TOWN & COUNTRY

Mr D. C. Bates, Government Meteor-1 clogist, advised last evening as follows: I '"Present indications are for cool and changeable weather with scattered showers, especially in the East Coast districts. Expect moderate to strong easterly winds northward of Kawhia and East Cape and south-easterlies, backing to southerlies, elsewhere. Squa.ly at time between East Cape and Xaikoura. The barometer will fall shortly everywhere." Mr Wooles forecasts for South Canterbury to-day:—"Moderate easterly winds; weather fine." As will be seen from our advertising columns the local Anglican Orphanage Committee are inviting offers of land on which to build a boys' orphanage in Timaru, and there is every prospect of a building being erected here for the above purpose. Next Sunday being the twenty-ninth anniversary of the dedication of the nave of St- Mary's Church, special services will be held, the preacher both morning and evening being the Rev. J. A. Julius, vicar of "Wahnate. The offertories at all services will be devoted to the reduction of the debt. O'Callaghan and LeCren, Ltd., advertise particulars of a clearing sale to be held on account of Mr Marshall, who is leaving Timaru.

At "Washdyke on Wednesday evening the residence of Mi- Albert Lake was completely destroyed by fire. The fire occurred through a log of wood rolling out of the dining-room grate and setting light to the floor. The house was an eight-roomed one, and contained some valuable furniture, all of which were lost. The house and furniture were insured for £6OO. H. Edginton is advertising in the wanted columns seeds of all descriptions in flowers and vegetables. The seeds are all new this season, and under favourable weather conditions purchasers should have good results. 11. Edginton has appointed Mr A. TV. Gosling, Pleasant Point, as agent for all requirements in the garden and nursery line. All orders will be promptly attended to. The telephone number is 465 if you should require seeds in haste... The Legislative Council on Wednesday afternoon passed the Imprest Supply Bill of £953,000, and the Expeditionary Forces,Bill. In committee a clause was added to the latter giving somewhat larger powers to courts-martial than does the Army Act, in regard to the acceptance of evidence. When this clause was placed before the House of Representatives for acceptance, objection was taken to it, and the discussion was ad- j journed. Yesterday the Council transacted some formal business, and then I adjourned for a week. Those who are interested in the work of the Red Cross will be pleased to read the following cable received at the Christchurch centre from Lord Jtanfurly, London, who is keenlv interested in the Red Cross and Ambulance movement at Home:—"Poultry and hares much appreciated.

There was a large attendance at the Caroline Bay Hall yesterday afternoon when the Waimataitai school broke up for the term holidays, and the pupils gave a concert in aid of the piano fund.

A roll of honour of ex-pupils of the school who have gone to the war was also read. This and the term honours list are unavoidably held over until to-morrow.
