A large crowd of Weston Col- legiate students happily antici- pating warmer days, made their "Salute to Spring" at their an- nual prom held last Friday at Casa Loma. It was the year's gay- est and most glamorous party. Those in the receiving line were Principal and Mrs. C. W. Christie, Vice-principal and Mrs. Ralph Heard, Leo Mosley, vice- president of the Weston student council and Miss Brenda Harries. Born and reared in Chatham, Ontario. he continued his educa- tion because of his parents' " forts and persistent urging and graduated from Western Univer- sity with a Bachelor of Arts de- gree. "We do not have an Indian problem," the principal of Danes- bury public school explained, "we have a Canadian problem.

An additional sum was bor- rowed in 1961 for the installation of a swimming pool - so appre- ciated during those long, hot summer days at camp. WORKED HARD The Brownies, Guides. Rangers and Cadets have worked hard since then to repay'the mort. gages on the pool and property. This has been done almost en- tirely by cookie sales alone. The pool is now completely paid for and the goal for this centennial year is to sell enough cookies to enable them to complete pay- ment and burn the mortgage "We Have No Indian Aroblem" It's Canada's Problem Says Currie Lend a group of girls $20,000.? Ridiculous! Yet that is just what happened in 1960 when the Guides, Brown- ies, Rangers and Cadets of York Downs Area borrowed this sum to buy 100 acres of land near the Caledon Hills, about 50 miles north west of Toronto.

All problems go to the superintendent (formerly the In. dian agent). Since the forests have been disseminated and the streams polluted they can no long- er support themselves this way. "Some leave to better their lot," he went on. "There are about 10,000 to 15,000 Indians in Toronto. But without education, money or pride it is almost im- possible to get employment and they go further down the social scale. Economic reasons dictate where they can go for diversion and where they can live. Miss Rose Atkinson, a repre- sentative of the Indian Associa- tion of Toronto, also spoke about some of the problems she comes up against as an Indian in a white society. All facets of the vocational program were open for inspec- tion including many individual and class centennial projects.

Since 1929, when the first "Cookie Day" was held to raise money for Jt new barn roof at the Toronto Girl Guide camp, selling cookies has been the main source of funds for the Girl Guides.
