TOTARA YOUNG HELPERS’ v LEAGUE The annual function in connection with the Totara School branch of the Young Helpers’ League was held in the school grounds to raise funds for the Dr Barnado’s Homes. This' year’s effort proved highly successful, and a. very happy time was spent by the large gathering of children attending the function. A large Christmas- tree ' laden with toys of all descriptions was the main attraction, and presented a very delighful spectacle. Excellent business w r ag also done in the selling of sweets, soft drinks, and produce. The function had been organised by the leader of the branch (Mrs J. Hollow); who -was greatly assisted by the secretary (Mrs Caldwell), parents of the members, and friends. Afternoon tea was much appreciated, and pieces of the beautiful birthday cake were distributed among the members of the branch. The Jsix candles, representing the number of years .the branch had been in existence, were lit by Mrs Caldwell and blown out by Stewart Needs, the youngest member of the' branch; prior to the cutting of the cake. During the afternoon Mrs Hollow addressed the children, and urged their assistance towards this worthy cause. Me R. Moir (headmaster), also spoke, and three cheers were given for all those who had made the function possible. The branch is greatly indebted to all those who assisted at the function, and to Mesdames Clark, Doak, and the Misses Ballantyne for contributions. The branch is especially grateful to Mr R. Needs, Who gave the Christmas tree, which he also,-erected, and his ■valuable; assistance during the day was greatly appreciated. As the result of this effort the branch will be able tb forward a very creditable sum for the Dr Barnado’s funds.

OAMARU BATHS ; EXPERIMENTAL TANKS. , , Last week, reports Dr Stubbs, has .provided still further data in connection with the sun-heating plan for the Oainaru Public Baths. The earlier experiments in October showed that 38in of water, under <a frame with glass to the extent of 80 per cent, of the water area, and remaining unstirred for eight days, heated up to 18 degrees at the top and 12 degrees at the bottom. Last week, from November 15, has been a very average one for this time of the year. Two days were almost Sunless, and others were only moderately sunny. The nights, with one exception, were cold, with minimum air temperatures below 44 degrees, and once as low as 30 degrees. The water in the above-mentioned 38in tank was now stirred each day, and the temperature rose from S6J degrees when filled to 76 degrees at the end of eight days—a rise of 19J degrees. Water in a larger tank, 4ft Gin deep, rose to 60 degrees in seven days—a rise of 12i degrees. The difference in the amount of rise in the two tanks is largely accounted for by the eighth day, when only the smaller tank was working, being a particularly sunny day. Oh the seventh day the difference was only two degrees in favour of the more shallow tank, although the other tank had a 50 per cent, greater depth of water. The effectiveness of sun-heating of water under glass is more than ever demonstrated. As ■ regards the cooling of this water when exposed to open air and wind, the experiment of the previous week showed that a depth of 4J feet of water fell 6 degrees during. 2 a cold, sunless 24 hours, with some wind and rain, and with air temperatures between 52 and 43 degrees. The fall in the night portion of this period was 3 degrees. This week also the running of: the warm water into the, open tank has coincided'with J unusually cold conditions. Exposed on Wednesday last, the water was 69 degrees. That- ; night was clear and cold with 2 degrees of frost,:but the water.fell only 5 degrees instead of the 6 or 7 degrees that had' • been considered possible under such con-; ditions. Next day being_ sunny, no less than 4 degrees was regained throughout the 4Jft depth of open water. The following night was again cold, and 4 degrees were lost. Thus the first thing in the morning the water w;is down to 64 degrees. For comparison, it may be noted that this temperature has not been surpassed in the baths on any occasion this season. Indeed, only twice, and then in tlie afternoon after a sunny day, has the baths temperature exceeded 62 degrees.

On Friday last, the third day of the* cooling experiment, the water in the open tank wOs 66 degrees at mid-day. Thus the open tank, which was filled on the same day as the baths, was 12 degrees the warmer that afternoon, 7 degreeswarmer on the second afternoon, and 4 degrees warmer on the third afternoon, in spite of two cold nights. The baths temperature was, of course, rising, while that of the warmed water was falling. Further, it is to be observed that the cooling tank has been shown to lose heat more than the open baths. When both have stabilised after a few days, the tank has morning temperature's 2 degrees lower, so that the results now Obtained will be improved upon when the reservoir is in use and the baths act as a cooling tank. It is thus demonstrated that sun-heat-ing of a single reservoir equal in capacity to the baths would give very much more pleasant bathing in the town. that; reservoir were eventually duplicated, the baths could be filled with fresh warm water twice a week instead of once, and delightful water would be assured for practically every day of an extended bathing season. A large public meeting in the Opera House is to be held on Wednesday, December 6, when the matter will be brought before the townsfolk, and Mr Frank Milner will be the principal speaker. It is proposed by the promoters of the plan that a filtration and sunheating reservoir, 100 by 55 feet, with an average depth of five feet, should be constructed this coming, winter. They say that this is a revenue-producing expenditure, that by baths receipts will more than pay its interest from the very first Sgason. Apart from that, it is certainly ah amenity well worth the annual interest cost, equivalent, after all, only to the rent of one good-sized house.

NURSES’ DAY Favoured with ideal weather the holding of "Nurses’ Day.” at the Oamaru Public Gardens yesterday afternoon proved an outstanding success, and the large gathering of the public showed its appreciation of the devotion to duty and noble selfsacrifice of nurses by giving generously to the Nurses’ Memorial Fund and to support sick nurses unable to follow their vocation. The four bands of the town —; the Oamaru Municipal, the Regimental, the Salvation Army, and Highland Pipe Bands —marched from different places in the town to the South African War Memorial. Here Sergeant-major A. CoQkerill took charge of the parade, and the bands marched to the public gardens in massed formation playing selections on the march. A large number of people followed the parade, which was carried out very impressively Arriving at the band rotunda, the massed bands played a march and a hymn, after which each band played items, which were greatly appreciated by those present. The nurses of the Oamaru Public Hospital, who were in full nursing uniforih, took up the collection, which amounted to a very satisfactory sura. The musical festival was one of the most enjoyable presented in Oamaru for some time, and the support accorded the day was an indication that the public as a whole realises what a noble wqVk is being carried on by the nurses of 'Dominion.
