- '■» ■ ] The official tramway time-table and guide to New Plymouth is in the press and will be published next week. We have to acknowledge the sum of two pounds towards the Naval Dependents' Fund from M. and I. Edwards, Te Kiri. At St. Mary's Church to-morrow morning, four memorial windows, which have been placed to the memory of the late Clement William Govett, will be unveiled at the 11 o'clock service. ft takes 400(1 years for a totara tree to come to maturity, remarked the chairman of the Clifton County Council during a discussion on tree planting yesterday, A Keuter cable states that au Army order authorises wounded office's to wear a gold braid strip on the left arm and an additional strip for each time they are wounded. A Paris cablegrams says there i s a revival of interest in the Channel tunnel scheme. Deputy Leroy Benlieu is convinced that the scheme can be carried out. The Bishop of Auckland lias issued a special appeal to church members throughout the diocese for contributions in aid of continuing spiritual ministrations at the military camp<. For this purpose the sum of £SOO is required from the Auckland diocese, and, in order to assist in the work, retiring offertories will be taken up at both morning and evening services at St. Mary's Church to-morrow. The object is one which should appeal to all churchmen, and a generous response may be looked for. We are in receipt of a copy of Mr. Louis Raemaker's celebrated cartoons on the German Huns tyranny and depredations in France and Belgium. Copies may be obtained free from Mr. R. 0 Ellis, hon. secretary of the Taranaki County Recruiting Committee. A price was put on the head of Mr. Raemaker, who is a Hollander, by the German Foreign Office. The cartoons show clearly and forcibly what this country may expect should the German arms triumph, and from what fate our men are asked to protect their women and children. A stronger indictment of the tyrannous and unspeakable Huns could not be portrayed. At yesterday's meeting of the Clifton County Council, a circular was received from the Under-Secretary of Lands stating that with a view to encouraging the planting of trees for shelter and other purposes, the Forestry Department was prepared to sell and supply trees. No action was taken, but later Cr. Sander moved, "That this Council fully recognise the desirability of encouraging tree planting, and is of opinion than an expert forester should be available to advise as to the kinds. of trees suitable for planting in different localities and generally as to laying out of forests and plantations." The resolution was carried. The Telegraph Department is about tq instal an extra wire between New Plymouth and Hawera, and it is expected that the work will be commenced within a few days. The need of an extra wire, especially for telephonic communication, has long been felt, so ihxt the provision of this wire will be greatly appreciated. One result will be that subscribers will be able to converse with Wanganui at any hour c* Snc fiiy, instead of having to wait until after 8 p.m. It will also permit of more frequent communication with Wellington, and above all will tend to do away with the buzz that is now the bane of long-distance telephoning. A conference of school committees in that portion of South Taranaki, which has been transferred from the Wanganui education district to that of Taranaki, was held at Hawera on Thursday, when it was decided to form a School Committees;' Association in the southern ward of the Taranaki district, in order to endeavor to get the facilities, now enjoyed under the Wanganui Board, con tinned under the Taranaki Board. In the course of the discussion it was stated that the Southern and Northern Committees' Associations would be a mutual help to each other. Mr E. Dixon was appointed convenor and Mr. Sage secretary.

To-morrow (Sunday) afternoon, at ,'i p.m. (weather permitting), at the Breakwater, the New Plymouth Citizens' Band will give another recital, and it is hoped the new sphere of operations will be liberally patronised. The Tramway officials intend making special arrangements for the conveyance of resident* to hear the somewhat more pretentious music to be submitted on this oc;:asi:.n.
