In _.the historical flash:bLack, the _ Guides traced the history of our country from the early settlers, de- picting home life and Indian warfare.| ~~ The religious freedom in the new land was symbolized by choirs in Catholic, Protestant, Salvation Army and Jew- ish costumes. ; A display of national European dances followed and added color. This brought the program up to 1910 when early Guides in old fashioned lace col- lars and bustles put on a display of Guiding in the early years, much to the merriment of the audience. An international pageant with the Guides in costume, represented the "three and one half million Guides of 28 differént countries. This included 48 Girl Scouts from Buffalo.

Then the people of the surround- ing. district turned' out to share all they could with their unfortunate neighbours. That was 66, years ago. During 'those sixty-six years Port Perry has become a prosperous com- munity with comfortable homes and pleasant surroundings. We are lucky people! But imagine how you would feel had your homes been the' victims of one of those ca- tastrophies? Consider how you would feel if yo saw the water creeping across your lawn; your doorstep, floors and furniture? The I.0.D.E. have taken the lead in Port Perry and ave collecting all good clothing available to be sent to the Manitoba Flood Victims. Saturday is also Tag Day in aid of these unlucky people and the L.O.D.E. are again lending the helping hand. When your opportunity comes to give, take a good look at your home and give the most you can. --Y ~¢ ra > - Rev. J. T.

It should qualify him to earn his living by some vocation suited to his tastes and abilities : > It should develope his char- acter, so that he will live. and act wef. 3. It should open and enlarge his latent capacities so. that he can enjoy life on a high plane. : 4. It should train him socially and politically, so that he will make a good citizen. : : > -- We try to educate our students with these fowr aims in mind: 1. Vocations are skills. Skills slowly grow out of the daily grind at the desk or the machine. '2.

Cultural studies and activities enlarge the view and expand the per- sonality. People with culture are more interesting to others and life is more interesting _for them. 4. Social studies----and--contacts| quicken a _student's sense of the need' of society for his best service to it. We hear much these days about aggression, ingratitude and selfish- ness. We hear much of these dis- organizing ideas not because they are saying more and more that we dis- approve of them. The world is slow- ly learning the different art of living together. Education should help along the good work. = We invite you to support us in our aims. } : * * * * .
