Starting this week there are two classes: the seniors take the course each Thursday at the Col- legiate, and the juniors meet in the Centre Street schobl auditor- lum on Fridays at 4.30 p.m, through the kindness of the Board o ducation, T. Colbeck of the Collegiate Institute staff is giving oth courses, being appointed by the Ontario division of the St. John's Ambulance Association, This lovely snowfall this week has been the reason for many par- ties of Guides getting out on Tracking" expeditions and any weird signs and hieroglyphics seen in the fresh snow may have Jeep the secret signs of these par- es, All the Guide companies are appreciating ever so much the calendar issued this year by the Oshawa Dairy, with the map of the city of Oshawa. . One of the sections of the First Class test is that a Guide should thoroughly know her section of the city, and be able to direct any- one to any street, or tell them how to go to any place.

Mrs, Shortt taught the Brownies a Danish Dance of Greeting, which proved to be of great interest to each and every Brownie, GUIDES Second Oshawa > The usual meeting of the 2nd Oshawa Girl Guides was held on Tuesday, but the attendance was rather poor owing to the hockey game which was held that night. Captain Mrs. O. 8. Hobbs in- structed the girls in Health Ex- ercises.

AGED WOMAN HAS UNIQUE RECORD Has Made Every Dress She Has Worn Since She Was Fourteen Mrs. J. Lee played for the dan- cing and at sing-song som: of the old favorites were sung. Court of Honor will be held at the home of Capt. Mrs. O. S. Hobbs on Monday, January 25th. Armstrong, B.C.--Here's a record for Canadian women. of the modern age to ponder: Mrs. J. M. Bird of this city is past seventy and a great grandmother, but she has made every dress she has worn since she wae fourieen years old. Mrs. Bird won the golg medal certificate of the Vancouver Ex- hibition for women over 70 both in 1930 and 1931, for most points in needle-work. She also won a special $10 prize at the exhibition for making double the points in needlework of any other exhibit- or. At the 1931 exhibition in Vancouver she carried off eight firsts, six seconds and three third prizes. But sewing isn't work to Mrs. Bird. "Good gracious no," she said, when askeq if plying th® needle and thread did not weary her. "It's recreation. As soon as I'm through the housework I can al- ways depend on my needlework to take any mind off household cares. Why, I dont know what I'd do without my sewing." Third Oshawa Six more of the Third Com- pany passed their posture test taken by Miss Hazelwood at the meeting this week. Slowly but surely the girls are learning to keep their heads up and their shoulders back. Joan Townsend assisted the Guiders of Third Company last week by taking the cless in sig- nalling. Joan does signalling very well herself and is getting along splendidly with teaching tbe other Guides. Miss Smith took marching and Miss Moyse taught a new game. Next week there is to be an enrollment ceremony, Fourth Oshawa The fourth company of Guides spent awhile enjoying themselves in a few games and dances, to get either of us alone, We'll keep together.

I would feel better if I knew just how Little Joe Otter nas fared during the hard times cveryone but us appears to be complaining about." - "Don't you think that there are more fish than usual in this pond?" asked Mrs. Paddy. "I haven't noticed. What if there are?' replied Paddy. "Little Joe would rather have fish than anything else, and as long as the fishing 18 good he isn't likely to bother us, is he?" said Mrs, Paddy. Paddy's eyes brightened. "That is true, my dear, I hadn't thought of it," 'he replied. "The snow and ice may have made hard times all through the Green Forest, but that doesn't mean thet there are not as many fish as usual. We'll hope for the best and meanwhile we will be pre- pared for the worst." (Copyright, 1932, by T. W, Burgess) Tho Guides went - over thelr first class work led by each pat- rol leader. Some of the Guides passed in their stalking last meeting. An exciting story was read by one of the Guides, Molly Worsley, Fifth Oshawa Games on correct posture prov. ~d lots of fun at the last meeting, and the girls are going to try watching themselves in a mirror 'o see how they stand. The Scarlet Tanagers won the ~olnt for inspection and also the *oint for games. Evelyn Bowden is working on her First Class work, and also "ome of her badges during the time that the other Guides are doing Second Class work, The thanks of the company are extended to Mr. Ingham of the Scout troop for the carefully made, and god looking bed he nresented to the Guides this week for their bed-making instruction.

Miss Blackwood told how the native boys from the age of seven or eight have to wear tall, dome- shapeq hats made of palm leaves, until they reach manhood. They are not allowed to cut their hair, which is pushed up inside the hat, Formerly if a woman saw & boy without his hat on she would at once have been speared to death. The boys were subjected to many restrictions. They were not allowed to enter a hut in which a woman lived, not even the huts of their mothers, and they had to hold themselves aloof from all but the most distant conversation with women. The hats never left their heads. y Miss Blackwood described a ceremony called in the native language "Wani"', at which the hats were placed on the boys' heads. She was the first woman who ever saw it. She went as a man and carried a spear. She was told by the chief of the village in which she was living to keep close to him and to do all that he did. In consequence she found herself in the midst cf a mock battle, which was part of, the ceremony. Some years the boys took part in tribal later another gathering, when their hgts were J removed to show their hair, which often re: hed fo the waist or below. The L:ts were then re- placed. A third ceremony took piace when the boys reached the age of 17 or 18. Their hair was then cut and they were regarded as men, with the right to live with the 'wives to whom they had been betrothed since childhood.
