Are you having difficulty in ar- ranging your program for the next few months? Are you wondering what you can do which will be In- teresting, amusing and will perhaps call for thought originality and wit, from your members? King St. Groups have for some time made a practice of something which, If your group would try it, can he guaran- teed to do all this for yon, Do you not think it wonld be a good idea to have a group paper of your own In which all the {important group ac- tivities are written up and to which poems, stories, jokes, ete, may be contributed? One member of the group could be made editor and once a month or so the paper conld be read at one of the meetings. You might encourage and even discover some hidden genius fro among your own members. Congider this for your program next month, BASKETBALL Foursquare vs. Kxcelsior Strong was the spirit but weak wag the whistle--such was the game between St. Andrew's Foursquare Grorn and tye Excelelors from Sim- coe St. § Ham The ball whizzed up and down the floor, inside and ontiide, as A! Ross (referee) and her fifteen-cent whiztle tried vainly to make hei selves heard above the -deafening roar of the spectators, When, at last, the time Was gone, Fourgquare group emerged victors ous with the sight majority of 43, the seore being 65 to 32. We think the Excelsior group might have won if 8t. Andrew's had not got so many more points, Lath After the game, Mry. Kirkland and the girls served a delightful lunch and everyone enjoyed a per fect evening including the reception eommittes who stayed to wash dishes.

The speaker for the evening was Mrs. Mayowna, a native of Czecho Slovakian. She wore the national costume of the women of that coun- try and explained in detafl the num- ber of yards needed to make fit, which was about twenty-five alto- gether! And also that they only had ope dress in a lifetime. Would we like that? She told how the wo- men were treated and their ways of Hving. Indeed, the eloquence of the speaker was such that one girl sald she would like to listen to her fo an indefinite time, The rrovn «tal he very glad to have Mrs, Mayowna speak at another meeting, The first practice for hockey was scheduled on the coldest night of lust week---Wednesday!

BOOKIFS' OFFER RESISTANCE Impos'tion of Batting Tax Results in Drastic Decline Sydney, N.8.W.--The new stute ministry of Premicr J, T. Lang recently imposed a tax of 10 per cent, on betting. Immediately the "'punters,'"' as they are called here, instituted a etrike of 'passive re- sistence" along the lines of the fa- mous Gandhi Indian campai™n. This however, was a financial pas. alive resistence' and if it fs main tained at the same rate as it start. ed, the government will receive nearer $25,000 a week while rece meetings are on, than the $200,000 they cstimated, Bookmakers saw their business shrink to 456 per cent. of normnl at the Randwick meeting. JTnvest- ments in the totalizators likewie shrunk by $60,000 In one day. The racing was keen, the weather con- ditions were beautiful = but the betters hung back. Instead of the customary 10 wickets for the "totes" four were sufficient. Giloom descended on the book. makers when they came to analyze the day. One of the hig men, with a specially good connection, .con- sidered that his business had de. clined by 76 per cent. Gone were the bests of up to $2,600. A big Melbourne operator, who came across to assess the effect of the tax, will go home convineed; his biggest bet was one of odds to $500. Punters accustomed to bet in hundreds did not invest a dol- lar. Others laid experimental wa- gers to gauge the financial results, They were not encouraged to go on. One man betting on the outcome of a protest in the Trial Handicap, laid 7 to 1. From his #50 winnings $40 was deducted as tax--10 per cent, of the value of the stake and win, Thus his $350 earned for him only $10, go that, instead of 7 to 1 on, he had in effect, laid 36 to 1 on, Nobody seems to have forseen this amazing angle of the tax in. cldence. Nobody foresaw the mass- ed passive resistance by punters that denuded Ranwick both of its pulsing life and its fiscal frenzy, A 60 per cent. fall in betting gen. erally was the estimate given by some bookmakers. Others sald that a brightness early in the day had been supplanted by complete punting inertia hofore the third nce, All were agreed that the tax ptruck "a blow at the whole race ing game. INTO GROUP PLAYOFFS Fergus, Jan, 20--Hespeler interne- diates trounced the local team in the O.ILA, series last night, by 7 to 1n a game that was as one-sided as the score indicates and that was witness. ed by a small crowd.

From Far Away Doesn't it seem funny to think of Guides in Iceland. But there they are with headquarters at Rey. kjavik, They are nat called "Girl Guides" but jrobably their name means that in their language. They are called *Skatafjelag." Who can pronounce ft? If we think that the Iceland Girl Guides must wear very heavy uniforms, what do you suppose the Gfildes wear up near the North Pole. for word came to us this week of the formatica of the first company among the Eskimos. Maybe they will wear fur uniforms. It doesn't matter what they wear: it is what they Are that is zoing to count, and that will make another lot of girls trying to live up to the same splendid set of laws as you are, We will all be Interested to hear more about the Eskimo sisters.

This weok a letter was recieved from Sterling from Miss Kathleen Mundy, the Captain, expressing the deep appreciation of her girls for the beautiful gift which had been formally presented that week. "I kow this splended flag is go- ing to be a source of inspiration for the Guides as long as there is a company in Stirling' writes the Captain, stating that as they were so new they had not done anything to help others, yot buf that the flaag would an example for them to follow.
