NOTES Atmospheric conditions were good generally last evening, local sets registering practically all the main Australian stations. The Melbourne Station, 3LO, transmitted an excellent programme which was enjoyed by local listeners-in. MELBOURNE (3LO) In connection with the Sunday programmes broadcast from 3LO Melbourne, special efforts are afoot to make them even more attractive than hitherto, and a particularly high standard has new been attained. Quite a new departure is taking place, and the object now is to persuade people who are very much in the public eye, to take charge of the programme for a certain night. Therefore, .Miss Renee Kelly is not only playing in two sketches specially written for the occasion, but Is assisting in the arrangement of the other part of the programme. TOPPING ACCUMULATORS. Rain water is o.k. for topping up accumulators, but should be collected in an earthenware pot out in the open spaces, not under down pipes or verandahs, since iron drippings and other foreign matter will enter the water.

This is one of the many happy facts revealed in the eleventh annual report, which says: “It is safe to say that the council has never put into being a more popular scheme.” in i >e- -(ibhku
