rendered in St. Luke's Church "last night. Certainly the performance was deserving of.good patronage, lhe cantata, the second part of Day and, '.Nieht" was well rendered', the solos being taken by Mrs Batson, Miss King, " Miss Gilford. Messrs Williamson, Lucas, and F. G. Williams In the intervals between the musical numbers the Rev. J. D. Russell gave a. short summary of the story of the cantata. Organ solos by Mr F. C. Burry added a pleasing variety to the programme. Ine organ numbers included Guilmant s "Pastorale," "Nocturne" (Chopin), and the march "Triomphe," composed by Mr Burry himself. A very old landmark known as Grant's corner store at Waimate _is about to disappear, having been sold for removal at the modest figure of hit. Tlie building is some 40 years old, and stands on one of the most valuable sites in Waimate. A new and up-to-date structure is to take its place. Another excellent series of moving pictures is to be screened at the Opera .House to-morrow evening. The list contains two scenic films, a picture or the King and Queen attending thanksgiving service at St. Paul's, a vaudeville turn, three stirring dramas, a Pathe colored drama, and five comic ■ subjects. A full list of the pictures will appear in to-morrow's issue of this paper.
